Swindon Town v Crawley pre match chat and matchday thread

He looks really dangerous until he gets into a dangerous position

RHM had a shocker today.  Aside from winning a penalty his decision making was woeful.  The penalty was also appalling when you check his run up he telegraphed which way he was going.
Very few impressed today they really didn’t look like they were busting a gut for the cause.  Sums up this seasons issue a squad with no grit or fight.

Gunning notches another win though.

I thought Clayton and Brewitt looked committed and did well.

From the limited amount I've seen of him he reminds me of the season under McMahon when we had Iffy and George Ndah up front and every team we played had their centre halves crapping themselves for the first 15 minutes of every game, and then when they saw break aways amount to nothing over and over, relax.

They got 33 goals between them that year!

RHM has the unpredictable not quite sure what he’s doing aura of Fola Onibuje but with more natural talent + the moan and feel hard done by first, the ball second attribute of Williams.

I’d say on the face of it - he’s had a decent enough productive second half of the season after finally being fit and injury free in what? The best part of two years.

I guess it’s whether people think he’s hit his ceiling now - or - whether he’s just got going and their is room for improvement.

Yeah,I'm liking this partnership. Gets better each game. Thought Clayton MOM today

[skiptotheLouMacari]

Gladwin still has a lovely pass on him but the mobility of Douglas Bader.

By far the best quote I have had the pleasure to read

He has missed more than 2 years in total I think, over the past 5 or 6.  He looks and plays a lot younger than he is because of that - the concern/gamble (which we took) is whether or not those missing years mean he really doesn't improve that much from here.  He's a joker of a player to have in the squad though, one worth keeping around vs. plenty of others who offer much less possible upside (Shade for example).

Agreed. Has he improved since he got here? Yes, 100% He's also lost a lot of weight. He'll be a threat at this level if he can get that match sharpness after a proper pre-season.

Agree with that.
As said I’d be perfectly happy with a front two of
Austin / Jephcott alongside Wakeling / RHM.

Jephcott has said his farewells so i dont think he will be coming back

Shame

Where has this come from? To be honest I wasn’t too impressed with what I saw of him this season.
