Brighton V Swindon town Official matchday thread

[Batch]

Hey Reg, looks like Rochdale will escape The Rochdale Division. That's not right is it?

[Ralphy]

Oxford are away to Stevenage soon too

[ronnie21]

Only downside for me is the score was just 1-0, got to blame Phil Smith for that, how the fuck did he miss that hat-trick!

[mexico red]

well well well, two wins at withdean on the trot. Sat down the front first half so could see fuck all, second half sat at the back so could see a little better, was a solid performance, never really looked in that much trouble, marshall played a blinder possible mom, good finish by austin.

Fuck i love beating brighton

[jayohaitchenn]

I didn't listen to the game, just read the thread now. I hope all those who knocked Mark Morrison Marshall are thoroughly ashamed of themselves

[Spencer_White]

Return of the Mac.

Get in there Town.

YOU LIED TO ME

[Simon Pieman]

So I'm back up in the game
Running things to keep my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show

[mexico red]

Darby looks like he is going to fit in nicely, he was up against lua lua who looked the part, greer made a cracking goaline clearence in the first half but should have scored with a header in the second half. They had the better of the first half we upped our game in the second.

Marshall used the ball very well, really frustrated brighton. Could someone tell me what all the injuries were as i havent a clue and what happened to paynter?

[Spencer_White]

What was Pericard like before he came off?

Did he look interested? Did he lay any balls off/hold it up?

[Simon Pieman]

Paynter has that hamstring problem,  I've been telling everyone about all season.

[mexico red]

Hard to judge pericard because he was down the other end of the pitch so wouldnt like to say, sorry.

[Batch]

Paynter = hamstring
Pericard = Hamstring
Lucas = Hamstring.

No word on whether they are serious or minor a this stage.

Big big result today, at half time it looked like we would drop to 7th with Huddersfield leading Norwich and with injuries today would have taken a point. Big turnaround in the 2nd half of today's game and surely Norwich have sealed auto promotion as now 12 points clear with 10 to play and 7 clear on Leeds. Leeds are maintaining the gap to 3rd and play Millwall at home a week Monday which could put them further clear.

The teams 3rd to 6th have bunched up again and we've put a 5 point gap between ourselves and Huddersfield, normal service resumed by Rovers strikers today and Franchise chucking one in injurytime after going 3-2 up moments before. Anything at Southampton is a bonus for us as they've won 7 at home on the bounce but how long do those type of runs last, 6-7 games is the usual and reckon we are due a shock away win somewhere.

Hopefully today's results get's the momentum going for us again if we can cope with the injuries but sounds like a few have stepped up today with a Phil Smith clean sheet, Marshall playing well apparently and Easty doing a job.

Bring on tuesday

It's happened before albeit many years ago....we know what it's like to be stuck in the same league. We did a 43 year stint in Div 3....minus  ill considered intervention
