Cheltenham Town vs Swindon Town MDT

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

More Blarney....can't stand listening to him...

[Quagmire]

The bloke really is a fucking idiot, isn’t he?

[Legends-Lounge]

Get yer blah blah bahs out of the way people.
This was a magnificent victory & the ownership are still very much well below sub par. Nothing changes.

We move onto a much sterner test on Saturday regardless of the intervening blarney.

This is the conundrum isn’t it. I’ll be honest, I wanted us to get spanked on one hand and win on the other. If we get spanked, it puts more pressure on the regime, if we win, it papers over the cracks and prolongs the agony.

Att: 5,561 (Swindon not announced yet)

I'm so happy. For a few hrs, I'm putting the Morfuni/MK nexus of incompetence out of my mind. And I'm going to enjoy the win.

Do this again, repeatedly, and the dial moves. Wouldn't it be lovely if that happened?

[BoA Vagabond]

Probably my only away game this season and not only do we win but I meet Rockin Robin too! Living the dream!!
Shit game quality-wise but for now I care not. You Redssss!!

Absolutely. We can only dream right? Is that 4 unbeaten?!  Donny on Saturday may well be the unsolicited piss on our short lived parade.

Don’t get that - I never want us to loose. If we are winning and successful there is no agony.

I don't know. There was some real quality in our first 2 goals

[swindon74]

Superb away win! A vital 3 points! Can someone with a bit more footballing nouse then me, explain what them substitutions were? We were cruising, I don’t understand the thinking behind it, did he get questioned on it after the game?

This.

[DV]

He did. I had the interview on whilst driving with a very chatty 6 year old in the back so might have missed bits.

Clarke wasn’t fit to do a whole game. He was always going to come off. One of the plans if MK thought the game required extra height was Minturn on & Wright into midfield (which is what they did) [not even gonna get started on how the other week Minturn was struggling to defend set pieces & this week you bring him on in a game you think the opposition are going to go direct chasing the game]

Just the physical nature & the fact we were defending as they bombed forward he felt it wasn’t a game for small technical players hence why Cain wasn’t used & neither was the Wizard Sean McGurk (you could argue that in a game when you’re under the cosh players you can keep the ball or run forward with it help)

I don’t remember him saying much (or rather being questions much) about the other subs but it’s possible he did & I missed it.

Assuming that Clarke was taken off because he has just come back from injury & they didn’t want to risk him for more than 60mins, and Ofoborh was blowing out his arse. The weird thing was moving Wright into midfield

I have to disagree on some of that, I thought Ofoborh looked still perfectly fine to carry on and he seemed angry that he was taken off too.

As for moving Wright to midfield that was stupid when you had McGurk AND Cain on the bench, both of who are natural midfielders.

Again Kennedy tries to square peg a round hole, very poor management IMO.

Then overloading the defence rather than playing our natural game, defenders were getting in the way of each other causing confusion.

Also, please dont play Glatzel again as a lone striker, winning balls hoofed up to him is not his game, he did well considering but thats just not his style especially when you had Ameen on the bench as a natural partner rather than the innefective Butterworth who only started playing when Ameen came on.

When we kept the ball on the deck we looked a level above Cheltenham, the thing is though we only played that way for short spells then resorted to hoofing it up the pitch again.
