2,772 at Col U. 446 away. Match permits working well.

Walsall started well but after we scored they totally went to shit, worst side I’ve seen in a while.

We’ve played well athough reckon there’s more to come. Very promising.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Though Walsall just had a decent effort off the post. Hopefully we have at least another in us.

 

[Hurrikeen]

17000 is incredible for L2, and they’re normally decent for atmosphere at home, but I’m amazed how silent Bradford are, especially 1 up.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Bahamboula also having his worst ever performance too.

 

[shoddycollins]

A clash between Iandolo and Magnus Norman in the Carlisle goal resulted in Iandolo going off for treatment and Norman being booked (not for the challenge, think he was actually awarded the free kick but did something to the referee's displeasure before taking it). It's fired the home support up if nothing else.

20 minutes for Covolan to get through a game without being sent off

Tranmere brought on McManaman and we’ve just brought on Cass and Amoo. Sounds like no lack of effort more just the end product from both teams just slightly off at present.

 

[BogDaddyO]

Exeter botch a penalty, still 2 down but undoubtedly the better side. After 3 games you can definitely tell.

Boring now, stop paying attention to Devon Lad

 

[denzel ecfc]

Some good news, Grounds is sent off

 

[BogDaddyO]

3-0.

 

[shoddycollins]

Defending by the skin of our teeth this second half... McKirdy puts it into the side netting, a chance that sounds like it should have been a goal.

 

[shoddycollins]

Six minutes injury time and it does sound like when rather than if Swindon can get an equaliser. Listening on the radio it sounds like our attempt to bring an extra defender on and see the game out has backfired.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Conceded a consolation to Walsall at the death but had chances of our own before that. Saddlers seemed to just fall apart after the first goal, still had their chances though and we're far from the finished article. Good day at the office though.

 

[Chris FGR]

Think we felt sorry for them, took our foot of the gas and let them have a goal at the end.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Stevenage sealing a late win.

 

[valefan16]

Should of won that but they could of nicked it at the end. Rodney missed a sitter in injury time though! Woodwork hit twice all in all a good performance and Conlon missing.

 

[shoddycollins]

Kessler-Hayden sent off for a second booking seconds before full-time.

He'd been their best player too.

Quick check of the Swindon forum and it's all about the commentators. It's like last season all over again lol.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Nil nil draw away at Salford, this'll be the league experience Sutton fans could once only dream of

 

[Pablosammy]

Frustrating game for Tranmere. We dominated posession, passed it nicely, but looked impotent up front, whereas Vale created the better chances when they did get the ball off us.

A fair result based on that, but I can't help but feel it was two points lost. We need to be more incisive or we won't do anything this season.

 

[EricSabin]

Get innnnnnnnn 1-0 win away at Colchester. Really hung on with 10 men there towards the end and Colchester deserved something from the game but I really don’t care.

3 wins to get us up and running in this first week, what a start.

To add to that, Liam Roberts sounds like he had a stormer in goal. Same for Jon Guthrie and Shaun McWilliams. Encouraging start.

I never understand why managers do it.

I have only seen us promoted 3 times from this league but each time the manager frankly does same home and away picks a set eleven and doesn’t swap about if leading.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Feel sick. Absolutely robbery that. Not that we should have stuck 6 past em but to lose it like that is disgraceful.

 

[hellogregory]

Well that was an important 3 points to get our season going.

Good first half, really poor second half. Why on earth we sat back and went to a back 3 for last 15 mins I don’t know, but we got away with it thankfully.

 

[Agombar stool]

1-2 loss at home to Carlisle. I think the wrath of the fans were for the Carlisle comms. Apparently the players have no respect for Ben Garner which is an odd statement to make. 'Obnoxious' was mentioned more than once.

Anyway, we lost despite giving it a bit of a go. Safe trip home to the Carlisle fans.

 

[Indian Dan]

Fanny football

 

[BarraMatt]

Managed to seal the win at the third attempt. In typical fashion each of our strikers scored after worrying that we were light up top. Dimitri Sea went off late on with concussion.

 

[E10rifle]

Battered by the undoubtably better side, so chuffed to have picked up a fortunate 3 points. On the plus side we should all get a week off once Devon Lad checks the result on his phone and goes into hiding for a spell.

We started with a back 3 with wing backs on Tuesday and we looked a disjointed mess. Today we looked comfortable defensively, until Beech decides to bring Feeney on and revert to a back 3 (which ended up a back 5). Again we were all over the place. Why we changed it I do not know, but we got the result so it doesn’t matter. But I hope he learns a lesson from this.

How did Ozzie Zanzala play? I see he got an early goal.
