Swindon Town FC v Yeovil Town FC Official Matchday Thread

[joteddyred]

Wes on Twitter "Gonna have to give big Sep Blatter a call to sort this goal line technology out!"

Just seen it on SSN, didn't think it had crossed the line at the time, still don't now.  Luckily it was irrelevant in the end and we won comfortably with a margin that could have been bigger.

A really good team performance from the defence right through to the forward line.  Nobody had a bad game and I would say Devera, Ward and Collins played as well as I've seen them play.  Bostock was excellent, some of the passes he made were superb and he was good in the tackle as well.  Ferry is usual busy self as well and it seems to be going forward a lot more know? Pleased to see Collins get a full 90 minutes, I thought he worked hard and the goals will help his confidence no end.  Hope Williams isn't out for long either, although Martin looked quite classy and should prove a good signing.  Hopefully the goals will continue to come in.

Really enjoyed today, despite the referee doing his utmost to spoil the game.  We've had some poor referees this season, but he's certainly up there towards the top.  Some of the decisions were an absolute joke.

Good to see us win again at the CG and the huddle at the end was nice to watch.  Looking forward to Brentford on Tuesday.

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.

Very well put

Great afternoon on the beer with friends, and my post-match call arrives right on cue from my brother at full time.  Love days like this.  Not at the game, but buzzing none the less.  Delighted for Williams (goal, not the injury) and also for Collins.  About time our strikers started scoring.  We seem to have crept up unnoticed after our indifferent spell...last 4 or 5 League games now looks quite an impressive record.  Happy.

Di Canio reminds of a big fucking creamy cake or that delicious fuck of pizza......you eat it and drool at the mouth untill you feel a tad sick...and you think fuck it i have ate to much...actually it dont tast that good...........then you wake up the next day and realise you have a bit left and it tastes better than other.

It's like you got hold of a load of letters and threw them in the air, then typed out what landed............whatever the order

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.

Certainly was like that last week at Walsall.
Bostock always seems really calm and often appears to create time to deal with any danger.  I think he's been great the last 2 matches and the partnership with Ferry really works well.  With Hollands and when Miller is fit again we have plenty of class options in midfield.

"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"

one word sums them up - TINPOT!

Great to get back to winning at the CG and thought we looked comfortable throughout, not even the ref could get them back into the game. It says something when we win 4-1 and still take time out of applauding our players off the pitch to boo the ref.
I thought Ward just shaded man of the match especially with a goal thrown into a real solid proformance but Devera was quality today so good on him. Their number 3 and captain was a horrible little shit and didn't realise Flint had a brother who played for Yeovil.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

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.

I've taken this approach since the Stevenage game when PDC had stated that the Villa game was far more important. On that basis I wrote that game off as a 4-0 defeat and we all know what happened there. At that point it occured to me that what he said to the media and what he says to the players are not necessarly the same thing.

Since then I have been taking his comments with a lorry load of salt (plus the Mbongo has been lifted and he's getting his own way again and he's been a lot less annoying.)

The fact is though, he's quite a prickly character (to say the least) who polarizes opinion and whilst results are going well the 'anti Di Canio idiots' will be quiet but like it or not, it will only take a few bad results for people to be on his back again. Because he is such a prickly character and because not everyone likes his methods he will be cut less slack than other more 'easy going' managers. That's just how it is.

Last 15 mins Yeovil back four were dead on their feet. Once again our fitness was showing at the end stages of the game. We were swarming all over them.
They were trying to leave the boot in a few times ref bottled it.

Winning at home was just what we needed and PDC is and always will be a legend..........great times watching Swindon home and away.

.....and of course the ultimate Cherry. One more loss by those shite tinpot lot down the road will equal our 11 total losses last season. Always enjoyable driving home past that non-football City.
Poor Eric.

Di canio just speaks how he feels at the time. No mind games, no deflecting attention, no protecting the players or board etc, just honesty. People read too much into it. He is the manager, has strong views and aint  shy in sharing them. That is it

When you meet him you realise his passion simply overtakes his brain.

Just accept that he gives 100% to STFC and knows what he is doing........then think the likes of Paul Hart.............He has put following STFC fun once again.

The day he leaves will be a sad day and one difficult act to follow.
He was my first choice of our new Manager and so glad we have him.

Think that is spot on arriba and just the way it is.

Yes spot on.
