Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

Has he gone yet?

there's a rumour going round he has.

I don't believe it myself, but I do believe the person who posted it has been told it rather than making it up themselves

Thinking about it I wouldn’t actually be surprised to see Morfuni sack Flynn, more as a PR stunt to try and convince a few people he does care and find someone to blame.

Some of our fans are as thick as pigs shit- rushing to Clems defence constantly

It is over for him at STFC- fan ownership please. Not interested in new owners as they will likely be chancers like all the others

Usual “Heard it from various sources” rumour. Would not be surprised though as STFC is not known for trundling calmly along as if there is no problems.

But surely not done over the phone on the bus back from Crewe

Would probably have been back 30 mins or so wouldn’t they?

They hurled Wakeling out of the bus

One minor thing that stuck out today - Glatzel put plenty of effort in and didn't seem tentative in the way that a lot of players with his injury history would. Didn't get much of a sniff on the ball but fingers crossed a promising debut.

[THE FLASH]

I think i was lucky as i only watched the second half....listened to a bit of the first on the wireless and it sounded like our Arses were being handed to us on a plate.

I did think we played reasonably well in the second but of course did the usual and conceded a soft goal.

Didnt gamble enough though, needed to deliver the ball a bit quicker but instead we fucked about inter passing and 9/10 gave the ball away.

Thought maybe we deserved a draw...but goals win games.

Hutton in the wrong mindset to play? What a load of bollocks.

Those FGR players minds must be like tissue paper....they still have to train and play.
Its bollocks, hes off and we cant risk him being injured.
Could cross 5/10 but couldnt defend for shit (like most of our 'defenders').

Lad in goal looked good enough. Didnt see the striker. Midfielder showed plenty of effort.

Flynn gone/going?

Like has been said many times, the behind the scenes events mean the pressure is off Flynn a bit and people seem to accept some of the shite we have been dished up.

The fact we keep making identical errors every fucking week , boils my piss.

He might walk ref his own mindset......sacking is strange ref timing.

Anyway, saw enough in the second half to lift me a bit.....lets get the 50 we need asap!

[4D]

I can't see where our next win comes from. We are even struggling against the clubs in the bottom third.

[Riddick]

Flynns unwillingness to change the formation or set up is quite staggering at this point honestly. I can't stand this back 5 shit. I'd like to see us really mix it up. Go 433.

Bycroft
Rb UGB
Lb Kokolo
CB Blake Tracy
CB (Whoever is fit before we can sign a proper cb)
DM Kinsella
CM Cain left of the 3
CM Devoy right side
Fw Shade
FW RHM
FW Glatzel

Best I can come up with as something different at this point. (Yes I'm very bored of Austin and Khan).

[Legends-Lounge]

To realistically implant ourselves in the play offs we can only only achieve 88 points now. In effect of the 18 games left we can afford to lose two possibly three if the gods are with us. So amass as many points as we can just in case of a doubtful points deduction because if it was already obvious we have another season in L2 to look forward to next season. 24/25 ST anyone?

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

I bet there is plenty of #flynnout #stfc on twitter though.

Even an Arsenal TV "he's got to go blud" video would be better.

Not read back yet -

I thought for the first 20 minutes or so on Saturday we were absolutely terrible. The new keeper was flapping at everything, Minturn seemed to have toblerone shaped boots (and head) and we were just a mess. Funnily enough Shade was our positive outlet and we got a (fortunate) goal, thanks to a typically clinical Charlie finish. He still does way too much for the team but he still has the ability to put away chances if he gets them.

Second half we were much better, we didn't really create very much but we had some good spells of posession and it was a much more even game. Great to see the hyphen brothers FBT and RHM back, FBT in particular slotted in nicely, RHM his usual bull in a china shop self. Unfortunately our Achilles heel came back to haunt us and their leading striker was left with all the space in Cheshire to backheel past a stranded keeper.

And that was that. Not an awful performance, but another defeat. Obviously there is a lot of chatter about Flynn leaving, not sure if it happens but it's just a rearranging of the deck chairs on the titanic if that was the case. Ever since Morfuni gave him the extended contract, it's been pretty terrible, it sums up the footballing operation since Chorley has left really, no idea, no cohesion, no plan, no funi.
