Well.....

[Oreyt]

.....wow.

 

[yuley82]

For 20mins of 95 we was ok, the rest????

 

[davidpinder]

Howard at fault

Missed a few sitters

Should have had a pen

20-70 mins awful

 

[sportinguista]

Howard was also at fault for stopping the penalty, wasn't he?

 

[Selly]

Just goes to show you can't play well for the first 20 mind and the last 10 and expect to win.

We have never won an away play off game.

Although we have never HAD to win an away play off game before....

 

[LS5 Blade]

In conclusion they looked fitter, taller, more committed, and a lot more confident on the ball than us.

Monday could be fun now though...This seasons Plan A is out of the window! Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack!!!!!

Did play well but not clinical enough . Paid the price at the end of the day . Still in a game though and still can do it .

Got to sort out CB which never mind will be , it is our downfall .

Unlucky with Brayford.

Still optimistic , showed enough that we still have a chance.

Always UTB

Score then disappear, our tactical plan is genius

 

[William Large]

Positive play was the key to this match. Swindon play 3 at the back and in the first 20 mins we pressed, looked to go forward at every opportunity and they looked poor. Had we continued then I'm confident we would have won easily.
Instead of that, we sat back, conceded territory and After our goal we got a lesson. When Done came on we looked much better.
Why oh why do we play Davies on his own? His goals per game record is atrocious. McNulty must wonder what the fuck is going on. The lad can finish. Davies clearly cannot.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Sounds like we lost the midfield when Basham moved out due to a lack of centre backs...or is that can of worms stale?

 

[e17blade]

Thought Swindon were quite impressive after the first 20 minutes.

Basham dropping back changed it massively. We need him in midfield.

Couldn't motivate myself to go tonight. Lost 1-2 now there's a fucking surprise, who'd have thunk it ? Irrespective of what happens at Swindon, and we could win, we've deserved nothing from this season.

Crewe, Fleetwood, Swindon, all 1-2 defeats against the mighty Blades. I'm disappointed but that's tempered by the reality that it's so predictable and not unexpected. I don't know if Cloughs up to the job or not, that's for the Board, owner, and fans much more knowledgeable about the game than I am. I know I couldn't face going to night because we never look like beating anybody, lately Bradford, Chesterfield, Crewe, Fleetwood. No player provides that spark to get you going, Harris gives away a penalty like he's given so many fouls away lately, sticking his leg out almost as if he's too lazy to chase or not intelligent enough to realise he's being stupid.

Not even depressed just resigned

Roll on next season

 

[William Large]

The spine of our team is just too weak. Coutts and Holt were invisible for most of it. We need to play an attacking 442 in the second leg. Get Doyle back in with Done and mcnulty up top.

 

[Foxy]

Instead of that, we sat back, conceded territory and After our goal we got a lesson.

I thought we actually gave them too much space after we scored because we left Flynn and Murphy in advanced positions instead of sitting in a little more, especially when Brayford dropped a yard while struggling.

Second half was a different animal and mainly down to moving Bash.

 

[jt64]

Amazing for 25, garbage there after, ref certainly didn't help but what the hell is with out conditioning? Looked fucked after an hour. Clough out

I think that we invited them onto us and didn't have any attacking intent at all. In moving Basham he replaced him with scougall which was a massive mistake. Surely Doyle should have been brought in. Scougall looked lost.

 

[ziggy4001]

Scougall has looked lost all season. Him and Holt in the midfield is actually laughable at times. Talk about boys vs men hahahaha

I thought Swindon looked bang average for most of the match but when you let any team have enough time on the ball they will look top draw.

You clearly didn't watch it, passion and desire were ever present. Luck was lacking a wee bit but that's about it
