    Parking the bus means you defend for 90 minutes and hope for a one off chance. That's not what we did.

    Agree. We nullified them. Let them pi$$ around with it in their own half, snuffed out their efforts and (for once) took enough of our chances. Agree with @WilsdenBantam@WilsdenBantam though - it will be an up and down season.

    You clearly don't understand the term Park the bus. No worries.

    We are not better than Swindon Town! They have
    I think some of us are struggling to put into words the truth. Yes we are a poor side (the brain dead will say different) but we are a league two side, all of which are poor! That’s why it’s league two, scrappy, turbulent and unpredictable. Be grateful of an unexpected win and keep your fingers crossed for a win on Saturday. That’s where we are at. League two, the basement division before non-league football.

    Thought it was a solid defensive away performance today against a good team who were totally unable to break us down despite having the lions share of possession. We've missed Canavan at the back really pleased to see him back in the team. Should really have been 4 or 5 nil Adams got it spot on today. Please to see Lavery and Theo get off the mark let's hope that gives them confidence and they can kick on.

    Completely agree, one result doesn't paper over our inadequacies. Thing that pleases me most is seeing both Robinson and Lavery score. Robinson especially due to the comments posted on the likes of here. First time the bloody manager has given Lavery a start and he has a good game.

    If you are off the field without refs permission you are deemed to be stood on the dead ball line.
    Just prevents players stepping off field to catch a player offside.

    I think some people are struggling to read English. My comments on this thread are based on today's performance and that alone. Not what anyone's respective place in the table is.
    Today we were the better side. None of this parking the bus bollocks. We nullified an attacking side and created numerous chances of which we took three. They created pretty much next to nothing. Do note that makes no difference to next week which we might lose 4 nil.

    of which next week we will likely lose 4-0 - that’s league two for you. I really do hope though that people aren’t getting too excited about the Theo Robinson goal, that was a fluke - an isolated incident in my opinion.

    Agree. Fantastic to see Robinson and Lavery score.

    Always good to get individual's morale on the up.

    Parking the bus, is putting everyone behind the ball and keeping it that way. Men behind the ball and staying compact, then breaking at every opportunity isn't parking the bus.

    Fantastic performance today, everyone playing their hearts out. And plaudits to Adams for his selection. Two things stand out for me, namely how different the defence looks when Canavan is there and how we look a different side with two up front. Specially pleased for Lavery and Robinson whom most people, including me, had written off. Let's hope we can build on this.

    Rogered I agree and even our poor players did there bit. When they kept mentioning their players I gulped a few times. Lots of quality on the park. Well done adams mix it up more often please. Vernham will be chomping at the bit next game.

    That's a bit harsh. He has hardly had enough minutes on the pitch to level such an accusation at him.
    It was a really well taken goal. I hope that means he gets more minutes on the pitch so he can score some more.

    Oversimplified version of parking the bus

    Parking the bus just means men behind the ball at all times not that you aren't allowed to lump the ball forward to an isolated striker come on

    You and @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart appear to be describing a tactic where you aren't allowed to attack and you're hoping not to win that's not a tactic lol nobody sets up to never attack and hope not to score come on guys haha

    I don’t believe he was in front as you indicate Park.

    5-3-2 solid as a rock!

    That was a terrific away performance. Defensively we were very very good and always looked a threat on the counter. Lavery and Canavan both came in and had great games and what a goal from Robinson with his first touch! Cook can't do it all by himself so great to see the other 2 strikers open their accounts.

    For all Swindon's possession they rarely caused us any serious problems. ROD didn't have a great deal to do - good save from a free kick and a header in 90+5 but that was it. Only mistake we made was Paudie losing the flight of the ball and giving away a completely needless pen.

    Sutton has a phenomenal engine and drive through central midfield that is very rare these days - causes teams all sorts of problems
