Off the line!

Corner, free header for Peacock, cleared off the line

Another chance for an unmarked Peacock - missed

Ifil with an overhead kick - saved  :shock:

Another chance for an unmarked Peacock - wide  :x

F****** Peackock get it in the f****** net you c***!!!!

Ended up paying £39 for subscription.   Sounds like we are playing well,  had 5 corners in succession.

Stop f****** about with ******. Just f****** swear for f*** sake

Sounds like Evans is the key for Town,  pulling all the strings

NMH's absence is noted, must be about 8am over there, poor show.

(Barnsley 1 - 0 Leeds. Ahem)

Roberts scored, Pook assist

get in!!!!!!!!!!

woot 1-0

Yeh, its about 0830 for the lightweight from Colorado  :soapy tit wank:

bastards

Bollox, equaliser  :x

1-1, swindon attacking,  hereford then counter attacked with pace and scored.

Good performance for 30 minutes, then the wheels fell off the wagon!

Anyone else feel we really need to win today?

Need to close the gap to the teams at the top which as they are all currently drawing today we could.  Also if Williams wants the job thing we have to win to keep him in the running

Well, yes ... on current half times we stay fourth. Get the win we'd leapfrog Wycombe, presuming nothing changes ... doubtless it will ...

Paul Sturrock's barmy army!!! he would turn us around, no doubt!!!!

Fucking hell. Are you going to ask him for a quickie behind the Stratton Bank if he gets the job? Or are you hoping for 'the job'?

Two reasonable chances from Roberts and Evans...

Sounds like a good game, somewhat end-to-end. Vic Morgan is having an orgasm

Peacock just missed another chance. Come on Cockman

ffs whats up with the cock today??

Peacock misses a sitter!!!!!

What is up with him?

Free kick - Evans lining it up. Come on son

Gayitus

hahah Kingy theres got to be a "hole in the net" :mrgreen:

FFS!!!

I wish these two would calm down :evil:

surely we're gonna win this.

caammm aaannnn

Relentless Swindon pressure for the 1st 20 minutes of the second half.

rhodes is gonna do stuff, just you watch.

Fuck a duck :evil:

Oh fuck suck, they've just scored again  :twisted:

:(

Brian Howard knocks Barnsley into a 3-2 lead against Leeds....

We will stay in fourth even if we do lose this which we probably will.

6910 there today

Can we just get a manager asap, please.  :(

They need to make an appointment this week - FACT!

live league table says we remain 4th as it stands

I agree, williams aint the man, always said that, we definitley need a manager this week!!!!!

Who in your opinion is the man for the job?

Sturrock or Nijholt, Sturrock for me!!

We cannot go on like this, 2 home defeats in a row is terrible and unacceptable!!

I'll add it to the list...

Jesus we cannot score for shit!

Can we have a new manager and some one who can get the ball in the bleedin' net please?????

So then, rockincockrobincock. I want you to stop sitting on the fence and tell us who you think should get the manager's job.

Go on then!

I'll wait for eye-witness opinions, but I'll wager we didn't deserve to lose today. However you make your own luck and have to take chances like we created today. Another bad day at the office...

Bet Barry Hunter had some choice words of wisdom this week for them.

"In my experience if you go out and play really badly we'll all get relegated."

macari,sturrock or mcallister by mid week. please!

We had the better of things. They hit us on the break twice. It was a game we should not have lost but we looked shakey (no pun) all day down our right hand side.

However we are not converting possesion into quality chances. Most of our shots were poor.

Williams is needed on the pitch and a new manager is needed off it. We need to snap out of this now because we don't have a bad squad.

i've never agreed with player/managers myself, it doesnt work, williams should be on that pitch but due to last weeks fuck up he feels like he shouldnt be, any other manager would still have him on that pitch regardless of what happened last week.

off topic i think brez' broken arm has taken over my FM07 game, hes playing like shit, as if he had a broken arm.

that wasnt good enough from start to finish.

we have to get a new manager in on monday

How we didn't win today, I'll never know. We were all over them, until they scored in both halves. Peacock could have had a couple with headers and Brown ought to have scored from a yard in front of the town end. Fola shouldn't have been dropped, we've seen he can cause problems despite not being a natural finisher...hope he play in place of Shakes next week.

New keeper doesn't seem to keen to come for crosses and maybe he should have raced out to clear the ball before their first goal.

because we were fucking shite

We kept lumping it forward, and when we did get it out wide we lumped it into the box without anyone even in there.

The performance reminded me of some of the games last season. Awful.

we were not all over them at all STFC Chris, we just fucking hit long balls all day long that Roberts wont bother ever jumping for, in centre mid we have Evans who is the best passer at the club, so we miss him out and go from defence to attack and give possesion away, FUCKING SHIT PERFORMANCE

Can only echo DV's comments, fucking dreadful today. Hereford were appallingly bad, which says it all really.

Please please please appoint Sturrock next week

I didnt bother today but the game on the radio seems to have been a completely different one to the game people on here saw?

Swindontartanarmy told my mate on the phone that during the Celtic Vs Hearts game the commentators said that Sturrock would be appointed Tuesday.

 I thought it was a decent sort of game.....this is Div 4, Hereford worked hard showed more passion than our players, and  were quick on the break.

  We played some neat stuff at times, but huff and puff when it comes to the business end.

   I believe part of the problem is that some of our players think they're better than what they are.....it's imperitive that a new man comes in to kick some arse......Barry Hunter's Barmy Army

Echoed by Browns(who else) post match comments "if you look at the sides on paper we have 11 better players on the pitch than they do,though of course the game isnt played on paper"Mind thats probably true isnt it?

Lincoln are better than us and I haven't seen Walsall yet-but I'd suspect they are as well

As usual we has a promising first 30 min, playing the wings spreading play out, then after we scored we just fell asleep, we had chance after chance, ifil's over head being the best but no one could score.

All in all a once again the better team lost when she shouldnt have.

Appoint a manager, i dont care who, just someone.

I disagree they looked dangerous on the counter attack and i can't remeber clear cut chances for us too often

There was very little wing play to get behind the defence, mostly long balls which Peacock often headed, but failed to find our players. Roberts did not even jump for headers, as per usual,but got in to a few good positions with skill and speed, only to waste them with poor long range shots or trying to do too much.
Think we missed Fola rampaging around, and Adie's calm speaking presence in defence.

I didn't say we had any clear cut chances? We were shit, they were slightly less shit

How about the cross by Roberts right across the box in the 2nd half which Peacock completely missed?

Sorry, Mrs NMH insisted that I went to the gym ! :cry:

I'm reliving the match now through reading post. Have no idea what the score was ! Am excited !!!!

NMH

F*ck !

Wish I hadn't bothered now ! :cry:

NMH

I nearly added 'he's probably at the gym' when I wrote it.  :shock:

nothing was 'up' he was the same as usual

plenty of decent first-touches and effort, usually far too deep- coupled with the fact that overall he's actually a bit of a cart horse- meant he was relatively crap

I don't think it was a terrible performance today, at all. We had our chances and if we were able to finish, we could have gone away with all three points and won by 4 or so....
I thought Peacock played well, but he seems to lack confidence infront of goal. Pook was surprisingly very good, whereas Evans was surprisingly poor IMO. But you have to let him off as he's just regaining full fitness.
Roberts played well and showed some neat touches, but like Peacock, cannot finish off chances in the final third (apart from the goal, of course)

I can't remember Hereford attacking us much at all....they were very good on the counter attack, i will give them that, but we were all over them for the majority of the match, but again we struggle to finish our chances and its cost us, once again.

Not a bad performance, but we should have won this easily.

or rather nobody was within 10 foot of him whenever he won the ball, meaning he can't exactly do anything with it and loses it.

a typical Town performance today. looked sharp went ahead then concede a stupid equaliser due to a mistake then lose our way and half time can't come quick enough for us. then we come out second half and batter them only for them to get a shit goal on the break. unlucky? yes but you have to take your chances in football and we didn't

to an extent i agree.

but 10 foot?! thats 3 fucking yards. the fact he cant make a 3 yd pass sums him up.

IMO today was just king and Iffy eras revisited.  We were poor and Hereford were worse yet managed to lose because we didn't get into positions to finish chances.  Very depressing.  Thought Evans and Peacocok were particularly poor although it was Evo's first game back.  We missed Weston in the middle and Williams at the back.  On the plus side, Roberts was back to early season form.

That was shite! 6 points dropped in the last 2 games.  

I cant think of owt else to say. :shrug:

we had so much possesion at one point when hereford gained possesion we were singing to their fans "whats it like to have the ball"

if we had a parkin like figure we would have scored 5 today, we desperately need a goalscorer, i think that is more important than a manager.

it's not that he can't make the pass, it's that there's nobody near him because he has to drop so deep to get the ball or push out wide because brown is playing in central midfield.

but thats his choice sonic that is how he plays and thats fair enough.the fact is we dont want him dropping deep and going out wide i would say i want him in the box but when he is he does fuck all.anyone else notice that when a cross comes in he jumps about 2 seconds to early.

as for jamie vincent dont get me fuckin started on him

agreed with all of this. vincent is sound defensively but he's just got no awareness of whats around him.

Nicho HAS to play left back with Big Willie back in the middle.Vincent is a ball-watcher,a liability at the back.
