Swindon v Barnet Matchday Thread

[Peter Venkman]

Changes needed, Drinan started well but has drifted off in the last 20.

Fuck me, I should have stayed at home 

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Utterly pathetic. We'd be three down to a half decent side...

[theakston2k]

What a dreadful first 45, both teams poor but we have been especially bad and really should be behind. We’ve got no midfield, no creativity and no pace other than a couple of individual bursts.

If Kilkenny is remotely fit he needs to come on.

Still difficult to form any kind of opinion about this team having played the 2 promoted teams and a relegated team none of which look likely to be challenging the upper reaches.

They could say exactly the same thing to be fair

[Ides of March]

Felt like an Oldhamish start, where we just didn’t take the couple of chances we got this time. Since then, absolute dross. Barnet are a poor excuse of a League side but we have actually made them look half decent at times. Midfield is far far too open which has been a problem so far this season. Needs addressing big time. On the plus side, thought McGregor looked lively

I’d like to see Butterworth on as one of the front 3.

Probably for Princewill based on that half.

We should've been 3 nil up first!

We really fizzled out that half. That’s without having started that well either.

Thought we looked far better when passing through the midfield rather than bypassing it, but what do I know.

Would be tempted to swap Drinan and Prince over. That Kanu is doing a great job of keeping the ball off of Prince. Would also like an extra body in the midfield, but I expect we will see the same shape, but hopefully a better version 2nd half.

At least Butterworth runs with the ball which Barnet struggle with, Drinan definately took a knock when he had a shot but Prince also a bit off the pace up front.

Prince - we aren’t getting the ball to his feet + he’s playing high up.

I think Butterworth would start a bit deeper thus more likely to get the ball & be able to get a bit of forward momentum before getting to their full back (who is right on Prince every time he gets the ball)

[Peter Venkman]

We look far better when running with the ball and Butterworth does like to run but we just dont seem to be winning anything in midfield so far, need another body in there too.

And on the few occasions we have,his touch has been terrible

[Peter Venkman]

Here we go, improvements needed.

McGregor seems to have gone to LWB from RWB and swapped with Snowdon.
