Walsall v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

[horlock07]

Barrow - Salford called off by Ref.

Barrow really not happy about it!

[tans]

Peterborough just gone (v Charlton)

I know you are in for a hiding if the pitch actually becomes playable, but an hour and a half before kick off??

Banbury had their game vs Darlington at home postponed at 1430hrs - bit of a pisser, the ref deemed it playable but Darlington had concerns over one corner and wouldnt agree to play

Nothing to do at all with the 5 players they had out injured i suspect

If one side refuses to play and the ref deems the pitch playable, surely that's a 3-0 default?

[tans]

One would hope so. But its the National League North and they only care about the bigger clubs in the league. Pitch inspected yesterday, deemed playable. Ref inspected at 1pm today playable. Darlingtons manager called their players off the warm up and then had a ‘discussion’ with the ref and was insistent it shouldnt be played. (forgot Danny Rose plays for them now)

Even the referee asessor deemed it playable by all accounts

As always no one considered the fans. Even if only a handful of Darlington fans had made the trip they couldn't have been very happy to see the game called off especially I their own players had refused to play

[Ides of March]

Strangely looking forward to this. We aren’t going up, nor are we going down this season. Would be nice to see some positive performances and results as we head towards the end of the season, so we can enter next year with momentum. Didn’t think much of Walsall at our place, although we certainly were not much better. Will go for 2-0 Town - Austin and Wakeling with the goals and 750 Swindon fans.

binning off ifollow to play badly at snooker

(1-0, 4907)

[Peter Venkman]

Expecting nothing but hope to be surprised.

I quite enjoyed Saturday and thought we more than matched Carlisle for almost the whole game until the last minute when we lost concentration.

With Austin in midfield and Hutton not supplying crosses I just don't see where the goals will come from TBH. We can't just rely on RHM chasing long balls down the channels.

Walsall 5 points worse off than us wont be a walk in the park. They demolished our reserve side in the LC early season when we played many youngsters.

In the home game they smash and grabbed a last minute winner from a corner....again...in a game we should not have lost.

On the plus side we are only 7 points behind Salford in the play offs with 2 games in hand so a string of wins and we will be right back in the mix.

Piece of . . .

Oh, what’s the point!

[adje]

Brynn
Lavinier Brewer Clayton Tomlinson(if fit)
Hutton McEachran Williams
RHM Austin Wakeling

I'd like to see something like this

[Mooneyraker]

Depends if Tomlinson is back of course but clearly at this stage we have to 'go for it' and I'm not sure 352 qualifies as that. Assuming Brewitt has the legs after a long time out of the game and that Joe is still out I think 442 could get the best out of Austin. We simply have to be getting the ball into him in the box. In which case:

                                                                          Brynn

Hutton                                Brewitt                                          Clayton                        Lavinier


Shade                                McEachran                                     Cain                              Williams


                                          Austin                                          Wakeling


Or the same XI shuffled into a 433.

RHM as impact sub.

[Peter Venkman]

I feel we will start the same formation as on Saturday just with Lavinier for Wakeling and change it 2nd half when it doesn't work

                                 Brynn
         Minturn            Brewitt               Clayton  
Hutton                                                          Lavinier
           McEachran         Cain                      Williams
                                  Austin                                
                                    RHM
