Crewe vs Swindon Town Pre Match & Matchday Thread

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

Play offs.
Minimum requirement.

Should we be aiming higher than that based on today?
Still too early to say.

Personally, I think every year we don't get autos in this poxy division is a disaster.....but that is before you consider our ownership issues.

Very good today. Kilkenny turning on the quality that you need for a promotion winning team.

Munroe good and Palmers flicks and link up play was better than I was expecting, exactly what you want from a centre forward, so important with what we’ve lost with Smith out, feel with him in the side we can still play good, flowing football.

Impressed with Mabete again. Looks good and a talent to develop. Will have a conundrum when Tafazolli is fit enough to start, who drops out?

TWB been steady and I assume because of the loan will continue at LCB
Mabete doing well, developing well and our own player, would be harsh to be dropped out but assume it will be him
Wright hasn’t impressed defensively but can you drop a player like that out with what else they offer?

Early days in regards to the table toppers tag for Crewe but it’s a good sign to be able to go away to a team who have started well and dominate like today. We’ve not really seen the potential to do that before today.

No one,if we keep winning. Hopefully

Agree ideally don’t change a winning backline as long as it continues.

However, I think realistically Tafazolli plays when fit. IH made note of the reasons he was brought in and how our CB’s lack that. Outside of his aerial ability, his organisational side will be needed too.

Whether he’s fit enough to do long stretches of games is to be seen but it’s handy to have options to rotate.

Did anyone catch the number of away fans?

So, no more booming diagonal balls, no more searching out Harry Smith and hoping for the best and who would have thought that some players that looked distinctly average have blossomed into very decent L2 performers. Of course, it remains to be seen whether we can keep up this level of performance but,by God, it’s a good watch atm.

Bodin last week and Kilkenny this week both saying in their BBC interviews after the game how this style of play suits them much more.

Did anyone catch the number of away fans?

I'm sure I heard about 400 on the commentary.
