Swindon v Tranmere pre match chat and matchday thread

[4D]

Do we have a row Z at the CG? 

[4D]

Who comes up with these midweek fixtures, Barrow v Exeter, Crawley v Salford, Gash v Oldham, Orient v Harrogate. 

[Jimmy HaveHave]

As bad as the opening day fixture Exeter v Bradford with all the holiday traffic gridlocking the M5

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

they coned off 1 lane from commonhead to coate yesterday,total clusterfuck, avoid or leave early mate

Going to be A34 / M4 for me.
Leaving earlier than normal.

Let us know how it goes.

We aren’t down tonight but looking at alternative routes for the next Saturday home game (Bank Holiday Weekend)

You can come in on the A420 but have to filter onto the 419  to Commonhead. Coming back is via the South Marston Roundabout down the 419 then filter back onto the 420.

Its because the EFL think that no one will travel, and the clubs can make more money of ifollow

Wary that it might be a bit chaotic, and don’t fancy sitting in a queue on the A420, so wondered if it’s better to go A40 to Burford & through Highworth or down the A34 to the M4.

Posh - Queued for 10 minutes to exit the M4 westbound at J15 on Saturday, due to roadworks reducing lanes on the roundabout. Tip: you CAN use the left hand lane 1/2 way up the sliproad, marked 'A419 & A346' even though everyone is sitting in the right lane...

Is tonight's game available on Ifollow for UK based people? I can't remember the rules now.

In equal measure I so looked forward to the Carlisle game and dreading this evening’s. Not about the result but the affirmation we’re set for fanny football at the back - flicks and attempted show passes in areas where clearing your lines should be the priority.

The fact is, most opposition team aren’t that good and if an agricultural clearance or 2 gives the ball back we’ll get it back soon enough to build again.

What’s set in my mind was under Luke Williams and being 2-1 up against Oldham, I think, with a couple of minutes to go and some fancy ass flick got misdirected and they equalised. That one, in particular, really fucked me off.

Perhaps my nerves are shot!

I can see where your coming from as I got a bit of Willams deja vu, on saturday.   Not so much at Scunthorpe.    I think the difference for me was that at scunny we were away and so 2 holding midfielders sitting deep is ok , but also Ilandolo looked to break the lines quicker than Reed did, particularly 2nd half.

At home I'd prefer to see a more box to box type player play as the second midfielder to give more passing options, particularly under the press, or we end up playing far too deep as happened a few times on Saturday.

It's very early days so not getting worked up about it.

Or cut across from the A420 at Watchfield and pick up the A361 (Highworth road).
