Our game yesterday was just so poor. Suited Walsall how scrappy it was, we countered a few times but were very wasteful in those situations. We probably shaded the game, but for Clarke to throw away a point was bizarre.
Desperately unlucky this season with injuries to Paul Glatzel. Had he...
Well that was abysmal.
Shit pitch and a referee desperate to be the centre of attention stopped us getting any momentum in our football
Walsalls long balls eventually paid off with Peter Clarke following a bad clearance up with a reckless challenge.
Didn’t deserve to lose but didn’t do...
Did wonder how that managerial appointment would work out, if you weren’t sat at least top 7 the style of football and his manner wasn’t going to work with a large demanding fanbase..
Weren’t you down to 10 for most of that game?
Swindon’s back four aren’t great on the ball but insist on trying to play out from the back, so a high press causes them all kinds of issues. Imagine it’s not possible to do that with a man light.
Walsall sensibly increased our initial allocation to around about 1500 to avoid daft queues on the day. Believe there’s 6-700 available for pay on the gate.
Just on this; Northampton average near enough the same amount of points against the top teams as they do the rest.
While Swindon average significantly less against the teams outside the top 8 than they do against those in it.
Walsall sacking their manager to try and get that siege mentality going into a very hard couple games for them is pretty smart.
Usually with managerless teams they try hard but aren’t tactically great so you just need to weather an early high intensity and stay patient.
Fair! Can’t say I’m a betting expert, just expecting to see different odds given they’re on that losing run and we have the best away form in the league.
I thought we’d had our first home win against a top 8 side.. then realised the win pushed Swindon down to 9th..
Oh well.
51 points from 23 games against everyone outside the playoffs.. so if Newport/Mansfield etc could kindly drop to 8th when we play them that’d be appreciated.
Carlisles last 7 games of the season.
Tranmere (A)
Exeter (H)
Warsaw (A)
Mansfield (H)
Harrogate (A)
Stevenage (H)
Bradford (A)
You wouldn’t want to be needing more than a handful of points going into that…
