Stockport County v Swindon Town pre match chat and matchday thread

[Peter Venkman]

HT 0-0 not bad TBH.

[Wobbly Bob]

I'm  liking this.
Looks like a case of first goal wins though.

8 seconds added time, don't see that often.

Entertaining but not especially high quality half. Both sides have made mistakes, both sides haven't had the quality to really punish the other's - though Stockport have got closer and Brynn's made two excellent saves. The experienced midfielders - Williams for us and Sarcevic for them - seem to be the best players on the pitch, but FBT and Khan have been pretty decent too.

Anyone's game.

County are awful at the back and there to be taken, just need to get that 1st goal and they will crumble.

[Batch]

not too bad, fairly even game tbh

Got a good feeling about this.

So according to SL, they are yet another "good side that play expansive football". Those watching what do you say? Sounds like they've given us a lot of possession

They've played expansively at times, but often been a bit short of the required quality to make that work. Their best threats have often come with more direct balls over the full backs.

I would like to see a faster flow of play.   Less short passes for no apparent reason in back and midfield.   We have 3 forwards.  Get the ball forward then.  Of town comes out with a bit more energy this half they will physically dominate this team

They are spreading the ball well at times, 3 or 4 times they have put balls over Darcy's head into the channels, they arent a bad football side they just look as bad as us at the back at times, they are decent going forwards, less so defending, havent tested their keeper as yet.

Good job Brynn has turned out more than capable or we'd be in serious trouble.

Can’t say solid half, but certainly competitive and promising half.

Nobody is having a really poor one. Not convinced by the RB experiments so far though. Surely we must be looking for one.

One really good save from Brynn, otherwise they have fluffed most openings.

We need to up the accuracy in the final third. Their defence is not up to much, we have not made enough of their mistakes so far.

Williams, Brynn and Khan all worth a mention for a good half.

Fair - Darcy isn't a right back and it does show in terms of his defensive positioning. But he's got forward well and put in a few decent crosses, and it's not like Hutton (or Shade) had shown any particular defensive aptitude.

[McGurk's Missus]

very surprised that the odds on this...at HT still have Town at 4/1 and Stockport at Evens. With a draw generous at 7/4.

It hangs in the balance but not with that much against Town. Worth a cheeky 10 quid!
