Will Pooky have two good games on the trot? Will Hasney yet again fail to applaud the fans at the end of the game? Will Brez finally kick the ball in a straight line?

Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 10:20:55 To be honest as stupid as this will sound, im not fussed too much about the result!
Oldham are a good side, better than us... If the players show the same guts and determination they have the last two games then that for me will be enough to show we've turned the corner. Even if we dont win today, keep playing like that and the results will follow. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: axs on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 10:21:18 cheat.

Oldham are a good side, better than us... If the players show the same guts and determination they have the last two games then that for me will be enough to show we've turned the corner. Even if we dont win today, keep playing like that and the results will follow. i dont expect anything today, but that doesn't make it alright.we should be able to get results at home against anyone in this league,or at least make the cunts battle like fuck to get anything against us. a defeat will keep us in deep shit still.i really hope i'm wrong and we get a performancer out of the team today Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: PHIL!!!! on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 11:01:32 3 points today please! I quite liked that winning feeling 8)
I'd prefer to get pissed tonight in the manner of celebration, rather than 'drowning my sorrows!!!!' COOOOME OOOON YOOOOU REEEEEDS! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 11:22:51 I'm not sure what to expect today. Do we get what we got Tuesday or the crap we've had to endure. I've certainly got more hope than I did on Tuesday. Lets hope the Rock and the Cock put in similar performances.

Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 15:53:12 Our 1st clean sheet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: pumbaa on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 15:54:02 What, two wins at home in under a week? And a clean sheet as a bonus?
Never would have thought it could happen...... Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: BANGKOK RED on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 15:55:15 Get in.
6 points out of 6 and a clean sheet to boot. Sounded to me like a gritty game with some sexy football thrown in. And listen to that applause, when is the last time we heard that? Has MM turned the corner?? Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Crozzer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 15:57:05 Now up to 15. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Crozzer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 15:59:07 It is as if they said we've got to listen Byrne :doh:. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: pumbaa on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:02:26 Good result. Think we caught Oldham at the right time as they seem to have gone off the boil in the last couple of weeks. That's not to cast doubts on the performance mind. I'm happy. My curry and few beers later will feel much more satisfying now.....
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: STFC_Gazza on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:09:21 Malpas out ;) Time to go on thisis to wind them up!
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Berniman on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:30:43 Apart from the first 20 mins we looked totally in control today!
No bad performances from the squad, though I wish Brez would stop punching the ball! Timlin MOTM IMO, though the whole defence was quality today! Aljofree still got a monk on with the fans, no clapping at the end! Hughes, Taylor and Greegan are cunts! That performance has convinced me that the corner has been turned. Fair Play to Mr Malpas! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: STFC_Gazza on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:32:33 I've missed the last 2 home games as I am in Canada (come home tomorrow). Think I shall miss the next home game. clearly I am the reason we were losing at home!!! :)
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:39:12 Easy, easy, easy.
First 20 minutes we were under pressure, we defended well. We took the lead and then defended some more. We got a second then it was half time. Oldham offered no threat in the second half and we could have had more. Our players wanted it more than them today and I hope we can keep that level of performance and more importantly desire and work rate up for the rest of the season and the results will follow COME ON YOU REDS! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Luci on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:40:49 Bloody thrilled with that. V good performance.
I cant decide on MOM, between Peaks, Pook and Timlin today. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:44:47 Timlin MOM for me. Clean sheet and two defenders on the score sheet, also Aljofree's goal should have counted.
Still looked dodgy at the back but hopefully this will give them confidence Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:57:10 I heard some Oldham fan in the bogs at the Merlin saying he wanted 4 points from their last two games but after their last game would settle for 3. Now they've got 0.
Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasy! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:58:06 for me pook was the best player first half,timlin the second.
peacock was no way mom.infact apart from running around and the odd tackle was covered by the excellent pook quite a few times today. front two were superb. we scored at the right time as we could have been losing by then.scored against the run of play and it did us the world of good Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 16:59:13 Excellent team performance. Timmy gets my MOM but everyone had a reasonably good game. And what a cool finish by Morrison! Nice to enjoy a weekend :)
One slight word of caution, the back 4 still aren't as solid as they can be. But a clean sheet they are moving in the right direction. Enjoyed the game more than any other thus far this season. Excellent. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: STFC4LIFE on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:03:32 How did Taylor get on?
I didn't go? :D Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:04:11 will be interesting to see how we deal with going a goal down
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:05:43 i enjoyed that :)
good team performance, plenty of fight and grit and you could see us grow in confidence during the game. mcgovern was still crap. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:07:35 mcgovern was still crap. I thought the exact opposite. Put in hard graft to close down the opposition and did OK going forward too. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Luci on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:09:44 I thought JP worked very hard and played very well today!
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:10:48 Morrison was mint. He will easy play at a higher level one day.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Berniman on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:13:21 I agree about JP!
Sorry Sonic! :harhar: Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Dazzza on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:14:18 Strike me down with a wet tampon if it's been asked but what's up with Ifil? Is he injured or just not making the bench?
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:15:17 Morrison was mint. He will easy play at a higher level one day. until he scored he was very ropey i thought.he grew in confidence after that. he will go on to great things i'm sure. why didn't anyone attack his long throws? Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:16:16 i thought jpm did ok.when out wide its hard to be involved at times.i dont think he did anything bad at all.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:17:13 JPM wasn't as good as he was against Northampton but still put in a good shift.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:19:17 Strike me down with a wet tampon if it's been asked but what's up with Ifil? Is he injured or just not making the bench? AFAIK he's just not making the bench - official club scapegoat. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:19:57 JPM didnt see alot of the ball but put his shift in again.
Morrison took most of the first half to get used to Hughes, who is probably the best striker he has come up against. I think again, like Tuesday he looked slightly jaded. He looked better in the second half but I also think Oldham attacked less in the second half to.

Is he injured or just not making the bench? heard a rumour that he could be off to Plymouth on loan in January Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Luci on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:22:22 We played as a team today, really strongly felt that moreso than other games this season.
Thought the fans were much better today, good atmosphere! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:24:06 Enjoyed that, thought Aljofree did a good job, Timlin excellent - but unless he has the ball Macnamee is a luxury. He cannot close down or tackle, should keep out wide and we should try and find him more often. Oh, and Aljofree made a point of applauding all sides of the ground before kick-off.

Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Spud on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:26:53 JPM didnt see alot of the ball but put his shift in again. Morrison took most of the first half to get used to Hughes, who is probably the best striker he has come up against. I think again, like Tuesday he looked slightly jaded. He looked better in the second half but I also think Oldham attacked less in the second half to. My mate i was sat with said exactly the same about Morrison regarding his fatigue. Pook had another (SHOCK HORROR!) good game today aswell as Jack Smith. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:27:19 nope. got told at work. Well I guess that means it must be true then! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Bogus Dave on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:29:25 Enjoyed that, thought Aljofree did a good job, Timlin excellent - but unless he has the ball Macnamee is a luxury. He cannot close down or tackle, should keep out wide and we should try and find him more often. Huh, did you watch the game. Recently macca has been closing down and tracking back really well. Case in point when he chased taylor down the wing in the second half, preventing the cross from coming in at the expense of a corner. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Berniman on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:32:44 Great dancing in the corner at the end from Macca as well!
MJ eat your heart out! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:37:43 Hooray back-to-back wins. Hooray a clean sheet.
MALPAS OUT! :D Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: PHIL!!!! on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:38:07 Really enjoyed that game!
It's already been said, but we worked well as a unit and i felt each and every Swindon player played well. Either Peacock or Timlin MOTM for me, although Coxy was very good once again. Aljofree impressed me today. Oh, and the lino was a cock........ Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: normy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 17:42:45 Like on Tuesday, Pook made the difference again IMO. He did the simple dirty work protecting the defence just in front so effectively with Peacock that their only danger was long through balls. A revelation, can he keep it up?
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Crozzer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 18:06:15 Oldham OS Report :D and Fuming Manager ;D
Off-colour Athletic's indifferent form continues as an excellent start unravelled against Swindon at the County Ground. If Athletic dominated the second period at Bristol in midweek, they cranked it up another notch by absolutely blitzing the Robins in the first 20 minutes. A barrage of chances came and went as John Sheridan's side laid siege to the home goal, but a breakthrough wouldn't come and one of the most against-the-run-of-play goals you will ever see threw an industrial-sized spanner in the works. And so it goes on...... A furious John Sheridan launched a stinging verbal volley at his side following the 2-0 defeat at Swindon. Two first-half goals against the run of play condemned Latics to their second successive defeat following the reverse at Bristol Rovers. Sheridan cut a frustrated figure on the touchline as the visitors failed to make an impression in the second half against a determined Robins outfit. And the gaffer - who will be bringing his side in for extra training next week - didn't hold back post-match. "That was our worst performance of the season, and with the goals we gave away you'd think you were watching schoolboy football," he fumed. "I'm not happy at all today. We started well but gave ourselves an uphill battle. We looked poor today - no-one played well from one to eleven. "I'm not going to accept that level of performance, because we will be relegated if we keep playing like we did today. "I am not happy one bit and I have told the players that. They will be working long, long hours because I just won't have that level of performance." Sheridan believes he has weeded out players who he feels are in a comfort zone, and the Latics chief is prepared to make changes to combat the problem. Athletic host League leaders Scunthorpe at Boundary Park on Tuesday, and a number of fringe players could now find themselves involved. Sheridan stormed: "Some people in the team think they're going to be picked week in, week out. Well, that's going to change. "There are no automatic choices and people are waiting to play. This is a reality check because some people just weren't at the races today." He added: "I want to apologise to the fans who have travelled a very long way because I just will not accept that performance. "I am a very angry man at the moment." Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: red_army on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 18:11:39 My mate i was sat with said exactly the same about Morrison regarding his fatigue. Malpass said in his interview after the game that Morrison wasnt feeling well at half time but wanted to continue Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: dell boy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 18:44:49 The first goal was definitely against the run of play.
Imo we saw the game out professionally. Timlin, Pook again were superb. Aljofree, best game I've seen him play this season, especially the wasting time bit when he alleged a smack in the chops, liked the way Peacock got hold of Hughes by the neck in the resulting corner, have it my son. McNamee luxury I think not, always a threat and he did track back well. All in all a very good win against a very good side. I think I will go to Walsall on Tuesday, but first get pretty pissed tonight. Great stuff. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: leefer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 18:53:53 We are getting there,i was one of the few who wanted Morrison in the team...you gota play em to see how good they are,he still gets bullied abit,but thats experience,17 years old and a diamond i reckon.
Great to see a player get on with his work,play the reserve matches,no whining...come back and play for his team,well done Pook,my man of match,although Cox did well as always. Tough one next sat so a result on tuesday is a must. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 18:58:49 am i the only one who didn't think peacock was that good today?
everyone seems to be creaming their pants over the bloke on the forums tonight. pook dug him out quite a bit today.and his positional play was all over the place.i like the bloke but he wasn't all that today at all. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Bogus Dave on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:01:08 No, i too dont think he was at his best. Its not his technichal ability that we need though
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:01:23 Pook and Peacock joint MOM. They covered every blade of grass and won virtually evey second ball. Even when they couldn't get a good contact, they got some contact. The defence was still very shaky as a unit. Aljofree got in a couple of cracknig tac kles in the 1st half. Morrison grew as the game went on - loved it when he physically moved Hughes out of the way off the ball - and a really cool finishh for the goal. Agree abuot JPM - he did a lot of tracking back. Paynter yet again took some punishment but had a great game. in fact, they all played well.
I will enjoy my pint tonight and I'm just glad I'm supporting a "team" again not a collection of individuals. JPM and Aljofree - take note - fans will be on your side if you give 100% and both of you have in the last 2 games. If you have a crap one now, the fans will get behind you. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:01:54 i thought Peacock was solid, did what he had to without being outstanding, id settle for that performance from him every week
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:04:10 Peacock wasnt great in a technical sense but as usual covered every blade of grass, went in for every tackle and hassled their midfielders as soon as they got the ball.
Everything we've lacked when we've had Nalis playing. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: caveman on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:05:26 timlin was awesome, over the moon with his performance and attitude today
pook, peacock both deserve a mention lets hope for more of the same midweek Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: dell boy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:10:06 am i the only one who didn't think peacock was that good today? Peacock did a working shift today, wasn't superb at all but took control of those around him, Aljofree take note.everyone seems to be creaming their pants over the bloke on the forums tonight. pook dug him out quite a bit today.and his positional play was all over the place.i like the bloke but he wasn't all that today at all. Peacock is a leader and players around him responded to his instructions. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:15:28 Peacock did a working shift today, wasn't superb at all but took control of those around him, Aljofree take note. Peacock is a leader and players around him responded to his instructions. yeah i agree,but he was all over the place at times. he seems to get the praise today when imo pook was much better. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: dell boy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:17:10 yeah i agree,but he was all over the place at times. he seems to get the praise today when imo pook was much better. I believe for two seasons Arriba we have both been saying Pook is a decent player at this level and that a non-league player as many have taunted him in that time. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:18:21 They were both bloody good today though.
Perhaps Peacock does get noticed more, things like hugging all the players before and after, he's alot omore vocal in the middle of the park and he has bright white hair! Saying that, its not like Pook isnt getting praise. Its just a shame we didnt get time to take him off for Easton. After the last two games he deserves to go off to a Standing ovation, which lets be honest he's probably never expirenced before Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:21:32 amazingly pook is now the better footballer in centre mid.his use of the ball today was superb.he really has grown without even playing.
the lad impressed me greatly today and i'm proud he is a home grown player.he has had it tough, but fuck me he should be one of the first names on the team sheet next week. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:25:16 It was only the fact that he played x games alse season that triggered the automatic 12 month contract he's on now. If he carries on in this form, it will be very interesting to see what happens at the end of the season.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: leefer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:26:18 Agree Arriba..its like the tension has gone from his game...Nalis and co will have to work there balls off to get back in.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: dell boy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:29:46 Agree Arriba..its like the tension has gone from his game...Nalis and co will have to work there balls off to get back in. Nailis is a very creative player, but it just shows and the results speak the truth, put two hard workers in the middle like Pook and Peacock and we have actually played better football without him.It would be great to see and we will probably start the same XI against Walsall on Tuesday, well I hope we do. Malpas In Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: janaage on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:39:47 Over the moon at today's performance/result. Yeah Oldham had chances, but so did we, thought Coxy was a little unlucky with a couple of offside decisions in the first half, and when he hit the post, gutted for the bloke.
I love my w2b!!!!!! Life's good! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: michael on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:42:40 Obv janaage has had a drink.

Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:42:45 i don't think people should get carried away with pook. fair play to him for impressing and earning his place and he's done well on his comeback but he's still average and there's approaching 100 games that suggest similar.
long may it continue...sadly i doubt it will Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: leefer on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 19:43:27 He will make up for it tuesday Jan.

We won, out fought Oldham and, in the second half, outplayed them. Yeah there were a few mistakes, so what? 2-0 win and a clean sheet.

No bad performances from the squad, though I wish Brez would stop punching the ball! Timlin MOTM IMO, though the whole defence was quality today! Aljofree still got a monk on with the fans, no clapping at the end! Hughes, Taylor and Greegan are cunts! That performance has convinced me that the corner has been turned. Fair Play to Mr Malpas!

In some ways carrying on from Northampton and being a bit more solid at the back. 2 home wins straight was just what the doctor ordered and we really needed it. Great stuff. Moving Peacock back to CM is proving a masterstroke from MM and so is playing Pook. It's working and here's to 3 points on Tuesday.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:36:00 did anyone else think today's ref was a bit...odd?
not rubbish (although not good either) but made some really bizarre decisions Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: adje on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:37:48 Hello to Si Pie(A wise head on young shoulders) and Iffy's Onion Bhaji(a hairy head on young shoulders)-good to meet you blokes today!
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:37:58 Yeah SY. Can't remember the last time a ref was actually decent at the CG tbh.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:38:16 you dont foul Billy Paynter, he fouls you!
I swear the defenders use him as a ladder and he gets nothing, the minute he jumps its a foul against. I thought the linesman were both shocking though. I swear they played Hughes onside a few times when he was a yard off and both of them flagged Coxy offside when he was a good yard or 2 onside! As for the ref, he gave us a penalty - I did even see a handball to be honest. Want to re-watch it. Everyone else seemed certain! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: dell boy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:38:34 Yeah SY. Can't remember the last time a ref was actually decent at the CG tbh. I hope you are not saying today?Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: dell boy on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:39:19 It was a cert pen.
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:40:06 oldham were a very handy side.
handy, gettit? no? they handballed it quite a few times, including the penalty. the ref stopped play when a player got hit in the head with a football. the bizarre dropkick - not seen that since i played footy at school... Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: adje on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:40:15 did anyone else think today's ref was a bit...odd? not rubbish (although not good either) but made some really bizarre decisions Best one was to give us a goal-kick in the "Taylor" incident-that was a right laugh Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:42:41 The most bizare one was when Peacock came in with a great slide tackle in the second half no one batted an eye lid Oldham played on - free kick?!
Then there was the one Aljofree clearly played off an Oldham player and they some how got a goal kick. Then up the other end, Oldham corner comes in Lee Hughes meets it on the volley pretty much un marked, spoons it over....corner!?!?!?! Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 20:43:07 Hello to Si Pie(A wise head on young shoulders) and Iffy's Onion Bhaji(a hairy head on young shoulders)-good to meet you blokes today!

Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Berniman on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 21:16:36 Thought the referee had a weird game, saw things that nobody else saw and gave things blatantly the wrong way, but his wrong decisions didn't really affect the outcome of the game for once.
Definate peno! Huges seems to attack every ball with his arm in the air, so sooner or later he was gonna get one given against him! He serioulsy needs a slap and the abuse he got from the townend was deserved! Good to hear the townend back in good voice today! Still think the club should encourage filling that end with cheaper tickets as it definately makes a difference. Is anyone else merrily drunk tonight? More of the same please Maurice!

According to Phil King, Sheridan was up drinking with him unti 3am at the dolphin talking about old times. Did anyone else witness this meeting of minds? Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: fergz on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 21:23:50 To be fair the lino's were terrible, one of them let us off for disallowing that Oldham chance in the first half for offside, I was right in line and both players were onside. :D
Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: Dozno9 on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 22:26:20 What can be worrying is when the lino's are shit for one team but not the other, but fair play to them they were consistantly shit.
I liked the moment when their winger was just hanging onto Maccas shirt as he was going forward and the 12 year old lino didn't give a fucking thing, thats what the lower leagues are famous for. Oh, and I thought Pook was superb today. Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: juddie on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 22:44:25 thought we got it spot on today - credit where credit's due to Malpas. Tactically bang on, plus you could see all the lads were working for each other. At the final whistle fou players looked shattered and fell to their knees - that shows the lads give a shit and are working hard for each other and the manager - happy days.
Brez was more dominant, getting better by the week. Defence was superb. Timlin immense, smith did really well, hasney and Morrison worked really hard - well done chaps. Hasney looked a bit moody throughout the game, but he was a rock, played really well. Thought JP was quiet, Macca still not himself, but both worked hard. Pook was great, but Peacok for me was fucking awesome. We beat a good team today, happy fricking days Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: THE FLASH on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 22:56:50 better, better, better!
I would of taken Peacs off instead of Billy and put the paynter man in midfield and pushed Corr on up front. Overall very good and i am looking forward to Walsall.

I'm quite happy to shut my trap regarding Malpas as manager for the moment. Whatever he's been accused of, the players do now seem to be playing for him by the bucket load. I hope he enjoys his deserved bottle of wine this weekend ;)
Can't fault the effort levels anywhere on the pitch at the moment and Pook especially must have a shit eating grin all over his face tonight. Maybe he's matured as both a player and as a person since we last suffered having to watch him lumber all over the pitch like a fucking amateur? For me, he's now doing everything nice and simple and is playing well. Can't fault his effort and desire either. Fair play to him, he's a dead cert on the team sheet every week the way he's playing at the moment. He can't afford to get fucking cocky though. He's had a really lucky break which he's made the most of for a couple of games. Hopefully he'll realise that. If not, he'll end up at Supermarine or worse next season. It's a fucking fine line, Pooky. Now then! Hasney had an ace game today as well. Nice to see him playing well and full of confidence again. If only he can find it within himself to drop the surly fucking attitude he has towards our fans, he'd make a real name for himself and would be worthy of wearing the captains armband. Oh, and the silence observed for Brian Hillier today was awesome regardless of the diverse opinions on him. Pin, drop, and all that:-) Title: Re: Swindon V Oldham Matchday Thread Post by: axs on Saturday, October 25, 2008, 23:51:11 Two wins means nothing. Malpas better pull his finger out if he's going to avoid the chop.

She thought it would embarrass me some what!! Still well happy about the display and result, first 20 mins was a bit ropey but we settled well and looked worthy winners by the end. Has the tide turned? i hope so! But then again "it was only Oldham" ;-) |
