Stevenage FC v Swindon Town FC Official Matchday Thread

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

SH - How's Troy?

PDC - I don't want to talk about the name that put us in trouble

Surely he's not referring to the transfer fee?

That response was utterly fucking bizarre.

[Flashheart]

Interviewer again trying to make Paolo say the e word. Stop shit stirring you twat.

And Paolo hasn't bitten

[Berniman]

Lost in translation, big time!

Or he could have been wondering why TAH didn't say he was sick in the first place?

Yeah, hope he hasn't been a naughty boy.

Could well be. Who knows with Paolo.

I thought Hodgetts asked a bit of a double question and Paolo answered the non-TAH bit?

PDC:
- Prefer to win against Villa but were always going out to win
- Bostock injured
- Performance was good
- More angry than ever, but not saying why (We should be able to guess - Another injury from context)
- Players deserve this performance as they have been so professional
- Worked hard in the week and improved a lot
- Very delicate moment for Storey. He will improve a lot. PDC knows how to handle him
- Players came out and focused from the first whistle. The same as they have when we have beat good teams. Didnt give Stevenage the opportunity to settle or socre.
- Came out with energy and desire today.
- Sad because of 2 reasons - 1 Side is inconsistent. 2. Another injury
- In 8 months we have played against 3 x Premiership clubs. The players and fans deserve this chance.
- Changes made today were with an eye on Tuesday.
- Bostock played in middle where PDC says he can sometimes be lazy.
- Saved some of main players, but had to play 80% of them
- Doesnt want to talk about the name of someone who put them in trouble
- Troy was ok before the game but started being sick on the pitch. (Might have been saying that Troy got nervous)
- Bostock has muscle damage and is likely to be out for a couple of weeks as he said the pain was like a knife going in
- Hodgetts tried to get him to say why he's angry, as the implication was because of the embargo, However, PDC started to rant about the inconsistency of the team.
- One of the best performances of the season, away against one of the top sides.
- The difference today was that we took the chances that we created and didnt give anything away
- Going to watch Villa game tonight. Has already studied Villa.

I think it's Bostock he is unhappy with. Not Troy. He asked him about both players, didn't want to mention the name of one of then who was negative. Then talked about Troy. Could be wrong, but expect Bostock back on the bench or out the squad Tues.

[Berniman]

I expect him on the treatment table and in the stand

[Dostoyevsky]

Day's like this and listening to the passion he showed in that interview remind us how unbelievably lucky we are to have Paolo at the helm. Long may it continue

That makes more sense. He's hard to follow in his post match interviews!

[Berniman]

Storey is a Wolves fan.....  Boooooo

[Flashheart]

'The player who put us in trouble' is wide open to interpretation

I still think we should have Paolo doing interviews by multiple choice.

Miller:
- Lots of teams in this division are inconsistent
- Villa game in the back of players minds
- Lately we have been poor.
- Good result today and good performance
- Thought Storey and Bostock were brilliant today
- Good save from penalty. Tried to keep the ball down but the keeper was big and stretched to it. Will let one of the younger lads have a go next time

Storey:
- Really pleased
- Shocked to score a header as its not a strong part of his game 'I aint the best in the air'
- Unlucky not to get another one
- Bostock encouraged him not to be scared to have a shot
- Brilliant team with brilliant subs who dont always get one
- Last month has been frustrating. Hope that we can kick on from here
- Didnt play his best game and knows there are things he needs to do to improve
- Want to listen to the manager and learn and improve
- Its been a great day. Fans were brilliant today as always. They were treated to a great game
- Storey is a Wolves fan
- Possible to get a result against Villa
- Great to be in and around the team.
- Will celebrate by sitting on the settee tonight and then a recovery session tomorrow
