Title: Am I happy with a point after todays game?
Post by: Sippo on Saturday, March 11, 2006, 20:21:00
I'm unsure. The game was in our hands. Yeovil were poor and we didn't capatilise on it at all. Curo should definately of scored from Shakes 'cross' which i believe was a shot.

Nicho and Smith were poor today getting dragged out of position a lot but in fairness they're not wing backs. Whalley bossed the centre, gurney should've had more bottle to put his head down and drill it. Curo never stopped running.

Crowd was rubbish. No singing no atmosphere. Disappointing considering we had a very good turnout.

Pub was miles away and took me an hour to get out the ground!  :evil:

Should've turned right out of the car park, we were out in 40 minutes. :|

Still can't belive Cureton didn't score, and why don't our midfield shoot? :x Whalley was by far the best player out there, with him in the team playing like that in the last two or three games I think we would be in a far more pleasing position in the league. Outstanding.

I'm intrigued as to how the pre-match red and white strips looked, anybody find me some photos?

Hopefully the whole pre-match thing looked good.

I am not HAPPY with the point but I have no complaints about drawing. We bossed the game and were unlucky. 99/100 time Curo would have scored

Personally I'm happier with 1 point rather than 0. However, if we are serious about trying to stay up then 3 points was the order of the day.

I'm happy with a point, we just don't win away from home.

We need Platt and Smith back soon to have any chance of staying up. Whalley is better than Migs.

Its looking good for us going into this saturdays game. Beast is back, CCP and P.smith should be available too. Some extra confidence after the good performance and result we got....who knows what could happen. I really really hope this is the turn around point for us now.

Looking at yeovils ground yesterday it got me thinking.If we got relegated ,this is what we would be seeing most weeks made me think. We don't deserve that , we deserve better. The fans deserve better too, been outstanding all season. We are definately not a shit football team, We've been down the bottom of the league for ,well all the season really and I have still witnessed some excellent football.
We have some really decent players that work their arses off such as curo, peacock and beast to name a few. I still think we have a good chance of staying up this season. Iffy still has belief and I'm sure the players do and will move ahead now and start getting stuck in and getting those points.
Call me stupid for thinking this or whatever. I don't care  :D

im not confident at all! if you look at the table we are 3 points adrift but EVERY team above us has a game in hand. at least one of them is bound to win. a point was not good enough yesterday its as simple as that! we have to win all our home games as i cant see us beating Col U or City or Swansea on our travels

Well said Tails!
Last I heard, Iffy said he should be back training this week

Ifil is out though. But who knows? Swindon against a better team often provides a shock. We will have to see. Winning all of our home games would keep us up though so we just have to hope they can keep up those kind of performances

:oops:  For some reason I counted the tuesday game and then yesterdays and then thought we had another home game in which he did'nt play in before tuesdays game. I'm getting old. It does not help with the fact that I've always struggled with simple maths :D

I see the mini bus idea of sitting around for half an hour drinking more beer actually served a useful purpose for us as well.  To be honest the whole journey from the final whistle to getting home is a bit of a blur.

Waiting on some photos for the red and white stripes and the streamers.  Think we got tipped off a little too early on the players coming out and some of them were down by the time they came out, still, you live and you learn.

50/50 with the point won question.

Good to stop the losing streak and a point away from home is good, but we deserved to win.

I was sat in the Bartlett stand (courtesy of my Uncle who lives near Yeovil and got the tickets) and the  stripes before hand looked good I thought.

Excellent turn out from Swindon as well, the Yeovil fans said they were surprised how many we brought.

Whalley had an excellent game, Yeovil fans round me were saying they couldn't believe they couldn't beat Swindon, but we were much better than them apart from the first few minutes of each half.

And yes, the car park afterwards was hopeless, still back to my Uncle's by 5.50 though so not too bad.

how do you know?


The extent of the injury, from Iffy has said I've had a similiar injury. I was told to not play football for 6-8 weeks. Obviously though it doesnt matter if I sit on my arse and do nothing for 6-8 weeks because I'm not a pro. He will need to get fit and match sharpe again

Injured middle of Feb, Fit again start/middle of April few weeks to get match fit.

He may play again this season, and I could be totally wrong but I dont expect to see much more of him this term tbh.

The first 15 minutes or so were a bit worring but we were all over them in the second half,we should have won  :cry:
I did enjoy it though,which surprised me as all week i'd been dreading it,plus considering the amount of shit we've been dished up over the last month i thounght the turn out was great.Well done to the Loud and Proud lads too,must have cost em a fortune buying all that wall paper :)
Oh and i met Yeovil[although he wouldn't know it]and i saw Mex.Fantastic :D

Funded by our mini bus excursion were the streamers, and the Ultras Swindon guys got the big lengths of red and white paper, with a few quid chipped in from the mini bus gang.

Actually not that costly, relatively speaking.  I thought it went much better than I expect it to.
