Macclesfield v Swindon official match day thread

[Ardiles]

Be fair.  At 3.23pm, that was a fairly accurate state of affairs.

Always lovely to win like this, even if it is only in front off less than 2,000 in Macclesfield.

Ace. Don't care how it happened, the main thing is we wont have to read repetitive drivel on here for the next few hours..

6th best away record in the league, it really does all come down to our shit home form, just like last season.

[Berniman]

Will Evans just scored a 95th minute equaliser for Chesterfield..  Fair play

I take it Doughty was one of those chastised by Wellens - unless he’s off.

[RobertT]

What an absolute farce of a game.  We will not play a worse team in a league game in my lifetime again I doubt.  We were "better" second half but that could have been Macclesfield getting worse to be honest.

Iandolo was awful today, switches off so often.
Conroy turned our defence back into the one we started the season with at times.
Midfield was too slow in possession, pourous out of it.
Woolery can run but falls over the ball, runs into players and generally looks to have the composure of a kid in Catholic Priest Convention
Anderson is all over the shop, meaning we never seem to have much shape
Richards missed a sitter, scored a goal and did jack shit besides
House - not enough to judge, did well for the goal

Overall, you take those points and pray we get some more players in quickly.  The performance today was one that Flitcroft at his worse would have been proud of.

Mansfield lost their second game this season

Re: Doughty - I get the feeling that the "some players think they are better than they are" comment was aimed in that direction

[Nijholts Nuts]

I take it Doughty was one of those chastised by Wellens - unless he’s off.

I think he probably needed a rocket up the arse for being a stroppy fucker the last week or two.

I take it Doughty was one of those chastised by Wellens - unless he’s off.

He has been poor for weeks and has just seemed intent on arguing with team mates. I honestly don't think he's been putting the effort in either so not surprised he was dropped.

This. 100% this.

[4D]

This. 100% this.

Doesn't seemed to have stopped the negative drivel though  
If we had played superbly and lost that I would have been more upset

Wellens on the wireless

[BambooToTheFuture]

A win at Moss Rose!  Fucking "ave it".

Can we put to bed any talk of "Football League black hole" for the rest of this season at least now?

15pts from Silks who are on 21pts
15pts from Lincs who are on 51pts

Hell it's only 10pts to Bury in 3rd and only 7pts from 2 PO places. We should be getting behind this and formulating a charge on the play-offs. Couldn't give a fuck if we played crap today but neither did Macc. An abysmal record put to bed in Cheshire, so anything there has never been easy.

I'll take this and bring on the fucking Imps! Hopefully with Nelson 

[RobertT]

Nelson was sorely missed, even though I think he isn't quite as good as made out (gets a lot of slack for his effort, which is amazing to be fair), but he left a whole that Conroy did not fill.
