[Flashheart]

Munch munch.

Deserved a point out of that, turnbull knows he fucked up for the pen, put his hands up at the end. How the fuck Gladwin stayed on I do no know, bloody terrible today, lost the ball so many times. Rodgers did nothing wrong imo.

On to Port Vale, excellent support today from the 900+ that were there, great effort.

Sums up many of our fans.
Those teams are near the top for a reason, the same reason we arent

[herthab]

We've shown enough over Ling's tenure to suggest that we'll end up mid table come May, maybe even sneaking into the playoffs. Compared to where we looked like ending up before our 4 game winning run, I'm happy with that.

Did i imagine it, in the pre match interview Ling said Burton will be fresh because thier game was postponed on Boxing day but i will not use that as an excuse if we don"t get a result.
In the post match interview he said that Burton were a lot fresher because they did not have to play two games within 48 hrs.

Did he say we lost because Burton were fresher?

Wouldn't have thought they would have been too tired after Saturdays pathetic performance.
Giving a penalty away in both games isn't too clever either.
Lets hope we end up with less loanees after the transfer window.
Having Wes Thomas sitting on his arse at a club this size is unforgiveable.

not exactly herthab, but not far off:

They are going to have their purple patch and I think you have got to put down the fact that we have played on Boxing Day against the fact that they haven’t. There is always going to be more in their legs.

“To come here is a difficult task at the best of times but to come here off the back of playing that game Boxing Day and them not playing makes it a real big task.

“We were in the game all the way through and players can do two games in three games but if both sets of players do it, it’s a bit fairer.”

[A Gent Orange]

Two games in a couple of days makes a huge difference to results.

Swindon are not really a club of above average size imo.

To be fair not being at the game I can't really comment

If only everyone on here had the same philosophy.

clearly bollocks, unless you really think only 909 people are entitled to an opinion

I assumed he meant that as a small club having someone like Thomas sitting in the stands is unforgivable.

certainly agree with that, but can see hands are tied.

My point exactly.
Wes Thomas should have been playing.
