You have to point the finger at the Swindon.management for making their extra substitution while defending a corner. Their defenders were clearly not set up for it
We weren't expected to get a result but 3 points away at Swindon is an incredible result, up to 6th in the table, the big disappointment is O'Reilly going off, the injury room is filling up, but Thomas is supposed to be fit for Tranmere and Lankaster is back in training full time so he should be available for Bristol Rovers, Sanders and Tezgel are not far behind, but enjoy the result the Alex are back.
Yes that was a poor idea from them in hindsight. I?m very pleasantly surprised by the result. I think we maybe played them on the right day, first 60mins or so were ours, but when they tried to get back into it we had to weather that and did so well. Really important result so we must now win the ?easy? ones we expect to win. It will take two to three weeks before all of these games in hand are played by others so we can see where we are.
Well, what a performance. I'm so happy to see my prediction being so far off the mark. After some of the 'hardworking' performances, it was so good to see some of the football they produced. Powell had a really good game. He's clearly practised his dead ball kicks since Tuesday. Thibaut is growing into his role. Holicek showed up a bit more and was very calm with his finish. Connolly seemed to enjoy himself a bit more with the 'bloodied warrior' image.
I know a lot of people are ecstatic about Lawlor's save near the end but, to my mind, he should have been coming for the original cross, not to mention the cross for the goal scored from a couple of yards out.
Overall a pleasing, if somewhat surprising, performance/result.
Tranmere at home next Saturday. Will we see a similar performance?
I thought Holicek was very good again, Powell's best game for us in a long time and the much maligned Connolly had a good game. In fact, Pond was the one who looked to be struggling a bit. A good performance all round by the team and managed to chisel out a result that few of us expected. March works tirelessly and Thibaut looked good again. A lovely ball to set Holicek up for the opening goal. We were the better side for an hour and then when they scored we were on the back foot a bit but mainly because they were pressing to equalise. Fortunately the defence held firm.
