I got there at 7-15 and had to park and walk from The Beacon.
Arrived just on kick off at the ground where Ajokefree ended his Swindon career (in my eyes)
.
What a shit start....and that was just the team sheet! What the fuck was DW thinking? Give players a breather? Fuck off.....we havent got a squad of 40 odd players....play your strongest team. His decisions came back to haunt him.
If he needed to change it - Ward pushed right up for Austin and the Pompey winger on. Pericard for the last 20 to batter em if needed.
Morrison had a terrible match and i felt for the lad...two chances to rescue his mistake in the first goal build up and blew it. ROW Z please!!
Pericard huffed and puffed but didnt win any headers and couldnt seem to hold the ball up. I still couldnt understand the half wits booing him when he got subbed....what utter cunts.
Ward played well as did Billy - we hit the post twice and the bar without playing well. Improved in the second half but strangely did not create the chances.
Gave the ball away cheap all night.
Ward took his goal well and if Douglas could strike a ball as well as he can pass it we might of snatched a point.
Ref was poor as the left back should of gone for a booking that you would of received in the centre circle rather than through on goal, the lad himself thought that he was going then just wandered away from the ref without even talking to...utter bollocks.
NB - I have only managed football teams at a junior level but even i could see that the only way to get at Dongs was down the flanks...knocking balls forward to giant defenders was never going to pay off....why didnt DW change it?
Looking at all the fixtures March is going to be a long month!
Family do for Brighton so see you all at Saints next week.
