Swindon Town Vs Southend - Official Match day Thread

[Batch]

was sung in a different key yeah,

You sang in a different tune! Good effort all round though.

On the attendance front, 6800 ish, that's not too bad given the relegation, prices and the fact we've had a few home games in quick succession (if you include Saints in the Carling Cup).

[Benzel]

I'm unsure if you mean this in a good or a bad way?

Storey - if you combined O'Brien and Blair Sturrock you would get Miles Storey.

I think he's just compared a teenager making his 2nd appearance for Town to two players in their mid to late 20s. I just ignored it.

not a great game, but we deserved it, although i did think southend were fucking awfull, need to train on defending set peices, nearly got caught out a few times in the first half, ferry again superb but yet again subbed :sherlock:devera still looks nervous, where was flint, think we are starting to settle now, cant wait for tues against crawly, this will be the test , on another note i noticed pox had 8000 at home today

[DiV]

I would have thought the point was, he makes intelligent runs in the channels like Sturrock did for us (yes, he fucking did - just a shame no one else picked up on them and it and filled the box) and he's quick like O'Brien.

I could of course be wrong (for once)

I enjoyed that today and we looked like a team rather than a collection of individuals. McCormack was MOM for me. The good news is that you could put forward several names for MOM, always a good sign. Devera looked like the player we'd hope he'd be rather than the bag of nerves we've seen. Kennedy looked better at the back but his delivery was a bit off today. Caddis had a great game. Lanzano looks as though he's going to be the opposite of Smith and come off his line for everything- got a bit lucky today. Ferry had his best game this season for us and Smith scored a great goal and added a physical presence in the air as well on the ground where apart from one challenge his studs stayed. DeVita had a great first half but looked to run out of steam. He's got a great touch and good vision - I'd like to see him play in the hole if we ever lined up that way. Connell also has a great first touch and fantastic play for the 1st goal. Kerrouche is a latter day Chalky - chases everything. Connell and Kerrouch must be a right pain in the arse for defenders - always looking to drag them out of position and chasing every lost cause. Great team goal for the 2nd as well.
In the first half i thought we'd finally got a ref who realised it was a contact sport - he was excellent. In the 2nd however he'd left his brain in the changing room.
All in all a good win and we go above the Scummers so the normal order is being resumed.

All I really got was the fact that it wasn't Flint's fault  

I think Di Canio has quite a flamboyant way of talking (as do most Italians) which makes it sound like he's having a go at someone when that may not nescessarily be the case...or something. Who the fuck knows?

I probably have totally the wrong end of the stick but could it be construed as him having an issue with the in house medical team as in Kate Cady?

[Kinky Tom]

i can offer nothing with regards pdc's take on flint's injury, the reception was going in the car by then so paolo and interference wasn't a recipe for understanding the sentiment

[Bogus Dave]

reception in my car was crystal clear and i couldn't understand a fucking word he was saying

[Benzel]

I never can. It makes me laugh.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I probably have totally the wrong end of the stick but could it be construed as him having an issue with the in house medical team as in Kate Cady?

Yes, I vaguely picked up on him being not at all happy with the diagnosis. Although when he said it was not Flint's fault the interviewer asked him straight who's fault he thought it was. He then just went rambling on again and didn't answer the question.

My radio signal was pretty bad, but all I heard Paolo say was Aden had a bum probably and had problems with poop. I think what I heard was far from the truth

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I definitely heard 'poop' mentioned. We're gradually piecing this mystery together.
