Title: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 00:53:09 2-0 win.
Back on form in time for Sunday! Happy Days. COYR Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Boy About Town on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 00:56:05 2-2 Draw is my bet!
:mrgreen: Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 05:41:58 Nervous about this one. I'm gonna say 2-1 to the Town.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: hobnob on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 06:36:53 Looks like they are on form but they have played isides at the right time lately, this is the fortress tonight so I think we will do them 3-1 after PDC makes the right changes in selection.
COYR Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Freddies Ferret on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 06:40:15 Will it be a decent crowd? Will billy start? Will it be Rooney or Holmes? So many questions
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Dozno9 on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 06:57:46 This will be tough as ox shit tonight but we will win 3-1.
Holmes will start I reckon with Benson and Billy up top, 9,879 crowd. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: brocklesby red on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 07:10:46 If we play like we did on Saturday we'll lose but i think there will be a good response tonight and a battling 2-1 win
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 07:14:42 Draw = Absolutely fine
Win = Fantastic Defeat = It all starts to get a little bit nervous I wonder how Torquay will approach the game? A draw would hardly be a disaster for them either. Whatever happens, I predict a hell of a hard game. 1-0 Benson 67 Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 07:18:05 Massive game tonight.....
Cmon let's fucking do it! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: nochee on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 07:22:15 1-0 for me. Benson to score in the second half towards the Town End 8767 in attendance
Title: Re: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Frigby Daser on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 07:59:15 Wouldn't mind seeing a 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 with Rooney or Connell just off Benson. I know 4-4-2 has served us brilliantly this year but I fear we'll be overrun as we were v Cheltenham if they have the extra man (...and yes, I've been reading the Washbag).
Rooney was sublime for Gills playing centrally. Otherwise, time to restore Alan Mac to centre back. 2-1 win, but I would take a draw if offered it now. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:00:11 0-2 defeat, meltdown, a win at Wembley, a tonking of Rovers and promotion as champions.
The Beginning. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:03:51 A nervey, nervey game.
1-1 Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:25:44 Mansell will score and our title prospects will hit the skids.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:27:10 Mansell will score and our title prospects will hit the skids. Maybe his boot will explode while flat out on the back straight. Oh wait, maybe that's a different Mansell. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Crispy on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:35:21 Draw = Absolutely fine Win = Fantastic Defeat = It all starts to get a little bit nervous I wonder how Torquay will approach the game? A draw would hardly be a disaster for them either. Whatever happens, I predict a hell of a hard game. 1-0 Benson 67 This, I think it's fair to say this is a huge game! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: slinky on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:39:35 I'm expecting a tough game tonight. Hopefully we can get off to a good start unlike recent performances where we have been slow out of the blocks. 1-0 Town COYR
Any news on Caddis? Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: herthab on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:43:24 This game is possibly as huge as the last game, maybe even on an equal level of hugeness to the next league game!
It's a must win, unless we lose in which case the next huge game will become a must win, with this one being relegated from huge to a wake up call. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: london_red on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 08:46:50 Gutted not to be going but been laid up with a dose of man flu since the weekend and want to make sure I'm fighting fit for a long day of drinking on Sunday.
Would gladly take a draw tonight. Expect to see those who are ineligble for Sunday (Rooney, Bodin, anyone else?) start. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:08:27 I think they will do us by the odd goal.
There seems to be a little too much focus on Sunday for my liking amongst the fans, hopefully Paolo and the boys are fully focused on tonight. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:14:57 2-1 defeat.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Benzel on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:15:01 I haven't given Sunday a thought. It's all about tonight.
Gotta try my best to not let the nerves get the better of me. Gotta get behind the team tonight! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:22:58 0-1.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:34:32 They've surprised me a little by staying with the pace, and it will be tight, I hope 1-0 to us but i think it will be 1-1, our run of succesive home wins has to end somewhere.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: MarkyTee on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:49:59 I reckon a hard contest awaits, but we will see it through 2-1. Torquay to take the lead.
Our scorers will be Rooney and Benson. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 09:57:57 Really looking forward to tonight. I've always had a soft spot for Torquay - always enjoyed my trips down there and its not often you get rival fans singing about us being dirty northern bastards. Its a big game but i can see us doing them tonight. Our form is still excellent - as is theirs - but I think we'll have a bit too much for them. Woould prefer to seel Alan Mac back in the middle with Flint wth Devera on the right. When Caddis is fit its back to the bench for Flint as Devera has been simply superb recently - with Macca alongside him.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: FormerlyPlymRed on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 10:41:40 Very tricky game, dont care how we win it as long as we do.
Scrappiest game ever and sneak a 2-1 and i'll be extremely happy! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 10:42:04 On our day we're the best team in the league. So we're going to win.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: mrverve on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 10:51:03 We'll win 3-1
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: WR5 on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:20:29 we are going to win 2-0
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Notts red on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:31:39 2-1 Win, Benson and Holmes with the goals. Tough game but we are hard to beat at home, need the Town End in good voice tonight.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: RWB Robin on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:36:40 Have only seen wins so far since having come home, and will be there tonight. I would expect 1-0, bu it would be brilliant if we were back with a bang....
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: dell returns on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:40:00 The best two sides in the division for clean sheets, so should be a 0-0, it will obviously be completely the opposite, so I'll go for a 4-3.

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: juddie on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:51:32 Nights like tonight are what it's all about. Massive game of huge importance to both teams, under the lights, good atmos. Fucking awesome.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Shaw Rosso on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 12:03:15 Comfortable 3-0 victory tonight. Early Paul Benson opener will settle the nerves, second half goals for Holmes and a 2nd for benson secure the 3 points sending the majority of a 10'344 crowd home happy that the Town are 7 points clear at the top, and once again, we will piss this league and our recently found humility will be out the window again.
Well, this is what my cat predicted anyway. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Gnasher on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 12:17:07 1-3 :cry: The crowd really need to get behind the players tonight.

Hate covering big games because I sometimes forget where I am! I've taken to standing up while I'm doing it because I'm too nervous to sit down. I almost pulled the mic out of the socket when we scored the second goal away at crawley.

Good luck to you mate, I hope you have a great game to commentate on.I was fingered (for want of a better word!) if I would like to be co-commentator at a Swindon game for the BBC and had to politely refuse due to the fact that I may not be able to keep my bad language inside my head. I won't be doing it any time soon, I am impressed that you can Juddy and I mildly envy you for being able to, its a trait I aspire to! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 12:45:23 Has 0-0 written all over it. Thats because you are looking at the fixtures and it hasnt kicked off yet! :DPS nice to see you posting again Tails, seems ages since you were here last. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: juddie on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 12:51:53 Ha, thanks chaps.
I don't think I could do Wembley. I'd literally be screaming/crying. Millwall would have been impossible. I do enjoy it. It's tough, totally depends what mood you're in. Also depends on the game. This year has been fun because regardless of what happens you can count on Paolo's touchline antics or results elsewhere to talk about. Doing boring games when there's nothing to play for is really hard, which has been the case in the past. You're conscious of trying to sound positive but you can't always polish a turd. Just shows how good Vic/Shaun and Chris really are. They're all consistent. I find it's a lot easier when we're winning... It's funny though, if you were to look in the commentary box when a goal is scored there's usually a fan next to Chris celebrating. Chris loves it too, loves a cheeky little clench of the fist when Swindon score. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: juddie on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 12:55:52 i'd recommend it JJ. You behave because you have to!
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 13:01:56 Somewhere in my head is remembering the last 20 years of supporting STFC and is whispering "the wheels have fallen off, 0-2 to Torquay..."
I hope not. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 13:09:59 This is a big game for a a number of reasons,yeah its for 3 points the same as any other league game but this one is a bit different.
We sit top of the league with Torquay in good form and wanting to topple us. We lost at the weekend and have a game at Wembley this weekend. Another loss could be a big negative to take us into the weekend. It would mean 2 defeats on the trot and the lads could take that poor form and nerves on the day and not perform at Wembley. A win would get us back on track and push us on into sunday. Think it will be a 1-1 draw personally which would be an ok result as long as the performance is a good one. Loss-draw-win i'd take that thank you ;) Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: juddie on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 13:12:10 I agree Arriba. Tonight's game is key because of what lies ahead. A win puts that cushion between the two sides and will give the lads confidence at the weekend. A draw with a good performance would also be ok. Worst-case scenario is a defeat tonight, defeat Sunday and then we're nervous for Rovers.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 13:12:44 Absolute must win game.

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 13:55:41 I don't think it's a must win game but it's certainlty a must not lose one. Only because of perception trumping reality. Lose tonight and the reality is we are a point clear with a game in hand and at least 5 points clear of 4th. Lose tonight and the perception is we are on a wobble, the confidence of going into the JPT on a winning run is gone and the next match is Rovers. Fact is, March is an incredibly tough month. One we had to take on largely without our captain. Not saying April will be easy mind. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: mrverve on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 14:17:27 I've never heard Juddie on the radio before, is he Alan Green esq? ;D

We have missed him more than we would miss anyone else on the pitch other than Fodders or Benson IMO.Hopefully he is fit and back sooner rather than later. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:49:38 And if Paolo is reading. Play Connell, dumbass! I wouldn't be surprised if Connell starts tonight, he only came on got the last 10 minutes away at Torquay and did cause them a few problems, but I do still think hes better as an impact player coming off the bench, but thats just my opinion. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:50:49 Town: Foderingham; McCormack, Devera, Risser, Cibocchi; Ritchie, Ferry, Smith, Holmes; Benson, Connell
Subs: Cox, Flint, Rooney, Tehoue, Murray Connell starts! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:51:21 @Official_STFC: Town: Foderingham; McCormack, Devera, Risser, Cibocchi; Ritchie, Ferry, Smith, Holmes; Benson, Connell
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:52:58 Town: Foderingham; McCormack, Devera, Risser, Cibocchi; Ritchie, Ferry, Smith, Holmes; Benson, Connell Subs: Cox, Flint, Rooney, Tehoue, Murray Connell starts! Looks a good side I just hope Devera plays at right back today. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:53:49 Sorry to be a doofus, but who is RB?
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:54:32 Looks a good side I just hope Devera plays at right back today. Ah, you have maybe answered my question already JJ!! :) Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:55:06 Sorry to be a doofus, but who is RB? Only 2 to choose from there, Devera or McCormack, looks like Risser will be centre back.Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: ronnie21 on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:55:19 Although he played at Crewe, take it that Flint is still not 100% fit.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:55:35 I don't think I'll every be able to second guess a PDC team selection. Flint not fully fit after all? Glad to see Connell start.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: bigbobjoylove on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:58:18 I don't think I'll every be able to second guess a PDC team selection. We must be a very hard team to plan for in this division for opposing managers. We have so many options and Paolo isnt afraid of chopping and changing. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 18:59:31 Is Bodin injured? Or just out of favour?
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:01:50 Is Bodin injured? Or just out of favour? Maybe Paolo thinks that Torquay will know exactly how he plays or something like that? Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:03:42 Maybe Paolo thinks that Torquay will know exactly how he plays or something like that? He wasn't in the squad for the last game either though Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:03:54 Maybe Paolo thinks that Torquay will know exactly how he plays or something like that? I haden't thought of it that way, I was thinking that Bodin would have had something to prove against his "old" side.Either way if hes not injured I am a little surprised hes not even on the bench. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:04:12 He wasn't in the squad for the last game either though Ah ok, wasn't aware of that. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:07:10 Shaun Hodgetts just announced the defence from right to left Devera, Risser, McCormack, Cibocchi.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:10:18 Evening all.
I have decided to stay up and listen to the game tonight even though I have to be up at 1 am to drive to Gatwick. We better win. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:12:35 Listening to Paolo's interview and all I can say is does this man not know the meaning of the word modest? :D
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:13:26 I fucking love the quote "don't follow the stupid!" if only he said that klast week that would have been a super quote for Flash's tee shirts!

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:26:49 I recon it is a central midfielder/left back/2nd striker.
I think its a left back. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 19:28:04 I'm guessing left back

Juddy beat him up Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: donkey on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:08:57 I know a lot of fans don't like him but its fucking great listening to Glenn Hoddle reminiscing about Wembley with Swindon. Whilst I gave him dogs abuse at the Chelsea game on New Years Day, time has mellowed my feelings to Hoddle. The football was unbelievable at times, and I'm always happy to hear him talking about us.

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Red Frog on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:33:54 That was postponed iirc Non we beat them again.

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:34:49 Decent first half by the sounds of it. Connell delivers again.

Agreed. Another goal would let me relax a bit but didn't sound like Foderingham's goal was threatened too much in the first half. Title: Re: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:35:50 First 10 were nervy but a good half. Best for ages.
Connell looking like he's trying to prove a point! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Crispy on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:36:59 Happy days, good half!
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Loobug on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:37:34 I have faith in PDC's selections but Connell must be increasingly hard for him to leave out based on performance on the pitch at least. Maybe it's because he gets left out that he delivers when he does?

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:39:59 Honestly though, if you went to go in the Arkells stand wearing a hat and scarf would the stewards know who you were and that you were banned?
Same with away games? Do all the stewards just have a massive picture board of every single banned fan just incase they show up?

Same with away games? Do all the stewards just have a massive picture board of every single banned fan just incase they show up? At home games theres not a chance I could get in - The majority of the stewards know me and know I'm banned.. Away games would depend if there are any Swindon police there, which you wouldn't know until you got there, not worth the risk. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:43:30 fair enough - I just think it would be fairly easy to blend into a crowd at football - maybe not, I dunno I've never needed to.

Same with away games? Do all the stewards just have a massive picture board of every single banned fan just incase they show up? Years ago, I was a steward for a while. On my first day they gave us a photo album of people that we were to watch because they were trouble. I was on page 7 ! And the rest of them didn't even click Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: red socks on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 20:54:24 Apparantly Blackburns kit man has tried to clear up any confusion surrounding the The Olsson twins, by putting their initials before their name.

Away games would depend if there are any Swindon police there, which you wouldn't know until you got there, not worth the risk. I went to watch the Town at Brighton a few years back. The Swindon copper who use to harrass me years ago (admitedly for good reason) was there and insisted on seeing my ticket. When I showed him he said he wouldn't let me have it back unless I told him where I was living now. I said I wasn't willing to, as I'd put all that behind me. So he kept the ticket and I went back to the train and home. So.........the point of the story is, they do send people to away games, and they have long memories, and can recognise you when you have aged considerably. So I wouldn't bother Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 21:00:47 Connell heads just wide, keeps coming very close!!

- Proved that they are v professional - Changed their mentality - If we carry on like this there is not another team that can beat them - Going to Wembley for a group of young lads is not easy - Pleased that they go to Wembley now with confidence - Dominated the second half - Changes from weekend all worked - Promotion is the main target still - In 10 years when he is managing Swindon in the Champions league, or after Swindon have kicked him out, PDC will remember the Wembley trip - Connell hasnt been in the last 2 games because he hadnt convinced him he should be in the team - Connell looked more angry in training, which was why he was picked - Risser is not an natural orchestrator in the middle of the field like Simon Ferry, but is more of a defensive central midfielder. Scored a great goal and defended very well afterwards - Doesn't know what team he will field at Wembley. Will check to see how players react tomorrow. Bets no one will be in the physios room in the morning! - Going to watch Chesterfield vs Hudders game to plan how to play - Possibility of a new player. Wouldn't say anything about him though.

I can indeed vouch for that, very nice fella. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:20:30 The defenition of "bullet header". Oooh, Shaun Taylor'esqe !! Regarding the game, as comfortable a home game as you can expect. That's 15 clean sheets in 19 home games this season, despite having to play centre mids at the back mostly this season. Sides are scared to come and attack us at the CG. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:20:54 Best performance for a few games.
Torquay actually started brighter and for 10 or 15 minutes were probably the better team. But we got back to doing what we did best, we adapted and got stronger and stronger the longer the game went on. Second half we totally dominated. The only surprise was that out two goals came from set pieces, it hides that we were dangerous from open play too. I think the first was an OG, but Connell was in the right area and I think put in his best all round performance in a Town shirt tonight. Risser's bullet header capped a fine performance from him, hence his MOM. I think the back 4 looked to have better balance with Devera at RB and McCormack back in the middle. Bring on Chesterfield. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Red Frog on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:21:02 Did OST and Lingy get a good welcome?
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Gnasher on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:21:28 Well done you lot. We lost to a better team tonight. :clap: I reckon you'll finish in top spot easily. I'll be very happy if we make it into third place behind Shrewsbury. That's just about achievable for us.. :thumb: I like Torquay (I just wish you didn't play in yellow). Hopefully we'll meet again in L1 next season. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:24:23 Great win, energetic performance, Connell classy and ran his socks off, Risser bullet header!
Will now enjoy the Wembley experience, comforted by the fact we're 7 points clear with a game in hand!

That's just about achievable for us.. :thumb: First 20 minutes you were the better side. Knocked the ball about really well. Hope you do make the top 3. Got a lot of respect for Ling and Taylor. Good luck. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:28:15 This Robins all over the world song is a bit shit.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: ronnie21 on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:28:57 Thoroughly enjoyed that game, though we were second best for the first fifteen minutes but once we got over the initial nerves and settled down we played well. Thought Torquay were a good side but we did end up outclassing them at the end. They seemed to make it a bit easier for us when they made their substitutions, they went to 4-4-2 but lumped the ball up instead of playing round us. Very pleased for Risser, but I'll bet we see remarks that he was the worst player on the field!!
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:29:41 This Robins all over the world song is a bit shit.

Apparently Leeds won 7-3 at the City Ground just now, surely there's no point even trying to give out other scores if half of them are wrong cos then you can't even trust the correct ones!
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: hobnob on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:32:42 Very pleased with the second half performance, almost back to our best. Risser was a rock today and Ferry played a blinder. Great to see Connell play well and for the full 90 minutes! What's happened to Bodin? Any news on Caddis? Sounded loud where I was in the TECrowd were quiet again (like a library :D) Wembley here we come! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:38:11 Great performance tonight. We looked a little shaky in the first 15 minutes or so and Torquay were knocking the ball around really well but we battled well tonight and once we got on the ball we caused them problems. We dominated the 2nd half and there was only going to be one winner when Risser netted that bullet header.
Smith, Connell, Ferry, Ritchie and Risser were all brilliant tonight. Devera did well at RB and Holmes looks decent on the left. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:40:13 Just saw the goals on yocal news. Asked the Mrs to confirm that it was on OG, she wasn't sure. Then I told her which one Connell is. FFS.
Anyway OG but who cares. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Gnasher on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:40:53 Sounded loud where I was in the TE TE started off well but faded badly.

I thought ankle but it looked like he iced his calf?
Also heard PDC's interview, yes I get he is the boss and the fact we are top is proof enough he got it right. Still reckon AC got a bit of a rough deal :) But I strongly agree the DeVita has been mightily unlucky with the way the signings have played out too. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Gnasher on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:44:22 Sounded good on the commentary as well. Must only sound quiet from SB end of the DRS then, either that or I'm becoming deaf in my old age. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Cibocchi_Is_God on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:44:53 Great performance tonight! Delighted to get the three points more than anything else and too see the team playing with freedom again. Thought the back four looked a lot more solid than sat, Risser was decent despite a few shaky moments. Definately helped to have Macca back in at CB. Thought Cibo, had cracking game until picking up a knock Hope he's fit for Wembley because he's a god! Thought Ferry was back to his best and Smith's energy benefited him. Delighted for Connell and hope he starts on sunday because he fully deserves it! Anywho, roll on wembley! Win, lose or draw we can be thoroughly proud of what the club has achieved so far this season.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: joteddyred on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:48:11 A bit of a nervy first 15/20 minutes, but once we settled, it was a good team performance and in the second half there was only one team in it. Delighted to see Connell start and he certainly made the most of the opportunity, worked his socks off front start to finish even being lefton for the full 90 mins. Ferry and Smith were superb in midfield tonight, Ferry ran the show and Smith broke up the play. Defence did well particularly since Devera and Risser weren't in their natural positions.
Torquay played some good football, but never really threatened the goal. You can see why they've won a lot of games 1-0. I expect them to still be thereabouts at the end of the season. The gap increases again and a Wembley Final awaits. Superb stuff. Roll on Sunday!! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:49:47 Defence looked a lot better for Devera at right back and McCormack in the middle, it must be said. Devera doesn't get forward like Caddis does (you could see Ritchie waiting for overlaps that weren't coming a few times) but he does the job defensively.
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:53:32 A great result and a great second half performance. There were a lot of good performances tonight but i'm glad Risser got MOM - a great headed clearnace in the 1st half and a pretty faultless second half. Tehoue did a couple of things very well and looked better than v Nam.
For probably the first time this season I'd like to say well done ref - hardly noticed him and he kept the game flowing and i can't remember any cards. I'm really looking forward to Wembley now that we've got this out of the way. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:54:45 and their number 10 would look good in a Town shirt - very tidy player
Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Arch Stanton on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 22:55:24 Great game, we looked back to our best in the second half - totally dominated. Connell worked his socks off and with a bit more luck he could've had 2 or 3 easily.
Risser was a defensive rock at the back, fitting that he should score a thumping header in front of the Town End with Shaun Taylor watching on. Holmes created merry hell down the left, quality all round. What made this a better performance was getting the right combinations together again - Connell - Benson and JSmithTM - Ferry. All we need is Caddis - Ritchie back together... I'm so stoked about Wembley now, we're going there with a full head of steam. Plus I missed the playoff final due to a mates wedding so this will be first visit to the new 'home of football' Bring it on! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 23:00:28 Can someone else please come on and say that we were shakey for 15-20 mins then dominated.

Quote Went tonight. Thought we made a good start, with lots of posession. Unfortunately, this didn't lead to any real chances and Swindon started to gain some confidence. Some quick attacks from them had us rattled, and from then on they were always in the ascendency. The goal came at the wrong time, a soft looking goal conceded from a corner. 2nd half saw much of the same, with them looking dangerous and us struggling to keep up. Their second goal killed it, and from then on it was a question of how much they would win by. Credit to us for keeping it respectable, but this was an easy 2-0 for them in the end. Don't really remember their keeper having a save to make all game, although Howe put a good shift in. Good atmosphere, with banter between the two sets of fans. Got the feeling that this was a game too far after two long trips on the road though. Swindon looked a typical lower league promotion side - nothing incredibly spectacular, but strong and assured all over the pitch. Let's hope we can get back on track against Port Vale at home on Saturday. We were still trying to stroke it around, and it's great to see how Ling has made his mark on the way the team play. £25 was a f*cking joke though. No half time cig, huge queue for a coffee and stuck in the corner. Hard to come away feeling good about Swindon after that http://torquayfansforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=matchday&action=display&thread=9320&page=3 And at least they haven't said it was an off day, and they're the best team in the league etc Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: deltaincline on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 23:08:16 Critical game tonight and we breezed it.
Just a couple of random thoughts; For all the neat passing and approach play, Torquay created very little in terms of threatening our goal. Decent side, but found wanting against us tonight. Ferry and Smith pulled the strings down the middle once they got going properly and Holmes was the major difference on the left, as he brought back some much needed balance. If he stays fit and keeps on delivering quality balls into the box, I can't see Rooney starting another match this season. Very solid at the back. Happy for JD and OR. Both have taken dogs abuse at times, but kept at it. Both look like starters at Wembley now, which is fucking brilliant for them - considering the dodgy start they made to the season. Tahoue looked good and well up for it when he came on as well. Massive 3 points tonight. Well done all:-) Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: leefer on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 23:23:01 Enjoyed tonight....great management by Paolo regarding Connell,he was gagging for it ;)

His reply - Outrageous quotes from other managers such as " the best footballing team in league two" and " self proclaimed champions" all I can say is watch this space !
Our captain is learning fast off Paolo. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 23:40:37 Enjoyed tonight!
Excellent! I thought Torquay came at us a bit full on rather than Crewe who hit us in waves. We stayed patient and I was confident we could get a flow going which proved to be the case. Sweet that Connell grabbed a goal but he could of had a hatrick. How fucking hard was that header that risser put away? Roll on Wembley.....I'm really excited now! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Notts red on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 23:44:20 I'm sure I saw quite a few people behind the goal in the Town End duck when Rissers header went in, what a screamer !

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: fatbasher on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 00:07:25 Fair assessment I think from Torquay http://torquayfansforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=matchday&action=display&thread=9320&page=3 And at least they haven't said it was an off day, and they're the best team in the league etc I think that considering the £17 each I forked out for the two adult tickets and I think £8 for my 7 y/o to go to their dump on boxing day they fucking well have the Ritz. At least you could see all the pitch without ducking and diving around the person in front and got a seat as well! Cheeky bastards. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: aroundthefur on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 00:20:44 - Thought Connell was MOM tonight. Some top link-up play and another important goal.
- Rooney has had some very good cameos for us and has plenty of potential, but based on Saturday and tonight, Holmes has a bit of extra class. Seems to always be able to create half a yard to get a cross in. - Both better balance at the back with the re-shuffle. McCormack gives us leadership and mobility at centre half. - Anyone else think Risser notably grew in confidence after scoring? - Ritchie is not as effective without Caddis. However, he did not deserve any of the moaning that I was hearing about him around me in the Town End. Considering his assists and goals this season, definitely one of the most unloved star performers that I can remember. - PDC's post match celebrations are now a team highlight of any victory. Loved the Town End's build up to them tonight! - I think Jonathan Smith is such an important player for us. Very mobile and can stop opposing midfields from settling. Thought he did a good job tonight. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: DiV on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 07:19:50 How did Connell managed to be credited with that goal.
The ball goes no where near him! Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Batch on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 07:25:39 Forgot to compliment our MacPhlea on the excellent tackle on Rooney in the second half. Technically it was the soggy bit of the pitch by the sprinkler, but I hold him responsible :)
How did Connell managed to be credited with that goal. The ball goes no where near him! By sticking his hands in the air the quickest! Risser looked the closest town player to me. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: RWB Robin on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 08:14:27 I thought, in terms of playing football, Torquay looked the best I have seen here in the 1st half. They kept the ball down, and their right flank looked as good as ours for much of the time, and, although they didn't get the shots in they should have done, it was definitely 'heart-in-the-mouth' time each time they made their way into striking positions. Once we increased the pressure towards the end of the 1st half, and for most of the 2nd half they were forced into hoofball; but even then, tye did look dangerous on the break. In my book they would well deserve an automatic promotion place.
But it was the best I have seen Town play. There are always errors in any game, but I thought they were few and far between last night - whatever Torqual got they got through their own hard work rather than from many mistakes on our part. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 09:19:40 Cheers mate, certainly looking good for us now. All the best for the rest of the season!

Indeed, if anyone could claim it then it was surely Risser, but I am pleased if it gived Connell some confidence then so be it.The ball goes no where near him!

Take last nights performance, both goals came from Ritchie corners, there were several dangerous crosses from him & he also had a few decent efforts on goal. Also, regarding the referee last night. I can't remember him doing anything really stupid, or getting any major decision wrong at all. To be honest it was a pretty clean game (don't recall any bookings) & you wonder how much of that was down to the referee having control. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Langers on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 16:36:05 Really enjoyed the game last night, the best i've seen us play in a while.
I thought Holmes was brilliant, every cross he put into the box was brilliant, he never wasted a ball. I would like to see us get the ball to him a bit more. Risser had one of his best games in a town shirt and deserved the MOM. Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: THE FLASH on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 17:59:39 Fair assessment I think from Torquay http://torquayfansforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=matchday&action=display&thread=9320&page=3 And at least they haven't said it was an off day, and they're the best team in the league etc £25 is a piss take.

Title: Re: Swindon Town Vs Torquay Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, March 22, 2012, 14:12:58 According to the os on their gallery it looks like it is Connell that heads it. Watched it for the 4th time and every time I watch it it looks like that after Connells small touch it hits the defender squarely on the shin and that Risser also looks like he could have touched it also.[url width=640 height=480]http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/javaImages/2b/2a/0,,10341~10627627,00.jpg[/url] Yes it does look as though Connell got the faintest of touches on it but not enough to send it goalwards the main touch comes off the defender who was under pressure from Risser. |
