Swindon Town (A) - FA Cup 3rd Round - Fri 7th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Just a word of advice for those heading to Wiltshire. Should you need the bathroom facility for anything other than pissing, go before the game or hang on. The facilities leave a little to be desired and have probably deteriorated since your last visit because they are rarely used. I'm only mentioning this because I think you're generally good people. If we'd drawn Bristol City, I wouldn't mention it.

There are good toilets in Wiltshire - sadly not in SN1.

As a club, our history and culture is founded, in part, on the bogs at the back of the Kippax.

I gather you Mancs are a superstitious lot...

The back of the kippax was the bogs! Good to use the word bogs, respect to the Swindon gent

Can we have a sweep for the first mention of the cost of our team? I'll say 3 minutes into the game.

I assume you are discounting the studio build up here where it will have been mentioned at least 3 or 4 times. Plus the commentator will mention it as the teams are walking out of the tunnel as they cut to an ad break.

the training regime is adjusted to accommodate the match, in effect , the actual match replaces a training session. No need to rest anyone, other than for strategic purposes, winning is the prime target. The last fifteen minutes could be purgatory for Swindon, if our possession has them chasing shadows,
using up their adrenaline and then the inevitable trough that follows.

The reason we are dominant is because all the squad are ready to play, i:e match fit, they get game time.
It is easy to see which players if free from injury will be rotated and brought in for this game.
Steffen, Gundogan, Grealish ,Sterling , Foden, Fern, and hopefully Palmer, all fit that situation.
The balance between fitness and game time is something we are very good at, despite some posters( Not you) wanting their favourites playing every game.

Isn't that the attraction of the FA Cup though?
