Swindon v Sunderland Matchday Thread

[Nomoreheroes]

Jonny Smith looks so good when he runs down the wing. But seems to cut inside far to much and run or pass into trouble.

I think it’s been quite a decent game. Our heads have never gone down. Some encouraging performances.

Tend to agree, we've looked a fair bit better than vs Wimbledon. Not much luck and a few horror moments but not an irredeemable performance by any means.

I do hope we properly go for it against Northampton.

Agreed, really frustrating but a result to be expected and some good signs for sure.

Donahue, Odimayo, Payne, Matt and Jonny Smith all look comfortable at this level.

We need to get back into the winning habit and the next few weeks will be massive in shaping the rest of the season but we should be ok

[Nemo]

Great ball from Matt Smith, looked like Hope was fouled after getting the shot away too?

I agree, we havent been awful we have been undone by one of the worst goals I have seen us concede in years and a penalty, if we were given the penalty for the foul on Payne at 1-0 it could easily have been a different outcome.

This is the 1st time we have suffered 3 consecutive league defeats since the last 3 games of April 2017 when we were relegated from L1.

[Peter Venkman]

FT 0-2

[Nomoreheroes]

Hallam Hope chance. That is the difference between L1 and L2 striker. It's also what we would want from a keeper

[Nemo]

Well, disappointing but not too disheartening. There's still a good side in this lot, just not much luck and a few individual moments of disaster there.

Big game on Tuesday.

[Riddick]

Donohue is looking good, naturally takes a few games having not played for so long.

Surprised we have Odimayo at RB rather than the two RB's we have. Circumstance of shape change i guess  and to keep more aerial competition defensively.

Stevens came as a midfielder i would like to see that tried in a game to allow us to play the 4-3-3.

Payne behind Pitman looked our best outlet. Paynes running and legs to cover for Pitman, but Pitman offering more of a presence up there. Nor sure Payne supporting Smith works the same way.

I would like to see something like.

Hunt Baudry Grounds Donohue
              Grant
      Stevens    M Smith
DJ                            J Smith
             T Smith

[Flashheart]

Decent in the second half.
Mistakes are costing us.
The ref's a cunt.

[DiV]

This crap run of form is destined to end when we least expected it right? Away at Oxford? Please...please...

Stevens prefered position is winger, he said so himself. And Odimayo is only at RB because Hunt is carrying a back injury (was suspected as a stress fracture) and Caddis is still unfit.

[Batch]

was better in the second half, but we didn't really create much.  Hope should have scored though.

Sunderland obviously are strong at the back. And it was fairly routine for them imo.

disappointed

Decent side Sunderland helped by a very biased ref.  Much better second half from Town
