    I'll take my constructive take on a player as opposed to your they're all rubbish unless they've proved themselves after 10 games any time of day.

    No, it dipped and swerved big style . It was in the middle of the goal which saved RoD

    Solid as a rock at the back they haven’t had one shot on goal except the free kick

    Good half. Direct and ugly but effective. Swindon look clueless and very dodgy at the back.

    I'll take my constructive take on a player as opposed to your they're all rubbish unless they've proved themselves after 10 games any time of day.

    But it's not me saying Gillihead has been rubbish all season. It makes it very easy to debunk that nonsense - as you only have to bother to remember that first half where Vernam, Sutton, Cooke and Gilliead all were key to the dominance.

    We now have a narrative that anything good he does is forgotten - but everything Vernam does wrong (virually all the Hartlepool game) is also forgotten.

    Thank goodness we have Adams as the manager as opposed to the way too overtly emotional bunch on these boards, who see one player in a set way - despite evidence to the contrary.

    Oh! By the way, I do agree that Vernam has been better than Gilliead this season. But it's not as wide as the Gilly knockers think it is.

    So you've declined to substantiate your comment twice now.

    That either means you have forgotten or you made it up in the first place.

    I rest my case.

    And yet we've had a manager insistent on not playing two strikers until today. If we win today we deserve the points unlike the games against Bristol and Hartlepool where we deserved just one.

    Playing well and looking solid, same again 2nd half. Good to see Adams making changes. If you don’t have a look at other players and formations, you’ll never know what you’re capable of.

    Gilliead has offered next to nothing as an attacking threat or assists this season, we can only go on what we see.

    I agree that he is good at carrying the ball forward and getting us up the pitch. But far too often he then does nothing with it - either runs into trouble and loses the ball, plays a misspass and loses possession or hits a pea roller shot. His end product is generally terrible.
    Yes, he flicked on for Lavery's goal today but he needs to create and score more goals.

    It's neither. He just ran out of tin foil.
