Stevenage 2 Swansea 1 - The Fan's Views

Home > Story Index >Stevenage - The Fan's Views

Report by Andy Donaghue
Well it had all the ingredients.....LDV , rain, conference side and the ground in the middle of nowhere. the S.E jacks met up in anticipation of a dire encounter and from a effort perspective the lads in yellow supplied dire at its promising best.

115 jacks made the journey and some from Swansea (these deserve a medal) to witness our patched up side.

I could go on about boro's 10 attempts at goal in the first half but their lack of quality finishing somehow saved us all a trip to highbury to watch the gooners second half.

Our only glimmer of hope was a good move down the right with Thomas heading well past Wilson in the boro goal from a pin point cross.

2nd half

Thinking we should go on and win the game the early part of the second half saw boro sustain long periods of pressure and it was only a matter of time before the defence was breached and a double strike on the hour finished us off.

A double substitution saw Lacey replaced by Jackson and Murphy for wood. Flynn now switched a to 4-3-3 with Murphy joining Thomas and Cash for a 20 min long ball onslaught , sadly the players had no idea of this makeshift formation and the exits beckoned, Murphy came in for some stick for just being Murphy and the game was lost.

  • Freestone- No Protection (Again)
  • Jones - Star For The Future ,Man Of The Match
  • Howard- Started Okay But Faded Badly(Again)
  • O'leary- Exposed By Pace (Again)
  • Theobold - Struggled All Night
  • Reid- Not A Left Midfielder And It Shows.
  • Jenkins- No Real Creativity.
  • Lacey- Less Said The Better I Think.
  • Cash- Quality Runs , I'll Think We'll Miss Him Already.
  • Thomas- Good Goal But When Is He Ever Going To Get Quality Service To His Feet.
  • Wood- Wind Him Up And Watch Him... Anyway.
  • Murphy- Not A Striker, Not Even A Midfielder Not Quite Sure What !
  • Jackson- A Decent Haircut Wouldn't Go A Miss.
