Official swindon v Tranmere matchday thread

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Oh yes. We're top of the league BTW.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  Ace we won!  Simon Cox was superb today as was Paynter.

[STFC_Chris]

We looked decent, Nalis and Timlin were superb. Paynter's goal came from some early pressure and good build up play, Cox's from a ball over the top that the keeper maybe ought to have come off his line for but was rooted to the spot and didn't stand a chance.

I think that puts us third in the table, not that it really means anything at this stage.

very good performance, paynter had a good game. Teams won't get much for free if we pressurise the ball like we did today. Their keeper was a bit dodgy wasn't he

Anyone else hear on the radio they were expecting 10/11 thousand for the QPR game Tuesday?  I know the tickets are cheap but sounds a bit excessive to me!

[STFC_Chris]

Really?! I thought we only had two stands open on tuesday, could be a bit of a squeeze.

[Reg Smeeton]

Oh yes. We're top of the league BTW.

I think they may have exaggerated to be honest but you never know.  QPR will prob bring a few. And I thought there were only 2 stands open as well!

OS think we won 3-0 on the Malpas interview bit    

[JPC82]

did Casal start?  

great performance, to pick out a few, Smith, Timlin, McGovern, McNamee(1st Half) and the front 2 were superb

we did win 3-0 didn't we?

[Luci]

no 3-1

[swindonbob]

Just got home.

I thought we played very well and looked very comfortable. Very impressed with Nalis and Timlin, both played brilliant...Timlin got stuck in with every challenge and Nalis just plays the right ball every time.

Jack Smith looked good as well except for a very stray passes now and then, and both strikers also got stuck in.

First time I have seen Casal, and wasnt entirely convinced...but thats what i thought of Commingues as well so I except him to settle down.

Their keeper was awful - still cant understand why he didnt come out for cox's goal!

[Arriba]

a very comfortable win.
mcgovern my mom.he used the ball well and some lovely passes down the flanks.
paynter was impressive upfront and coxy too.i like nalis from that performance.he just patrols the middle of the park and keeps it simple.timlin did ok, and despite some ropey passes broke up play on numerous occasions.macnamee was in and out of it but their right back will be glad to be on the bus home now for sure.
good handling from brez and smith did nothing wrong at right back.
aljofree was his usual self and had a great and calm clearance off the line.
decent crowd,nice to see the don on the pitch,nice speeches from fitton,better pa system.

now the minus points.ifil is terrible with a football at his feet(nothing new though).the new left back looked dodgy to say the least.(2 poorly directed defensive headers for starters,plus poor touch and wayward passes. but wont judge yet)the obese steward has brought her sister along this season(why?)
 the robinettes proved my point from weeks ago.and that helium breathing mong who shouts "come on swindon" and "come on you reds" in the arkells was a couple or rows in front of me.

[Nemo]

Fat Robinette was the highlight of the game
