Swindon v Huddersfield Official Matchday Tread.

[Summerof69]

A little bit too much up his own arse for my liking

I agree. I can see him getting the boot if they don't go up this year. They were poor today.

[Arch Stanton]

Well, I don't know what the fuck you're all on about. bristolterrier on the 'down at the mac' website is clearly far more perceptive and inciteful than any of you...and I quote...

"Swindon were poor and we were worse."

Seriously, I wonder what planet some of you are on with your "Ooooh, what a great performance, we played them off the park" bollocks

ha ha ha ha! Ace!

Back to Caddis though, he wasnt great today, but he looked accomplished - but I think he'll be an integral player this year. As a right back he slotted in well in the midfield, got tackles in and made some good runs. A successful team needs players that look comfortable in many positions and he certainly was that - promising is how I'd sum him up.

[Don Rogers Shop]

Agree Arch. I'm one of those weird fans who like to watch players now and then when they are off the ball and his work rate is amazing and some of his movement is very good indeed.

I was doing that with JPM today, he must have run about 15 miles during the game.

[jonny72]

I thought Caddis was crap. Didn't see him doing much apart from giving the ball away all the time. He was crap on the only other occasion I've seen him play. I'm sure he'll come good though, might need more time getting used to the diamond.

Douglas was immense today, all over the place cleaning up - back to his form of last season, if not better.

How the fuck Huddersfield ended up top I don't know as they were awful. Don't think it was us making them look bad, they were just shit. But I think it's more a case of the division being wide open this season, I can't see anyone running away with it at the moment.

JPM is always just 'there', always involved.

This is the main difference between the Sturrock/Malpas JPM and the Wilson JPM -The Sturrock/Malpas JPM used to drift in and out of games, sometimes playing 90mins but yet remaining anonymous. The Wilson JPM is always mixing it, tackling, chasing, blocking.... he might not make a killer contribution week in week out but his workrate and effort is sometimes worth 5 extra men. Top class

Can't stop smiling! God I love Swindon Town Football Club!!

I'm off to see if I can drink a big bottle of red whilst smiling like a Cheshire cat. Tidy.

[Don Rogers Shop]

That's the first home game this season where i thought yes we look back to what we were last season. This time last season Wilson bought in a few key loan players if he does the same again we could be in for a decent season again.

Huddersfield are notoriously shit away from home. Looked to me that they'd set themselves up to stop and thus tried all their tricks to kill off any momentum the game had at times.

I thought Caddis had an ok game, he did give the ball away once or twice.  But he did make a lot of forward runs, getting behind a couple of times and even a few good crosses.

I can't think of anyone who had a bad game, but some were better than others.
On the whole I think we controlled the game well and were well on top for the last 10 mins of the first half and all through the second, and can only think of 2 Huddrsfield chances - the one Lucas gave them in the first 5 mins with the bad throw out, and the great save he made right at the end.

Good game, great result.  Roll on Tuesday!

Completely disagree with most of what you said except for the bit about Dougie and this. You could throw the proverbial handkerchief over the top half of the table and as an indication of quite how wide open it is, a couple of weeks ago we were bottom of the table and the Wendies were top. We're now mid-table and rising, with the Wendies in 14th, two points below us.

Top performance from everyone today.

Morrison is very steady at the back and took his goal well. The thread about 30-odd resons why he's better than Gordon Queer is relevant. New contract time.

Prutton is now knuckling down. I can see why Colchester didn't want him to fuck off now.

Dossevi and Vinnie are doing a lot better, but need to sniff out more chances for themselves. Both are senior pro's, but all their hard work and endevour means fuck all if they cant spot a winking chuff in the dark.

Early days and all that, but we've moved our performances up a notch or three.

[Simon Pieman]

Maybe a somewhat blinkered retrospect after a bottle of wine but here goes:

Morrison was incredible: strong, unflappable, some great passes and thoroughly deserved to score.

The rest of the defense did a decent job defensively. The clean sheet says it all.

I thought Sheehan's crossing was consistent. Bit of a shame none of our players realised he was putting it into the same area each time, else we would be raving about his delivery instead of perhaps criticising it a little.

Amankwaah started slowly and played better as the game wore on, he looks like he is struggling a bit at times. Caddis had decent patches but needs to be more consistent. I'd like to see more deliveries coming from that side.

Prutton, McGovern and Douglas put in very committed performances and really ran the show. They were tireless, won the ball and spread the play when needed. Wilson summed it up when he said we have no room to carry players. These players typified our performance and the best aspect of our team (our endeavor).

I thought the middle was very congested making it difficult for the strikers, though both of them did a great job, Pericard used his physical presence to great effect, whilst Dossevi was decent at holding up the ball but showed some really class touches.

Overall a committed, gritty and often exciting performance. I also high-fived Kinky Tom when we scored which was slightly gay.

...and quite a challenge with you being 4 foot 9 and him being 7 foot 3.
