Swindon Town vs Cambridge United Matchday Thread

[Nomoreheroes]

Holloway:
- Well done to the lads. They dug in
- Didnt like the performance. Didnt like the day.
- Expected us to get another goal. Their manager changed it and I didnt like us again
- We panicked. Just like the bad days of last year
- Expect the players to talk. Didnt want to have the bench shout all the time
- Wasnt kidding about Smith. Didnt think he would play
- Tried protecting the bench
- When we scored the 3rd, the players thought they had won
- Referee gave us help. Their management were irate that he didnt play on when their player was through
- All that matters is we have 3 points in the bag
- My team needs to know what every player should be doing and help eachother. They aren't doing it. Holloway has just gone ballistic at them over that
- Before throw ins the senior player need to tell the young ones where to go.
- Want to work on the fact that we wont have to dig in.
- We had lots of big players back hanging on. We knew what to do to hang on against a manager whose team never give up
- If the players did what we told them, we would never have been 1-0 down
- Players need to tell eachother where to go when there is a throw in.
- We didnt wobble. We always looked like we were going to score
- Distribution from the back was better this week
- Shocked at my team. If I was out there, I wouldnt have let the young uns make those mistakes
- They've worked with me long enough now. They should know by now!
- Got through training yesterday and Smith felt he could play. Glad he did. Good header for goal. He didn't train all week. Came in on friday, plays on Saturday and scores!
- Didnt want to see them straight after the game. Waited for the team to shower and change. Got the staff out of there and then gave the players a roasting! (Holloway was really irate)
- They need to stand up and take responsibility out there.
- Lack of communication. Took Munroe off when Drinan needed to go off
- Told Ameen to just stand up front and let the others defend
- Didnt enjoy it. Enjoyed last week more. The game is crazy. Glad we are going to score goals. But dont want team limping off hanging onto something. I want them to score more.
- Well done to them. Their manager made it hard for us
- McGregor could have been part of it. But thinks he needs some minutes to make it safer for him. He is completely flat out and doesnt do anything by halfs. So thought he'd protect him today
- There will be another player here on Monday. That was the last one they will add to the squad. Holloway cant pronounce his last name. Lots of letters that shouldn't be next to eachother. A good scrabble score. Letters in surname include 'MH'.

Just got back. Didn’t play well, never had control of the game.

Weird game all round. Don’t remember Ripley making a save and their keeper only the one in the first half.

Drinan is unspectacularly good for this team. Wilson-Brown my MofM.

Need to be a lot better than that to have a sniff.

I will be glad to not have to listen to this pair of Cambridge commentators again, it's like Stadler and Waldorf

Haven’t heard comms that shite and deluded since Wrexhams.

The fact he referred to Cambridge’s kit as ‘cream with emerald city green sleeves’ did it for me. Sounded like two blokes down a pub watching it, drinking warm ale

Just home, not a great performance but a much needed win.

We were just discussing whether Snowdon was actually a footballer when he produced a great cross for goal number 2.
Drinan was at his best (like the end of last season).

Wonder if the new player is Anis Mehmeti (left winger from Bristol City) based on Holloway's clues?

[Wobbly Bob]

Important win.
Massive room for improvement which Holloway recognises.

A win is a win.

[tans]

My guess for the signing is

Princewill Ehibhatiomh

He's literally playing for Bristol City at the moment, I wouldn't have thought so.

Oh well - That's what happens when you ask an LLM to come up with an answer!

 

[Bob's Orange]

Oh well - That's what happens when you ask an LLM to come up with an answer!

 

And he's just scored as well. What were the clues by the way?

[Pericardinho]

My guess for the signing is

Princewill Ehibhatiomh

That's a great shout tbf.

[Nemo]

That's a great shout tbf.

You'd do well to shout it!

[Pericardinho]

You'd do well to shout it!

In all seriousness, what on earth do we actually call him if he signs?

[Jimmy Quinn]

Just Prince

[Nemo]

Princewill is completely achievable.

Maybe the Duke of Cambridge?
