We were frustrating Saturday but nowhere near that "performance" at Doncaster though. That was horrid!

I'll hazard a guess, that we've never won our last 5 games in any season. Not even 68/69 or 85/86.

When Cooper announced we were out of the PO's and we picked up the points for safety, the players relax a bit and it helps.

Being able to win games, when under pressure, is the sort of thing which comes with experience, in some cases long experience, we don't have that atm.

For the Brentford game...we need to view it as a no lose situation, we're not going down, they'll be Championship next year, go out and enjoy it...

...and get some revenge for the PO game at their place last season.  I haven't forgotten their fans on the pitch at the final whistle!

....yeah I'm not sure what Cooper is trying to achieve here, he was much better with his "lets' have a good end to the season" line, "give some lads a chance" stuff.

Let's face it, whatever the hell Cooper says, some one is going to say he's wrong  ::)

As the manager I'm pretty sure he wants them to win every game.

I think that the job description does entail winning as many games as possible.

We're still two points off of absolute mathematical safety, Reg. It's not over yet.

Are you anticipating a points deduction?

From what have seen on twitter their fans think 3 points here is a formality for them

And they have finally sold out the Arkells
Tinpot fuckers

Can't blame them. They are a well organised side, very good on the ball. My only issue with Brentford is the play acting we've come accross when we've faced them. They've got the better of us too often recently, so we do owe them one, but we won't 'get them back'. They will be in the Championship next season, their backer is still bankrolling them to the high heavens and they've got a new stadium on the way. We'll be in League One, crowds dwindling as a section wait in anticipation for our manager to fail so they can all blast out the "I told you so's".

Brentford are a fucking nasty bunch of cunts led by Donaldson. Play acting, fouling, diving, cheating, whinging to the ref bunch of shitbags. Well organised, yes. very good on the ball, yes. Orient and Preston are this year's versions. I'd rather my players were real men rather than a bunch of cheats. For this I must congratulate Sheff Utd who played the game in the right spirit. I really hope we stuff Brentford...and yes, their players and fans were cunts last year on the pitch.

Totally agree about Sheffield Utd players. They were the least whingy team I've seen this season

Well, that to.

I despise Clayton Donaldson.

Brentford statement re tickets

http://www.brentfordfc.co.uk/news/article/swindon-tickets-12.04.14-1408604.aspx

Interesting line at the end where they talk about buying in advance as

Quote
The club will receive 5% of all tickets sold in advance


Wonder if all clubs pay the opposition to sell tickets in advance  :hmmm:
