i think we are going to have to win 10 in a row for other managers to give us a bit of credit, i think we really do frustrate them

some good pics here

What pisses me of are comments like  'If Swindon are top of the league then we've got a great chance this year'.

At the end of the day, we played away from home and had certain tactics to win the game.Bring Darlington to the County ground and we'd probably beat them, and dominate possesion as well.

They are just bitter, we are still only playing at 50-60% and so far we've been a cut above everyone else

If Darlington are one of the better sides, then this league really is fucking shit

ahaha just read that firs article....complete bollocks

Darlington deserved nothing....how were our goals their errors? a 25 yard free kick? and the other goal came from Monky turning their right back inside out.

I cant believe the 'if they are the best we have a chance' because Darlington were much much worse than us.

If they can finish 3rd then we can win every single game this season and not drop a point.

I've said it plenty of times, but if they are one of the better teams in the league then we wont have a problem

Lets be honest if we won 6-0 the Papers and opposition managers would still say "Swindon rode their luck on the way to an 6-0 victory!"  :-))(

Who cares what other people think?

The fact they have to resort to this shows bitterness and jealousy. Darlington were supposed to be our real test and we passed with flying colours. If this is one of the best teams League Two have to offer we'll have no problem.

Meeeeh!

Managers will come out with any old crap to justify their own positions :shrug:

It was a comfortable win for us.

FACT!

It's probably because we win without looking spectacular for the whole 90 minutes. We are solid, well organised, determined, strong, committed, etc, etc . We have the qualit when we need it though.

Other teams have a fair bit of possesion at times, but they can't do anything with it.

Winning is what counts though.

The introduction of record £100,000 signing Julian Joachim lifted the crowd for the last 25 minutes

If Swindon are top of the league then we've got a great chance this year


and we didn't defend well did we? defence is important and we have a good one at the minute something which they dont have

Joachim was always a threat

It looked like about 500. I thought the support was pretty good considering Hartlepool was only two weeks ago.

500 is a lot to take that far. Well done guys however many it was! It's a bloody long way, and as you say being just a week after Hartlepool its even better
