What's that celebration all about? Anything in particular?

It was onside. Just.

The Bradford comms were up in arms, claiming that he should have got a yellow card for putting the ball in the net while he must have known it was off-side.

Opposition comms are usually reasonably balanced, not the Bradford lot it seems.

Imagine being up in arms over something so trivial.

The way they were banging on you'd have thought he was deliberately time-wasting.

My favorite deliberate time-wasting ploy is the one where the player walking off slowly when being substituted is told by the Ref to hurry it up and the player then does that silly 'pretending to be jogging but actually now moving slower than walking pace' thing.   Cheesy

Never understood why they dont tell the player to leave at the side of the pitch he is closer to

My favourite bit of time wasting is when you bring on Moses Ashikodi and take him off again.

Young Tom Smith in the L1 Team of the Week

Fair play to him, but that's weird. 40mins at left back without really doing anything in particular other than defending well...

Their LB was a class apart by all accounts.

Their left back was the excellent going forward but not at defending. Their no 4 was the class player on the pitch.

This is the thinking

The performance by Tom Smith in the one nil victory over Bradford City at the weekend at the County Ground was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the other most impressive performers in the Football League pyramid.


I think we'll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Smith was selected as part of the team but explaining the choice - the FL blurb read.

'The in-form Bradford City often look to Mark Marshall to provide their attacking threat, but the winger was kept quiet by an unlikely source against Swindon. Teenage midfielder Tom Smith was forced to fill in as left-back in the second half, and the Robins youngster excelled as his side earned a 1-0 win.'

He is also incredibly aggressive and full of running for a little ginger fucker. Just what we need. Worth giving a run in the side if he can stay fit.

I was surprised how little they freed Marshall up. First half they were trying to get him 1v1 by switching flanks from their left but we were trying to do the opposite with our right and getting the ball out to Delf and BOO so the game got bogged down.

Second half they were trying to get their left back out instead and using Marshall as part of that strong side.
