Swindon Town Vs Colchester Official Matchday Thread

[welshred]

Really? the previous 3 didn't

I'm specifically referring to home games. You'd expect teams on their own patch to play a bit more football, or at least try to score rather than just try stopping us scoring.

Some teams who come here will try to get away with a draw and pray for a lucky break. Thats what Col U did last night, and Orient previously and we had no answer to it.

The Rose guy looked handy, maybe we should sign him...

Club have just tweeted ..... Anyone know owt?

So what conclusion do you draw from all the other teams that have tried to do the same and failed? Or don't they count?

I boo'd a ref outside the merlin the other week. Deffo that.

I wasn't even at the game.

Could be worse, we could all get involved with 'handbags' with our own fans during the match like some certain team up the A420

fitton had a word with rose about that season

[Berniman]

Didn't catch the whole txt that was read out but definitely finished with Paolo out. Would be nice to think it was tongue in cheek but I wouldn't put money on it !

That was the same txt that said TAH was MOTM.  I think that sums up whether it was tongue in cheek or not.

Presumably this is related to the "Charlie shagged your missus" and "Your wife is a whore" chants aimed at Rose last night.

He got a bit of relatively tame stick at the start of the game, but that soon seemed to taper off  - I reckon a lot of fans got bored with booing him quite quickly. It was nothing compared to what Austin took the week before.

It was only when he scored and obviously gestured towards the town end several times to try and get a rise out of us that the more personal comments above were thrown back at him.

I wonder how the club feel about an ex-player intentionally trying to wind up their most vocal fanbase during a match, I don't imagine he thought we wouldn't react

In that case it was a wind up. Think we would all agree TAH was definitely not MOTM

Agree with most of the match comments on this thread but what concerns me more is that a well organised side that plays "deep" and closes down our main strikers (Richie/Williams/Benson) with such relative ease can cause us so many problems. It may be that we will see far more games at home like this, I hope not but as it seems currently we do not appear to have a plan A1 let alone a plan B. After last seasons stroll at home this early wake up call is a bit hard to take, just trust that PdC and his team can work the oracle again.

I think we have a plan B that is more attacking, get Ferry on, get Bostock on, change formation 1-1-4-4. Didn't try anything of the sorts yesterday though, not sure why.

Abuse to Rose on twitter, apparantly some of the idiots will be 'named and shamed' in the adver tomorrow.

One tweet from a fan said something along the lines of 'I hope Rose gets cancer and dies'.

[blinkpip]

Tans will have a whole page for him self then.
