Best fans in the league
there's a stronger argument for saying worst fans in the league.

'Counter points' would be plus points then to balance against the minus points?
Am I reading that correctly?

Very poor performance. Swindon are also garbage.
Kye Spence looked like he had some quality and Jones was lively. That was pretty much it.
I'm sure we are not the finished article but it's clear we need bodies in.
We need to strengthen very quickly.

Close call SW...I do think that Thomas is a half decent player in the making but his finishing is dreadful...maybe thats confidence or maybe he just won't cut it

Kyle Spence didn't play did he?

Last season we won zero pre season hmmmmm what do you think about that ?
All I am saying its a long haul , yes if we lose our first 4 games than I agree but we lost away on the 1st day of the season , in two weeks we could be top 6 so relax
That message to you all who need it btw

#meltdown. I'm off for some beers. Thinking of going to the Pompey game as I'm in the Midlands for a couple of days with work next week. See some of you cheeky scamps then (even though I know none of you). Happy Saturday night folkers!

That's not a question any of us can answer now, i don't get why you can't understand that?
It's a risk of course, it's a trade off. Mowbray could have got players in at the start of the window but just not as good quality as he wanted obviously. He's missed out on a few, and he's probably still holding out for a few.
If he gets 4 unbelievable loans in by the end of august and signs 2 free agents that he's been hanging out for, and then we average over 2 points a game from end of august onwards and smash the league and finish top...did he make our chances of promotion harder? No he did not.
If the team doesn't drastically improve and we struggle and end up with a shit season and don't get anywhere near the playoffs...the answer is yes he probably did. But even then we don't know what was on the table at the beginning of the window?
Anyone who can't understand that we don't yet know if the risk is worth it is retarded.

Christ, not the comments we want to hear from Juggy. I hope it's not true.

Haven't really seen anyone getting on the players backs. Proud of the kids today but they shouldn't have been playing. Yes we didn't play that badly but Swindon are dire. And that's the point, why are we a work in progress? 2nd season of a manager's reign and the squad is worse than it worse 12 months ago. Is it rectifiable? Yes. Will it be rectified? Probably. And in the mean team we're giving precious points away which if we've any desire for promotion we can't afford to do.

I agree, I like Thomas. If only he could have learnt how to finish especially one v one from Murphy. He has similar chances Murphy used to gets into but isn't half as clinical

Well hopefully that isn't a preview of what's to come this season as we can't keep chucking games away at the death.

Yes it's the first game of the season away .... Is that clear enough ? We lost and we are on zero points
Next week we could be top 6 with 3 points

So what you're saying is it might be a risk, but it depends on how the rest of the season turns out and what players we bring in?
I've effectively said the same thing, so I don't know why you have to dismiss all my comments?
Regardless of what players we bring in, regardless of where we finish, the job is harder if we write off the first few games. That's comprehendible fact.
As TM has admitted missing multiple targets, has admitted that this was not what he wished to be so unprepared, why can't you see that this wasn't the master plan? It's just the way things have fallen. He's not panicking though and biding his time to get better players, which is alright, but obviously not ideal currently as we can drop points.
We are where we are, we may well do well, and I hope so, but we have more points to catch up. If the manager had targets he lost, he should have had others lined up, it's his job. That's literally all I'm saying, so I don't know why throwing around 'retarded' is supposed to be ok?

"Frustrating, of course it is. Missed opportunity for us. It was okay, opening day of the season. Need to be ruthless final third. Don't take chances, won't win. Controlled the game, ball retention good. They're a good team. They scored a good goal. Marvin was forced off due to yellow card. Working hard to bring players in. Good chance to bounce back on Tuesday. We want to win every game, will be strong on Tuesday. Every week we have an ex player against us, it doesn't matter to me. Looked like a draw, but a good finish for them settled the game."
Mowbray comments. Hmm. Reeks of frustration, seems gutted.

It isn't ideal about the targets, but surely it depends who is targets were and if they were realistic? That way it could be an issue with the scouting rather than the budget?
Don't get me wrong, we don't have a Sheffield United budget but was there much point in going after players on 20k a week at other clubs and wondering why they go to Championship teams?

Playing against a good footballing team whose football is ruthless
Disappointment for team and supporters
If don't take chances can't win matches
Team played fine. Controlled game. Played well out of possession
Swindon allowed to have ball at the back and not pressing high
Didn't take chances and that's the disappointment
Team played as I thought it would be played out
We'd have won if we'd scored first
Lost 1-0 to a good goal
Ahem.......
There you go. Don't know what else you want me to say
Thought top players worked hard. Strikers worked extraordinarily hard
Bring people off bench who were hungry
Sordell sub was forced due to booking
Make sure we didn't play remainder with 10 men
If we lose against Pompey (not sure I like that mentality.....)
Demands of games in short space of time need to make sure we have a squad to cope with it
Taking cup seriously
Pompey are a tough opposition and spent a few quid
Runnin our teams who haven't got ex coventry players in (laughs)
Build own team. Progress ongoing
Always downhearted after a defeat
More disappointed if we hadn't created chances
Type of game you hope to win 1-0
Looking like a goalless draw after chances missed
RCC not really called upon
Really good finish settled the game

There was one on the bench, behind 2 players who hadn't played a minute of pre-season...

I do worry about him. I know he is still young, but he does seem to scuff a number of shots and lacks composure in front of goal.
Could come in time, but if no-one else is contributing he is very quickly going to get dropped.
