Swindon Town v Walsall Official Matchday Thread

[Peter Venkman]

I do agree that we need to get behind Power, there are no rich people going to buy us, we have to work to a sustainable model now.

That said, How are we going to get new fans when the product is so dull and results are consistently so poor?

Very much this.

Lukey boy fronted up yet?

Who's knocking Power? It's the manager and players who are not up to it. You honestly expect fans of any club to keep quiet after witnessing such utter crap as we have recently.

Who's knocking power? The people shouting "we want power out", maybe?

[RJack]

Seen a couple of diehards lose their shit today.  There is massive disdain amongst the fans. We need an experienced manager asap.

I don't think a change of manager will make any difference what so ever TBH. I've seen enough this season to see the current batch of players just aren't capable of stringing more then a couple of wins together.  Individually we have some good players but they lack experience & consistency  and it's clear they need a leader on the pitch.
Have nothing against Thompson but he isn't a leader and these players clearly need guidance once on the pitch.

People were saying the same before Ling arrived.....

That's been the response to shit form for ever and a day. Blaming fans is just cuntish.

Then call me a cunt.
Like I said, I don't have a problem with opinions. But when you're actively chanting at a game you want to get rid of him you've gone too far. Save that for the Diamond mikes and the Oystons of this world.

Maybe but watching today's match the players looked like they didn't know what the fook they were doing and had know direction at all. These players are pretty young and I just think they need someone on the pitch to give them a bit of guidance and give them a lift when the chips are down and as much as I like Thompson he doesn't do that

[Flashheart]

I'm all for people voicing their discontent, but chanting that they want the owner out is idiotic.

Agree I'd rather have Power than no club

Obviously, you do have a problem with some fans' opinions. Do you honestly expect, and want, fans to quietly accept what's happening on the pitch? Would you prefer 'Williams Out' or just to go meekly home with a shrug?

Which makes me think the right manager could fix things on the pitch.

I'm still fairly confident that we could have a decent season, provided Power doesn't take too long to make whatever changes  necessary.

Exactly. I've still got my orange hat, and what I was protesting against wasn't "we keep playing the ball backwards and I hate this tippy tappy stuff". It was more IF THIS CARRIES ON WE WONT HAVE A CLUB.

I'd prefer fans to get behind the team who are obviously trying.

[pauld]

Because for once we have an owner who isn't trying to fuck us over financially

As far as you know, so far. Do agree though, that we don't seem to have a queue of people waiting to replace him. Equally, people are entitled to say when they're pissed off

[Randle]

I'm surprised that some of those chanting today manage to get dressed in the morning but we all have to acknowledge something has to change.

Williams is to blame for the lethargic and low-tempo approach and Power is to blame for a failing recruitment policy. Perhaps, 'Power sort it out' may have been better.
