Swindon Town vs Crewe Alexandra - Official Match Day Thread

[FormerlyPlymRed]

13 goals at the CG in the last 2 games, both games behind by 2 goals and end up winning. We have to do it the hard way

biting boring Swindon!

[hobnob]

It's what we do, put everyone through the ringer😬😬

[suttonred]

Don't mention ringers, mines still twitching

[Costanza]

It's safe to say that we won't get away with this every week.

Phew and YEY!

[Samdy Gray]

Urgh, do I not like the official Twitter's ever increasing use of the word "scenes" (as in "absolute scenes").

I am most pleased with the win though.

Crewe came out with nothing but defeat on their mind and we've given them an almost certain 3 points...so bloody annoying!

I'm gonna be negative more often, it works a treat!

Unbelievable. Whatever our failings our, we have two red hot strikers at the moment, and a bit of character. I'd be interested in people's reports of where the defence is going wrong - is it individual mistakes, or tactical?

My Mrs. had to remind me that I'm supposed to be drinking. I forgot. FFS Swindon

[4D]

Did we win? Yay.

Pure fucking pantomime!!  Three defensive errors against a team that looked bloody poor!  An og, a referee change - we had it all this afternoon, not forgetting a late, late winner.

As I said could be anything today....our kamikaze football is mental, but great fun. Been trying to recall another example of being 3-1 down and winning 4-3, yet to come up with one, I thought maybe a game at Millwall in 62, but we were only 3-2 down before winning 4-3.

The individual mistakes are a consequence of the tactics in my opinion. Centre backs should not be so involved with the ball, the pressure builds on them and Vigouroux while we have proper footballers like Kasim and Robert haplessly waiting for a kick. Appreciate what we are trying to do but it's all about playing in the right areas. Get the ball into midfield and go from there.

Anyway, the second half was magnificent and how we need to try and play for 90 minutes. Quick balls into feet, look for the man in space and build the pressure. When we attack like that I'm confident there's not a team in this division that could cope with it.

Shattered after that but well worth it.

A bit of both, Turnbull's weak header back to Vigs, losing possession from a free-kick on the half-way line and then not finding a man from our throw two-thirds of the way up the pitch - and then Turnbull slipped and lost his man as he chased back.  Full of character to come back like that!  But we should never have been in the position we found ourselves in - they were poor!

Williams sounds to me as though he's always on the verge of breaking down in tears.
