Swindon Town v Coventry City Official Matchday Thread

[Nemo]

Came to ask the same thing, 35yards? Iron skull Branco

[hobnob]

Settle for that all things considered.

[Saxondale]

3.5 yards I think.

[sonicyouth]

We didn't play particularly well but remain undefeated at home in the league.

Our midfield struggled to get into the game and unsurprisingly we didn't dominate like we have been doing. Williams didn't look fit and we missed Smith's physical presence up front.

Lelan had a nightmare after their goal and completely fell apart but recovered in the end. Turnbull improving with every game.

Byrne has been our most consistent player this season and has improved on every aspect of his game. Smith looks great and then blows it all with a bad decision or poor cross - is this his first pro season?

Good performance after 120 minutes and a bit of a injury kerfuffle. Two week break will do us good.

Ref was a knob

[Batch]

Think Sonic pretty much covered it. Other than the mistake we limited Coventry to a single shot of significance from which Wes made a great save. So that's positive, though I agree Lelan did fall apart a bit.

We had a 20 minute spell in the second half where we looked dangerous, scored, and just after the goal it looked like we may nick it. But in truth large parts of the game both teams passed it nicely, but without creating much.

Still, satisfied with a point.

[kerry red]

Very flat and lacklustre first half - much improved in the second although there were a number of defensive howlers.

Felt sorry for Lelan as his confidence nosedived after his mistake.

Very quiet game from Yasser - which was a shame as his parents were sat in front of me in the Arkells.

All in all happy with a point, all things considered

[Paolo69]

I thought Mass was superb today, in a similar way that Yaser was on Tuesday evening. We like to keep the ball. It's a joy to watch at times and frustrating at others. I'm not unhappy with a point but maybe we could have got more.

[FormerlyPlymRed]

We would have won that if we didn't muck up at the back. We played it so bloody risky at times that Coventry almost nicked it off us a few times. Lelan had a shocker second half, felt sorry for the lad as his confidence was shot after their goal. Shouting at him won't make him better.

Byrne was brilliant once again, tore their left side to shit on many occasions.  Luongo was also good in the second half.

I thought the ref was a bit biased towards us tbh, some of our players when in a spot of bother would just go down and hope for a free kick which duly followed. Saying that, if he thought they were all free kicks then he had to yellow card for persistent. Shit all round from him.

Wow, I though he was hopeless in the first half. Better in the second.

[kerry red]

Piss poor attendance again.

Worrying

Piss poor attendance again.

Agreed, maths was never my strong point but was it 7200ish with 1500 from Cov?

[ronnie21]

7200 but 800 from Coventry!

[suttonred]

7299 and 831 from coventry

[Paolo69]

Wow, I though he was hopeless in the first half. Better in the second.

Shows how we all watch different games at times I suppose Batch. I certainly can't see  how Sonic thinks Brad Smith was great at times either but maybe I just had a bad day at the office.

[Batch]

Thanks, I didn't think that through what with the Arkells corner not being full!

So 6400ish home fans, pretty poor still
