Swindon Town FC - We can have a positive season where we win more games than we lose and we're still a total mess!
Sturrock gets tactics wrong - fair enough. But his track record cannot be ignored. He got Plymouth and Sheff Wed out of lower divisions... Sure, that doesn't automatically mean he will do the business here.
Simple fact is that Sturrock doesn't seem to rate the majority of the players he's inherited one bit. Is there a possibility he's losing the dressing room?
Whether we go up or stay in L2, there will be loads of changes.
I rate Sturrock and feel he will move us forward... I just hope it's this season!
Can we make big changes in the summer? I severely doubt it, I've said elsewhere that I think the board will do more cost cutting in the summer which didn't happen this season due to Power being around. I think we could be in an even weaker position next season so like it or not Mr Sturrock should be making sure these players get us out of this league. He might not rate our players but I don't rate him based on the mess he's got us into. We were almost 20 points inside the play-off zone before, what are we now about 7? If things don't pick up quick we'll miss the play-offs too!
Cost cutting will occur, expect youth teamers and eighteen pros. with experience max. Bonus will not be like this season. Finally, I don't think we are going up, unless a striker is brought in on loan who knows how to score. Given that getting a player like that is next to impossible unless Carson tearfully begs Sir Alec for someone, we need a miracle, such as converting a defender to a striker, who didn't know he was a striker. This is the sort of think A.K. used to try.
Sir Alec, the chairman, manager and the defensive coach are all Scots, can't you lend us a future star and pay his wages?
