Swindon v Accrington

[4D]

Goodnight.

[pauld]

No. Time to donkey up.

TBF the team have been doing more than enough of that

[Berniman]

Compared to what I have seen elsewhere, the TEF doesn't have a high proportion of mentalists.  Yes, some have expressed the their displeasure with the performance and result, but the manner in which they have done so doesn't compare with the madness on the Facebook (in my opinion).

It also doesn't compare with the TEF of old, that is my point I guess - anyway I'm outta here before sorrow drowning drinks kick in..  Ta-ra

He sounds dejected

He sounds dejected

Out of the frying pan...

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Out of the frying pan...

Literally

[Nomoreheroes]

Sheridan:
- Poor display obviously
- We know we have to be stronger defensively. Comical goals conceded
- Got away with it Saturday
- Tried to be positive, but can't play like that
- Sloppy all night
- Its a tough league
- We have good footballers, but we need to know how to change things
- Haven't really worked the keeper
- Too many people wanting to do the same thing
- Nowhere near good enough
- Need a system making us stronger defensively
- Dont want to change the formation too much
- As a team we concede too many
- I haven't cone here to criticize anyone. Its a strong tough league
- Could have got away with things last year. In this league you will get punished
- Last year we had Doyle and Yates scoring lots of goals. This year we haven't
- Goals comical again
- Need to work hard and get it right quickly
- Third centre-half: Didn't change it much
- Big believer that if we are not fully focused and your mind is somewhere else then there is nothing a coach can do
- Our passing was poor.
- Looked tired, but we shouldnt have been
- Anyone watching the game could see we weren't fully focused
- Not too many bodies available to change things up at the moment
- Get on with it, its a long season.
- We were poor
- Probably M Smith only one to avoid criticism. He kept going. But as a team we have to take the blame together
- Mentality is up to the team when they go out there. Should know strengths and weaknesses
- Thats how good players play
- One clean sheet all season. Anyone coming to play us thinkis they can score
- Seeing and spotting danger no matter what the system is important
- Poor finishing. We should have scored 3 ourselves
- How the goals happened are bad
- Not going to say we deserved anything from the game
- Its a tough tough league. We beat Hull a couple of weeks ago. So if we are on our game we can compete.
- We need to get compact. Its a big step up from last year.
- We need to be competitive on the pitch

Thanks NMH.

Good job NMH. Not much in that is there. I'd have hoped for a bit more insight. Wellens used to have a better analysis of games we lost. Hmm.

I don't think Sheriden is as comfortable doing interviews

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

Always appreciated NMH.
Once dusted down I always look for some positives. That at least is behind us and a few weeks we will have a few other options available.

Let’s also give the opposition credit tonight, clearly did their homework on us but that first goal killed us big time.
Both keepers unfortunately not good enough.

[Nomoreheroes]

Fryer 3/10: Inexplicably missed the ball for the first. Should have done better on the second. No chance with the third. Made several good saves in the second half. The basics for a goalkeeper are to stop shots, catch or punch the ball and kick it. He did one of those things well and two of them abysmally.
Hunt 4/10: Sacrificed to change the shape. Thought he was starting to have some joy going forward before he was subbed.
Odimayo 5/10: Did some good bits but equally as many bad.
Grounds 4/10: Best input was to get a yellow to stop a breakaway in the second half. Shouted at everyone.
Caddis: 5/10 Roasted in the first half. Tried hard pushing forward. Always been better going forward than defending.
A Grant 4/10 : Seemed in a dream in the first 30 mins. Played like a crab much of the rest of the game
M Smith 6/10: Tried, but tightly marked. Looked knackered at the end
J Smith 5/10: No joy against Burgess who looked as quick as him. Didn’t have any joy down the left. Couple of shots over the bar.
Pitman 3/10: Wasted several chances. Off the pace. Heavy touch with passes. Could have put Hope through on one occasion
Hope 4/10 : Ran about. Tried. No quality
J Grant 2/10: Was he playing?
Subs:
Baudry 4/10: Normal scary self. Takes too many chances for my liking and gave a couple of chances away that weren’t punished
Stevens 5/10: Looked quick again. Didn’t do anything with it other than win a couple of throws and corners

Wellens knew he got lucky last year. He couldn't believe his luck with Yates & Doyle.
His player selection this season has shown that it was luck.
He realised quite quickly that he was going to struggle this season and despite all of the initial talk he bottled it and ran!
