Crawley Town vs Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread

[Rich Pullen]

Has your hamster died recently Dave? I'm only asking because you seem to have turned into a right miserable cunt recently.

I have also noticed that he has become a bit of a badass on TEF in the last month or so

Well like many i watched the game on the TV i thought we dominated the first half and should have been in front, second half they where always going to come at us
Overall a good result lets all remember Friday Night live, away to 2nd top in their league ,we all would have taken the draw before the game
When is the reply

[magicroundabout]

^^ as said i watched it on TV and thought we played ok.

It was all set up for a cup upset but we stuck too it and got through what was a tough tie.
Crawley are no mugs and are doing well in the conference.

only two players for me who were poor was Prutton and Rose.

My team for next week would either have Duggie in for Prutton or Play Ferry instead with Timlin as the holding player. then obviously Sheehan at left back.

I'm a realist (TM DV85 circa 2006).

Tbf, the reason the midfield looked so lost was because both sides seemed intent to miss out on them for the majority of the game. Our delivery into the box was woefull though - Mcgovern needs a long hard look at himself. Fair enough if Timlins been playing well, I've not been to the recent away games so can't comment, then yeah he deserves his place to start. But when you have a player of ferrys quality, and you aren't exactly blowing the opposition away as we were last night, then why give him 3 minutes? Whats he got to do to get a place.

Morrisons started believing his own hype, and Rose only plays for his set pieces.

Like has been said though, a draw isn't the worst result in the world and on another day we would have won that by a couple. At least we're in the hat, and we should do 'em on our turf

[Simon Pieman]

He's only recently returned to fitness though Dave. It's pretty fucking obvious why he's being eased into the team.

Morrisons started believing his own hype,

I'm far from his biggest fan, but I thought he did OK last night - though I only watched the game on TV. There was a lack of communication between him an Rose for the goal though.

[Bogus Dave]

Hold my hands up, thought he was fully fit (or near it) by now  

[Langers]

Those that are suicidal because we drew with non league opposition: remember Histon?

Spot on. We had a lot of things going against us last night and it could have gone a lot worse and could have been a lot more embarrassing. A draw is a good result.

[Benzel]

That was ok. Awful surface to try and play football on and it only got worse as the night wore on.

Thought Vince did really well, alot was sticking to him and he laid it off to a player in black more often than not. Charlie took his goal well and our CBs were pretty solid throughout. Couldn't get anything going in midfield and JPM looked to have one of his poorest games for a while.

Great finish from Tubbs.

[Bob's Orange]

Thought Tubbs looked a useful striker, forced one excellent save from Smith and his finish was top class. Worth a punt perhaps?

Almost no football played last night, conditions weren't really suited for flowing football and we were dragged into a scrap. Thought Pericard held the ball up well but more often than not had bugger all to give it to and was forced to play it back a lot. Thought Austin looked sharp and took his chance well. Nobody else 'shone' for me.

Still, we still have a chance to progress and we'll be in the draw tomorrow.

[Benzel]

I swear some people don't understand football. Some right tards over on the facebook page saying that Vince shouldn't have started and he offered nothing. I truly despair. I know everyone is entitled to an opinion. But that right should be revoked for some.

[No Longer Posh Red]

Some right tards over on facebook

Well there's a surprise

[Benzel]

To be fair there are some decent posters on there. But true enough... it is facebook after all...

It's like the Adver site, too many dickheads to make it worth bothering IMO

[Benzel]

Mmm. They really hate Pericard on there. Despite the fact that without him last night we'd have been alot worse off. I thought he played really well. Funny what some people see...
