Swindon v Scunthorpe pre match chat and matchday thread

[Jimmy HaveHave]

1,750 Bolton.
Bastards blocking the road on the way down. Didn’t mind they did the business.

Cheers Duke at least that explains the blip!

Ipswich took 6,850 to MK today superb support.

Made hard work of that first half. All it needed was a goal to settle the nerves.
The worst opposition we have faced all season, they were terrible and certs for the National League.
Reed best player on the pitch, however the sublime pass by Iandolo the best move of the match.
There is a player in Louie Barrie, can see he has the quality, a run of a few games and that elusive goal and sure he will kick on.
Stayed behind to applaud the General off the pitch. Looked a little emotional I thought.
On to Carlisle next Saturday with at least some much positive hope installed once again.

For the first time since I don't know when, I actually enjoyed a home game.  I thought we played some nice stuff. Special mention to Iandolo who was MotM for me. That was a killer pass for McKirdy's goal.  Good to see Reed back and bossing the midfield.  I was also impressed with Barry and Davison in particular today.  

Credit to Garner for changing the formation and the attacking impetus today.

Stats show 24 shots from 54% possession.Must be our lowest possession percentage for ages coupled with highest number of shots.Ironic

Piss stains beat us today must have had a bring a kid for a quid deal on😀

Still had 800 less home fans than us. No surprise.

Yes I enjoyed today's game, which is a novelty. No offense to Scunthorpe but the team that can't beat them is a poor side indeed.

I listened today and it seems like we played a more exciting and progressive brand of football that resulted in a convincing win. We apparently had a let off which led to JJW making a few good saves. I am looking forward to seeing the highlights and seeing this legendary Iandolo pass. I am pleased he is getting recognition for his performances. Wellens always rated him highly and said he was among the fittest players in the squad.

It's more interesting than bus stations😀

I thought that was much more of a shout than the last one, Grant had hold of his hand and pulled him back - could have gone either way that one

Spot on, really suprised how many missed that. Blatant penalty i thought

A clear change in approach today. The change on formation meant we had men wide, which we’ve been desperately lacking. We passed with far more purpose. Louis Reed was visibly trying the increase the pace of the game - as was Aguiar. Not always succeeding, but the intent was there. It wasn’t great quality at times, and JoJo probably had more saves to make than their keeper (even if their keeper had saved the 3 he let in), but we needed a shot in the arm so it’s job done. Aside from a few nice touches and a great through ball, I’m not a fan of Iandolo in the middle. He’s too one footed for me and immobile. Some (Doughty) can get away with that, but not Ellis. Hope I’m proved wrong. Happy for Davison. His work rate is admirable. If Barry could learn to hit the line and pull it back with his left, instead of cutting in every time, then I’d imagine Davison could bag himself a few goals. Instead, our Louie is a bit of a one trick pony. Run at the right back, and either cut onto your right to shoot (or turn into trouble), or go left and fall over. He could be knocked over with a feather. It’s early days with him, and he’s shown in flashes that he may turn into a decent player.  I was horribly bored last week, but not this. Let’s get Payne, Williams and Conroy fit, maybe a freebie or two, and get up and out of this league.

Amen. Who gives  a shit.

Were there 9,012 there today?

I wouldn’t say so, but all ST’s (don’t know about advance tickets) are counted for each game.

That said, it was still a decent turnout
