Playoff 6 pointer (4th vs 5th) Swindon vs Carlisle | 10/08/19

Weather could be a leveller tomorrow. 60mph winds.

Leveller? That would make it even more one sided. We rely on good weather to even stand a chance. If it’s not a football match we’re out of the game.

 

[GTFCfish]

You haven't seen us at home over the last 3 seasons then. We have lost to some seriously awful sides recently.

 

[shoddycollins]

Unchanged from the win against Crawley.

Doesn't fill me with confidence. Mellish was poor at left back last week yet he's there again with Iredale still on the bench. We needed Carroll on the pitch in the second half in order to wrest some control of the midfield off Crawley and I'm surprised he doesn't start in this game.

BBCRC were talking about Loft in for Olomola maybe being expected, but on that one I think Olomola is the right call.

 

[hellogregory]

As predictable as the tide, Pressley going with an unchanged lineup.

Tactically this guy is shocking. It explains the terrible away form since he’s been in charge.

I’d be in complete shock if we get anything from this. I expect this physically weak midfield to get completely bossed when they don’t have the ball.

 

[hellogregory]

Told you we were terrible, relegation fodder. Swindon fans seeing first hand.

 

[hellogregory]

If Pressley doesn’t change this then he’s even more fucking clueless than I thought.

 

[shoddycollins]

One of the Swindon fans on their forum is pulling the leg of the others I think. Winding them up about how much the Radio Cumbria commentators have been bashing Swindon.

He's somewhere in Cumbria and listening to the local radio, which I think myself and HG will agree has been pretty complementary towards Swindon and critical of us; yet this guy's going onto their forum saying how the BBCRC commentators and making out it's all Carlisle and calling Swindon poor.

Apparently they said anyone can waltz around Doughty (they didn't) that Yates was a poor imitation of his Carlisle self (they didn't say that either) that Carlisle are the better side (they haven't said anything like that at all), that Anderson was a Sunday League player (not at all) and that there is no talent in the Swindon side (again, total bullshit).

 

[hellogregory]

Yeah all bull shit. They haven’t said any of that.

 

[shoddycollins]

Yeah all bull shit. They haven’t said any of that.

I mean we're listening on the radio (assume you are HG) and there's been no doubt that we were lucky to be 0-0

 

[shoddycollins]

Hahahahaha what the fuck!

Olomola becomes the first Scunthorpe player to score past Swindon

 

[hellogregory]

NEed to make these changes

 

[shoddycollins]

1-1 short lived

 

[shoddycollins]

Finally Carroll's on the pitch. Surprise to see McKirdy off though

 

[shoddycollins]

Feel like we're going to lose this match

 

[Carver]

Well for 4 minutes we were top of the league, it was a great 4 minutes and will be the highlight of our whole season..

 

[hellogregory]

Pressley really is shit. He’s proven it today.

It was so obvious we needed different personnel in midfield. He about to make the sub, We score so he changes his mind. Then they equalise end he decided to make the change, but doesn’t replace any of the ineffective midfield.

He’s clueless

 

[shoddycollins]

Crazy four minute spell but nothing has changed in spite of the goals and substitutions, things just seem to be exactly how they were first half.

 

[Carver]

Did anyone else just KNOW our lead was going to be short lived?

Being a fan of us is so predictable.

I was worried when the confusion over the substitutions began. I can understand us changing our mind just as the players we were preparing to sub combined for a goal but we never really figured out what we were doing, and then went ahead and took them off anyway which just makes it look like it was confusion over nothing.

Fuck 2-1 sounds like the substitution really fucked us too, we've ended up with everyone out of position and nobody knowing who they're supposed to mark.

I'm not listening to it, just keeping an eye on the score.

What has happened? How do they not know who is marking who?

According to BBCRC, Swindon's second goal came just as they were confused at why Scougall was trying to mark someone way bigger than him. They were certain this can't be who Pressley intended Scougall to be against, and then Scougall's man went and set up the goal.

 

[hellogregory]

Time to unwatch this thread. This result is on Pressley, 100%.

Our home games are going to be so vital because I can’t see us getting many points at all on the road with this tactically inept moron leading us.

 

[shoddycollins]

In fairness it doesn't sound like Carroll has been very good since coming on. We complain that he didn't start, complain that he doesn't come on at half time yet he's not had the impact we brought him on to have, sometimes it's just how it goes.

 

[shoddycollins]

Carroll sent off

 

[Carver]

Ok so Pressley has fucked this up.

Scougall is a number 10 player so why the hell is he playing in midfield when he is a short skinny guy? Also why the fucking fuck did he take McKirdy and Olomola off when them two set up and scored the goal!!!????

 

[Carver]

Carroll sent off

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.

We might as well forfeit this match before any more damage is done!

 

[shoddycollins]

Swindon fans kicking off against the BBCRC commentators. They'll be in for a rude awakening if they start on Lummy.

Swindon fans kicking off against the BBCRC commentators.

What happened?

 

[shoddycollins]

What happened?

They were discussing whether they thought Carroll's red card was a clear red and the fans near the commentary box were vehemenly in disagreement and shouting over them, don't know whether they were off their seats but Phillips had to tell them to get lost.

 

[shoddycollins]

3-1 scoreline flatters us
