Swindon thread

..a little trivial observation, only 2 corners so far in the game-usually we end up with well over 12...

Also pleased to see Savin back - he's done nothing whatsoever to warrant losing the shirt - and he read every potential threat today with confidence and imagination. Baxter is superb also but from remarks in commentary on Tuesday night he seems to be a model pro who takes the manager's decision in absolutely the right spirit - he will get his chance in due course....

I also thought Seamus had a great game today - he broke up the Cobblers' possession on countless occasions whilst Pritchard with improves every match. There were many others I could mention...

I was hugely impressed by the spirit and energy today - having caught the bloody virus myself three weeks ago I'm still shattered a lot of the time - and if 19 of the boys had it recovery time among them will vary massively. In short I thought we were far superior today against a side not short of decent, experienced League 1 pros who were made to look average at best. Keith Curle wore an expression of utter bewilderment at the final whistle - and it wasn't just because of the limited skills of the referee.

John, John and Jimmy seem to have done it again - created a formidable team overnight from dust. Their effort and attitude is exemplary. At times Mrs Darrener and I have to pinch ourselves. Some folk need to start to realise how blessed we are to support this extraordinary club, not least at times like these...."


I refer my honourable friends to the remarks I shared after the Cobblers game.
A masterclass. Conneelly and Charles outstanding again. Savin's magnificent early save a catalyst that's easy to forget. One of the best performances I've ever witnessed from a Stanley team. Another manager left with a perplexed look.....

Forget lockdown - Christmas has come early to this part of East Lancs......
 
An excellent result for Stanley. Sounds like a confident performance from all of the lads tonight. Perhaps Joe Pritchard was our MOM for his creativity but sounds like Dion Charles worked his socks off again and Seamus played a real Captain’s role. Credit the defence too for keeping a clean sheet. The team seems to be starting to develop a level of consistency and confidence which bodes well for the future. I hope that Colby Bishop can shrug off his injury but it would seem that Lewis Mansell would make good cover at centre forward. Swindon had more possession in the second half but Stanley still seemed the more likely to score.:mosher::jimbo:
ON STANLEY ON.:theband:
UPWARDS AND ONWARD.:theband:

Just wish we could all be there and watch it live and be allowed to show our support and appreciation!

I managed to get the first half, then nothing at all in the second. Don't think I'll bother again.

Shame it's such a **** platform, after 22 minutes I saw the rest of the game all played well but Pritchard man of the match for me again carries on like this and we are towards top end will be a lot of interest in him January along with the strong interest being shown in Savin from Southampton.

We should put a £1,000,000 minimum price tag on all of our players now!:alright:
 
Seamus played very well, star man, also young Russell, all worked hard off the ball. Prichard is very greedy should pass more but shouldn’t moan too much. But a great team performance well done the boys!!
