Swindon Town V Northampton Town official matchday thread

Daggers top of the National League as well!

To allow everyone to get home in time for the delights of England v Malta.

Really....at least unlike last time when we lost 3 players, this time 2 of them are out long term injured, and most seem to think Yaser should be left out anyway.

The irony of last night is that we had as many shots on target in about 10 seconds as they did in 90 mins.

The difference sums up why we lost.

They put 3 of their 4 shots on target into the net.
And the sequence where we had four shots in those 10 seconds, for every one of them one of their players threw himself in front of the ball to stop it going in.

As much as he is dull as ditchwater to listen to Williams is right, the commitment that Northampton showed in either box put us to shame, the bits in between (which doesn't matter as much) we were much better.

I know which I'd prefer, and which will help us win some games

Looking at the Shrews forum....Saturday should be a classic, they reckon if they lose Mellon goes, I reckon if we lose Williams goes. 

They're losing fans as the football is "boring"  They suffer from disciplinary problems and expect red cards. The difference to us, is they don't concede pens but rather get them and then miss, 6 of the last 7 including Tuesday, which could have seen a win v 10 man Posh.

The presence of Adam El-Abd should spice it up on the potential card battle.

They've got a pretty bad home record, we've got a pretty bad away record...

It's an STFC crapoff

I was thinking about the last time we played Bolton at the CG.....and decided it may have been as far back as the 99 game.

On checking it proved so....we were terrible that day 4-0 down by half time, and clearly on our way to Div 3, no doubt. Interestingly Bolton had Eidur Gudjohnson playing for them....possibly the only Barca treble winning player to grace the CG, but less there to watch than Tuesday.

I doubt a repeat, we're not that bad, and they're probably not that good.

I've a fairly healthy dislike for them following on from the LC semi final second leg defeat in 1995.
A piss taking stadium announcer as we were waiting to leave the ground, coupled with obnoxious git John McGinlay.
Hopefully a case of what goes around comes around on the 8th.

And don't forget the 7-0 a few years after that...
