Hereford vs. Swindon Matchday Thread sponsored by flammableBen

An average game really, pretty typical of a shit home team hosting a midtable away team. We were alright and they were utter shite but we spurned numerous good opportunities and they scored the obligatory set piece goal. Cox had a quite game by his standards, Nalis looked good, as did Paynter. No one had a real shocker, we were just alright.

On a seperate note, good support for the most part but the knobheads who booed the Marshall substitution and sung "you don't know what you're doing" need to take a fucking reality check. Macnamee was clearly tiring and little more than ineffective as the second half progressed, Marshall looked really lively when he came on. They shouldn't play together away from home, we would get massacred.

And finally the referee was an absolute homer

McNamees only had one good game all season anyway....

[glos_robin]

did ok tonight when he was actually given the ball........he spent all game hugging the touch line but rarely got given the ball.

Bradley Hudson-Odoi scored a second half equaliser as Hereford secured a point at home to Swindon.
Swindon went ahead on the cusp of half time when Jeremy Ifil shot home via the underside of the bar from close range.
Hudson-Odo could have levelled for Hereford straight after the break, but shot wide when clean through.
But after Billy Paynter had gone close from 25 yards for Swindon, Hudson-Odo struck, reacting first after Kris Taylor's free-kick hit the post.



It appears we've signed a new player ...

Shocking.

Good player, but the more i see he's a homer, bit like Moss, barnes,anderson et all, nothing wrong with that, we just need to accomodate. Hopefully Marshall will compensate, now and again  if they click there will be fireworks, it will just take a bit of time for it to pay off.

I thought all in all it wasn't a bad performance considering its the 3rd away game in a single week with almost the same XI.

Ball was played on the ground far more (unless Aljofree got hold of it) and some nice passing at times.  Thought Nalis was good tonight, looked calm in the centre and made some great passes.  Also thought Macca had a good game.

Marshall - my god that boy is quick.  Id love to see more of him as really think he isnt far from contending for a start.

I dont think we should be too critical at this stage as we did well and showed great character to get a win vs the franchise, ok Aldershot was a bit dodgy but I think they'll be a team that do relatively well this season and the difference between L1 and L2 isn't huge.  Plus were never going to be as consistent as we'd like but thats why were league 1!  Tonight was much improved and improvements are still a step in the right direction.  We had numerous chances to win it and at the end of the day luck wasn't on our side.  Thats life.  Onwards to Leeds United next weekend and continue our unbeaten run.

I went along tonight....

Ground was odd looking and the facilities were laughable. And the terrace was strange...but great support and atmosphere,  and felt good to be part of that again, which i think only a terrace can do.

Average match....thought we did well first half, and first 10 minutes of second half. Then as soon we conceded (from a free kick that i didnt think should have been given), we collapsed a little bit. I'm not gonna batter Aljofree as he played ok tonight, i just wish he would take his time a bit. And we look good when we pass it along the floor rather than the hopeful knocks up front. Marshall looked very exiciting tonight, some great runs.

Other highlights....Nobby down the front. Ive never seen him before and ive been to a fair few away games but his general behaviour was quality. I have a video of him on my mobile now....

And when someone threw a napkin and it landed perfectly on some old blokes head, and just stayed there! I almost cried with laughter for some reason!

Shit journey back in the rain though, was pretty scary and also had some cunts trying to ram up my ass on the a419 on the way home.

ifil goal was an absolute peach of a goal. 2 in 2 he is on a roll.

If there was a praying emoticon i would add it!  You should bite the bullet and post that on this is!

I meant the bowing and scraping thing..genufluction??

You should see who got booked for Hereford! Muamba, Andrew Taylor and Cattermole. I think they've just copy pasted Brum vs Boro from last season.

[Spencer_White]

They didnt really pose our shaky defence any problems at all. We should have won that 2 or 3 nil but never mind.

[ibelieveinmrreeves]

Malpas made a good point that it makes a change to come back from an away game dissapointed at not winning. Ok, it was only Hereford, who mustered the sum total of one attempt on target, but in previous years we'd probably have gone away to a crap Hereford side and lost. Probably.

Cox looked a little off the boil. I'd have put my house on him scoring that chance in the first half. If I had a house. I actually thought Nalis was MoM too, some of his passes were sublime. I do wonder if its time to put Easton back in the middle at Timlin's expense though.

Hereford didn't play midweek and so had no disruption to their preparations for this game. After hard conditions on Tuesday night and more of the same last night then a draw for us is definitely a good result, even if it could have been better on the night.

Sometimes it is better to look at the bigger picture.
