Just think, earlier today people were talking about us making a run into the play offs!

were more write off than play off after tonights poor display

They seem more confident away from home.....why is that?

perhaps its because we don't have players good enough to control and breakdown the opposition, but can hit teams on the counter away from home? or are you suggesting its the fans fault they are crap at home?

 

[robbiethemole]

the master plan to bring in Webster to counteract their big striker failed in spectacular fashion tonight then. Webster stood like a scareceow as the big lad ran in front of him to score and he was even slower when he bundled the lad over for the pen. No clue about positional play or marking and no pace........................basically a feckin donkey.

I thought Pressley should have put Martin in the centre with Pennington and moved Willis to r/b, but he dont listen to anyone and lives in a bubble....TWAT he has to go.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

It was Nouble with the foul for the pen. Agree with everything else that you say, though.

 

[robbiethemole]

yes just realised it was Nouble, ut should he have been defending in our own box?? Webster just shouting and armwaving most of the game

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

As I said at the time, one of the problems with playing a striker on the left wing is that he will have to defend at times-which obviously, he aint too good at! But at least he did graft today and he was one player who's head didn't drop.

1-3 to Swindon

They don't call you the Voice of Reason for no reason. Unfortunately, even you could not forsee how totally inept our attack would be.

Dross = waste matter, refuse, dregs
Dregs = the least valuable part of anything

thanks to my dictionary.

Well swindon have the best away record in the league , they have improved dramatically over the course of the season , wheras we are still inconsistent and sit 18th in league 1 . The performance at walsall gave me actual positives and if we play that way then who knows .
but i cant see it and i think we will be beaten and beaten well tonight ...Coventry 0-3 Swindon att.7500

Pretty much spot on!

 

[gooner]

watched the game on sky last night and it doesnt look good for you sad to say, plenty of heart but so any silly mistakes, but swindon are a good team so keep the faith . #pusb

Swindon should be the model for us, good links with Tottenham and other premier league clubs allowing them to loan in the best young talent and pick up those that don't quite make the grade at a premier league club. Recruit talent from the lower leagues, may require nominal transfer fees but shouldn't cost as much in wages as a Tudgay or a Jackson and then compliment that with the best of our academy.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

And of course a decent manager

Frustrating times.. 7 points from the play offs and 4 points off from the relegation zone.. We need 3 back to back victories from Gillingham, Yeovil and Rochdale to have any hope..

Yes the loan recruits we have made from Arsenal Chelsea etc. have been very succesful.

There are good players there to be had if you know what you are doing and what you are looking for, and by building links with premier leagues and getting a good reputation for playing good football and developing players your more likely to get the top players rather than the cast offs we normally get. Unfortunately our manager couldn't spot a good player if it was handed to him on a plate.

Luongo, Obika, Byrne, Stephens, Toffolo, Turnbull, Swift all were either bought from a premier league club or loaned in from one. All played last night bar Luongo who is probably their best player.

 

[stupot07]

• 01 Foderingham (23) - undisclosed in Jan 2012 from Palace
• 05 Stephens (20) - loan from Southampton
• 02 Thompson (24) - Swindon Academy graduate
• 06 Turnbull (20) - loan from Southampton
• 03 Byrne (22) - free transfer Tottenham
• 19 Thompson (20) -loan from Norwich
• 07 Gladwin (22) - Free from Marlow
• 15 Toffolo (19) - on loan from Norwich
• 14 Swift (19) - on loan from Chelsea
• 09 Smith (23) - undisclosed from Charlton Jan 2014
• 10 Williams (28) - free from Yeovil
• and i doubt they actually paid much for either Foderingham or Smith.

First, you need the connections, then you need to choose the players, then you need to motivate the players and gel them with the rest of the team. CCFC and SP have failed on all counts. I wonder if Swindon ever had a 'bomb squad'.

A win and two draws is the most I would hope for. More likely is one win, one defeat and one draw.

Swindon Match T

Talk to Glowworm, Sann0638 or Hudson, they are all members of the Swindon league, amongst others.

Highlight of the night has to be the sight if all the chavs in flat caps or whatever they're called walking along the tesco stand closely followed by a hi viz

What an absurd over reaction there was to the whole thing
When that happened they got a right earful off me and promptly got to their knees

Easy now! So glad you didn't say they got a mouthful and got to their knees

I was livid Nick
As dire as it had been me and the Weeman love to sit right at the front and get in the players earshot
Who wants to see a wall of orange lard
we left soon afterwards

Nah, you want Wingy After Dark for that. It's a pay site, I believe
