Crawley Town FC v Swindon Town FC Official Matchday Thread

Going back to the game, have I correctly understood that 4 of the players played with a virus?

Paolo said before match and after that 4 players had a virus - was praising players for their attiutude and dedication in those circumstances.

I read somewhere yesterday that Andy Williams was sick

even worse, he's dead

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

No, he means the Swindon player Andy Williams.

Gary Roberts had a good game I think. Otherwise it was a bit shit really. Game never got started. Rooney did decent when he came on

[Flashheart]

Almost forget I watched a game tonight

I think Rooney looked handy when he came on. I didn't feel too confident with our defence.  A bit difficult to comment on much else because my stream wasn't all that great.

When Roberts was asked if he thought PDC was going he said no, but quickly backtracked to er, I don't know, I hope not. I haven't got a clue.

Small crumbs and all that.

I really want Roberts to be good but bless him, I don't think he is.

Sat in McDonald's in Crawley. Workmanlike performance on a shit pitch with another crap ref. Missed Ritchies creativity

I think he's staying for the moment. It all depends on what happens when he talks to Jedward and his mates.

Did ok tonight.

On train back now. Missed first ten minutes (bloody TFL), but we were definitely shaky in first half. McCormack should not play at right back, and I don't much rate Jay Mac tbh. Ward and Flint were solid, and Wes saved our bacon yet again. Penalty was a shite decision- you could see the Crawley players were testing the refs opinion on diving. Their player who went down could have shot, passed, or moved inside two or three times- was obvious he was just waiting for some contact to go down.

Ref was a prancing fool in general.

Second half we were much higher tempo, some much better play, particularly after Thompson and ROONEY came on. ROONEY is utterly different to the last time I saw him. Positioning is much better, pace better, awareness better. He is vaguely credible as a wide player (minus his skewed crosses, a couple of which were pitch related)

Speaking of the pitch, it was awful. I played rugby at secondary school on better.

All the town fans on the train/around me in the ground feared the worst after the wave. Glad to hear it was just your usual Paolo.

Chorus of Wilson is a wanker as we walked out under the commentary box was good fun.

I now look forward to getting into London Victoria and having a McDonalds.

Agreed. I think he wants those three players signed on Friday and no later, so it's a threat to the new consortium to get the ownership sorted and pronto. Could be tricky when the Football League's involved.

Did ok tonight.

He did ok and also when he came on in the last home game.

Chorus of Wilson is a walker as we walked out under the commentary box was good fun.

Is that a typo, or a surreal terrace chant?
