Title: who,d have thought Post by: JOHNNY REEVES on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:28:06 at the start of the season swindon supporters would have witnessed,
only 3 home wins, a loss of faith in both keepers, jack smith being the most consistent defender, cox scoring 16 goals before december and fans saying he should be dropped by january, getting knocked out of the fa cup by a non league club, pook returning to the first team, countless last minute goals conceded, being one place above the relegation place as the new year started, people questioning the chairmans ability, we wouldn,t have beaten any of the bottom 6 sides, and finaly danny wilson being appioted as manager(could be the best thing to happen) Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:29:18 Being a Swindon fan I pretty much expect that absolutely anything can and will happen.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: DiV on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:34:10 Well it seems slightly closer to my expectations of this season than most peoples....
...but...the question is what were you really expecting from this season? Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:35:33 Better than that
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: Arriba on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:37:06 i expected alot better than we have had.this season has been a massive let down
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: JOHNNY REEVES on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:37:17 a few wins ,attacking football,smiling faces,and not a relegation battle.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: dell boy on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 19:36:28 Losing more at home than away, no I wasn't expecting that.
The County Ground was meant to be a fortress, well it was in my days. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: inoffthered on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 19:40:10 Spot on Dell Ihave been to every game home and away for the last 2 seasons and if i had to bet i would have said our home form was going to be as good as anyones this season. Our form has reversed from last year, so it can only get better imo.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 19:50:57 Agree inoff i actually think it will be our home form that will see us push up the table
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: DiV on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 19:59:36 I'd generally agree that our home form will get better but it seems I've been saying that for months now! Only seems to be so long I can go on waiting for the improvement before I stop
Having said that Wilson has only been here for 5 minutes so plenty of time yet. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: Bushey Boy on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:13:17 5 minutes? hes been in charge since 2008 and now its 2009, hes had times
Wilson out :) Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: inoffthered on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:26:37 Once DW sets his mark on the team with 2-3 new signings, which we most certainly need that will give everyone at the club a lift especially us the supporters.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: STFC_Gazza on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:36:56 I think the Stockport game could signla a change etc. I said in FourFourTwo when I did the prediction about 12th. Never expected the playoffs but did also say I feared a relegation battle so..
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: inoffthered on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:39:02 About right Gazza any better than 12th will be a success.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: DiV on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:46:50 At the start of the season I said improvement from last season which I think off the top of my head was 13th place and 61 points.
39 points minimum from 23 games. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: inoffthered on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:48:28 Very getable DV
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: DiV on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:53:09 I hope.
Last season was w16 d13 l17 this season its w5 d8 l10. So to equal that we need to win 11 games, drawn 5 and lose only 7. Fingers crossed. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: inoffthered on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:57:04 When you look at the 4 2-2 draws that could so easily have been wins that shows we are capable of competing with anyone with a new man at the helm and 2 or 3 new signings im convinced we will become a tougher side to beat imo.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 23:32:28 I expected mid table obscurity, a decent cup run and to blood a couple of youngsters. I didn't think I was being very ambitiuos - it appears I was.
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 21:04:32 at the start of the season swindon supporters would have witnessed, I was too lazy to write a proper reply.only 3 home wins, NOT ME a loss of faith in both keepers, NOT ME jack smith being the most consistent defender, NO SURPRISE GIVEN WE HAVE IFIL, HASNEY AND A MIDFIELDER THERE cox scoring 16 goals before december and fans saying he should be dropped by january, FAIR PLAY COXY, and SOME PEOPLE ARE TWATS getting knocked out of the fa cup by a non league club, SAME OLD SWINDON pook returning to the first team, NO SURPRISE countless last minute goals conceded, THAT'S BEEN A SHOCKER being one place above the relegation place as the new year started, UNEXPECTED people questioning the chairmans ability, UNEXPECTED, BUT THEY TEND TO BE THE THISIS SORT! we wouldn,t have beaten any of the bottom 6 sides, SAME OLD SWINDON and finaly danny wilson being appioted as manager(could be the best thing to happen) NOT SURPRISED MALPAS WENT BUT DIDN'T EXPECT WILSON HERE! In terms of what I expected, I would have considered 15th place to be a poor season, and 10th to be pretty good. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: JOHNNY REEVES on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 21:09:46 10th will do me, sort it out danny
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 21:16:47 I was hoping for a high mid table 9th or 10th finish, keepign in touch with the playoffs until about Easter before falling off.
It has been pretty dissapointing so far, but we are only a couple of players and a shitload of confidence away from having a average to good team for this divison in all honesty. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 21:29:34 I expected mid table obscurity, a decent cup run and to blood a couple of youngsters. I didn't think I was being very ambitiuos - it appears I was. 2 out of 3 ain't bad! And we could achieve the third, so keep believing. Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: THE FLASH on Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 18:28:04 Cannot believe that i will be elated at a midtable finish in April........
Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: dell boy on Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 18:36:39 Cannot believe that i will be elated at a midtable finish in April........ Midtable I think is beyond us....Title: Re: who,d have thought Post by: THE FLASH on Thursday, January 8, 2009, 11:17:23 Midtable I think is beyond us.... Im fucked off with all this negativity.......if we win another home game by end of March anything can happen.......cmon you redzzzzzzzzzzzz! |
