I'm not expecting Barca but I'm expecting us to complete. This second half we just haven't in any area. All we've done is hold Swindon off.
That's the plan, defend and hopefully spring a counter attack! |

This is a big problem with town for me. Passing aimlessly around untill they lose it going no where. When we work it down the wing we are all waiting for the cross which never comes. If your not going to cross it why waste all thoe passes for nothing. Midfield and defenders near the halfway line passing back to the goalkeeper who boots it aimlessly upfield. All the midfielders can pass it more accurately than mac as they are 20 yards further upfield, Rdiculous?
We got a goal today when a reall cross came in. If we had been doing that all through the game we might have won this game, We are nnot getting the best from this team. Newport got plenty of crosses in and should have scored more. Poor tactics IMO. If we seriously want to get into the playoffs i dont see it. |

Good point in the end.
Similar teams IMO .
Both a little short up front, both capable of moments of utterly awful defending.
If we are to play this contain and counter style we need genuine pace to deploy it, much prefer our higher press game.
Pitch seemed pretty bobbly today which didnt help some of our play. When Dennis went through at 1-1 i thought there was only going to be one outcome but he fluffed his lines.
Macca a couple of good saves, the 1v1 he won on the stroke of half time was fantastic.... but again looking shaky on the crosses, Swindon scored, hit the post and put one over all from crosses flighted in and around the 6 yd line.
Ohman...two crap challenges..two yellow cards all day long IMO but actually made us look a bit better...we have had plenty of practice at it i suppose.
A rare draw, another point, extended unbeaten, still in with an outside chance. UTM

Thought we were poor today till Swindon scored, Complete lack of pace at the back and missed RHJ defensively covering and attacking. Sat back far too much and let too many crosses into the box and allowed massses of space for them around 25 yrds out giving them chance to run at us. Pity Dennis missed his best chance but he has to start over Cook who has not looked like scoring last 2 games. Def 2 yellows for Ludwig. Good comeback but I think they were frail enough that if we had really gone for it at the beginning and showed attacking intent we would now have a positive goal difference.

The Ohman second yellow was almost the same as the one on Cook against Yeovil. That was a definite yellow and so was the one today Just a blatant deliberate block!

Yes but we weren't even close to sprinigng a counter attack. All we could do was hoof the ball clear under pressure for it to come straight back. Midfield were too deep and just allowed Swindon to dictate the game were as in previous games Yeovil and Newport and in parts Cheltenham. |

13 points from 15... I'd say the tactics are just fine! |

Blimey we have got some "wannabe sports journalists" on here havent we!
Whilst I value all opinions I dont agree we played poorly today. I know what poorly is and it wasnt today for me. That was several months under the bald one.
Can we play better...yes! Could we have lost it....yes. Could we have won it.....yes! Would we have deserved it....who cares!!
For me today was a perfect example of seeing the progress we have made and the progress we have yet to make. Two teams in the middle if the table in arguably the right positions but we are making progress slowly but surely. Great support today yet again

Bloody hell I wouldn't like to stand in your shadow. Their striker was tall - unless his stupid haircut made him look bigger. |
