Swindon Town FC v Yeovil Town FC Official Matchday Thread

[SuggWillSugg MBE]

PDC interview:
- First 20 mins we have to be better
- Showed more guts today
- Dont want to be arrogant but we need to be more nasty and do much better
- We need to do much better job of killing games and be greedy in front of goal
- Good win after some poor performances at home
- We improved tactically individually, although we did play tippy tappy which I dont like
- Worried when Williams went down. Fortunately initial tests show its not ligament damage
- He's starting to recover which is a good sign. He will be checked properly in 24 hours
- Angry with Macca for losing the ball, which led to a goal
- When you are a defender you have to defend. Its only when you have space and time that you can do more. Its difficult though as it was his first game back
- Darren Ward looked strong: He won everything in both boxes despite them being a bigger side. Took his goal like Gary Lineker
- Because we were focussed and determined we were able to come out on top
- Ward and Devera did a fantastic job
- Ward's toe poke came at a good time as they were dangerous having come back to 2-1
- Collins took goals well. I will kick his bottom as he could have worked harder for the team. When he scores early in the game he thinks he's done his job. Pleased he scored twice
- Happy with Hollands and Martin. Hollands has greater fitness which was known. We will need his skill in the middle in the future
- Martin needs to eat a little bit less and work a bit harder. We can joke about this. He is a good footballer and he needs the type of environment we have to improve himself
- Looking forward to Tuesday in a positive way. We now have the quality in the squad to be able to cope with quick turn arounds now
- PDC needs help from the more experienced players. We have to be strong when playing teams around us
- Very pleased with today.

Jesus, he almost seems happy with a performance!

We've crept under the carpet because everyone (our own fans included) have paid little to no attention to results and just talked about Di Canio's media antics and the embargo and you've all fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

Say what you like - but he's deflecting the attention completely away from our results and performances.

I overheard two Town fans yesterday who were slagging the bloke off no end - dont like him, novelty has warn off, has talked himself out of a better job, hasnt done a great job only a good one, my nan could have got us promoted, wont miss him if he walks tomorrow, someone else will take over and do the same job, blah blah media blah blah.

horseshit.

I wouldn't be surprised if he and the board have a right proper giggle about some of his interviews.

I know I do.

[No Longer Posh Red]

What exactly happened during the week at Posh

A couple of the players that were transfer listed got into a fight in a club.

As for today's game I thought we played well, every single player put in a good performance, especially the two centre halves.


Ref was absolutely fucking useless, and fortunately didn't cost us any points as we were much better than Yeovil.

[THE FLASH]

how are Yeovil our Somerset neighbours?

Wiltshire borders Somerset (Fromey bastards), Yeovil is in Somerset.......Somerset neighbours.

[sonicyouth]

Di Canio is doing a good job. I don't like him at times due to his arrogance and the way he talks to the press.

[donkey]

Been having lessons with Garth Crooks, Lee ?

No chance. I understood it!

[Batch]

I missed the Sheff U and Macc games. Was Ferry bombing forward as much as today? I'd have thought it would be Bostock that pushed on, but nope.

[Frigby Daser]

Really enjoyed that match...great game of footy.

Devera was ace today closely matched by Ward.

Fair play to Yeovil...they fought hard(to hard at times) and i reckon they were a better team than Colchester or Orient who we dropped points to...one thing though Reuben Reid...how much weight was he carrying....he was quality on the ball when he came on and should take a good look at himself because i reckon he could still be a decent player.

As it is i thouroughly enjoyed today...a win on Tuesday and i reckon the  e,i e,i e,i oooooooogh could be raising its a head a bit more regular.
On another positive note over 8,000 today was a great attendance.

Rueben Reid and his clan play for Bristol West Indians CC. He is (or was) an incredibly talented cricketer. So good, that Glos CCC organised a Millfield scholarship for him and he played in the Glos CCC youth and 2s. Apparently, it was when he got his phone out at square leg and started texting his mates during a 2s game that they realised he perhaps wasn't particularly focused on his cricket. He turned up half way through a match I played at their place a couple of years ago, and (being a pro footballer) he acted as if he was royalty coming back for the grand homecoming. It was equally embarasssing and hilarious for those of us watching on. We collapsed to 70 odd all out, so I suppose he had the last laugh. Fat bastard.

[ReadingRed]

Ref was absolutely fucking useless

He might have been useless, but at least he got the crowd going - the atmosphere was like a morgue for the rest of the time. It's been poor all season but today was really quiet considering how much action there was.

[THE FLASH]

Enjoyed today....fully deserved that 4-1 win and I would of been gutted if we had only won 3-1

Yeovil enjoyed the efforts of piss poor reffing to lay the boot in at will but for once we out played them and it didnt matter.

I really enjoyed the second and fourth goal. Excellent.

Hopefully we can get a similar result against the Brentford.

[Paolo69]

More importantly did I won the attendance competition on my debut Flash?

[janaage]

It is amusing how upset and antagonised some get with PDC's media sound bites.

I ignore a hell of a lot of them, works a treat.

As I've said before the bloke is a stereotypical Italian, and as such most of what he says in the heat of the moment should be ignored.

Wouldn't swap him for anyone else right now, long may he reign over the club.

The little difference between the price of the Town End and Don Rogers meant alot of the singers relocated. The atmosphere has really suffered as a result.

Board need to make the Town End much cheaper next season to encourage them to move back.

[Not that Nice If I'm Honest]

"Oxford are well and truly finished with injury to Craddock
Wilder won't go for youth but will persevere with Constable and Pittman
I think we are pushing for top of the bottom half"

Was Craddock the guy that burnt his nipples with boiling baby milk ?

Apparently, it hurt so bad he cried

Terrible, terrible stuff.............
