The non-premature (much) Official Match Day Thread vs Oldham

[Summerof69]

Special mention to Taylor, their number 18.

He spat his dummy out so far that it hit me in the eye.

Now that was funny.

He was a big diver, who got Jack Smith booked for nothing, and then tried to get a couple of pens despite just diving in the box. The TE gave him so much stick, we was virtually crying by the end of the game...

We've got Ant McNamee... He's fucking quality.

Same tune as we want our Swindon back. Just a suggestion, it rhymes so therefore is instantly better than the Barry Corr song we have.  

[Arnold.J.Rimmer]

I like it

he likes to take the pee....then cross it into lee

I think it was Hasney who was offside as he was standing on the post before he headed it to Coxy. Lino had is flag up before Coxy put it in. Just!

Quality win. Go on Big Mo!

I believe you are correct sir.

That wasn't too much different from most of our last performances, but today we took our chances. And i dont think the fact we kept a clean sheet with the return of vincenté was much of a coincidence. Very good performance, and more like that should see us build well for next season

[Bogus Dave]

Perhaps more importantly though:

Dave has pizza for dinner = Swindon win
Dave doesn't have pizza for dinner = Swindon don't win.

Every game my mums got me pizza for dinner on a saturday we've won o0o0o0o0

I did think that, but didnt Vincent play at Tranmere?

Secondly, our defence was helped by the awful Oldham attack. Their first choice pairing of Hughes and Davies are out injured.

Just got back-only saw the second half-bastard M4!they made me pay full whack to get in at 20 to 4!quality finishing from Cox but what a move for the third goal.McNamee is a class act and his blossoming surely owes something to the manager who has obviously worked hard on him since he arrived.Coming out at the end,I swear some people were disappointed that we won.Heard someone say "trouble is ,keeps Malpas in a job!"What can you do? I thought Timlin and Easton looked a useful combo in the middle of midfield and Jack Smith had another solid game(half!)Vincent looked a bit dodgy though.

McNamee has always been quality, just needed a few games to get his fitness, Malpas hasnt made McNamee the player he is, Watford did

[adje]

Didnt say he wasn't quality-just saying he's improved since he first arrived and that may be in some part down to the manager.But I know you are strongly anti-Malpas so I dont expect you to give him any credit-but,hey,that's your opinion

[JPC82]

i am anti Malpas for these reasons:

1. He took the job accepting the backroom staff here, he couldnt believe his luck getting this job, any manager with a ounce of success bring his own staff in because they have been sucessful together in the past, as we know Malpas has had no sucess.

2. He hasnt brought in any of his own players, McNamee and Kanyuka were Sturrocks targets, Cox was here under Sturrock already, as was Timlin and Malpas openly admitted as part as the McNamee deal Watford said we had to take Ashikodi as he needs games, when the fuck as any half decent manager took a player he didnt even want!!

3. Plays players out of positions too much, finally today McGovern goes back to the right, Easton in the middle a Right footed right back and a left footed left back, hey presto a balanced team and a win!

there is no escaping the fact we have a good bunch of players here, they played well under Sturrock but not under Malpas, that has to be down to how the manager wants them to play, he spouts this shit bout being unlucky all the time, 1 game being unlucky to lose i can accept, 2 games ok fair enought, but 1 win in 10 games was not good enough, even today first half was poor, second half was alot better tho

[Bogus Dave]

timlin was gash i thought

[adje]

2 decent second half performances out of 2-perhaps Malpas' team talks aren't so bad after all.
