Brentford -v- Swindon Town Official Matchday thread

[Batch]

Is Jack Smith still playing centre half for Millwall?

Certainly still in the team, whether that is as a centre back or full back I don't know.

[pumbaa]

Well that was a pleasant surprise! Although I'd predicted 3-1 to Town, not in million years did I expect us to actually win, or score 3. But we did. Just spoiled by some Brentford cunt scoring a second......

Still, great result, well happy with that, and I bet those who went had a great day. Lucky sods.....

Revell's second goal was fucking ace.

[reeves4england]

Way too early to start thinking like that...incidentally only 3 teams in the div have conceded more on the road than us.

Yes, but I think we can put the Gilligham game down as a total fluke, and if you forget those 5 goals it all looks very different.

I just got back from Brentford. It was a great game to watch - goals at both ends, lots of hard work in the midfield, and some good football at times. I nearly had a heart attack in the last 10 minutes but thankfully we held on!

I wouldn't say anybody had a bad game today really, despite conceding twice. Macca had a bit of fun taking on the defenders, and set up our 2nd very nicely. I was also glad to see Revell and Hutch both get on the score sheet, even if we had wasted a chance or two prior to going 1-0 up.

The game was also great off the pitch. About 1200 of us there, and we sang for the fully 90 minutes. And it was great fun mocking the guys who got chucked out of the home end, as well as seeing their keeper get wound up when he couldn't take his goal kick - he actually booted a ball straight into the away end - I'm pretty sure a Reading player got into a lot of trouble for that a few years back.

On the whole, 3 away points is always a great result. Brentford had chances to score more but for all the opportunities they had, Lucas didn't have to make too many difficult saves, most were straight at him. How nice it is to be reflecting on a game where we were the side with the clinical finishing!

That was a great game. LOVED IT.

I'm unsure as to what my favourite moment of the day was though - Whether it was revells second or watching fred mentally scar an 11 year old kid on the train

or watching fred mentally scar an 11 year old kid on the train

Explain.

[Bogus Dave]

I think he was trying to explain why Franchise were wrong. I'm not sure, but the kid looked a bit nervous and his mum looked embarresed.

[Weasel]

i'm on the train. In Reading. What a great day. Iwant subway. Ad less beer

So when people are giving there match reports after the game could they please say where they were sitting because today was akin to being in the town end and i havent got a fucking clue if anyone played well, all I know is we scored more than them. If in future you begin your match report with well from what i saw in the town end, I will know not to believe a fucking word you say.

Today was ace, great atmposphere, loved it when we nicked the ball, was really winding there players and fans up. Ace.

Brilliant second goal I think, revell took the third one well, I think.

3 points. lush.

[Bogus Dave]

I was behind the goal, as were most people i think

[Ardiles]

I cannot begin to describe how much I ####ing love Swindon.  What a day.  STFC has a new Scottish fan.  Perfect day.  And we won.

I'll leave the incisive match comment to others.  Happy day.  If only all away days could be like this one.

[Ardiles]

PS  Yes...the Fullers ESB has yet to wear off.

I was sat high up in the main stand and had a very good view of all of the goals,with four
of them being scored at the covered home end.

First goal was really well worked down the right,with good interplay between Amankwaah and
JPM.This was complimented by Revell's run and movement accross the box,where he ran onto
the ball and despatched it with real aplomb into the roof of the net.You could see how much it
meant to him,in opening his account for us.

Second goal,came about from our midfield and strikers pressing their midfield and back four,
resulting in Macca playing a good through ball for Hutchinson to run onto,with him slipping it
under the keeper.Hutchinson then ran the lenghth of the field to celebrate with the Town fans.

Second half we started very slowly inviting Brentford pressure.They hit the woodwork twice
and with a mixture of good defending and bad finishing we held onto our lead, until we stood
off Cort and let him score with a low shot from outside the box.

Revell scored his second and our third when we played a diagonal ball accross the box,Revell
worked the defender and fired a cracker into the top far corner.Great celebrations infront of
the Town fans!

We then let Brentford back into the game when Douglas got in Lucas's way, resulting in them
scoring their second.

I'd like to give a word of mention to Douglas and Ferry, who were immense with their covering
and workrate.Unfortunately,we've picked up knocks to our front players and they may struggle
to be fit for next tuesday and even next saturday.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaaah! Win!

Great day, great game, great win.

Shame about the idiots at Reading station and I hope Si and Rich get home ok. The "train manager" is a cunt.
