Swindon V Walsall Official Matchday Thread

Does that mean he was wearing a sarong? 

Not sure what my brother classes as David Beckham dress, will enquire tomorrow when I see him.

For a bloke he's quite observant, apparently Charlie's girfriend had an orange face due to heavily applied make-up!

Dosevvi missed a 1-on-1, Pericard booted the rebound straight over the bar, they missed a free header and Prutton wasn't shit.

That's the game summed up. for the second, wicked strike by sheehan straight into Pericards path, lovely. The goal meant something to him too. VP was a bit lazy though. Ball doesn't have a left foot, so why play him on the left?

Oh, and some idiot tried to sneak a drum into the away end..Nice stewards told him to do one almost immediately. Someone shoot him.

Sneak?

Just got back. First half we were superb and unlucky not to be leading by more. Second half was completely different, and we slowly started sitting on the lead, especially after Tommy missed a glorious chance. There goal was coming, and was a good finish. Lucas kept them out for a while, then out of nowhere Vinny pops up with the winner.

Lucas was outstanding for the most part, some top saves. He might come under criticism for the goal, but not for me. I think he done superbly with the first two saves and was unlucky in the end.

Back four were solid. The 2 young CBs were incredible. I'll be the first to admit I didn't think Morrison had enough about him to perform at this level or above long term but he's is imperious at the moment. Sheehan was my MOM, looked great going forward and solid defensively and linked up well with Prutton. Kev was the weakest of the back four, and looked a bit suspect at times but as a unit they were solid.

Prutts was a lot better, and probably his best performance in red. Got pulled about a little bit at times, as did Caddis but that was probably down to the shape more than anything. Dougie was a monster, and one tackle between the goals changed the momentum back our way, got the fans and players pumped after a quiet 15 mins leading to their goal.

Dossevi was the best player on the park in the first half but never left the changing room at HT and missed a one on one. Vince is improving every game, and deserved his goal. Finally starting to look at home. The hold up play and link up play with the midfield was superb from both strikers at times.

All in all, they put us under a lot of pressure at times but we were good defensively and nicked a winner, a decent away performance and we're starting to look much better.

Looked more than 850 there as well.

Seriously, son, you seem to have a drum with you.  What the fuck are you doing at a football match?

Someone needs to have a word.

yeah. with the sad cunt who took photos of it

[Nemo]

Drum proliferation is a serious worry.

Kev was the weakest of the back four, and looked a bit suspect at times but as a unit they were solid.

Played far too narrow at times, gave Walsall's albino winger tonnes of space... fortunately he couldn't cross the ball otherwise we'd have had some serious problems.

[joteddyred]

Still areas to improve in, but considering 2 weeks ago we hadn't won a game, I think we're all probably chuffed to have now won home and away and looking far better as a team.

The other obvious thing so far is that everyone in League 1 is beatable and the division seems fairly open.  I know we're only 7 games in, but there's only 5 points between top and us in 13th.  Nobody has exactly looked like they are good enough to run away with it.  Next week will be a big test.  If we get 3 points I think we really will be capable of pushing on and matching last season's form.

[Don Rogers Shop]

The first half an hour we were superb i would go as far as saying the football was b etter than anything we even produced last season.

We looked suspect for the first 20 mins of the 2nd half but as i said on the way back if we were 1 down at half time i would expect us to go about it like walsall did.In any away game we will no doubt be under pressure.

Pericard worked his bollocks off today and that was pruttons best game for us. Most pleasing thing for me was Douglas,he was superb and looked back to what we expect.

[Mexicano Rojo]

prutton, sheehan,douglas,morrison take a bow.

That tackle from Douglas was fucking insane.get in.

[Don Rogers Shop]

Oh yeah and we look so much better with Sheehan back.

[Div]

yeah. with the sad cunt who took photos of it

fucking twat.

[Arriba]

Agreed.any person taking photos of a lad with a drum is for sure.

[stfcinbmth]

Great result, another three points, I was sweating enough at 1-0 and got worse at 1-1 thought that they might sneak it at the end

Poole won 2-0, no league game for Brock today Leefer

On the Charlie front, he is out and about in Poole/B'mth tonight apparently. Surprised he didn't travel, but I guess he deserves a few days off
