Didn;t their report say he scored a late equaliser for Swindon??? I read it, saw the headline and laughed at Sky.

 

Yet the Sky highlights show more of our 'chances' than yours.....

 

Exactly! We’ve been screaming from the rooftops about how boring we are and the lack of goal scoring threat from open play and here we have the league leaders creating absolutely feck all up front.

 

I would say that's a combination of a) your obviously strong defence and b) our seriously depleted defence, having to play Anthony Grant as a makeshift centre back, which he obviously isn't used to. Some of the decisions he made yesterday were not decisions a centre back would have made, such as bringing the ball down in situations when a centre back would have just headed it or lumped it away, hence giving you a couple of decent chances. Having said that, even if we had our strongest defence, it's probably the weakest part of our play and having played against similar teams, like Newport for example, we do indeed struggle to create as many chances and they beat us 2-0 at our place. I was happy with a point before the game and I'm happy with it now.

 

I think a great number of Swindon fans have summed up our play quite accurately. Our defence is very good but we are dreary to watch. It is effective and will probably be successful but it is a hard watch. Swindon did start lively but without a punch. They tired and the game was there to be won but Bowyer’s tactics are cautious and we went for it a bit too late. Thought Caddis had a great game.

 

Is that prophetic?

 

It was Darren Drysdale, I'd probably stop trying to understand anything that man does on a football pitch.

 

Didn’t think he got too much wrong to be fair

 

He went straight to the Swindon fans and celebrated to them, as did Connor Wood, cupping his ears etc. It’s really annoying when it happens at VP yet we never see anyone getting booked!

 

Great angle of the goal - absolute belter. I didn’t realise it was at Swindon he scored that wonder volley for Lincoln last season as well.

 

I'd back our way, to last the pace more than the pure footy. Sadly, as I admire the way the likes of them Crewe and Exter knock it around - it rarely works for getting out of this division

As we found out under Stuart, as the pitches get worse and the players get more weary as the season goes on - the more pragmatic methods win out

For instance I still think only one of those three will be in the automatic places

 

He was a bit naughty though - although Iiked it!! You can't do anything these days

 

We'll see things better when Donaldson comes back. As Park mentioned somewhere, we did score 8 in 4 when he was in the team and pretty certain one of those was the Swindon match. What we miss is his hold up play and occupation of defenders, which allows us to naturally attack higher up the pitch

 

He did play against Swindon. Vaughan didn't

 

Not just on a football pitch, he's the pillock who sent off Windass off in the car park isn't he?

Imagine being in a car park and seeing a grown man pull his cards out of his pocket. Crazy power obsessed freak.

At face value, I can't see how he has any future in reffing now.

Edit: I did a Drysdale search and this thread popped up. Feel free to move it to General Football, I won't be offended.
