Swindon Town v Forest Green Rovers

[sonic youth]

Oh and welcome to Sonic Yoot who is also at the game today.

thanks spuddy

we were pretty rubbish but at least both sides looked to play football in horrendous conditions. we were lucky late on, i think our fitness levels gave us the edge - they had no subs to bring on late.

fleetwood looked like an excellent player.

oh well, onwards and upwards etc etc etc

Any preferences as to who we get in the draw tomorrow?

Liverpool away would be my first choice, I'd like to go before they move ground. Or a London team away, QPR or Spurs perhaps. Failing that a lower league team at home, so we have a chance of progressing.

[Bogus Dave]

Anyone at home, preferabbly poxford or one of the "big four" TM

[Arriba]

arsenal away please

[sonic youth]

i'd forgotten we're in the third round. that's depressing

when was the last time we made the third round of the fa cup two seasons running? i'd like havant and waterloovile.

[blinkpip]

Bury away please.

Did anyone think Forest Green deserved to win today?

A lot of people did... But I really didn't.. They had 20 minutes when our midfield disappeared and they had the wind on their side and they played brilliantly... But apart from that their game plan was through balls to Fleetwood who was either offside or well marked.

The difference in attack and defence was noticeable IMO. Forest Green knocked it about well and you can see why they are doing well but if we'd stepped up a gear today we'd have slaughtered them.

Im probably in a minority with this opinion though..

[Arriba]

i did tails!

[sonic youth]

i did too. i was impressed with the way they approached the game, despite the conditionjs and early injuries they approached it with a desire to play proper football. fair play to them.

[Arriba]

we were diobolical imo.

[blinkpip]

I thought a draw was fair. The weather and pitch favoured Forest Green more.

I had about 20 Forest Green fans sat by me (south stand) shouting their gobs off when going 2-1 up, I had the Last laugh! cunts.

[sonic youth]

why did you sit in the away end pippy?

[blinkpip]

why did you sit in the away end pippy?

no  :shock:

South Stand = Kingswood.

[STFC_Chris]

I had quite a few around me in the Arkells as well, I'd imagine they didn't fancy facing the elements on the bank.

Was quite funny when they scored, the chap next to me couldn't decide whether he ought to keep quiet and respect the fact he's surrounded by town fans or go mental because his team were winning. In the end he sort of waved one fist in the air while hovering a foot or so off his seat. It's probably one of those occasions where 'you had to be there'. :|

[Bogus Dave]

i thought they played well, it was just their final ball that kept letting them down. they looked a decent enough side though
