Swindon V Charlton Matchday Thread.

[DV]

There are many things you can say about Hutchinson but blaming him for the second goal?

He gave away a free kick, fucking hell must be the first player to ever do that. Lets not forget the free kick was closer to Charltons goal than ours!!

Charlton had alot to do from that free kick to make it towards are goals. 10 other players out there.

Also, disgrace because he had a go at the linesman? again, he isnt the first and wont be the last. Its a frustrating game when decisions go against you. I've shouted plenty of abuse at linesman plenty of times in shit unimportant games that dont mean anything to anyone!!!

If I had to take a guess I'd say the reasoning behind brining him on was Wilson wanted the option to go 4-3-3 and/or stick with a 4-4-2. None of Revell, Paynter or Austin can go wide right.

We got the goals, so there was no need to ever go 4-3-3 so Hutchinson stayed wide right.

The sub that baffled me more was bringing on Danny Ward for Charlie Austin. We were 2-1 to the good and Wilson would have known Charlton would have thrown everything forward for the last 10, hell they took of their right back to bring on a striker. At that point he should have bought on Timlin and stuck 5 in midfield. Hutchinson, JPM, Douglas, Timlin, O'Brien and just tried to block Charlton out of the game.

Instead he stuck with 4-4-2 on the assumption Charlton wouldnt come back into it.

Of course its all well and good in hindsight and had Wilson bought on Timlin and we'd still drawn 2-2 I suppose I'd be saying he should have stayed 4-4-2 and gone for a 3rd.

Does anybody know what Burton was actually sent off for? At the time I thought he got a second yellow for handball, because he quite clearly deliberately handballed it as he challenged Lucas. But the official site said it was for his challenge on Lucas, and Parkinson has come out and said it was an "innocuous incident"...

They had the goals and red cards on SSN. Looked like it was for handball, I didn't see a foul on Lucas.

Whilst we did piss away 2 points today, we're not doing it as much as we did last season. Plus we're going to be around the playoffs come the end of the year and the half way point in the season, so I don't think we can really complain. If we're in with a shout for the playoffs come the final month of the season it will be a result.

[THE FLASH]

Cold meat and cheese last night and now i have got the shits...so up early..

Enjoyed yesterday but when you let in a 94th minute goal to nine men you feel like you have lost, however, i would of taken a draw before the kick off for sure.

My day started badly having overslept and set off at 10 from the metropolis of Calne...this left me with a problem....do i go along the south bank or M25 and Swanley...it was going to be tight but it seemed i made the wrong decision as the M25 was at a standstill from the M23 onwards so i had to go up through Croyden etc etc....got to Charlton at 3:14 and bribed a nice steward to park in a disabled bay.

Missed kick off but saw it all.....

I will not mark players but will boil it all down to my view which is:

Hutchinson was a massive blunder for Wilson - for the season and for this match, although Charlton had 9, i felt we only had 10 when he came on....total fucking disaster of a player...I thought Macklin would of done better on the wing and pulled Charlton apart on both wings.

Anyway - hey ho - I feel alot better than i did last year - except the shits......roll on Yeovil and the giant piss up at Fulham...

NB - I drove to Chatham after the match to pick up my daughter for the holidays.....why then, did i beat the Coaches back to swindon??  Over took em at the Marlborough junction....

you made sense until you suggested bringing on timlin, he's dire

[Luci]

In my post I was referring to the manner in which he seemed to lose it. Of course it happens all the time and I'm not overly fussed about that but the way he laid into him was well over the top.

I dont want to see our players picking up silly bookings like that and all in all, the discipline in the team seems much improved than in previous years. I for one would like it to stay that way.

We definitely need some signings in January.

The 11 that started the game, with he exception of LJF, are more than capable of competing in League 1 but our bench is woefully short on quality.

Hutchinson is a lazy cunt and clearly has no desire to play for us, whether he is here for a few more games or not, he should never be picked again.

We need a leftback and a forward as a minium.

Enjoyed the game, their equaliser was gutting, but overall it was a good game with lots of incidents.

Didn't enjoy the fuckwit policewoman, the cunt of a steward who said I could go out of the ground at halftime to move the minibus but I couldn't come back in and the wanker driver of the Barnes coach I parked in front of at halftime. A professional driver who can't reverse? made me miss the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half.

If you arrived at that time you would've misssed more than just kick off.

[Simon Pieman]

At least we got something out of the game, when we were 1-0 down I wasn't sure we would. Little consolation for the fans though, a win would have still been flattering (not that I'd particularly care).

Yesterday was the first time I've really bemoaned Wilson's tactical changes and they contributed to the result. However, like all the goals we've conceded recently, the whole team stands off the opposition. We really need to sort it because we're no longer tough to play against I'm afraid.

[adje]

As Luci said-it must be contractual for Hutchinson to have come on.Surely Macklin would have been the obvious replacement if we needed a replacement at all-Ferry and Douglas were running the show and JP was a constant threat on the right.I got the feeling that Austin asked to come off as a result of a tackle (which should have been a free kick)on the edge of their box.As IOB said we were the better team 11 v 11.The only change that was necessary was JFL who had a shocker-but that should have been done as soon as they went down to 9 in my opinion.Cant agree with the"would have settled for that before the game"sentiment-that goes out the window when you're playing against 9 men for the best part of an hour.Douglas,once again,MOM for me and OB a close second-if only he'd been on longer.

I got the feeling that Austin asked to come off as a result of a tackle

That's what Vic said on the radio. Wilson says he should be fine for tomorrow

Charlie came off but he will be fine for Monday. He got stood on so it's only a little injury but nothing that will keep him out for Monday.

Saw the goals on TV. Burton was sent for a deliberate handball which is a second yellow so neither red were undeserved.

Looked like Amankwha was asleep for the equaliser, regardless of what Hutchinson did.

Bad result given Charlton were down to 10 as early as 18 minutes. So close to a good one though. Bring on the yeovil.

I guess you were sticking to 70 on the motorway 

[ibelieveinmrreeves]

I flicked through the Mail on Sunday just now (I don't know why, sunday boredom?) and read their write up on our game. All fairly bog-standard, except they reported that Sam Sodje was sent off after a lunge on Anthony MacNamee.

Quality journalism.

thats your fault for buying the Mail

I was on the coaches, First reason was because 2 kids fucked off for half hour 40 minutes after the game and didn't tell anyone so we couldnt go until they were on the coaches. The OB wanted us to fuck off but we couldn't. Second reason we drove through Lewisham, Hammersmith etc instead of heading out to the M25 and around and traffic was stopped most of the way.


Did anyone else see the riot van turn on the blues and twos and try to turn around over the central reservation only to get stuck trying to get to an "incident"

I feel I have to defend myself here, for I did not buy it. My parents did. Shamefully.
