Swindon Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[TSB]

Thought we were comfortable. Happy with that first half.

Concur. Swindon aiming to stifle us and play the same tactics, but we clearly have the better players. Hopefully will make it count in the second half. Think we're going to be pretty tough to beat this season, if not spectacular.

 

[Hyperion]

Is it me or has Noone lost a part of his game. In his early days he was happy cutting in with a stunning dribble and having a go at goal, now, we get him stopping, looking up, and putting in a poor cross in most cases.

I've always said football should be about entertainment not win at all costs. Yes winning is very very important but at what cost....Not £40 a ticket that's for sure. Glad I got a season ticket, at least that represents a certain value for money...I like to walk away and have plenty to talk about, not start f***ing yawning.

We just need to speed things up,dicker and harley seem to be non existent and dicker never looks to pass forward,glad we have lua lua,buckley and crofts to come back.

Feels like a flat pre-season friendly for the most part thus far.

Very easy 1st half.

2nd gear should see us through this.

 

[Mr Burns]

Second halfs started.

I'm sorted. I've slapped some paint on the wall behind the tellybox at half time

i've got entertainment options for the next hour

I would consider bringing Oatway on for Nooney, and sticking him upfront center with Vicente moving out wide.

 

[Ernest]

We need that goalscorer or this season will be the same as last season

 

[Hyperion]

The only criticism I have of Noone's game today is his crossing, which has been shocking - but he never has had a cross on him...

Yes agreed, but his willingness to cut into the box himself and frighten defenders around him seems to have gone

 

[dingodan]

Swindon not beaten at home in almost a year? Impressive.

I'm loving the way we are pinging them diagonal balls across the field.

 

[perseus]

Harley running into some good positions but not getting the ball.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

bugger!

 

[dingodan]

What a well worked free kick.

 

[Frutos]

Well worked, but appalling defending on our part.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Nicely worked free kick
