Swindon Town V Walsall Official Matchday Thread

[stfcinbmth]

Don't think anyone expected to be in the position we are in at the start of the season, so a big up to all the players and management. If it's play offs then so be it, it's a bit of a bonus, but then it could be auto, still three games to go, exciting ain't it?

if we dont go up this season it will be a massive fuck up.
i dont give a shit about all this "we're lucky to have a club,we should be mid table" bollocks.
we have had a fucking golden chance of promotion,if we blow it then its our fault.
so many opportunities have not been taken.
time to show if they have the bollocks or not to get out of this division.

To be fair chaps i cant see much bollocks in this post...theres five sentences and all are correct.
The fact is arribba words it differently than the other 8000 there today.
I agree with all five sentences to be honest.....the first line being a little hard.

I can also see what Arriba is getting at to be fair.

No. I don't care what enyone says, there is no way this season can be described as a fuck up if we don't go up. That's just a stupid statement which could apply to every club which just misses out on promotion. I'm not arguing about it though. I'm off out for a beer

[Luci]

I can also see what Arriba is getting at to be fair.

As can I, however the only point I disagree with is the first line due to us achieving far more this season than I ever expected.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Yes. It's the first statement I have a problem with. Not the rest.  Any way. Off out now

[DV]

'Missed opportunity' would have been a better phrase than 'fuck up' in my opinion...

"if we dont go up this season it will be a massive fuck up"

1) Start of the season - you look at the teams in this league - Norwich, Leeds, Charlton, Southampton, Millwall, Huddersfield. Its the strongest League One, possible ever. Most people, myself included, thought it would a mid-table season, with perhaps an outside chance of pushing for 6th place and sneaking in. We have been there pretty much all fucking season. Thats already exceeded all pre-season expectations regardless of what happens now.

2) Ignoring that, your "so many opportunitys have not been taken" - yeah we havn't had great results in the last couple of weeks. But I guess you have forgotten about the opportunities that we have taken, e.g. 2 wins against Leeds, 2 wins against Southampton etc.

3) Then your "we have had a fucking golden chance of promotion,if we blow it then its our fault" comments. Surely that applys even more to Leeds, Millwall and Charlton - due to the fact they are all in the same postion, with even more expectation, stronger sqauds, bigger budgets etc?

If we dont go up this season, it WON'T be a massive fuck up. It will be because a better team than us has got 2nd spot, and a better team than us have won the playoffs.

Opportunity missed rather than two points dropped today. We looked tired, devoid of ideas, hesitant and devoid of the football we had been playing. 1-1 was probably a fair result.

Its so frustrating. It must be the pressure getting to us. Its not unique, looks like Leeds, Millwall and possibly Charlton are suffering too.

On the plus side we are a point closer to Millwall and Leeds. On the downside we need Leeds to lose another to be in with a shout. And that is assuming we can win if they do.

Chances for promotion to the championship don't come by too often. We need to sort out our stagefright before the playoffs.

[BANGKOK RED]

'missed opportunities"

What about unexpected points, such as most of last month?

[Batch]

What about them. We weren't really lucky to get them as such, we played well. I don't see your point?

[Arriba]

i think if your gonna tell someone they are taliking bollocks, it should be backed up with some reason.
whether people agree with me or not, you can bet i'll back up my opinions every time.


none of us expected us to be up there this season.but and its a big fucking but,we have had a great chance of going up, and i stand by what i said above, it will be a fuck up if we blow it.
it's only down to the others around us fucking up that we're still up there.
if the others aint been losing, i think people would be more harsh on what we've been doing.
2 points from the last 3 games is a poor return.even 4 points from that 9 would have us right there.
i'm not writing us off as it's still on,but we are making a fucking hard job of it now.

Yeah I think that's worded wrong.

[DV]

Unexpected points wouldnt describe at chance at automatic promotion (or lack of)

We didn't get automatic, we fucked up (makes sense in context)

We didn't get automatic, missed opportuinty.

We didn't get automatic, unexpected points
