Swindon Town v Torquay United Official Matchday Thread

[Panda Paws]

Pericard was awesome last night. Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking idiot. Also Ritchie looked real quality, the ball he put through to Ferry when he hit the post was magical.

If that's awesome, you're seriously easy to please. Better than Plymouth - yes. Awesome - no.

[jayohaitchenn]

You're a fucking idiot.

[mexico red]

parts of his play were good but his lack of movement around and in the box was fucking dreadful.

[lambourn red]

Did anyone else notice that our fixture didnt appear on the BBC mobile website last night?

It did, our game was on all alone on the second page

I think alot of us fans need to realise that he's a very different striker to what we are used to watching at the county ground but is equally as good as most strikers we've had but just with different qualities.

Spot on. 

He will always divide opinion and the debate will carry on every week regardless of the standard of his performance.

Don't know what people expected of Pericard, when you are the lone front man your not supposed to move round loads and get dragged to the wings your supposed to be the focal point for the team to aim for so just stay central and lay the ball off when its given to you. 

Also your not expected to chase down opposition keepers or defenders you conserve your energy as your on your own up front and use your movement and energy in the right moments so you don't end up shattered.

Overall Vince held the ball up excellently, scored 1 and set up another, in any sensible persons eyes thats a cracking contribution last night.

[Benzel]

Yeah but he didn't run from beyond the Stratton Bank to the other end of the pitch and over head kick it, whilst marking their strikers.

Oh yes he did, he just went the long way round via Greenbridge and Magic roundabouts.

[Benzel]

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

[mexico red]

i wasnt saying he was bad, his holdup play was good and the set up for the goal was lush, his movement in the box last night was woeful, he never attacked a single cross and it was driving me potty let alone what ritchie must have been thinking

[Reg Smeeton]

ithought we looked so much better with ball on the right, he was very effective, ritchie could be a cracking player for us

good news for reg - when we get relegated we walk league 2

I've always thought we're a bit too big for Div 4.....

Someone who would be good to bring in for Defensive cover is former Huddersfield, Blackpool and Scunthorpe Central Defender Andy Butler who played 7 times for Blackpool last year on loan from Hudds, is a free agent so maybe worth a shot

[THE FLASH]

It did, our game was on all alone on the second page

I thank you

[Power to people]

Swindon rejects or Southend in the next round at the CG would be a good draw
