Swindon Town vs MK Dongs Matchday Thread

[Simon Pieman]

Who's said Fitton isn't interfering enough? I think I must have missed something?

[pauld]

If he'd won 3 games for us we'd be a few points clear of the drop zone!
We're in worse shit now than when Hart arrived.

No we're not. In the 9 games he's been in charge, we've picked up 7 points, in the preceding 11, we got 3. It's not better enough but it is better

[jonny72]

Maybe not 2 years, maybe just the one year extension so he had 2 years left to run. Either way I think the club were stupid not to offer him anything in July.

How many times has the club offered long term high salary contracts to players who subsequently turned to shit?

Fitton has got some things wrong but I reckon he's got the player contracts spot on. Sure we lose some decent players on free transfers, but we don't end up pissing away a small fortune on a player who can't even make the bench.

[DiV]

It also means you lose shit loads of players if they/you have a good season then you get relegated the following season.

[Arriba]

fitton has always interfered.
for instance byrne was not wanted by wilson.this was because byrne had fittons ear, and wilson didn't like it(rightly so)
token job given by fitton against wilsons wishes.byrne never got near the first team squad and slagged every other coach off until he left.
he was jealous and bitter.
hardly gonna have harmony in the camp is it?
add to that the transfers etc,etc.

if fitton had been here years he would have fans calling for his head.
i dont expect this to be popular with alot of you, but its 100% what i believe.i've heard enough to be convinced it's fact.

[THE FLASH]

I lost it with Hart at Plymouth when he wouldnt gamble..

Games at Exeter and yesterday just compound it!

[Coca Fola]

Frampton isnt in our top 2 defenders but I think he's half of our best centre back pairing.

I think Cuthbert and LFJ are better than Frampton individually but dont work as well with each other as they do with Frampton.

Either way I'd bomb them all out come may.

I'd keep LJF. Cuthbert will leave, Frampton - no thanks.

[Coca Fola]

You're not even a funny troll

I'm being serious. He's got good feet, clearly not a winger. Just needs to close players down more and he'll do fine.

[SCM]

Nobody else see Rose's middle finger salute to the Town End after the game then? Couldn't see it mentioned anywhere.

[Coca Fola]

Yep, Ibhere had absolutely destroyed Frampton up until the sending off.

He was like a good Pericard. I hope Vince was sat in the stands taking notes.

[pauld]

I'm being serious. He's got good feet, clearly not a winger. Just needs to close players down more and he'll do fine.

Jesus. He was like a ridiculously large rabbit in headlights

[DiV]

He looked like a young kid in a shit team playing in a position that was completely alien to him, which is a stunning coincidence because...

[Berniman]

This thread has turned into the hindsight thread.

Next year we need decent players that want to play for STFC.  Out of the current crop I would keep, Lucas, LJF, Flint, Ritchie and Ferry.

The rest either aren't good enough or can't be arsed so ship them out!

[pauld]

I'd agree with the sentiment. Puzzled as to why you include Ferry in the list. When he has played he's looked as half-arsed (and unfit) as the rest and I assume the reason he's played so little under either manager is a failure to apply himself in training. Which hardly indicates he's bursting to give his all for the club.

[DiV]

I think deep down we all think (wish, hope) that if he actually ever managed to get a decent run in the side he's turn back into the Ferry of last season.

Seems unlikely but he barely plays - no matter how wank Douglas and Prutton are.
