Swindon Town FC vs Barrow AFC pre match chat and matchday thread

[THE FLASH]

Tough watch but like Monday, not shit but could still be out there now without scoring!

We are now officially safe! Phew!

Fans are now indifferent and my personal take is that some stalwarts stayed away and those that attended laughed off the performance rather than moan about it.

Was it a Pen? I stand in the far end of the TE and it looked like it to me but my ususal pre match sherberts might of misted my vision.

Probably go on Tuesday, i have a pick of three STs that arent being used.

they were all comfortably in our half on free kicks and done corners.

You can see 9 in this capture alone.

I get 7 v 10 in the box should give us an advantage and cover more space, but only if all 10 can actually defend.


All I'm saying is it's not stupid to ask if we should have someone around half way line to chase a clearance

Even if we had left one up. They’d still have left one back and pushed the same 9 forward.
I get asking the question if we did it for every set piece all season but considering how many we’ve conceded in rest weeks - I understand the logic in playing it as safe as possible.

Totally missed this game and, as sad as it is to draw at home with Barrow, a clean sheet feels like a step forward from where we've been. It sounds like Brewitt had a decent game and I definitely think he has shown that he is good enough to be in a L2 squad for us next year. Easy to forget that both he and McEachran had no preseason and have come in off the scrapheap and been asked to play almost every minute since they arrived, which is no mean feat. It shows a high degree of professionalism to have physically maintained themselves so well on their own.

Whilst Rob, and I take Clem, have confirmed that changes in recruitment will happen next season with the necessary funds available,  can I ask,  what will a convicted money laundering drug dealer and a bookies runner bring to the club next year if at least one of them will be not required.

Oh come on no team leaves a team 1 on 1 at the back from a corner, if a team leaves 1 up front the defensive team will leave 2 back. That’s absolutely basic stuff.

that's fair

it was just the tone of your original post reading line you'd have to be an idiot to suggest such a thing.

in any case, we didn't concede. so it worked

They can talk the talk but i wont believe it until we see hard evidence of change

Oh, yeah I meant it was an odd question to ask certainly within the context of how our defending of set pieces has been recently. I wouldn’t advocate it on every single set piece over a whole season.

Wakeling should be up top with Austin, not wide

This. So much this.

kadji isn't a ball player type

I'm not convinced he is any type of professional footballer, if I'm honest.

Was half expecting a comedy bit of just the kick off and full time whistle.
