Awful first half and terrible midfield.
Did Obika touch the ball.....balls never got near the forwards.
Better second and we maybe could of won it....Byrne came alive and the slightly heavy touch and the decision to take a touch when put through twice cost him a goal.
ref was utter shit for both sides....how was the black forward chap not booked....?
Um Bongo was fucking hopeless today as were a few of them.....they improved second half and we could of won it...looked most dangerous after the red card.
Yeovil? Long season ahead but I think they will have enough in the tank. I wouldn't like to watch that every week.
Enjoyed a pint in the Arrow and catching up with Herthab and JJ... herthab throwing his pint all over the bar was a sight to behold.
That pretty much sums it up perfectly.
First half was the worst I've seen us play this season, Yeovil stifled us in midfield and our forwards weren't even in the game. Much better 2nd half and could've won it. The ref was dogshite.
Nice to see Flash and JJ and nice to see the celery making another appearance.
It was great to catch up with FLash and Herthab in the Arrow despite the beer throwing, but with your Foderingham like reflexes saved most of it
The game was truly a game of 2 halves.
1st half we were poor, chasing a bigger, stronger, faster team than we had, jaded midfield off the pace, Kasim, Luongo and Louis barely kicked the ball, one attack from Bell with a great cross was all we offered, after that Bell had a mare.
A little too much passing back to Foders when a slightly more forward pass was on, yes I know its the way we play but some touches by Foders looked suspect....but he made 2 of the finest saves I have seen in years one at each end of the pitch.
Jordi Hulahoop (Flash®) had such pace and quick feet against us, only a saving tackle from Nathan saved us when he was clean through, although he couldn't hit a barn door at 2 foot.
For their goal Jordi rounded the defence and Foders to pass the the inevitable Hayter to slot in en empty net, probably justified.
2nd half we outplayed them, when the ball was on the ground they couldnt cope with out passing, mostly down the right with Byrne who was a changed man 2nd half who tore them a new one against a very poor left back.
The goal was a good team goal, ball played down the right to Stephens who took the ball past their defence like a winger and crossed for Williams to slot it in the top corner. Brilliant.
Nathan then got sent off for being fouled and holding onto the ball...yes it was silly after being booked earlier but it was no way a booking as he was fouled first by the big and pretty dirty Yeovil side, Honkytonk summed them up...agricultural, and a typical Johnson side.
A draw was a good result, any away game that you don't lose is a good result but we could easily havs snatched it late on even with 10 men, their keeper who looked fairly shaky didn't have a save to make until about the 80th minute (after getting nowhere near Williams goal).
Still the rain stayed away and there was a good if fairly quiet Swindon following and the return of celery, I havent seen that at a Swindon game since the Macari days.
Oh and a special mention to the Ref...who was determined to ruin a poor game, but he was as bad for both sides to be fair.
