Fantastic Bapaga, until the finish.

With the season less than a month away, is the outcome of this game any cause for concern? I was upbeat after the defeat to Rangers because they were so far ahead in terms of preparation than us and are one of 2 best teams in Scotland by far. But after all the early predictions in this game pointed to a win for us (some even suggesting a comfortable win) is losing to a team in a division below us something we should be worried about?

exactly. I'm not worried by today but I am a little confused as to why we look so off the pace compared to the performance against Rangers who were 1 week away from starting their season.

Walsh was the main man last year going to miss him big time

 

[David O'Day]

No because it was pretty much a reserve team

Sky Blues XI: Ben Wilson (GK), Blaine Rowe (Trialist 46), Josh Eccles, Trialist, Sam McCallum (G.Burroughs 89), Callum Maycock, Jack Burroughs, Trialist, Reise Allassani, Dexter Walters, Max Biamou (Bremang 64)
Subs: Addai (GK), Trialist

Good sign for the future that he can make those runs.

I understand being positive as I'm usually overly positive myself... Today is a concern surely as we are miles away.

 

[Sick Boy]

Nice run there, he looks a great prospect

 

[covcity4life]

Kelly.all over the shop

Has sheaf signed yet?!

 

[cc84cov]

A lot of talks about fitness

How long have Swindon been back ?

About 3 more weeks than us by the looks of it

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Love that Godden didn't bollock Bapaga for not passing, but encouraged him instead.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Twine is quite decent when he has space.

Have they even been back longer than us ? I bet it’s not by much if even so

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Bagpa should have scored, but he has looked decent.

Compare him to Baka and he has played better already. Need to strengthen up front badly.

 

[clint van damme]

is he able to string a few passes together?!

 

[David O'Day]

At least this thread is good for outing the wumps who phone BBCWM after each game.

 

[mark82]

Twine looks a good young player.

 

[cc84cov]

So everyone is blaming fitness but nobody knows when Swindon started back no ???!

 

[The Lurker]

We look off it every pre-season. This season we had a 150 day break between matches. Calm down, and let our manager who has 2 promotions in 3 seasons sort it out. We will be ready I have no doubt.

a lot of work to do in a short space of time. I worried about this preseason preparations so far. we’re in the championship this season. Massive gap between league 1 and that league. that’s my worry

Can't believe how Irish Breen sounds

ties everything together nicely

 

[Esoterica]

His passing has been ropey.

 

[Evo1883]

Really broad, like half their national side

 

[stevefloyd]

Oh bejasus

No your worry is trying to find videos of non white breaking social distancing while ignoring white people who do it.

 

[theferret]

Don't we have this hand wringing every season? We never pull up any trees pre-season.

Bit surprised we're not a bit further on in terms of fitness, but not worried at all.

Dry your eyes for fuck sake.

They have played 2 games in the last week haven't they?

All teams will be in the same boat

I've said a few times that they've had 2 games in the last couple of weeks. We've just had a week off. Think that's more the reason than when we started.

 

[cc84cov]

Dry your eyes for fuck sake.

Do you know ? No ? Everyone is barking on about fitness But I bet Swindon we’re back similar time to us we should be further along that this

To be fair, we played better 12 days into pre season against Rangers that were 5 weeks ahead of us and starting their season the following week.

We've looked more dangerous since the kids have been on to be fair.
