Ralphy
Glad you found your wallet, also fair play for not smoking despite

Marie
Sat next to Ralphy smoking!! also scared my mate away from going to walsall because she said she was going to deck him. He is really really scared

Asher
This time maybe he will remember that he actually met me, nice car! Surprised its still alright after a stop in Tranmere

Sonic
Face made for radio :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Sorry

Whits
Good driving as usual, hope you can walk today!

The Players
Tom Heaton - 9 - England Number 1, England England Number 1. Another set of awesome saves, shame at the end of the day they didnt count for anything

Andy Gurney - 6 - Didnt seem to want to bomb forward as much as he did against Yeovil

Patrick Collins - 7 - Thought he looked much more assured at Centre Back

Jerel Ifil - 7 - Didnt manage to get his customary 'dodgy tackle' or 'mistake' should be given more license to go foward when we are behind. When he starts running for a split second he looks like Thierry Herny

Jack Smith - 6 - Went about his job well, without being amazing

Ricky Shakes - 5 - Kept running off the pitch, every time Gurney played it to him he didnt get it. Didnt get a single cross in the whole game

Stefani Miglioranzi - 6 - Nice to see him back on the pitch and getting a full 90 in. Despite missing alot of pre-season and the start of the season he still looked one of the fittest players on the pitch. Didnt do anything to stand out, but nice to see him back

Michael Pook - 6 - Worked hard as usual, didnt get much luck. Didnt need to go down when he got poked in the eye. He should have stood his ground ala Fallon Vs Yeovil

Gareth Whalley - 6 - Played alright, too many stray passes

Colin Heath - 7 - A much better game for Heath on the left wing, he looked dangerous and got past his man a few times, sadly he isnt left footed so his crosses were hit and miss. He over hits every right foot cross though

Rory Fallon - 6 - Worked his bollocks off and got fuck all support the whole game. More on that in a minute. Doesnt score when he wears his white boots, only his super green and black lotto ones!

Subs:

Roberts - Looked very dangerous and up for it
Cureton - Again, lacking confidence
Wells - Looked good and not phased at all. Got in more crosses in 5 minutes than Shakes has in his Swindon career

Andy King/Formation
Possibly cost us the game yesterday. 4-5-1 does not work for us and never will. Team who use it (Chelsea) can do so for a number of reasons. They will not concede and the wingers will support the lone striker. Shakes and Heath barely supported Rory and we arent a team that keeps clean sheets, we arent a team that can defend, we arent a team that can sneak a 1-0 win. Our best form of defence is offence. Teams cant score if the ball is down in our final 3rd. Everything we sent forward today came right back at us. It was clear at half time we needed to add another attacker, it was clear when they scored we needed another attacker to try and get back into the game, eventually (too late in my opinion) King throws on 2 more strikers and plays them on the wings. Finally with about 5 minutes to go he pushes Cureton (curtain!) and Roberts up and we looked dangerous. Roberts had a few half chances but it was too little too late as there were only minutes left on the clock. Andy King never makes proactive change, always a reactive one.

Performance
The performance was good, we didnt deserve to lose at all. We didnt deserve to win either 0-0 would have been a fair result. We were alright in defence and midfield but attack wasnt good enough, there wasnt enough support for Fallon. Tranmere had the better chances and many more of them. All we were lacking was some support for final and a decent final ball. Their keeper didnt have to make a save. It was a very good team performance against a strong side in Tranmere, we didnt get what we deserved however still room for improvement.

Tranmere Fans
Make Trashton Gate sound like a cauldron of noise. They scored and we started 'you only sing when you're winning' but they were winning but still not singing

Other Crap:
You lot are going to think im shot in the head when I say this, but today of all the people gone we missed David Duke yeah you heard me right, David Duke. He was treated unfairly because King was convinced he was a full back, which he wasnt as he isnt that strong defensivly HOWEVER David Duke would have made a very good winger at this level. Say what you like you fickle lot but he could cross a ball, from anywhere with either foot. If you take a look back over the last two season I expect David Duke has chipped in with alot of assists which no one gives him credit for. We got the ball out wide today, as we did against Blackpool but the final delivery was shockingly awful.

Speaking of crosses, you know who can cross a ball better than Beckham Nicky Summerbee, again Shakes couldnt even keep the ball on the pitch today, let alone cross it. Summerbee was clearly not match fit against Forest but surely everyone knows he can still do a decent job at this level, because well he did last season at Bradford. I bet Dean Windarse was loving the service from the right last season and I expect Summerbee chipped in with double figure assists. Bradford didnt release him because he wasnt good enough, his contract was terminated by mutal consent. He can still do a job, one we need because our strikers just arent getting the service.

Captain
Is it right that the captain of our team doesnt even play for us, he's contracted to Swansea, here on loan and captain?! saying that he probably has played more times for Swindon than the rest of our squad put together

Tony Thorpe
Not even on the bench, we have enough strikers might be worth getting rid so we can get in some others players *cough* Nicky Summerbee *cough*

Christian Roberts
Has to start against Wasall, upfront with Fallon....

DV85 Needs a shave  :wink:

I found that so hard not to smoke though, cheers.

.....and hair cut to, according to some guy working in the service station....he was sitting at some table, playing music with a microphone and said 'get a hair cut you pikey'

I've never been so insulted in my life, I earn enough money to own him and keep him as a pet :twisted:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Seriously??

Your hair isn't that long.

Ask Sonic, he thought it was rather funny!

I am shocked :shock:

it was fucking brilliant, we stopped at Frankley services on the way back and some bloke doing some charity work told Danny to get a haircut. Probably the highlight of my day  :D

didn't occur to me that Marie was sat there smoking away next to Ralphy when he's trying to give up, harsh!

Test of willpower  :agree:

Which bit shocks you Reeves?

by what, I said alot of things...?

Maybe your haircut or beard?

I hope so  8)

Did you notice how much i fucking ate and drank though yesterday?!  :soapy tit wank:

1 Pie, 1 Burger, 2 Campri Sun, 1 Pint of lager, 2 Pints of Coke, 1 Orange Juice, 1 bag of Crisps in Pub, 1 bag at services on way home with a bottle of cherry coke  :soapy tit wank:

I ate a sandwich and a hot dog yesterday and drank a bottle of water, yet I'm the fat bastard  :cry:

I have an active job sonic and i run 5 miles three or four times a week  :)

You can come jogging with me?  :wink:

I sit at home and do fuck all, you can run twice as far and pretend I'm with you.

Ok i'll scream WIIIIIIDDDDE too  :soapy tit wank:

i hope you don't earn more than me, you lazy scamp... :wink:

Mostly the hair, but now we're on the subject you could do with a lighter odour!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Is anyone going to read the comments about game, or just my damn hair.... :evil:

I did read them and thought they were very valid.

Get a haircut

I read it but seeing as I spent most of the journey home talking to you about it, I couldn't be arsed to reply  :D

Which is fair enough, you've already heard my Duke is actually ace rant  8)
