We're really trying to manage our once the seas brilliant blue sky overhead glorious sunshine but very very chilly soon in term versus autumn is our lively 2 football b.b.c. Work this afternoon Leyden injured Jai Simi starts Anderson back on the banks that's the headline news with just under an hour to go to kickoff Let's hear from Manager Richie Wellens on one of his former clubs as a player and manager a couple of years as a as a as a player give me all as a player. Reach the playoffs before she wasn't and could nothing of inequality to go up in the end when the player here is a player relationship the fan was always good even as a manager and I don't think that I need to really go into the politics of the other side of it because I think since I've left the field obviously escalate a lot more because of the managers of going after me in and found the same problem so. I tried my very best to work in an environment was very tough you know we see all the stories coming out with Marcus for plays called on strike and not playing games on it on a regular basis plays for him just right because I mean paid for free for weeks away if it maybe tried to keep it in house or try to keep a lid on everything and not once did we have a can close to losing a fixture does this make it very much an extra residence not really because it is a club the exchange Oldham is always a family club of a clock that used to use its links within the gram and just do a lot of old and supports friends was my you know I in amongst the supporters but I . Think it's kind of a clueless lost his way of it I mean he protests outside the ground of your weekend thing not in itself speaks volumes about where. He's not a good place and you know Simon Corney for all for all the falls he paid a wage and salary and he wanted to do well as a football club. And he let the money just get on with it so I support what him out and he got a new man in 41 self when you're on the kind of good run as you are party you kind of keep things together how do you make sure things rank passive in the example I did last week exactly like the question last week was is it a good chance you're playing because I'm in the bottom No because I've got my job again it's not about one over over the same day he's about always keeping to the standards that we've set making sure that we do Ok moon will make the changes we can because we have to. And he's got to the play that comes into to say that chance because of the 5 or 6 players be honest I live in a moment really train well so it's been difficult to get them in but we have we have spoken to him individually and assure them that they will get enough minutes communal and in the next you fix it because we're going to need them and the fact that if they are training Well the performing well in training no love no it's ation up and the place was almost self policing when it comes to the standards of driving a I mean you always I'll learn a lot about the players when I 1st came to this club in defeat and I'm made my mind upon 6 or 7 of them after we lost a couple that no there wasn't for me the way they reacted football's easy when you win in. Motion week so you know we had that spell where we didn't have it and could end of September beginning of October I learned a lot about the players a new that would be fine so. I don't think complacency will come into it he's about was continuing our good home form because really good run of form a whole and continue to move the ball quick. And take the game to the opposition. To being involved and to monitor the month worth saying I thought of them. As a player I think is nice to get awards as a player prefer player season was not. Monthly awards same as a manager think you know your trucks different awards if you especially if eating is playing well but prefer it to be Caesar manager of the season manager that I think when you get a monthly award and the curse can come from things like well I say secures I mean no one ever says the our minds are Month month this week and they want it just highlighted how many players go Potter all clubs and never score or hundreds and hundreds and hundreds want to play play golf but he's also been his cause we've had it before so this year and on the religion off something was based was in 0 club just as we had interview honest and because it just. Ritchie Valens is the manager of the month is the player of the world and always you can understand why they're well if you cooperate through November that we've got a pretty good chance of being. Badgered about that except I caught it never but again they're both ticking over except exceptional by striking keep scoring in every case it's very hard for our think getting all about our justice and I wonder how well defenders might be playing elsewhere look strikers who can't stop school scored in 8 straight games Harry Morris 992-7928 The rituals are really this one in times he was back as far as World War 2 the World War One is they said the league to start back in the program today Doyle 18 any goals that Yates 10 or 29 shots on target he's top 50 pool percent of goals that he's been involved in interesting in couple of the other categories Andrew Lloyd is growth 5 assists is 3rd in the table Keshi Anderson minutes Perseus 230 is the 2nd in the table so there's a bit more game changer options on the bench today yeah absolutely if. That's when the bucket a playful fall 2 or neither is Grove and Amber some look at a star or another coming back from injury that indicates a luxury the depth really for this division that you've potentially got 4 wide players with respective qualities of is. And whether it's to stop the compliment too far it struck us because at the start of the season it was me we had to be patient but the manager true to his word and he said trust is really really important if they play well they keep the shirt and I think he's got a lot from all those performances even if he has a solid got goals these are the pace clearly unsettled sides he's got a good physical edge up from what you actually kind of stand next to with and you realize he's pretty broad as well particularly. But that's a as a lot of physical power they have as well to go with the speed so you can imagine trying to defend against them is very difficult the one thing I keep staring is winning headers as well and I think the aerial damage to this guy who he says is always out but we've we've really seen it come out so I don't talk about maybe your wing is important in terms of set piece defending but perhaps you can argue that maybe I should have told the story on the radio before we did a photo with Richie Wellens back at the start of the year I went off very told me to pick the team for the next day so I rattled through a few names in the 1st question he said was he was going to be your marker at defensive corner so there's much more to picking it seems in terms of it's all round ability to cope with the opposition's threats but. As he looks like on the wings this afternoon I suppose I'm going to see me among 6 players all know various points in time to their run out or they'll be reviewed. To stay. Probably go back to Portsmouth to get more game time. Grant question mark it's difficult. I've said it before I remain it's naive to be optimistic a door that clearly is not replying but I would think it would be amazed if that happened why all the other. Moved about to accommodate you placid finances it would seem difficult to try and reintegrate them tempted as they must be look at his goal scoring record here in contrast to his goal scoring record profit continue to take over. By seemed happy enough so that you start the season. When the players look content here I can't imagine that oil wants to go back especially given the struggle to score but I did too badly in a t. But it was well out of contention and looked like it was valid Db relegation pretty early on. Here why would you want to return to a site where you don't really fit into well by. You have fitted in and subsets the t. Britney is built supply. Players don't always get. These things at this level just see me again as a real possibility the magic of being involved or not so obvious getting a decent amount of game time I got some settled and happy hands of some markets. I guess I've got no real interest in keeping him it's just whether. I'll come in from the League One side maybe when I can get hold of him but again I think the half months he got lice because we we finally caught up with him after the couldn't speak and the sort of the enthusiasm he seems to have. That might weigh in its favor but you know while the top players can run the end of their complex numbers into the. Some of the rest of them occasionally they still have to go where they're told if the answer you got will be on the radio as you say the next 50 minutes Stephen bender is well 24 years or more ago still worried by the. Oil scenario perhaps in the Premier League level points to the top of the table. In the lunchtime game Nigel Pearson's 1st game in charge of the Hornets got the goal study of. The reception area about 20 minutes ago. That club record of 16 says it wins in all competitions they face 3 Chelsea manager Frank pre-match a bit of a problem killing games off says they need to finish more of the choices they create their own to pull most today elsewhere in the top flight Bernie versus Newcastle United Aston Villa Southampton play West Ham a 530 fifth's and Mary's there's no game to chip in this weekend out of the f.a.

Wiltshire. 62nd highlights of our. Election marathon if you're so disposable and on the b.b.c. Signs up from 10 o'clock always the 1st can be 30 was north wind and the last was devised out of 457 with the changing political map across the country in between election special b.b.c. We're live from where you live at the County Ground this afternoon Eastern time. Is the lead to action Oldham players in front of us the student turned goalkeeper they run the past I've been put through their paces by Stephen Stephen bend down the 1st team sport for clean sheets in his last 6 games it's pretty much what I expected because. Lots of long balls lots of. Physical play and I think we've played a lot of teams that do exactly that like the physical but obviously our team we try to play football so I mean that's really good. How much of a test is that. Starting with a. Really crowded penalty. It's completely different to the 20 Frisco's to freeze you know if that physical people like you go up and it's pretty easy I think but then if you're man and especially in the book 6 to 8 players it's way more difficult. But that's the challenge and I think this that's why I'm here to learn. From that. Do you just want a comfortable instinct. You know we see the training in training as well but then it's different because you have more players in there so that's why you have to make mistakes can come for that can come for that and you get better from that so. Problem of having to bring this up. But with a gun it's so after the after the penalty itself that he didn't seem fazed by that you don't seem to be very confident yes or so how easy is it to kind of overcome overcome that could save lives alone and perhaps it might be a mistake yet I think it depends on of a about for me it's an on going to make mistakes and I'm just trying to keep going because it's always about the reaction after so I'm trying to be even better be even louder be even more aggressive and. Just keep going. Didn't stop isn't taking the ball passing the ball from the exactly you know if you if you stop doing that then I think it's worse an actual mistake. I guess but as much for the rest of us as you know if you do make bad mistakes or even if I make a lot about a mistake in a comment or something like that it's quite off you know it's quite difficult Yeah I put it like that so how are you able to kind of do that so quickly I think it's just you have to remember this wrong and you have to just think I'm here to learn and I'm obviously going to make mistakes I'm only 21 years old so you have to think you know you've got to make mistakes but then just try and not think about it too much just tried to shout it out than just keep going and they generally have you had your session for how well do you feel you're blind I think. Defensive you we're playing as a team of playing really well and we didn't. Give up on us too many chances so for us as a team it's it's been brilliant 14 she's having you know 6 games or so and if you just keep going keep continue like that we're always going to chances are from going to keep winning games than that because your role and make sure that defense is organized. I think obviously as a defender it's hard because you don't know ya don't always see what's behind you and what's next to you so for me it's just trying to hold my guys Sam tell me there's a guy behind you or keep moving to the other side and stuff so I'm just trying to do organise things they can bend maybe is the real deal I think you can go all the way in the game I think you can achieve a lot he just surprised me in how quickly and how. On the Schumann is going on about his job. Apart from that if you look across that same experience placing the ball in boundary. Friday is Grove the $2627.00 which have all contributed. Gerry Ace is going to explain exactly why experts into the k. Maurice moved on to the wing going in the last 67 games has been exceptional so I don't think anyone surprised me just maybe maybe a couple of the quicker the more that's the fore. We. Put that question. To the January transfer. To facilitate to continue. Every. The next 15 minutes. But all the. Absentee for the last couple of games which I suppose because it. Hasn't been as significant is it might be. Not. In in both the contracts and ignite except it's all the underscore of the gate at ground in train properly and hopefully we can get a few behind closed doors much as income commonly the profit came and maybe for enough to get back in the squad. So the crux of the 5 day gusty winds record yeah is something that we don't know power if we're being ultra critical of ourselves we as a club should I know about in the plays a teacher known about it. Unfortunately 6 of the players that have been before they aren't that I've come for the same the same situation and not one has come out in favor of the players so it's strange because I actually brought in try to protect players. So close Carter's use in the pews I'm. Just I'm 40 in this case at a stop in a law to. Make a living for his family yet he stopped in there in money for the previous 2 weeks and and on your commute for. The Conservatives had run. Towards the taking of his cock like a 100 other firm believers we got over option then to be professional and go on the job and it is what it is and he just at the 2 of us Phone is so and even trying today is. His demeanor was very good so we will just get on with it and the types of injuries were you on on the no if you have a picture of one so are the star 11 will change for the 1st time in the move week so the last 2 adults. There's no way I would just what will work on a couple things and I will make a decision going forward who comes in. Yeah we picture in your we don't want to pick opens and playing in the well. Is what is. The reason he was in the squad for the for the games the game is just simply there in training for 2 maybe 3 days and it's a muscle injury and we can cheat past i.e. When we want to come back from some reasonable range and so he had no weeks training maybe back in school. To start. We've waited and we've seen the ministry managed. To see me start in cash Anderson is back on the bench under those 2 mind was making the point that it isn't in force change because actually 18 points out of 18 need stick with the same time. By keep paying off yesterday's the other sort of enforced try if you like as well but now as. It ever occurred to me to fill 3 doubts Eli Broad especially if you've got. Sides poxy to adhere if you don't want to extract central midfielder Dave got 3 of the quality of those suppliers to hill so it gets by so just last week the Grimsby kind of went went for the side for my show The Last of Us to be the sort that honest person is I thought I thought about pretty good because with just from our a probably better best position it's a pretty. Good squad good playas seemingly well that's it together by a manager with a pretty clear structure for the needs to win and in simple layman's terms they sussed out how to handle James Hansen is a fact comments like I did yes so James Hudson essentially. She brought struck it right 6 foot 36 foot 4 thank you normally just to stock shelves before before he was a professional athlete they'd just kind of figured out a way to sort of deal with you but the point is if you tried really. Compete for a ball with him in the air the odds are you'll probably get in then you do a bit of. Seem to the smallest might be said to get round to make sure if the ball dropped from hands that it would drop 2 cribs reply to this with the book of pick up they'd use a set of bodies just like difficult and so you can. Just see very very sort of well for very careful defending and again it's a smacked of good thorough preparation has a player who's got a really sort of specific set of scales and we've got a specific plan a method of defending against him wrap them up and get to predict who are the players now are eyes on the pitch to be right it's been talking to want to be so opposite of his own Yahoo coaching staff for absolutely ages What would expect from the last 6. Games last you didn't yeah so. As is always the case. And I who was in charge of Stephen edge ability quite well last season thanks for that a bit of a difficult time as well for my last season start the Richie Well I just particularly are thrilled with the sort of direct why. I played the guard so we're safe we'll look at all of that but yeah there are a couple goals last I think I'm to see to have quite a good record of hits with the priest he has for whatever that is that's worth but my but that is difficult but as. We want to Gigi supplier said that it was and I think looking at that. To you but as far as our sport as well as only one recognized structure that's our it could play that I could come and sit here broke up midfield and see if I could defend the officials just about as well referee David Iraq assisted by Danny Gratz and Matthew Smith but not Dr Who I was told Brother so the mascots today as well as a few memorable day for them because he kind of got under the radar has Nintendos in the league 11 he's clearly the league 2nd top scorer. Looking to score once again for the 9th much in a row and soon tying looking to make it 7. Out of 7 in the league for the 1st time since politick and his promotion winning season of 201120126 in a row a grimace be his midfielder and see me go out on not 3 nil success and goals obviously but I wouldn't do well and Gerry $80.00 are geriatrics can't always see like everyone looks at dial but everyone knows she's a diamond at a team and. Don't finish as we see in training all the time and I was seized by these 2 goals 1st place a season done to it on fire and off she canes don't forget came was always he's a massive outlet for us as well so everyone's doing their part and everyone's knows what they're doing obviously everyone switched on at the moment so you keep doing it what's led you to discipline and be so influential you make Yeah. I'll say the governor really and the boys I was taken to me well and Phillips me express my self and just tells me to go out to my stuff honey as well so it's very everyone's like on the same when 1st time for balance by most hard to work and work and to fairs No it's not a very big time no biggie goes everyone just knows what I gotta do if I'm not doing it obviously French wasn't doing it she died to get on to him and just get back on to doing it so I want to takes it takes on the chin and wants to work off each other and obviously is working just keep going and I could I guess you know said Michael that is what helped you with the midfield Oh yeah Me Me and out here we know each other's game of the backyard so let me play together we know it's just easy to be fair guys one of the best which was a plate of so obviously just easy. This is not fun as you've had playing football for a while you seem to be having a good time. I always got a stuff on offer it's just a 5 a side game I'm a local southeast London so just start our Farland special. Obviously at least a free Noso feels even better when you have a fun and you know the questions coming up when you hit your head till January gave you hopeful something can be done to extend it to the end of the season oh yeah I just hope overseas time's running down asking quicker and quicker and obviously I want to stay so we'll see what happens. If you want to promotion before now been in the past I will not talk about playoffs and stuff. So I mean is that perhaps of a further incentive to make is that they have it and the is a chance the way applying say oh yeah the way the teams fight it's not just me plan I was just trying to help and just do what I do my job and lean on to other people a day job so everyone's doing their job at the moment even the subs when they come on d.j. Make an impact when he comes on Rosies just one of them everyone's coming on know what to do with us has been and teams on a high right now. I'm going to venture not losing the game as how we got 2 weeks without no game in a place of also questions about no game so I feel even if we don't lose Well you never know football for who's away games of school keep this government and. The league we are. Indeed. Football League we go that's Anthony Grant you clearly wants to stay a little to no one is on the wall for 2 goals for Mohamed Salah b a r one rule to study a man I say they are 11 points clear for now Lester in action at 3 months city don't play today so little to no one is home to Watford just well and who's going on the the possible clash between board. Not Andrew horses as you've just recode Fanny cannot hold proportions Yeah I see but this is still coming back to a bit of a high he said early on after said that for the panic I went up to try yeah I think I must have conceded that are pretty sure that Terry felt I could help at least was shoving each other. In either of those 2 backing down and I are a general but that's that's cast around from my brain so if anyone needs to correct me you know the usual text text numbers to get a note on the scale of Patty in the. From other Football League matches remembered by Stephen Clements who's a pressing the buttons this afternoon b.b.c. Or just Saturday sport every game and every go over the holiday period then next Saturday for a screen away that's always top of the table you could say Boxing Day Colin Calderwood Cambridge you hear them Paul by the way on the Sunday remember just in time between pictures it's Sunday the 29th for that game then Plymouth or New Year's Day they're back to back home fixtures Bradford with oil and then can go into a play against crew here 7 days on all those loan issues will unfold details 1st on the b.b.c. Will soon time the verses Oldham this afternoon Doyle I think which one is also told about it. Merely is to make you want to form nearly missed out by getting a 5th yellow card you've got to for as did my brothers on the amnesty kicked in at the end of last month let's hear from the boss on a much simpler disciplinary record. Bookings. Certain I would work on it. At times and some in place of a tactical fouls which might get you booking power from not the not we don't play did not call any one who you would say constantly pick up walking out of frustration we die earlier in the season because he picked up 23 bookings argue more referees which were in close to a suspension and he meant the young talking off against calling because a game was won. Last minute. Thinking more about. Defensive. Position. And you think. How. This. Sort of time boss Richie Wellens on b.b.c. World sure he's t.v. Is top of the table this afternoon I shall get to the table and the fixtures with the moments in hand 39 points 3 clear backstroke 36 then forest green on $35.00. $34.00 with a game in hand cruel $34.00 with a game in hand perhaps $34.00 with the game in hand but not enough to overcome us even if they would it Northampton are currently 731 points in culture strong 30 Plymouth on 2928 Cambridge in Newport on 27 already up from the bottom all come on 15 Stephen a John 15 slightly better goal difference Carlisle Oldham Grimsby on 20 lane Orient $21.00 who also called on $22.00 Michael Steele $2324.00 and so foot on $25.00 the fixtures today Carlisle goes down the foot of the table child allowed to Cambridge Callie versus Paul it's a crew against Mansfield Maine or it was his Bradford across the bridge Newport Stephenie's North Hampton I'm to 3rd place forest green Plymouth to get bottom of the table so foot versus 2nd placed Scunthorpe against Colchester and versus Michael Steele in the Premier League Liverpool to Watford Millis to 1230 kick off Southampton West Ham from 530 sandwiched in between just 4 fixtures Burnley against Newcastle Leicester nor a Chelsea was there and ship would you know I trust him still to come this weekend Arsenal Man City Crystal Palace. Brighton Man United. And wolves say merinos Tottenham Hotspur as mentioned no game for chip in this weekend in the f.a. Trophy Soulsby are awaiting more in the 1st round Meanwhile in the. Premier soon as superior to torture stories perspire and in the 1st of. This field high worth are a way to put if it were up half and full time scores their 25 to 3. Took the time sponsors the swing the boys Christmas party there are loads of youngsters here today looking to enjoy the atmosphere in the clubs but I was junior read part of their playing a foundation part of the beginning of the week busy time for the players they've got the pensioners lunch coming up the carol service at Christ Church the hospital visit and the course of football to play as well every game and every go on b.b.c. Let's hear more from goalkeeper Stephen bender on his background in the sport in Germany of course he's on loan from when I was really young. We didn't really have a goalkeeper so one of us had to go in and it was me and from then I just stayed in enjoyed it. But. I. Just like to get the strikers frustrated and try to keep the goals I. Moved. Towards. Saving friends yeah. I mean it's quite difficult obviously nobody around you know so it was quite difficult. I think. Quickly and settled and so to my parents came over a few times it was alright then. And now it's it's facing you know. We always come through in the shore. And out in Germany you you learn english pretty pretty soon in school so obviously it's not as good as you actually in England but the more you know the longer you're here I think the better because as a. Team you can notice any differences between what's the way been coached in this country the way you were coached in Germany it's a slightly different German adult keeping style ball or is what you're us to do pretty much the same I think I think it's pretty much the same but then obviously it depends from top to club because the goalkeeping coach is have different ideas on how they played maybe so just I don't think it depends on the country I think it's more like the different goalkeeper coaches of the finale is because obviously you can look at neuer and state Yeah well I can do that feat I just want to get that if that's come back to right earlier than it did in the sky Yeah I think you can fit in Germany you get teeth from a young age I think to play with the ball and to come out early and stuff like that but I think the more we go on the younger they get in the room as well because they obviously look at other countries and see what they can do and France I think back to when that happens of bonuses to be right in the promotion rice and dealing with all that extra pressure and expectation is that I could feel development as well I think it's brilliant for the development of because obviously always have to be at the highest level and you want to make the. Promotion push so I think it's a bit more pressure but I think it's it's perfect for me development to import experience from that pressure perhaps a yeah I think it's. But the younger you can get those experiences the better as I was incredible feeling in the face come up every week and sing my name and sing different things so you don't get this experience and it's great. That we can completely different cause it come to that we. You get nervous I think then once again I think it was. Stephen bender because he watches Andrew horse so as I recall and do it at 860 Munich man originally and Ritchie Valens has already said he thinks he might just be the real deal Yeah well I think the the attitude you kind of heard in the interview I just it seems incredibly calm and self-assured and I'm here I will bite the stakes that's part of my process and I'm good enough and I'm calm put it in my fundamental ability to refine my class take it out I learn from it and I don't do it again. Those are those exceptional qualities I think I. Have a good career big goal kicker because you will occasionally be. Affected if things go wrong it's. Not simple but he's made of rating a pressure star Have you heard Richie once that says a lot of potential down here on the touchdown we got to kind of small sided game going on. As well as mittens on Tom ingrates new dawn to give him some more protection on the other as he's bitterly cold here but still thankfully dry as we look forward to Swindon Town old in the league to be Carney just walked by Chief Financial birthday to her I've covered my Match Day magazine from. Right through and picked up it so her time to Celebration they've also put a really moving tribute into Keith Rowlands r.i.p. To get a chance to read this when you get home football grounds up and down the country volunteers but in the heart and soul here is when we have plenty. Of a. Most Treasured passed away last week Keith Roman's been with when it's over 33 years in different roles most recently helping in our media room not many of y'all know despite his long running service to the club was been right up there until the final weeks before his passing Marian Ward writing this tribute to Katie's much Day partner he and I were there for 33 years his 1st role on the tannoy system operated the school board and we'd always confer to make sure. They were on the tip of the school board was stolen both of us moved into the media room where we looked after the press Keith a proper gentleman always had time for people such a thoughtful person even donated a television to the media room he was renowned for the biscuits he bought for the press brackets to have with the half time couple he also volunteered with the R.B.'s at the g. W. H. I was president of the Western players he'll be sorely missed by all especially me the media room will never be the same without him Keith you will never be forgotten Sentiments echoed by all of us. And best wishes to Marian as well as undergone a lot of. 3 points and for Him Washington from that great big football stadium in the sky Keith Rowland our I paid. 23 b.b.c. World chess winning time versus Oldham the 3 wise men have just gone past me on my left shoulder small talk to them in just a 2nd but a couple of supporters here. At Athens in the main Arkell stand regulars both given away by the fact that you've got your replica Europe is showing now it's red and white scarf red and white hats Yeah all in fine swimming tank colors so gentlemen who are you where you from down from Abbey mate John from Grange what do you think of the season so far why is it going so well. There's been a fantastic why performance how many of the away trips you've been able to make. About half of them I guess. I have my guess and some of those are viable over 1213 or supporters must be a great atmosphere behind the goal yes I was surprised I was. So few last week only 300 and something it didn't I thought there was more than that and we went. But we are very well away Split 2nd Division say what you make about who was a Grimsby then Doyle scored again in 2 really impressive Gerry Yates goes even at the 1st one to have a big deflection. Was it effected I've watched that 7 times now I'm not sure but a 2nd goal was past 56 by is fantastic My man of the match last week. He's had to make a change today then so looks like a change of formation as well Leyden is the player injured and joyous emus the one the start so looks like 442 what would you make of the. Obviously we heard that in the way that there was a player with a major injury I don't know whether is a major injury it sounds like it's probably not a major injury injury what I was hoping was that if it was a major injury it was one of our central midfield players apart from Graham because I feel as though we can actually cover everything else gotta be on the. Stage or he's not really impressed me that much. But then he Anderson and is Grove are not realistically going to come straight back you know after a long time such interesting and they obviously they're banking now down and we get a call when the 1st 20 minutes then we should win no problem but it could be a stave in the age of 18 it's been all too familiar so we've mentioned Gates What about Doyle because I don't know when you started coming but in my lifetime. Well where should we start Supersize Me Parkin Charlie Alston. Cox Mays road. Morris but none of those have scored in 8 games in a row that is incredible incredible and obviously everyone every Swindon player supports his wishes is is that he's here January and next season hopefully but. Who knows who knows that big miss big miss if he does I think who does know what about your loans Yeah Grant joy see me bend probably will get bored with the game time that they will seem to fit in very well that's right yeah. I think it's been really good. Very C'mon then I got bored really in the 1st few games I was a little bit worried about him because his passing was a bit slack but the last few games and he was my man of the match last week. I think he's been dry all the lines on he's doing really great so fair play to. Whelan's and power for that so where does this season end up than in League One next season we still hope for the mystic. From where we are now if we fail to get promoted is going to be a massive disappointment. Yet we've got to get might yes even with even with that I think we're in we're in the driving seat obviously. And it might be Stephen. B. This afternoon. To no. 3 nil win or one. Loss will be a one no loss no Chance thank you very much indeed have a good Christmas fan's perspective from this main Arkell stands let me just shuffle across the stair case to Steve and the brothers know about your brother's law. So again the tennis season is about to start at. So he's not here so he went to Grimsby excellent So what do you make of that then 3 nil away and James Hansen didn't get a sniff one of the most complete performances of the season we really really were good and yet 2nd after probably more possession in like every part of the field we were organized to structure it. I mean when doubts he starts to win overlaps in the 2nd half you start to think oh Could this be our year maybe one of our jury eights contribution was saying earlier 11 goals 2nd in the division but slightly overshadowing Doyle for the national press Well I think at He's he does an awful lot of work that allows the oil to stay you know top and top in the ball in the back of the net you know what you hear you know people talk about all of previous clubs in his day there's always a bit lazy maybe because he's on his own you have to do the work as well if you've got Yanks doing it for him you know well and he's got it right as me so it's a change today. So looks like it's back to 442 with joy seeing the starting of it that could be a good thing especially for a home game as well as a chance for us to score some goals in front. Of last week's game it was such a relaxing thing from our fans point of view it was it was different so let's see if we can bring it back to the carrier grounds some of those performances are saying away as I said goals like let's hope so and I appreciate fitness plays a part because you really have imagined at the start of the season Anderson and his grove on the bench enjoys seamy when restarting I don't think anyone would recognize the start of the season but if you're going to win the league which is what we're here for you can have to use every one of every player you go. Let's just keep that run going I'm over it today about the curse of the manager of the month. I mean it's been a long time since anyone here's what I made bigger pulls through to rich people when it. But I seem to remember in the past every single time we've done it we've been bitten on the back side the next great site let's get past that he's also made the point that often managers want it and we don't pick up because often they do go on to win I don't totally legitimate credible player of the month. I mean you know there's a substitution was on put the ball in the back of the net isn't it you know you can be a fantastic goalkeeper but you're always going to applaud it you're only going to go up the school goals and simple as that he said of course the oil I talk about the Harry Morris Bowl this fantastic strike is that we've seen if we are the roughly the same generation nobody told Doyle scored 8 games in a row in the league believe is absolutely fantastic and the fact we have to the manager of the month I play of the month is our 1st is our 1st was our pool player so question it's a question to be honest so schools today what you think were good goals for them for they'll just look at the way they're set up to look in a flashback but for you so you know I'll just take one no you know be nice to see a full 5 nil and really this is place not about us like we are away. We definitely going to win today and the we've just seen sit in the pub Charlie Austin come off the bench in school today for West Brom and we were having a discussion about our best strikers of years Doyle is really really close to it Charlie Silverman for me and it just works and lyrical with a tear in my eye watch in school those 2 goals for West Brom. It's just win today 23 nearly as good now for me to restart. Peace series though Ok you know all of you say that so Gholston a slight tongue in cheek or not and I. Did. Not park in Coke's maze road and white Shira all those Yeah but that was one. I started watching a boy the way it was 40 years ago on Wednesday says we are still for 3 anyone remembers. Those were the days those are the days thank you gents enjoy the game there is no party expenses account on the b.b.c. For Steve Randy and I can always offer a valuable insight on Swindon time 40 years ago that's a big creative or are still of course it was that the 3 younger was going to the controversial goals in the semifinal of the League Cup Yes. Yes a power pole sure I believe is it that's what the whole of it people say Oh indeed John McGinley is also in the sun in all of infamy and I heard him on the local radio station in some for your the day but he couldn't work. Out on the road to get out of a terrific away support 300 Grimsby 121500 earlier in the season a place like Plymouth next causes the new lawn. Be sold out already sort of trying a way to Mark Green if you don't make the trip to school cometary. They are currently 3rd time team is top of the table. So it's a lot easier to get so I want to get call that it's. Seems so. So if you're in for when you lose a game and you come away. And the last one if you chase and you lose a game and so it's nice. And think that it plays on that conference and against. It as it as a player my. Father a lot. Which is a place. In sleazy. And they mean it's a different proposition if it's a drop in selling to the much I mean the league playing from the stadium from so long to different aspects to it could be beneficial to us if we in the round start and yet we still need more we still need a couple more plays out there again it's all about identifying For example they might not be sure my out there you will score 20 goals. Somewhere out there we think in our team yes in my position but the bulk of it comes in his courtsey So if we put him in I would say that's the way we've got to look at it because if we go out on the road with a little window. We want someone who scored 15 plus we're going to get one because it's a make it a lane go if he's flying somebody or if you have a vision are going to take it so we have to just look and be clever about certain things it is good football it gets in the right areas he makes the right movements that we want and if he does that in our team. This ritual and on b.b.c. What you've done here by the touchline the tunnel has been extended so the players will be are surely a whole host of sponsors a mascot spam Liza around ready to capture the moment the ball boys are just forming up as well for the guard of honor so in a time most all of them is less than 10 minutes away extended interview with the manager this week let's wrap up the it's a pretty much conversation Richie wants you to see which is under a horse feel like you are in a position there was something quite substantially from a recall the work the way you got things going on now I think of getting a position for starters here. Of all of made decisions this season a major appreciation of the season early on in a season that probably were in the right things. At the time but I made him with a long term thinking that's essential for at times because I'm thinking I should really be doing this but I want to do it because for a long jetty of this team but for the trust of the players when they look at me I think the name indeed it certainly seems to be made so. And she questions from the building from for long term every My jurors are such a volatile and you should feel that things can change so quickly. You have sort of an example of one of those decisions and like I'd rather keep them to myself I mean . Certain things that went on beyond the same sense of your choosing that maybe I brought some running research from the else that wasn't the right thing to do and I'm no it's not right and so there are a need to do it for the for the tradition and long term effect they would have I misquoted yet just into thinking about building democracy got their knees my way don't go back in January I think if you look at your number of contracts in season there's a significant number so given given the turnover of players at this level how easy is a pastor to construct something over 2 or 3 lines that never really bring success because you have to change a team in year year in year out when you've made when he when this club has been on a small deterioration of of everything real physical then it's difficult as a chairman to put your trust in one managing the wrong I'm going to really believe in him and I want to go forward do you like this player your liking we should be giving this player 23 year contract I'm not sure we've made mistakes in the past just give him one see how we go we give him one if you're not very good we've got an easy out but if he's very good we have the. Problem way off it seems my comment the obviously the price of music moves lower because of on a on a smaller contract so that's what this club has been like for a number of years which we which are not around I think now it's something that we do need to look up. Players need to be long. before 'd players it can make. Very initial I think. So the time boss Richie Wellens mapping out the future in regular dialogue with Director of Football Paul Joel and Chairman Lee power Father Christmas is here hello Santa is the Christmas and zone of course they've had.
