Swindon Town Vs Crawley Official Matchday Thread

[Benzel]

Can someone post up some reaction from that Crawley forum? I can't be bothered to sign up.

I really enjoyed listenign to the game on Player last night, we sounded like we set at them pretty much from the off and hardly took our foot off the pedal, a good win against a side that are still fancied to scrape into the play offs.

Here are a few quotes from the Creepy forum on how they saw the game.

The first few comments were in response to a little winding up by SwindonRed, obviously a Swindon fan on a wind up mission...no its not me but....

Some pathetic usual comments to start with then some people at the game telling it how it was....with us the better side.

dont rise to it his over spending pretty boys will get thumped 4 or 5 times this season


Still good luck in holding on to your manager - won't be too long until one of the "big" teams comes sniffing around and takes him away.
Probably an Italian one ...
BTW, the money is still there - can you say the same at Swindon.
I doubt it.


Your more than likely to go bust before we do. What did I hear £10.2M in debt, and running at a 1.4M loss last year. Enjoy conference south in a couple of seasons.


Just get back to crunching carrots,repulsive acts of insest and the like,you weirdo.
You've got webbed feet,you've got webbed feet
We 'ain't,we 'ain't.


Sounded like we were a bit unlucky


He's from Swindon, they are so inbred he gets annoyed on match days that every away fan looks normal with 5 fingers on each hand. Don't blame him, I blame the parents.


Swindon will be up there at the end of the season. 20th or higher will do me.


Sadly Swindon work rate surpassed us tonight they closed us down and worked harder. Midfield did not protect defence. Defence did not play the ball through midfield and thus the strikers got very limited service. Add to that there 2nd and 3rd goals came at times that killed off our best spells. Not sure who thought Akpan had a good game looked like the match passed him by. Bulman out of position poor performance considering his high standards. Simpson not great. Sadly we will have nights like this in league 1. Top support to those that sung 45 mins non stop never experienced fans like it when being played off the park.


We were just a little better than awful on the pitch. Credit to Swindon, who played well. By God, we won the singing though! 154 magnificent Crawley fans outsinging seven and a half thousand friends of Dougal, and we're still singing on the coach home. Not sure I've ever enjoyed a defeat quite this much. Every cloud and all that......


Swindon were the better team although 3-0 flattered tem a little. They had the first half and the second IMO was even. Can see Swindon challenging for the title if they continue playing like that.


We were shocking tonight, Swindon played well. Fair play to them. Sadly for the pillock above, anyone who puts kisses at the end of forum message is clearly a bender.
Sadly for him, this "non league club"'s fans made there 7,000 look pony tonight. We were immense. Some decent football fans in Swindon, praised our fans and could clearly see we were not at our best whilst they played very well. Shame they are not all of the same mould. We didn't defend well at all and got punished, TBH I am expecting a few batterings this season, this is league one, we need to keep some realism.
Poor following from us tonight, 154 is disappointing and embarrassing....almost as much as the home fans tonight, were they even there? Anyway, move on. 3 points from 2 games I'd have taken that.


The chant was the great escape tune and the drummer was fantastic.
I think we all made the noise of about 1000 tonight, we were magnificent .


Paolo Di Canio was a disgrace , if he was on the terraces he would have been ejected from the ground.
He was goading our bench and the match officials.
At the end of the game when all players had left the field , he went on the pitch lording it to the crowd.


Your fans were a disgrace. 3-0 up and you still didn't sing.
Your manager is a fascist too.
We went up last season, as did you. We will not go up this season, as you will not. We put you out the cup, you did not go on to the last sixteen two seasons in a row and play at Old Trafford. Given the choice, I'd take our lot.


I’m not saying we were unlucky to lose though, we weren’t. Swindon were the better team but we really didn’t play that badly.
Swindon will be up around the play-offs this season so we take the defeat and we move on.

Done I was copying it as you posted that.

Yes, because you would never see a football crowd goad the opposition bench or worse still, the bastard in the black match officials.

[walcot red]

I liked the bit that said about playing at old trafford. Shame no-one told them that we've played at Anfield, Stamford bridge etc in the Premiership a league they will NEVER get to.

[Benzel]

Haha thanks, exactly what I expected from them. Absolutely laughable.

[Langers]

Very comfortable last night, we looked really good in all areas.

I think Williams is going to be absolutely immense this year, he was causing them problems all night. It was good to see Ritchie have a good game and I think Devera is growing into the RB role.

We looked very solid at the back and was good to see that Flint is still winning absolutely everything in the air.

I thought I would dislike Crawley less after Evans left, but I don't, horrible little club. Drums really should be banned from football matches.

Will be a much bigger test on Saturday and will be a good indication of where we are. Bring it on!

Hopefully the horrible little fucker Alan Smith will be banned after his sending off last night, making them a bit weaker too.

[Samdy Gray]

He will be. It was a straight red for violent conduct, so 3 match ban.

[Bob's Orange]

They have had 3 red cards so far this season. Kay, Gleeson and Smith so I guess each of these may be suspended?

From what their manager says, their defence is a little make-shift at the moment so hopefully we can take advantage.

[Simon Pieman]

We really need to ban away fans from bringing drums into the ground. Not only is it fucking annoying but it can stifle the home support.

They live in cloud cuckoo land, then again they ain't too far away from Brighton.

[Honkytonk]

Wore my new town shirt to the shops today. Some bloke came up to me and went "Your boys played really well last night", turned out he was a Crawley fan who was at the game. Some of them are alright!

Then again in the same trip someone shouted "TWAT" at me, so swings and roundabouts.

[Bob's Orange]

We really need to ban away fans from bringing drums into the ground. Not only is it fucking annoying but it can stifle the home support.

I think a baby's bib could stifle our home support recently.

If 150 odd people with a drum can generate more of an atmosphere than 7,500 fans of a team winning comfortably then we should be worried.

N.B. I have no idea if this is actually true.

[4D]

I think BO that is why we need a decent new, bigger, home end. All likeminded singers can congregate there.
