reaction from todays game...

[STFCere]

well done. good performance held on well under 2nd half pressure and should have come away with all the points having wasted two great chances. having said that they did hit the bar and had a lot of pressure in the second half. but to come away with a point is a good result and hopefully we can build on it

evans 9 - some great saves kept us in it espec. the one he tipped over the bard IMO, an improvement on heaton

smith 6 - average nothing really to report before he went off

nicholas 7 - did well, had a few decent runs forward and pressured his man well

ifil 6- good tackler but can someone please tell him how to pass??

o'hanlon 7 - solid led from the back

shakes 6- ok, his lack of close control really lets him down. good pace took in the defenders but serious lack of ball control

brown 6- ok again nothing great. seems to be lacking a bit of fitness and bite

migz 10- MOM our only real decent passer and holder of the ball. when he looks like he'll lose it he always recovers, great composure, vision and spreads the play well. we need him every game

gurney 7- typical gurney always diving in and conceding free kicks. but on the whole he did well and IMO is better than pook hope he stays

holgate 6- nothing special i think its too early for him to be playing

fallon 7- seems to have gone off the boil a bit recently excellent in the air but sometimes i feel thats not an asset, it encourages everyone else to just hoof and hope up to fallon

subs

jenkins 7- better than smith should be starting ahead of him really

bouazza 6- dont think we'll miss him much

CPlatt 6- didnt really have time to assert himself, but we know hes a good player so should be up for it at h'pool

Thought Migz did well but he did get badly robbed of the ball a couple of times ...

[Boeta]

ifil 6??! generous. i'd say minus 5 for the first half and 5 for the second levelling out a zero

shakes and brown were both 7s for me

holgate was as good as fallon - i like the look of him

[DV]

I dont think Migz was our best player, I also thought Ifil played better than SeanO

[STFCere]

holgate did nothing! neither did brown or shakes

i guess i could take ifil down to a 5, he tackles well but his distribution is awful

good one  :roll:

Were you watching the same Ifil as me, as in the one that didnt let the leagues top scorer get a single shot in, how fucking awful

[Boeta]

holgate got absolutely no servive. he looked more committed than fallon to me. and what a fuckin hairstyle

[Melksham Red]

A good point that was well battled for. I would have took that before the game. Swansea had more quality than us but the one thing Iffy has changed since AK left is that we are now hard to beat. I just wish we had a little more quality in the final third.

[STFCere]

still, he didnt actually achieve anything! did he? what do we do now? keep holgate in, cause bouazzawazza is going back, roberts is crap. cureton cannot and wont suceed in our team cause of our bloody annoyin hoof ball shite. holgate it is then

They started singing gypo at him at one point.

Thought the Town End chant of "rain in a minute, it's going to rain in a minute" was inspired.

[Melksham Red]

I couldn't hear the Townend today. Pretty shite to be honest.

who did achieve anything other than evans?

unfortunately there is no-one in this swindon team other than migs with any class. its about being organised and committed which holgate is - top attributes for an 18 year old, when his senior partner was lacking both until the last 10 minutes

[DV]

anyone who went to chesterfield will tell you Holgate has alot to offer, I just think he isnt physically big enough for this division yet....some points the Swansea defenders were raping him!!

think you're absolutely bang on there.

we're very difficult to beat but lack a clinical finisher, we create chances - although not very many - but have nobody to put them away. parkin was the difference between midtable last season and relegation zone this season.

Agreed. Migs is the only player with real class. Without him we would be fucked. People bang on about fallon but for me Migs is the player who makes us tick. It's no coincidence that we have picked up results recently with Migs playing reguraly.
