Proud of the lads. Not pretty at times but a fantastic performance and result. The win today and away at Plymouth were season defining.
We won without Doyle, they lost with him. F*** you Bradford 😊

I just wish people would stop this childish Doyle shite with the Bradford fans on social media. It is cringeworthy (from both sides)
We are an excellent team with or without him and that should be the focus, not the rest of the moronic drivel
Meh sometimes you need to enjoy it. We've had a whole week of them telling us we were a one man team, they'll be above us by the end of the month etc. Karma is a bitch! |

Strangely enough, it’s not a bad drink - especially at €3.60!
A neighbour dropped off a bottle of home brewed wine - he’s got 56 litres of it. God, it was awful. Undrinkable stuff.
Not that I told him that!
Ssssshhhhhhh, he's on his way round now with another five bottles. |

Let's face it Swindon winning with Jerry Yates getting one alongside two first-time goalscorers while Bradford lose with Doyle playing 90 minutes and not scoring was the absolute best case scenario after this weeks events.
Some people love the to-and-fro from the wacky world of football banter, it's not for me, but they live by the sword and they'll die by it.

Weird game. Great win.
Halftime we were lucky to be level never mind ahead. Second half we were starting to look more and more comfortable and then they scored. Lot of people fearing the worst, including me, but we never looked back from there.
Crewe are a neat team, carved out some good openings but couldn't find the final ball. That's their problem, fuck em, particularly as they had a number of players who went down like they'd been poleaxed then made a miraculous recovery.
Really proud of the Swindon performance, battled hard, a neutral might say we were a bit lucky but sometimes you make your own luck and I think we got what we deserved today.
Wouldn't really disagree with Rose as MoM but really impressed with Doughty in the first 30 mins. Tracked back well and made a number of key tackles and interceptions.

Who says we can't win against sides in the top 10?  Very important win today, not just for the 3pts but also for the context, partly of the distance it puts between us and them, but also after what must have been an unsettling week for the players as well |

Absolutely, fans seem to forget the tightknit squad that we have it has been a massive distraction for them all I am sure. Well done them all for showing such mettle. |

Also worth a mention on Benda’s kicking. Their keeper struggled to kick it up to the halfway line when playing into the wind. Benda however was still able to smash it half way into their half despite the wind, pretty impressive and always gives us an out ball.

Benda was superb all round today, his handling, his claiming of crosses, his kicking, all absolutely top notch. Talking of keepers, I see Vigs didn't get a game for Orient today  Edit: Apparently he has not got international clearance yet. |

Will be interesting to see how far Benda goes as he has the potential to be top notch. |

I like the Rose goal, it would have been very easy to put that into the Car Park. We are now starting to get a few from other sources, which will be important as the season progresses. You'd like to think Doughty, seeing as how he is the leading scorer at the club, might be good for a few before season's end. |

All 3 goals were brillaint strikes, even if Hunts took a deflection on the way, his power was brilliant.
Rose and Yates will never connect better with any shot too.
