[Sick Boy]

Burge starts as he means to go on with kicking

Surprise surprise!

[Nick]

We are going to shit going forward, even the basics!

 

[Nick]

Shipley hurts himself bottling a tackle

 

[Grendel]

Haynes acres of space to cross and plays a hospital ball to Shipley.

 

[Deleted member 4439]

Hardly strung 2 passes together so far...not looking good

bit harsh? some really nice play for the first 10 mins, until we went back into our shell again.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Off topic sort of but could we this season see a record points total for a given league ? I can’t remember ever seeing say 70 points . Hmmm

Btw all stop stressing we will win this

 

[larry_david]

Shipley bottled every challenge at crewe

 

[sw88]

Refs not having the best of games

 

[Grendel]

Why is Vincenti even on the pitch - what’s his purpose?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Bayliss and JCH another level so far. McNulty gets an honourable mention.

Everyone else is bang average.

 

[Nick]

We are playing to win the throw in count

 

[wingy]

61% possession.

Promotion from Div 2 would have been 82? if there were 3 for a

Giving anything they call for

 

[ccfcway]

plenty of time to go in this, amazed how negative every is.

 

[Robccfc87]

Shipley bottled every challenge at crewe

He was given about 4/5 hospital passes to be fair.

 

[wingy]

No goals anywhere else yet.
Swindon 1-0

Welcome to CCFC

 

[Nick]

Have we won a single long ball and kept possession?

 

[ccfcway]

No goals anywhere else yet.

wonder if their fans are as negative as ours

 

[Johhny Blue]

No goals anywhere else yet.

Crawley 0 Cheltenham 2

 

[Nick]

Bayliss wrong choice, went for the shot

 

[Esoterica]

Position of our defensive line is 10 yards too deep when they are in possession so their forwards look more dangerous than they really are because they're getting the ball on the edge of our box. Then when we do win it back it's too far for L2 footballers to play passing footy on a pitch in this state so we look good in spells but it comes to nothing or we go long and give it away. We look ok in the final third when in possession because the whole team is higher but not so much when we win possession in our own halves. Little tweaks and we'll play much better.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Nobody is being negative, just calling it as it is.

It’s not exactly good so far is it.

I still think we’ll win, we are just poor at the minute.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Have we won a single long ball and kept possession?

There was one in the first half against Luton

 

[jordan210]

Every time we make a challenge and someone ends up on the floor ref gives it as a foul !

 

[Johhny Blue]

Exeter 0 Swindon 1. Good or bad?

 

[skybluepm2]

That’s how you cross a ball Haynes! Great play Grimmer.

 

[sw88]

Grimmer runs the line well, his cross finds McNulty who guides a header but only into the keepers hands

 

[Esoterica]

This ref is reffing his 2nd league game in 18 months and it looks like he hasn't even watched a game of footy during that period either

 

[ccfcway]

Nobody is being negative, just calling it as it is.

ok, lets call it that..

 

[Nick]

Good save!

 

[sw88]

Shot blocked from going in for Grimsby corner, either Burge save or a Grimmer block

 

[Grendel]

That’s how you cross a ball Haynes! Great play Grimmer.

Indeed.

 

[Johhny Blue]

That’s how you cross a ball Haynes! Great play Grimmer.

That's enough positive comments for today
