Tranmere Rovers v Swindon - matchday thread

[walrus]

To be honest, Gurney is a bit different to a loan player in that he was here before and has played the most games for Swindon out of anyone else on the pitch.  He's willing to talk, and probably is the only logical choice as captain.  Who else would people nominate as captain?

Is there anyway I can listen over here in Crawley without signing up to that fucking ripoff which is STFC World?

I reckon a fiver a month is pretty good for live commentary of all the games and all the goals as well. :shock:

It's great if they charge you properly and you can actually listen to the live commentary.  For the two years I had it, I was charged twice one year and the live feed often was broken and not really useable a lot of the time.  When I did wish to contact them to report a problem/claim a refund, it seems as though there is no one to contact!

"Swindon not quite hanging on grimly, but are certainly indebted to their goalkeeper" Ed Hadwin.  Sounds promising...   :|

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Hmmmm....sounds like we're up against it.  I feel a goal coming on. :?

Oh, right.  I've not had any of those problems.

I can't beleive our midfield is non-existent. TBH I'm not a big fan of 4-5-1. I think the best forms of defense are attack. We seem to be under the cosh at the minute.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I'm going to stop listening now and watch Soccer Saturday.  Hopefully they will pick up.

I'm not a fan of watching the 4-5-1 but when implemented correctly it works well.  The wingers, if fit enough, can make diagonal runs to give you almost a 4-3-3 when attacking, but still giving you plenty of cover when defending.  However, I do not think we implement the 4-5-1 correctly - we must stop playing about with formations.

I know Hadwin's bemoaning the fact not enough men are getting in the box, but if the defence had even less cover I imagine we'd have conceded by now...

Yep - rather they hung on and got a point at Prenton Park through 451 and scrappy play than get a pasting at 442

I don't think we'll use 4-5-1 much this year but away to Tranmere is one time we should probably be quite defensive.

Working so far anyway 0-0 at half time.

That's a fair point.  I just hope we don't switch to the 3-5-2/4-3-3 to start a game (obviously going 4-3-3 later on in a match when drawing/losing is different) later in the season.

    They're playing I See Girls at half time.  Sonic's probably tearing his hair out...

...So cheers for the other link Chris K

[STFC_Chris]

Time to bring on Cureton or Roberts to get a goal?

[Sippo]

Come on AK lets change it now, and get a quick response.
