Swindon V Crewe Matchday Thread.

[chalkies_shorts]

At least your record in VIP is now 0-1-14.

i think OTJ was the stand out dire player for us today. he seemed determined to undo any ball retention timlin tried to do

[Mexicano Rojo]

im chuffed with that.

[Rich Pullen]

This is going right to the wire - Eek.

[Spud]

Peterborough in that Away end is going to be one hell of a day.

I thought Phil Smith had a good game today, most importantly he actually passed the ball to one of his team mates on occasion rather than just booting it to the opposition or off the pitch - still room for improvement in his distribution but an improvement. He didn't drop anything and he even flapped at one ball correctly (pushing it away from danger which was a good call).

Overall we were shit. Don't know why they have to keep lumping the ball forward, they actually look dangerous and that they know what they are doing when they pass it up the pitch.

Didn't think we were shit at all.

Crewe came for a point and in the 2nd half basically had a ten man defence.

We weren't clever enough to break them down, but we weren't shit.

Thought Greer was very good, as was P.Smith and Timlin.

[Simon Pieman]

Our creativity was shit

[FlashGordon]

Funny how people see different games, OTJ has no footballing ability? I thought he had a decent game today, on the ball, with out the ball and just in general. Looks to play the ball, would hardly say he lumped it forward, Ifil lumps it forward. OTJ tries to put the ball in decent areas.

 Timlin is probably on free kicks because he isnt that bad at them, good goal against Yeovil earlier in the season similar position (opposite end) as todays free kick - perfect for a left footer.

A point, maybe a dissapointed point but 1 point closer. Fingers crossed now Northampton fuck up somewhere along the line

I thought Timlin was our man of the match closely followed by Vincent, saying that there wasn't many who could have contested the award.
I've seen worse sides than Crewe higher in the league this season, we needed three points, but a point was probably fair.
I've knocked Smith in goal all season, today I thought he was excellent apart from one cross, but handled the high ball better than Brez has all season.
Disappointing game, disappointing crowd reaction as well to the way we play, Wilson has us playing the ball across the back trying to make space, when we play that way we look a good unit, problem being there is no get out ball from the players out wide, especially McNamee who was poor today.
So we move on, Brighton is a huge game.

i'm glad i played golf in todays glorious weather instead.

I'd agree with that FG!  Timlin and OTJ are a good combination, but people don't see what they are doing because they are not impact players!  They had nobody to pass to today because the 4 outlets at best didn't have the best of games.  Macca, Kanu, Cox and Paynter did not make it easy for the two of them in there but if you sat and watched the movement of these 2 players and the way (in the 2nd half) they got the ball down and played it simply, they controlled the midfield without much help tbh.

There is more to a game than getting the ball and running at the goal or the goaline as our impact players do, and Timlin and OTJ broke the play up well today and were the start of the little that we created today!  When they are one of the few players that are actually trying to take some responsibility and impose themselves on the game they are going to make the odd mistake which is when the dickheads in the crowd start.  These dickheads seem to know fuck all about football.

Oh, and the TWAT in the DRS that shouted out at the top off his voice "Ifil why don't you just fuck off!" needs shooting!  We are in a dogfight and need our players with as much confidence as possible and shouting shit like that which he definately heard does no good whatsoever!  Here is a piece of advice, listen to yourself and why don't YOU just fuck off, your attendance is not required, go and support a premiership plastic team you cunt!

That's all!

[dell boy]

I think you must have sat pretty close to me Berni in the DRS I heard the same shouts?
Timlin was also getting plenty of stick as well, you can tell some of our fans have never played the game at a decent level, unlike yourself of couse I presume.

[Arriba]

swindon fans it talking complete bollocks shocker!!!!
come on fellas.we have loads of ill informed idiots who support stfc who shout loudly.i use the word support is the loosest possible terms

I sit front row on the halfway line Dell!  I couldn't believe it when he shouted it, and if he would have been closer to me I might have twatted him!  Really pissed me off!  Jerel was just in front of me at the time!

I understand that some people don't understand the game and that's fine if you want to eff and jeff to yourself, but to shout that shit out at the top of your voice takes the piss if you really are a fan of the club.  Some people just bemuse the shit out of me!

If we sit so close to each other we should meet up for a half time coffee at some point, god knows we probably deserve it after the shit we have given each other on here!
