Swindon Town v Tranmere Rovers matchday thread

[Nomoreheroes]

Glatzel:
- Holloway said 'There will be chances now' so delighted to come on and get a goal
- They sat back after early lead. Tough to break them down
- At the moment the next game is always the biggest. Carlisle away next week will be another tough one
- Holloway big on team mentality. We have all bought into it

[Super Hans]

EIEIEI...No not yet calm down.

Brilliant win though. Holloway deserves massive credit for turning this around.

[Batch]

80 minutes of dour football followed by 10 minutes of winning football.

Actually that's a bit unfair. We started the second half with a better pace and intensity but eventually started to revert to the first half play.

But a great win. 16/18 points at home better only by Walsall and Bradford. Fortress county ground

[4D]

Is this your first game?

Sounds like you're easily pleased, we were woeful for 70 mins.

Holloway:
- Difficult evening for us. They changed shape which caught us on the hop a bit
- Unforgiveable that they scored from a throw.
- Knocked the stuffing out of us
- Didnt understand where our space was and luckily got to 1/2 time
- Talked about front 3 linking and put an extra midfielder wide
- Whoever came on knew how Holloway want them to play
- Thought they kicked us lots
- We managed to utilise the extra man
- Everyone played their part
- Thats why we need different skillsets to break teams down
- Delighted that we got the equaliser when we did as we had enough time to capitalise on the momentum
- We deserved that. Holloway didnt like some of the things out there
- The ref should have disciplined one of the first awful tackles that he didnt
- Some of that stuff up and around the edge of the box was excellent
- Nicholls will make goals for others
- What Tshimanga did around the edge of the box was excellent
- Gladzel: really pleased for him. He has got so much about him
- Fantastic come back. We absolutely deserved it
- Still loved to have more options
- And managed to rest Ofoborh and Nicholls
- Pleased with the togetherness. They have taken it on board and they are playing for the badge
- Really chuffed today
- If they can just stick to what the coaches are telling them. They were trying to play like Real ?Madrid in the first half, and we aint Real Madrid!
- The belief is growing in the dressing room
- Well done to everyone and thank you to the supporters for coming out on a night like that. Would love the 1500 who were there last year to come back. Holloway commented that he would pay to watch this team himself.
- We wouldn't have been strong enough or mentally tough enough to cope with that earlier in the year
- Wouldn't swop any of the Town players with any of theirs
- Butterworth was desperate to show what he can do
- Just have to keep going
- We didnt look like we were going to wobble. We just looked like we didn't know how to break them down. Once they had a man sent off, we murdered them.

We deserved to win on the 2nd half showing - although I thought it was going to be one of those games when we wouldn’t score. The first red was crucial - crazy tackle when on a yellow, but we made the advantage count.
Holloway’s changes weren’t subtle - put on attackers and get the ball in their box to force mistakes - ultimately paid off.

We got 3 points.

Goodnight

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Sounds like you're easily pleased, we were woeful for 70 mins.

Totally irrelevant...

Batch said pretty much the same thing  
I ain't wrong.

[Batch]

It was poor. The sending off helped. Then the subs helped even more.

I don't care. We won. That's what matters

[FormerlyPlymRed]

The atmosphere at points tonight was fantastic, I haven't seen goals celebrated in the TE like that for sometime.

Shit first 75 or so, but 3 points huge.

Tranmere bloody awful

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

Nice to see us actually improve vs 10 men.

Remember under kennedy when our oppo had an outfield player in goal and we decided to just not bother shooting.

It was that moment I was convinced we were down if he stayed.

[adje]

Harry Smith. The gift that keeps on giving

[Jimmy Quinn]

Hats off to Holloway for instilling belief into the players.

[Oaksey Moonraker]

That was like a Macari team just kept going and going until they cracked and then went for the jugular.

Josh Davison's sarcastic clap looking a bit silly now. Harry Smith showing him how to do shithousery after that early booking. Got the centre half sent off, a wave off and pokes in the winner.
