League 2 Watch

[Pericardinho]

Shit game.

Jamille Matt my word. Didn’t win a single thing all day. We don’t realise how lucky we are to have Harry Smith.

We’d have won those playoffs.

The only player on the pitch that showed an ounce of quality was Jake Reeves when he rarely got on the ball.

Concur it was a shit game & one January to April Swindon would have won…but…it’s also a bit harsh / unrealistic to judge the entire quality of both teams based on one (…or maybe 3 if you include the semi’s) winner takes all, usually cagey play off games.

I mean our ‘performance’ against PNE is probably up there as an all time absolute play off horror show but that team wasn’t completely shite because of that one game…

Odds are out now,  we’re 9/2 to be promoted, 16/1 to go up as champions.
Not over generous are they ?.

I get that.

But my opinion wasn't just solely based on that one game.

I've watched Walsall 4-5 times since the turn of the year. and they've been horrific virtually every time. We've played Wimbledon twice this season and picked up 4 points.

Those teams are not better than us. They deservedly finished above us, due to Kennedy, but as of today, I think we are better than both.

Done mine. All the ‘S’s!

Overall I think Wimbledon were a very solid, well organised unit with a fantastic defence and I'd rank them ahead of us quite easily.

Having said that though, they struggled with Harry Smith and I think had we snuck into the playoffs we'd have won them.

Agreed re: Smith.

Our smaller more mobile front 2 were OK, but it took Smith coming out of defence to win the home game.

For me, Wimbledon are not a good side and currently not as good as us. I can only think of maybe 2 of their players who would improve us, Reeves and Lewis.
However they are obviously effective

Neufville is good. Other than that I agree. I wouldn't swap many of their lot for ours. I know it sounds stupid as they've just been promoted. But I am dead serious.

They will probably take most of them up with them. Looking at Walsall they seem to have a lot of their first team tied up for next season. Although looking at the way the wheels fell off when Lowe went I'm not sure that necessarily makes them promotion challengers!

I agree, we were looking at Neufville in the Summer but chose to not sign him.

I would say that late season Swindon would have comfortably beaten both those sides in the play offs, They have no outstanding players at all, I would take Adomah from Walsall but hes old now and seemed to be their best attacking outlet.

Walsall are an odd one.

First half of the season, Conor Barrett was the best fullback in the league. Second half of the season he's been useless and even lost his place towards the end.

Charlie Lakin also was great and also lost his place as Sadler frantically searched for a plan B.

Allen and Williams at the back would make a very strong case to start for us.

I was dying for us to sign Lakin in the summer. He would have been the perfect Kemp replacement.

I'd also say late Swindon would beat Harrogate, Morecambe and Bromley.

Its a stupid league where anyone could beat anyone and when you think you've got it sussed, you learn otherwise.

Last 6 home : Town 12th
Last 6 away: Town 3rd

I mean wtf!

[Peter Venkman]

True that.
