Swindon Town vs Chesterfield matchday thread #ClemItsTime

[Ginginho]

An ugly game, but great effort and commitment from the team and a deserved win.

Hopefully the player who got stretchered off makes a speedy recovery.
One of the paramedics assisting is a mate of mine and he said the player couldn’t feel his arms or legs.

Chesterfield tried to out shithouse the shithousers and failed.
Disappointed Smith didn't suplex more of them. Especially that Dobra cunt.

Can't wait to smash Walsall next week.

Hope Williams is ok. No post match from chesterfield because of it, but that might not mean much

[Wobbly Bob]

Excellent win.

Probably not how Chesterfield wanted to play the game.

Masterclass in turning over higher placed & potentially more technically gifted opposition in L2.

Haven't read back, so I said it first!

[Freeloader]

When I saw that the ref was Charles Breakspear, I shuddered.  The Chesterfield players conned him all afternoon. For example, Ryan Boot was faking injury for the penalty.  If he was as hurt as he looked, he would have been subbed.  He was moving freely as soon as Chesterfield were chasing the game.  I hope that the numerous travelling fans enjoyed seeing their team muck about all afternoon getting awarded numerous bogus free kicks; never taken from the correct location.

Brakespear. I did t know. It all makes sense now.

If Boot has gone to kick the ball full force & ended up kicking the bottom of Tshimanga’a boot / studs - then that will fucking hurt on impact.

Seemingly go away with the adrenaline of the game but balloon up the second you take your boot off…

A win is a win, and in terms of chances, we shaded it, if you think of Smith and Butterworth both being clear in the 2nd half.

Very strange selection, but it did the job. I thought Ofoborh and Kilkenny were better than the rest, but I wasn’t convinced by either full back. I’d prefer to see McGregor further forward, where Cotterill was playing, and have Sobowale at full back. The three of Cotterill - Cain - Tshimanga should ideally have been McGregor - Nichols - Butterworth. But 3 points feels good when you’re not firing on all cylinders.

I really hope that isn’t the case. I didn’t see the incident, but, having had a serious neck injury myself, I shudder to think about what that player might be going through

I don’t care about the game or the result - I just want him to be OK.

Definitely saw the physio stroke his hand as if to work out if there was any feeling. It looked nasty - made worse by the fact I don't think he saw the collision coming and couldn't brace himself for it. Hope he's OK.

Anyone know how long Delaney is out for?

[Jimmy Quinn]

Holloway said in the pre-match interview Delaney should be available for the next game (Walsall)

Cheers. Good news!

Chesterfield barely laid a glove. Never felt worried. Dobra their only danger man.

On the opening day of the season they looked relatively tidy, thought they'd challenge the playoffs. Very ordinary today.

We did what we had to. Considering the injuries and line-up, surprised we dug out a win.

Cain rewarded with a shot at the #10 after some fine performances at left back. It didn't work. Not something I hope to see again.

All the defence were good, midfield were ok. Attacking 4 all struggled. Fair play to Freckleton and you'd never had known Clarke has spent 99% of his career in the middle of the park. Looked a natural CB.

We are better with Butterworth in the team. I don't have any statistic to back that up other than the eye test. He can drive us forward. We need that in a squad lacking pace.
