Swindon Town v Shrewsbury Town Matchday Thread

[Batch]

Why is Holloway such a fun sponge. It was a largely good performance and everyone went home with a smile on their face

But oh no, that's no good. Better have pop at them telling them how to think and behave.

Fuck off

Shrewsbury forum: "I'd love to have a keeper like Ripley!"  Nuff said.

Think anyone with any sense knows that.

[DV]

I don’t think anyone thinks Ripley is a bad keeper just that he’s not started this season at the same level he finished last season.

Some of that will be rust, some of that will be lack of challenging pre season, some will be new defenders, some of that will be his alleged part time training schedule.

[DV]

Also some of that will be last season we compared Ripley to Bycroft where as this season we are comparing Ripley to Ripley…

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Ollie just needs to cut out these stupid rants

It’s just creating unnecessary noise

I agree. There are certain facts of life we have to accept, such as people making moronic comments on social media and people making comments at football matches that we don't personally agree with...but you've just got to not take them to heart. I love his passion, that's something you can't fake but he shouldn't get so angry over stuff he can't control and ultimately doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

Unlike a lot of people, I actually enjoy his interviews most of the time and don't mind when he goes off on a tangent and into full on 'Ollie mode'...I had to turn him off today though. I just wanted him to talk about the game and stop preaching...

Ripley was indeed very good, they certainly weren't without chances.

I said before I worried about mabete, I thought he was outstanding today. My mom

I love Ollie, he's one of my all time favourite Town managers but yeah...I completely agree...

Zippy made him MOM as well

I said it the other day, I've not seen a better keeper in L2. MKD keeper today was fucking terrible

Went with little expectation - left with a bit more hope. Enjoyable game, played some terrific football.

Thought Matete was excellent on his first start. Kept it simple, got stuck in and was brave. Couple of hairy moments.

Will Wight’s best performance this season.

Ripley excellent.

Glatzel and Drinan worked so hard.

Nice cameo from Buttermymuffinworth.

Shrews defending was dreadful - gave the ball away with gay abandon. Their keeper was a major offender.

I haven’t heard the BBC Wilts interview where Ollie has is usual rant but theres nothing but praise for the players and chairman in the clip below.

Shrews lacked self belief and playing for each other.  When they get sorted, they wil be tough to beat.

The ex-scummer will be gone by then.

I’m trying to work out why the Shrews goal wasn’t ruled out for offside. Cross comes in then is headed onto the back of a player who’s seemingly only got Nichols between him and the goal.
