Great result, well done Stanley, players, staff and fans.

Re: Swindon Town Match Thread
 

we started badly and grew into the game, against a very dangerous also very dirty Swindon side, thought every man put a shift in and we deserved the 3 Pts.

Re: Swindon Town Match Thread
 

Don't know where to start, yes we were a bit shaky at first but once we got going - wow, just wow!!
Well deserved win, Swindon press said at start of the game that we had a 'brute of a centre half' - well, if we had one brute they had a lot more - disgusting dirty tactics from a team who shouldn't need to employ them as they looked a decent footballing side but then again with Flitcroft in charge . . . . . .
Hope Sean is ok, he looked dazed after that second assault (sorry, challenge :eek:)
Apparently Westley was at the game tonight, maybe he'd given Swindon some tips :rolleyes
Brilliant atmosphere tonight - glory days are back!

Roll on Saturday, can't wait to be sent to Coventry!

Re: Swindon Town Match Thread
 

A vital 3 points against one of the stronger promotion contenders.
Disappointed both Big Ben & Rodgers were not in the starting eleven, especially after a rather nervy start.
Kee's penalty seemed to settle our nerves & when Jackson put us 2-0 up, we moved into 2nd automatic spot.
Their penalty moved us back to 3rd below Wycombe, but hey-ho! it could have been worse if the blighters had managed to equalise.
The important thing is that we've managed to win our game in hand.
Another battling display by the whole team with Captain McConville & Kee on the receiving end of some atrocious fouls.
Well done to the club for making sure the game went ahead & well done to our players for keeping our dream alive.

Re: Swindon Town Match Thread
 

Echo previous comments by cashy and accy mad about hard fort win against tough opposition. Very good team performance particularly defensive. We stood upto a firm examination mainly aerially (which in our are early back in football league years we would have struggled with) and mainly kept discipline when Swindon resorted to crude fouls. Impressed how we used kayden's pace to counter attack to in second half. Let's just keep grinding out the 3 point results! I was pleased how we sung the team home last 10 minutes.

Re: Swindon Town Match Thread
 

MOTM award must surely go to the REFEREE tonight..........
"MUPPET" OF THE MATCH ....that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pain30::cool:

Re: Swindon Town Match Thread
 

It was indeed a very hard earned three points tonight against a team basically made of CHEATS and officiated by a DISGRACE of a REFEREE!:eek::eek::eek:
The number of fouls that Swindon got a way with in the first half for basically 'Pushing' opponents off the ball was unbelievable! The ref could have controlled this better by booking a Swindon player after 20 or 25 minutes. Well it certainly bit the Ref in 'The Bum' in the second half because by that time he had lost control of the players totally. :dflam::dflam::dflam:To the credit of the Stanley players they continued to try to play proper football and fully deserved the victory. All of our front players defended from the front superbly, constantly chasing 'lost causes' in order to disrupt Swindon from building their attacks. You would not have believed that Jordan Clarke was a doubt for the match as he worked so hard. Kayden too ran himself into the ground once again and was really tired before he was subbed. I am so pleased that he got his goal which he took wonderfully from a great pass from Captain Sean. Sean had a super match too and he was all over the pitch filling in defensively and linking well going forward. Billy Kee....well he was just "BILLY"....... the Billy that we all love......Brave, Strong and Skilful and his penalty was taken with aplomb, sending their keeper so far the wrong way that he could have been on the other side of the moon! :theband:
The young lads in the team too played wonderfully well and are showing the total commitment shown by our more senior players. Liam, Callum and Jimmy are all showing how they can deal with the extra pressures of playing against seasoned professionals who know how to manipulate referees. Jimmy was particularly strong :hidewall:against the very dangerous and clever Marc Richards.:ninja8:
Scotty nearly scored a cracker just before half time. Janoi was his usual athletic self and covered really well across the back of our defence when needed. Hughesey had a couple of dodgy moments early on when he kept demanding the short pass out from Chapman. Eventually Aaron reduced the risk by adopting more of a long kick to Billy approach which seemed to be more sensible on the dodgy pitch. Aaron too made a couple of important saves especially the one from that long 'Pot shot' that could have been creeping inside the post. Aaron's kicks upfield to Billy are very accurate and help us to keep the pressure on our opponents.:wave8:
I get so frustrated with the inconsistency of referees at our level but our team are certainly showing the CHARACTER that is needed to overcome these referees ineptitude and to press onwards towards the top of the division!
Really well done to the team and John and Jimmy for overcoming such difficult opponents, and a yet another poor referee, and continuing our drive towards greater heights.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON.:mosher:
WE SHALL OVERCOME.:mosher:
KEEP THE FAITH.:mosher:
NOW SEND US TO COVENTRY!:mosher:

ps Well done to Buzza and his helpers for making sure that the pitch was playable. It is really heavy work dragging those covers on and off the pitch every few days at this time of the year!:wave8:
