Salford City v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

[Jimmy Quinn]

Crewe have sneaked up there

Top 3 inching away now.

We have a game in hand, win that and we are still in contention

[adje]

Drawing 2-2 against 10 men - conceding an injury time goal.
…you know what that means…

Incoming no doubt

[Mooneyraker]

Enjoyed J Smith on co-comms.

In the context of being ahead, that was piss poor, two points thrown away.

Why is Charlie austin the man in the left back space trying to stop the shot

I'll help you out, because Shade is SHIT.  He danced around ahead of the ball then stood still and watched them while Austin tried to drop in and cover.

Unfortunately, I fear our season may come up a little short because we simply haven't brought in the three or so players we knew we were missing.  We still have nobody who grabs the rest of the defence by the balls and drags them to battle.  It means, for all the good stuff, we look likely to concede at any moment.  We have enough about us going forwards to remain in the hunt, but I just don't see that missing bit, that has been missing since the summer (actually, since last summer).

Overall we were the better team today, in terms of possession, creating a few chances.

Doncaster, Morecambe and now Salford where we’ve either failed to break down or have conceded to ten men to throw away games. Obviously the game doesn’t become a walkover when a team goes down to ten, but that’s fucking shocking. Time after time on the road we are throwing away games.

In absolutely no way is that a good point. 2-1 up against ten men with 10 minutes left to hold on. Fair enough if it happens once a season, but that’s already 3 times where we’ve thrown away games against ten men.

Don’t forget Wrexham even tho it was 11 v 11

This is the main point. We can all, including Flynn, see what we need. We aren't talking breaking the bank here. 3 steady L2 players would do it. Is Clem serious or not? (Don't answer that)

[Outletred]

That’s why we won’t get promoted.

Can’t see a game out against 10 men again and no real leader on there when Brewitt went off

[MangoRed]

Much better team but Another 2 points dropped against 10 men/from a winning position. Hope Brewitt isn’t injured too bad- Minturn looked good when he was on and not phased at all. First goal for them so easy. Well worked set piece for us. Worst decision I’ve seen all season to give them a red card and us a pen. Not sure what FBT/Austin doing for the goal but hey Ho, Austin found something funny at the end of the game god knows what everyone else looked raging. I know there’s a few on here that get off on us losing/dropping points and seeing reactions  but gotta feel for the ones that travelled today, another loss and poor finish on the road.

Hilarious to see someone go after Shade already, was my MOM today thought he was very good. Khan decent also.

[Pericardinho]

I knew as soon as we starting sitting back we were in trouble.

Why not push 20 yards up the pitch and press their centre backs like we had been doing all game?

We invited them onto us and were punished. Could see it a mile off.

Shit management that. Or leadership if it was a subconscious thing.

Appreciate your opinion but in my opinion an "in my opinion" from yourself wouldn't go amiss sometimes. It's not a "fact". He was pretty decent today in my opinion

Shade was one of our better players today IMO.

Flynn:
- It hurts and Flynn cares
- As comprehensive an away performance as you will get in L2 apart from the first 10 mins
- We could have been 3-0 down. They are a good team
- Flynn's not a happy bunny
- We weren't following runners
- Could have lost us the game in first 10 mins
- Certain players weren't doing what they were told
- Worked hard on set plays. But they improvised with the corner for the goal
- That was one of the times they were thinking on their feet
- Definite penalty. End of
- Should have seen the game out
- Should have scored a 3rd. But made a pass: Flynn doesn't know why
- Flynn doesnt think its a pattern, but Flynn was angry and players have had some home truths
- Poor decision making. But won't dig out individuals
- Brewitt alright. But Flynn didn't know if he was concussed.
- Minturn was absolutely superb against Matt Smith. He's put a marker down for Tuesday
