Hopefully the italians are better than last years!

With the exception of Thompson i reckon that could be our team for next season

Last years pre season did the job, more of the same would be ok.

I'd be surprised as well but Di Canio may see it differently, as in Navs played 30 odd times in the Championship and Miller roughly the same in a promotion winning L1 side. Slightly different to a L2 winning side.

True, but Ferry played regularly in the side that made the League 1 play-off final and has arguably improved since then. I'm expecting a 'horses for courses' type approach, with the three of them playing about 30 games each.

I see the penalty was given away by Materazzi, not the most inspiring start to a possible Swindon career.


Title: Re: Swindon V Some Italians Matchday Thread
Post by: suttonred on Thursday, July 5, 2012, 17:24:49
Jeez looking at the 2nd half squad, that would do pretty well in L1 i reckon. The 1st half looked very strong on paper anyway.


Title: Re: Swindon V Some Italians Matchday Thread
Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Thursday, July 5, 2012, 17:25:37
GOAL! De Vita makes it five with a header from a Rooney cross. 5-1 #STFC


Paolo to shake it all about and do the Hokey Kokey.

Last pre-season we didn't concede a single goal I think.. Paolos lost his touch.

Can't believe we conceded a goal not in open play. Infinitely worse defensively than last pre-season.


Title: Re: Swindon V Some Italians Matchday Thread
Post by: Nomoreheroes on Thursday, July 5, 2012, 18:17:47
I wonder whether the first half 11 is PDCs starting 11 and the 2nd half team the ressies ?

FIRST-HALF TEAM: Wes Foderingham; Nathan Thompson, Aden Flint, Alan McCormack, Jay McEveley; Matt Ritchie, Tommy Miller, Alan Navarro, Gary Roberts; James Collins, Andy Williams

SECOND-HALF TEAM: Wes Foderingham (Leigh Bedwell, 69); Simone Materazzi (Chris Smith, 67), Joe Devera, Troy Archibald-Henville, Alessandro Cibocchi; Raffa De Vita, Simon Ferry, Oliver Risser, Luke Rooney; Miles Storey, Paul Benson  


Title: Re: Swindon V Some Italians Matchday Thread
Post by: Nemo on Thursday, July 5, 2012, 18:17:53
In my mind's eye, Materazzi gave away the penalty via headbutt to the chest.

Agreed, but if you look at the two teams the only players in the second half team who will be in with a real shout are Ferry and Caddis - who didn't play tonight through injury.

Would suggest you could add Benson, Archibald-Henville and possibly Rooney to that. Besides, Paolo does like chopping and changing so a first team is a fairly arbitrary concept.

To me our strongest team would have those three on the bench, although I guess they will all have a part to play as the season progresses.  Be interesting to see if Rooney can force his way in and stay there through consistent performances.  I don't see Miller playing a full season or Benson for that matter, impact players from the bench?

I don't think the starting XI will be too far off the starting line up at Hartlepool with the obvious exception of Thompson. I also think there is a reasonable chance that Ferry beats out Miller and Benson starts ahead of Williams*

*as we all well know, you can never second guess Di Canio.

I've had a quick scan through threads so sorry if it's been mentioned. In a daily paper today Paolo has called Balotelli an egotist who thinks the world revolves around him,"  Balotelli is selfish, he deserves a lot of slaps and not pats on the shoulder " " Balotteli does not play for the team only himself" the headline was: " I'd give Mario a slap, says Paolo "
