Swindon v Tranmere Official Matchday Thread

another f*****g draw we are shite !!!!!!! and we are going down

sing along !!!!!!!!!!! wilson out !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ginginho]

Yeah, just under 7,000 tonight, not surprising really.
Didn't play too badly, were the better side but lacked any attacking ability.
Austin didn't look interested, missed a penalty, but did have a couple of good efforts in the 2nd half.
O'Brien looked good when he came on, getting stuck in and making good runs.
I reckon Wilson fired him up before he came on by whispering in his ear "I fucked your Mum you Irish cunt"

Timlin played well and Dossevi worked hard but we were lacking any real creativity.

[Nemo]

Missed the bloody bus by a minute.

I thought we played fairly well albeit with no real cutting edge. Lecs was excellent, aob bright when he came on but we really needed the three points today, a clean sheet is no longer enough. Another day, better luck and the pen goes in but the club needed a win tonight.

Oh, and I made myself the DRS throw in specialist.

[gibbo1012]

sooner austin goes the better, well thats if anyone still wants him he cant score penalties now

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

We were ok. Nothing special really. We were shocking first half but looked a little better 2nd and passed the ball around a bit. We had a few chances and if Austin had been bothered maybe we would have got the win. A clean sheet is good at last but lets not deny that Tranmere were pretty poor.

[woolster]

6,912 according to BBC site and you expect entertainment at the moment considering the position we're in?

didnt get anything, entertainment nor result, this we had to win, i believe we are going down

[Deano8123]

So the post match interview with DW will go like his:

Clean sheet, positive response from the defence.
Austin probably played his last game
We will sign 5 new players before saturday
I will book a flight to Dubai tomorrow and take a well deserved holiday

If he does come here there's aleast 30 odd town fans who would like a chat with him !! might have a word with the customs guys and make sure his stay is a little longer.!!! clearing the way for a new manager!!

[König]

i though timlin did well, enough to keep his place i think, also though lesc did well at lb, better than in previous times.    i though a'ob did well when he camew on, if we can keep playing the ball in behind the fullback he'll beat them to it everytime, just needs better delivery!

[gibbo1012]

perhaps we should put alan o brien up front he has got pace, playing football is getting us nowhere at the moment, lets play the old fashonied way of long ball hit and hope.

we might get a result

[flammableBen]

We defended very very well and had to

Had to compete with the physical side which we did well especially in the second half

difficult to recover from missing the penalty but we kept at it well

over all I think that the clean sheet is the biggest positive we've had

Phil's concentration levels to pull off last minute save top drawer. Bit of a surprise they had their shot

He had to make changes to be seen to be doing something and shake stuff up. He has a squad of players for a reason. Today the back four did very well. whoever thought they're in the team no matter what - they're not. It has to be the squad which turns this round.

Timlin had a fantastic game, gave the team a good balance. He's been a bit unlucky to be out the side but he's come back and made a statment.

One thing you ask for is hardwork and we got that today, maybe a bit more quality but a good shift.

Charlie steps up you expect it to hit the back of the net, but that's how things go sometimes. Not sure if it was a good save. Got around today. Took a chance and unfortunate to hit the bar.

and my radio just cut out. You'll have to sum up the rest of the interview yourselves.

[Summerof69]

Could've been better. How the ball stayed out when it hit their player from a yard out just before half time, I do not know.

Jennings should have been sent off for a two footed lunge on Frampton (it reminded me of when Sheehan was sent off earlier in the season) in the first half, and was then booed throughout the match. We didn't even get a free-kick !!

At least we kept our first clean sheet in the league since September.

[Gnasher]

Just back. Difficult to be too angry with the players as this was an improvement, but we really are shit at the moment. Tranmere were terrible and a better side would have taken them apart.

I thought Cuthbert and Doughlas were fucking useless in the first half but improved after the break. Big Kev looked rusty and Austin tried but it's just not going for him at the moment. O'Brien (Forrest Gump) had is best 15 minutes for us and I wouldn't mind him starting against Exeter.

The attendence sounded dodgy to me as there couldn't have been more than 5500 there.

[Nemo]

To add to the above, no strikers on the bench. Is Pericard off? Is Bodin injured? did they explain on the radio?

[flammableBen]

Think they mentioned that pericard is injured.

[nochee]

Blackpool getting close to the figure that is wanted for Charlie, according to Wilson.
