They have only lost once at home all season...but that was last Monday to another team also on 28 points.

Can we sustain our heroic form at The Valley?  Here's hoping.

PS  Forgot to mention - I'm feeling a little superstitious this morning.  So let's have another 9 pages of vitrioic abuse in Wilson's direction please at the start of this thread.  Should ensure another fine away performance.

I heard danny wilson said edam was better than brie. wilson wouldn't know how to pick a cheese if it had a flag in it saying pick me.

2 1 town

What?! I will not stand for this nonsense!

3-0 Town..Austin, Ritchie, Rose

Having broken the 'not coming from behind to win since when was the last time Dave?' hoodoo in the last game, we will break the 'no clean sheets since I don't know when' hoodoo today.

I'm going to avoid listening to it or having any idea of the score until it's over. It worked at The Valley, it will work at Boundary Park.

I'm leaving in a minute....on me jack jones after a number of fallers....

I bet Prutton plays a blinder...

Oh well...new ground for me and all that!

My memories of Oldham - big car park. Groun sold beefy flavoured drinks (not Bovril or Oxo). Hope this information helps you out.

...FACT!


There you go Bary, always happy to oblige 8)

2-0 to Oldham.

We'll lose.

Before the team is announced can I just say its a fucking disgrace and we're doomed. I went 3-0 Charlton and laughed when the team sheet was announced. So 3-0 Oldham and why the fuck did Wilson pick this team - cluelesss twat.

Bipolar predictometer has swung to...

We're gonna win 10-0 and stuff the bastards, with the returning Douglas scoring a hatrick and Alan O'Brien providing eight assists.

Key game after the highs of monday. We should be full of confidence, and Oldham will be crapping it, no idea on the score though, although I'm hoping 2-0 win.

Wilson is going to FUCK this UP. The guy is clearly a one season wonder type manager who has no plan b, he's been FOUND OUT at this level and teams now all know how to play us. All of them.

We should be in the CHAMPIONSHIP at least. Why does wilson persist with certain players etc

I think we should hire a moaning cybertwat in the mould of a glos robin or a flammable ben as our next manager. proven track record of being right after the event is just what we need

Sounds like your in the running too

3-1 to us today, Charlie another brace perhaps?

Pfft, Ben couldn't even get in the Adver hunks calendar, what chance does he have as manager?

3-1 town

1-1.

We'll lose 2-0 and this place'll look like it did after the bournmouth match

Hi Dave...what was the Brock/Poole result.......double figures?
Did you see the Austin interview on Football lge Weekend?

1-1

Crispy to hopefully get arrested

And bein Oldham maybe a Pakistani PC with a grudge....gods sake Crispy make sure you take the right flag with you!

Big test today.

A win and we can really push on this season and who knows...

Prediction:
Wilson will keep the same team as at Charlton, which is the queue for a stream of abuse from many on the TEF.
Or
Wilson changes the team from Charlton, queue a stream of abuse from many on the TEF.

As for the game, how anyone can guess what our team is likely to produce is beyond me. So any prediction appears to be total guesswork, therefore I will go for a 0-0 bore draw

A loss and then a 36 page inquest into why Wilson may or may not be shit.

Always good to say hello to the lose fetishists who disappear when we win though ;)

Where's the fence, oh there it is.

I dont know whats going to happen.

I dont know what team is best to play.

I dont know if Wilson is a good manager or not.

I dont know if Charlie is going to southampton / reading / newcastle / brimingham / barcelona

A win would be nice though.

I do know the ref will be crap.

Dicked.

good point... a moaning twat I may be, but I'm a realist when it comes to football!

Wilson in!

1-1.austin signing off with a late equalizer.

Morning Lee

Poole beat Brock 4-1

And I missed the Charlie thingy, not having Sly you see

1-2 victory. Another coming from behind success. Huzzah!

1-0 Frampton

I don't think we're quite there on the clean sheet front so I'll stick with a low-scoring draw. So what arriba said.

Oh and a sending off. For us.

Frampton.....have they got a team?

Chortle. The power of a comma.

1-0, Frampton.

You just can't tell with us. Oldham are a good side at home though so it will be tough.

Ferry? Just so our centre midfield doesn't get the chance to settle down for a few games :)

Coming away from Oldham with a point would be a good achievement. Not tho if we are winning 1-0 with 5 mins left.

2-2.  Would love to see us build from Monday, but can't see us doing better than a point.  Having catagorically said that we'd lose on Monday, I am more than happy to be proved completely wrong once again  :)

I'd definitely take a point today. :pint:

1-1 , Ferry

3-1.

Austin, Ferry and Pericard.

Town unchanged. Dougie on the bench.

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2260932,00.html

Good move.

J-P doesn't make it on the bench.

Ominous move.

Fucking awful decision.  Dougie is our captain and should always play.  Add your own moans, to get this up to 9 pages of vitriol as Ardiles wanted. ;)

Thought you would be there, donkey.  Almost a local game for you?

Edit: scrub that...it's over 100 miles!

Very Happy......every player deserves it after Charlton....no excuses now.
As for Douglas.....cut out the stupid challenges,head down and get back playing to how we know.

Bye Bye McGovern.

Happy he has stuck with the same team

And the wife is celebrating her 40th today.  And Oldham's shite.  And Oldham's cold.

Good decision to stick with the same side..

What's going on with JP?

A very happy birthday to Mrs Donkey.

You aren't telling us you've taken her to Oldham as her surprise present are you?

I'll do my bit... I can say without fear of hyperbole that Wilson is clearly worse than Hitler for doing this... Whatever it is.

I blame Vince.

Hmmmm..hope he's inured or ill...I don't want to lose JPM :hmmm:

[/
She says thank-you.


If I did that I'd not have to worry about a 41st birthday present. :(

He also hasn't wished my wife happy birthday, a bloody disgrace.  Wilson out.

Just dont fall in the the wrong lot and get home pissed ;)

Happy Birthday Mrs Donkey.

I can understand not changing the team, but Douglas along with Austin would be the exceptions in my view. Never mind, he can always come on later...

It's ok, he's on t'bench 8)

JPM is on the bench after all.

He lives!

:nod:

I really hope today is the sign that things are turning in the right direction. Not Charlton just being a big club blip.

If we don't win I'll blame that cunt Aljokefree - ha, ha I think I've just invented a funny name. We're still short of the 9 pages of vitriol - that is not a good sign. Come on everyone.

Can't believe Wilson's kept the same team. Shows a total lack of imagination and must surely be the final straw.

/token vitriol

Oldham would have seen our system at Charlton, they'll know what to do.

I hope Wilson sorts his lack of 'Plan B' out when we go behind today.

no hope of winning this, nothings changed.

nil all

I've got a feeling that Charlie is due a sending off :(

taaaaaaaaaaaaaaylor

I'll be surprise if AoB lasts 90 mins.

#Genuine concern.

He's only one booking away from a suspension.

3v0 win

Today is a game where i think we will find out what we can really expect this season. I am hopefull the Charlton game can kickstart our season.

Fucks sake

Oh fuck

Completely your fucking fault.

You fucking cunt drs

yeah. ok.

We're fucked now. We never win when going behind.

cunting taylor

Positivity mode on, we've worked out that we can win from behind now so we're giving them a head start.

Piss.

Wilson out.

we always win when we go behind these days

hahaha for fuck sake.

no change then

Odd Sky Sports have a reporter at our game!  

There goes the clean sheet

Who was at fault for the goal?  Scapegoat of the day?

  :(

4-2 then :D

Dean Ashton

We can't get enough of this 'make it hard for ourselves' malarkey  :eek:

Fs, what a shit signing Ashton was. Malpas out.

How have we responded?

By being a bit miffed

We blamed Dean Ashton and Maurice Malpas.

I'm blaming OST for the early goal.
Now we'll have a hoodoo hoodoo.
FACT!

:no:

By doing the hokey cokey.

Prutton?

Did someone forget to tell them that just because we have finally come from behind to win a game, doesn't mean we have to give every team we play a head start now

So what do we want to talk about today?

I wonder what stunning backdrop the Swindon U-5's photographed themselves in front of today...

A bus top? A mosque? A KFC?

You should shoulder the responsibility like a man. Hoodoo boy

Wilson asked the players to prove last time wasn't just a fluke.

Has to be Ritchie, now he's signed for us

I'm listening to the Oldham commentary it's very good. Caddis with great defending according to them.

http://www.roughyeds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/NEW-HOLLANDS-LOGO1-4.jpg

Hahaha I hope so.

Same, the Swindon commentary is choppy as fuck. I think Caddis has really improved defensively in the past few games, probably quicker than I'd thought he would. Starting to see why we signed him.

Me too.

And I thought our commentary was poor.

Theres is much better ralphy they actually commentate

Is AOB even playing not heard his name once!

Not listening very hard, he was mentioned a fair bit in the first five minutes. Sounds like the games gone a bit quiet really...O'Brien just mentioned again putting in a decent cross...anyone would think you were looking for a reason to moan.

How?

COME ON YOU REDS! I still love you even if nobody else does.

I was hoping a moan would make him score!!

On Player

I assume the lack of posts implies a lack of action?

Usually, yes.

The Co Commentator on the Oldham commentary isn't the brightest spark.

Can anybody confirm how many goals O'Brien has scored for the First Team?

None im guessing

You know it's zero.

Seven posts in total, four of them moaning about Alan O'Brien. Jesus, did he shag your wife? I don't think he's much good but there's a bit of an obsession there.

Yeovil & Walsall are both winning 1-0

Yep, we are currently set for a bad day.

COME ON SWINDON!

Zero............therefore a moan about him is justified............

BUT, sods law is, that if I say something like 'I think with O'Brien playing we are effectively playing with 10 men'.......

then no doubt he will get one

Nearly a pen!

How many goals has Jonathan Douglas scored for us TimFod?

In that case, say it.

Bournemouth are flying there 2 up

But he's not a forward.

How many goals has Douglas got for us?

Why is it bad if he scores just to prove you wrong? Do you support Swindon?

From the Oldham commentary it sounds like they're all over us.

Pericard will turn this game around in the second half!  8)

Tranny scored against Walsall

Is it half-time yet?

Half Time.

Yes

Lifted her skirt and poked the ball home with his todger.

I am waiting in excitement for Danny Wilsons half time changes... Dossevi and Pericard in - O'Brien and Prutton out!

What a difference a year makes a year ago today 6000 fans at fulham

Then we were ful now we're old.

We'll take Oldham in the second hand. Hopefully Wilson has told the players to SHOOT!

Ben Amos is a crap goalie. He was in Molde in the Norwegian Premier League on loan last season and made a fool of himself the few games he got before he was benched and sent back to United...

Were his performances rotten?

No changes.

Second half, no changes.

Sounds like Morrison is playing well(but nobody else)

I would give it 10 mins then changes will be made

Very much so. He came from Man Utd to norwegian football, and the pundits thought he would be in a league of himself. He turned out to cost Molde so many points and later got benched after a dozen games.

Ashley Grimes scores for Lincoln

I think you missed the joke mate!

Playing for Molde (Mold) and his performances were rotten !

We sound like we're lacking energy.

Shity 2 nil down

Wendies 2 up against the slave traders.

Saints 1 Blackpool 0 (Barnard)

 :D Oh, I missed that one, yes!

Ball on for Obrien
Douglas on for Timlin.

Douglas and Ball on for O'Brien and Timlin.

ball for AOB
Douggie for Timlin

Good changes imho.

I won.

Come on Ball, go out with a bang

wøøsh?

Easton scores for the ressy's

8111 :)


3500 attn. Appalling.

281 Town. Not bad.

Hahah, Morgan reading the date as the attendence :D

Oh dear, Vic Morgan you tool!

Same old Swindon this performance

That's ok, but who is going to score for the first team

Corner.

It fits in the Pompey Chimes tune too.

Ball force corner.

Frampton down. Cuthbert on.

Frampton down....great.

Or not.

Frampton injured.

Frampton inured (groin). Of course he is. We've just signed him on season long loan.

FFS. Cuthbert on

Confirmed. Wonderful.

Cuthbert coming on. Frampton groin strain.

Is this gonna be it?

Reminds me of the DJ who read out a shout "for Arthur, who's 111 today. Oh, sorry, he's ill today."

Subs wise yes.

The Trannies are 3-1 up now

Yeovil 2 up :(

Yeovil 2 up and Oxford are winning FFS

Aldershot goal ruled out against pox

Wilson OUT!  :doh: :doh: :doh:

Another bad substitution. Even with Frampton injured he should rock the changes of formation and push forward. Now we have to strikers on the bench that won't come in to the game, and we will return to Wiltshire with 0 points.

City 3 down v Wendies

Shitheads are 3-0 down now

Peterborough 4-0 down at Fulham :)

Corner to Town after a good move.

Result of day so far surely Bolton 0 v 0 York

Come on Swindon, still time to turn this round.

Come on Town, time to get a goal

Come on. A point isn't all bad

Come on Town. Up the tempo.

0 v 0
   0


Can you tell I'm bored?

"Current scoreline of the day" ?

Oldhams only shot on target has been there goal!

This game really is a case of after the lord mayors show!  Typical of STFC this season! Depressing!

Come on Town, twenty minutes left.

This has seemed to happen to us a few times this season

Curtis Weston scores for the pikeys

TEF has depressed me more :)

Typical :(
Next weeks game is mahoosive, more mahoosiver than before. Gay

Sign up all three amateurs in the Samsung Win a Pro finals... we need them all!

Not over yet.

Depressing thing is I genuinely thought we would win today

This is fucking dire.

The commentator has tempted fate by saying charlie hasn't done much/

Really? Away to an Oldham team who've lost once at home all season and that was Monday? A point is a good result here.

Notts Co now 2 up at Sunderland.

Well, we ain't gonna get the point neither  :badmood:

Agree a point would be good but I Did think we could get all 3 points after monday

Silly assumption given the way our season has gone.

Fucking hell, at least give it a fucking go town.

Not even sounding likley.

It's depressing that we can't carry on any momentum after Monday.

Is Austin still on the pitch? He hasn't seen the ball at all.

We should have hired Gus Poyet!

Anyway, now I'd stick with Osvaldo Ardiles. Isn't he available??

Scummers have conceded!

Even more depressing is that we don't even sound like we are giving it a right go to get an equaliser.

ALdershot HAVE equalised against the scum

Probably been marked out of the game. I'm not sure if Wilson has changed the formation and put Ball up top. Can't tell with the commentary.

Barry Corr scores for the stiffs.

Fit Corr > Pericard + Dossevi.

Corr now scored for the reserves...

This sounds shit!

Wilson out? Ha

Probably because it is !!!

Looking forward to Dannys post match interview. Bet he will say something that we've never heard before and really get us fired up for the next game home vs. Yeovil.

Match predictions: STFC - Yeovil 0-1

Easton scored the other for the reserves.

Rose hits the post. That was a chance.

Rose hits the post.

Bollocks. Unlucky Rose.

Stupid question, but if Rose can hit them that well, how come he ended up playing left back? Stick him up front for a bit King style :D

His free kicks are class aren't they!

Penalty oldham/

Austin handball. penalty.

Back to our best then.  Unsurpringly it appears that Monday was a fluke and as per every time this season we've put in a good performance, we've followed it up with a pathetic one.

I would also question Ball being brought on given that it's been stated that his loan isn't being extended as he's clearly not good enough.

Typical  - Rose free kick hits the post!

Fuck sake.

Austin gives away ANOTHER penalty. And he's ....yellowed...And we are fucked

Fs Austin handball, penalty, gets a yellow and misses the next game. FUCK

phew yellow. glad my prediction was wrong.

Austin gives away another penalty.

Yep - shame thats been our biggest threat today!

2-0 gave over. Austin suspended for Yeovil. Agghhhh!

You should be the manager! Danny Wilson would never think of that!

thats a ban for Austin and no points for us

All over FUCK YOU Wilson
               SORT this shit out

Austin out! Liability.

4-6-0 and hope for a draw?

If only all of these mediocre League Two players mentioned were still at Swindon so the Austin suspension wouldnt matter.

Lets hope Wilson has a couple of forwards lined up before Saturday.

To be honest if you're reading this forum all next week they'll probably assume Wilson will play that formation. I'm off to slit my wrists if anyone cares to join me?

this second half has sounded utter wank.

we havent even had a go

the highlight was the attendance being read out as 8.1.11

Peri and Dossevi to both score hattricks in a stunning 6-7 defeat!

booooooooooooo

Yep, only smile of the day. Say what you like about Vic, but he makes me laugh.

Sounds like Monday was a TV/shop window performance.

Austin you're a cunt for a brain dead handball.
The rest of the team you're all cunts for only being to play against the big teams.
Wilson you're a cunt for signing shit forwards.
The rest of you are all cunts because you are.

Grrrrrr.

Didn't listen to most of the game in the end. Any mention of Ashton being there?

Pfffffffffft.

We'll i'd have probably taken 2 points from the last 2 and we've got 3 so it's not all bad. Let's remember that Charlton were awful on Monday and Oldham are a good side. It's these home games coming up that we should be winning against the likes of Yeovil and Tranmere.

Don't think I'm even going to bother to be honest.  Pericard and Dossevi up front - no thanks!

Another afternoon to be forgotton, there's been far too many of them this season.  

 

A defeat at home to Yeovil and I think the pressure on Wilson might hit tilting point.

What a load of rubbish!

Looking forward to next week.

1) Danny Wilson sacked, Fitton hires a Football Director and seek professional guidance before hiring a new manager, Peter Shirtliff also leaves and Paul Bodin will be caretaker for the coming weeks. Swindon offers a contract to Burton Albions Paul Peschisolido, Roy Keane or Micky Hazard - turning up at CG with his cab!

2) Fitton gives Wilson the vote of confidence. Wilson says he's going to need a couple of new experienced players before next weekend. Come saturday we haven't signed any. We play another crap game vs. Yeovil and loose at home.

Just heard on the radio that Austin might not be suspended as there is some sort of amnesty with yellow cards at the moment? Hope they are right.

That sums us up. We only play well against the teams our players perceive as bigger than us. This is why we'll lose at home to Yeovil on Saturday. I fucking hate this season.

you're a bit mental aren't you?

Austin should be banned from our penalty area. And everyone else should be banned

Google confirms the amnesty got moved from Feb to 31 Dec last season. Unless it has changed Austin shouldn't be suspended

Define "a bit" ?

 :suicide:

totally retarded

They're all a bit mental in Scandinavia at this time of year...too much darkness and gloom. THink Edvard Munch.

This shit was a bit predictable, been the shape of the season and will probably continue...which will mean we'll have to look down rather than up, but we should just about have enough to stay up.

FFS I spend a nice relaxing hour or two fitting a new keyboard in a customers lappie, then these clowns go and totally fuck things up for me

And so it bloody should.  Had we not put in a performance like that at Charlton, he would probably have joined the list of managerial casualties come Monday morning.

Monday was a classic example of a fluke result when the pressure is on the team and the manager coupled with being on tv.  I said I'd reserve judgement until after the next couple of games and would happily retract my 'Wilson Out' thoughts/comments if necessary.  Clearly that won't be necessary!

Frampton now injured, so do I assume we will be trying to get another experienced centre back in?  Probably not, we'll revert to the tried and failed partnership of Morrison and Cuthbert.  If Austin is suspended, I would also suggest it's prudent to move for a forward in the next week.  However, I'm not the manager  :)

I think he should be institutionalised. All his Wilson slating is getting a bit ott.

We should be moving for a forward regardless of whether Austin is out or not.

That is abso-f***-lutely right!  :D I wanna see the sun again soon!

 :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

Yes

I am institutionalised. They got wi-fi here!

I'll give Wilson the benefit of the doubt come the post match interview :)

We're a typical lower than mid table side this year. Prediction would be to finish between 13th-19th.

Totally agree, we should have been looking for another forward since Paynter left, but we all know that!

We signed Dossevi and Ball (on loan). Neither have been up to Paynter's standard, which is surprising really.

I wasn't happy about missing our game against Yeovil next week due to my sister deciding to have her wedding day when Town are at home but now i'm quite pleased i'm missing it. (The Yeovil game not her wedding)

That chink of light has now gone.

my opinion hasn't changed.

i'm more concerned about the plans for next season.shit seasons often follow successful ones,frustrating as it is.
what we need are solid plans to get us on track for promotion next year.
that needs deciding now imo.

True, but it's been clear for a couple of months they're not good enough.

Anyone else hear the text from Flash being read out on the radio?  He said something along the lines of 'When Prutton is MOM that's how bad it's got'.

Don't just fucking state what we all know is wrong wilson you twat, it's your job to fucking to find out the reasons and sort it out. Not just sound baffled.

Think of the midnight sun...that should get you through.

This is how I imagine Norway Red....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjVw5Hr3NcE

I don't disagree, just that things are easier to say in hindsight. Dossevi has played for Togo and Ball came highly rated and also very few thought Paynter was the player he actually was, even when he left.


Yep, my exact thoughts. I just think it's gone stale for Wilson here. We've either got to back him with more money which is a risk, sack him now, or start thinking about who to get in before the summer kicks in.

Chill out Benjani...Wilson is entitled to bafflement, performance of the week followed by dross, within 5 days, with the same players.

Haha! Well ain't that a coincident! It is actually ME - Norway Red - who has filmed and edited that video ;)

It was filmed in southern Sweden and some in Southern Norway, cut together. The night scene is filmed 1 1/2 hours south of Lillehammer!

HAHA! Brilliant !

Dossevi came here having only scored 9 goals since 2007, an average of 3 a season - Wilson must have known he wouldn't have scored even half the amount of goals that Paynter did last season.

Danny Wilson hasn't given them the chance, really. I think Dossevi could have made an impact if he were to play games and not just come on the last quarters. Everbody can't be Steve White!

wilson just confirmed on radio austin not suspended so thats a relief i for one am backing wilson i think the players should look at themselves how can we do what we did to charlton and put in two shite performances in like that either side of it we're clearly good enough just inconsistant so come on lads sort it out

Norway Red is my new favourite poster now Spacey has gone into semi-retirement!

It's surprising because we hyped them up and down-played Paynter's ability. Fair enough they haven't been good and that is Wilson's fault, but he looked for strikers and got them in. They just weren't good enough, that's the only part he fucked up.

 :clap: I really hope you enjoy it!

Hopefully I will add a flavour between Hunter S. Thompson and Edvard Munch to this TEF  :hmmm:

I think the problem is, other than the departure of Greer and Paynter, there is little difference from last year's squad.  Indeed, we've now got a bigger squad, but we seem to have a lot more fringe, back-up players.  In fairness to Wilson, the money wasn't there to buy a big name striker, and - sorry to mention him again - but Sam Parkin didn't set the world alight before coming to STFC.

We were extremely fortunate last season to get Ward on loan, and we probably overachieved due to a very clinical strikeforce.  We nicked a lot of games just because of Paynter and Austin's strike conversion rate.  Losing at Oldham is not slit-your-wrist time - the important games are the next two coming up.

I for one cannot understand the Wilson bashing.  We had an excellent season last year, and yes we've struggled, but we're about to undergo major changes.  Austin is likely to leave in the summer, but with a hefty transfer fee we should be able to give the squad a big overhaul.  I'd like to see him given until at least the summer (assuming we're not in the bottom four) and then reassess the situation then.  Now is not the time for chopping and changing a manager - what does it matter if we finish 7th or 20th?

But we've scored 2 more goals this season than at the same stage last season, which suggests offensively we've done OK.

Are you insane? Possibly the strangest thing I've seen posted on TEF, and that's saying something.

I'm pretty sure, when you consider our budget, performance last year (which for the umpteenth time wasn't an over achievement, it was expected by the board) and the targets set by Fitton at the beginning of the season, that in the Chairman's eyes, and the minds of the right-minded fan, there is a huge difference between just missing out on a PO spot and surviving by the skin of our teeth.

And that's before you consider prize money, selling the club to prospective summer signings, crowds, next year's ST sales etc etc etc.

"Play on the telly, we only play on the telly, play on the teeeeellllyyy, we only play on the telly"

Wisdom beyond your years 'rus.I seriously dont believe we will go down and the key to next year is how wisely DW spends the Austin cash.The majority of players he has brought to the club have been decent so I'm optimistic.

Not all of us, someone us stuck up for Paynter from the start and could see he was a very good player.

Wilson tried to replace him, we've signed strikers - it hasnt worked. I would have liked to have seen us bring someone else in when it was clear it hadnt worked.

We at least tried to replace Paynter (who most thought would be easy to replace) unlike that other dude.

Last time, we didnt over achieve last season - we achieved.

Under Malpas we were 18th in L1 and out all the cups by late December. Now we're in January under Wilson we are 18th in L1 and out all the cups. Yet failure seems more tolerated under Wilson than Malpas?

 because we achieved under his guidance last season

We need to forget last season though. That was then and this is now.

There were quite a few people. I generalised for the majority.

Probably because of what went on in between

no we dont forget last season.we remember how good it was,hope to better it,and plan ways of doing so.

Indeed, dont forget it - its the level of expectation the board, manager and plays have set themselves.

hope to better it and plans ways of doing so - is what this season should of been but it hasnt, this season has been a flat out failure.

Right now, we either back Wilson with cash in hope he can better last season next season or sack him now and give the new gaffer a chance to shape the squad to his liking.

Last season was good upto march. That's about it.

This season has been totally unacceptable, I can't see Wilson lasting much longer especially if we fail to win next week but i have no doubt that he won't be here next season, How could Fitton possibly keep him on? He's failed his objectives just like Malpas did and he got the boot and Wilson will too.

There is no-one else to blame, Today's comments on the radio by Morrison summed it up for me "There was no desire" Why wasn't there any desire? That's down to Wilson and his motivational skills or lack of.

We can't put 2 wins together and it's getting beyond a joke now.

I personally quite enjoyed the season up until 3 seconds into the play off final.

Charlton was quality night and obviously past march.

AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH! Read these comments. We are all morons.

There's got to be more to life than this? Let's go outside, read a book... Something!

Was he though? I'd see he was an average league 1 striker for 2 seasons*, and a very good player for the best part of 1.

The fact that the two strikers brought in aren't living up to Paynters last seasons isn't that surprising.

I think Wilson spotted this and tried to spread the goals round the team. Rose the free kick specialist. Prutton. Caddis as an attacking full back.

Problem is that perhaps due to this the team is leakier than a sieve. Even against Charlton where we totally dominated we conceded 2, 1 was fortunate and the other a near carbon copy of Bournemouth's winner. Another 4 shipped in 2 games :(

Just my opinion like.

Turn off our television sets, go outside and do something less boring instead?

"Play at the Valley, we only play at the Valley...."

Got back a while ago (I live in Manchester) and can;t believe what I witnessed today. Oldham were crap, absolute dogshit and so were we. That was a huge 3 points dropped today. If we can't beat teams like Oldham when they are there for the taking... then forget it. We showed no desire to play at all.

Smith had nothing to do - except pick the ball out twice and Alan O' Brien should of been taken round the back and shot after about 5 minutes  :suicide:. Rose had a shocker and nearly redeemed himself with his free kick. Austin was completely isolated with no support.

I know many said that DW had to "keep a winning side" but if Dougie played from the start, we would of been writing about a win as Oldham were poor and it would of suited JD completely with his style of play. One shot (I think) on goal in 90 minutes is terrible for a team that have aspirations of play-offs.

Don't get me wrong there were positives with Prutton running his socks off, Caddis played well and was a shame Frampton went off when he did as we seemed to of lost the impetus after he was subbed.

Rant over. Any chance of a refund? :hmmm: :hmmm:

I was accosted by Samaritans on the street in OT last night....I tried to explain to the bird I was with, that they'd probably forsaken sitting behind a phone for a more up front approach, because this statistically is  :suicide: prime time.

This is the best post I've ever read on TEF!  :nod:

Honestly, I've got to do more with my life.

Football is great and I'll never give up on Swindon but I might give up on TEF!

""The top teams are getting consistent results even when they aren't playing well. We have to offer more going forward, but we weren't able to make any more changes after the hour as we had used all three substitutes - but that happens in football." (Danny Wilson, 7/1-11)

NO SHIT??

You made the three substitutions, remember??

Attention whore!

No one ever leaves - just ask sonicyouth, arriba and Fred Elliot...

After taking in your suggestions I've come to the conclusion it would be pointless to go outside and read a book, its dark

When I left I got a job within about 2 months.

Dave's post is completely spot on.

The next couple of weeks are going to be fairly defining in where we go from here in terms of results, transfers in and out and who's in charge.  The board has some decisions to make on all of these counts.

I'm as stubborn as a mule... I'll go to great lengths to prove a point. If I go... I'll be like dust in the wind.

Where were we? Oh yeah.

Is it about time we terminate Alan O'Brien... He's taking valuable oxygen from more important people.

...and how did that work out for you?

apparently taking a shit on a panini is a sackable offence.

haha 13000+ posts suggest you couldn't survive

if you are going to fuck off though, spare the goodbye letter and just get it done

It's like the Hotel California in here

Or maybe Luis Bunuel's Exterminating Angel

Hahaha.

Because Malpas was a clueless twat who nobody liked?

I still say Danny Wilson is one of the best managers outside of the top flight. I'm sticking by him.

 :crash:

I wonder if this match rapport will make any sense with Google translate or Babelfish?

http://www.heiaswindon.com/archives/557 (http://www.heiaswindon.com/archives/557)

I can translate most of this bit "Vi hadde Billy Paynter, Gordon Greer og Danny Ward".

Why do you say that Ralphy? Would you honestly prefer Wilson to most of the managers in the Championship?

Dave Jones, Sean O'Driscoll, Kenny Jackett, Simon Grayson, Billy Davies, Nigel Clough, Malky Mackay, Paul Lambert, Mark Robins, Brian McDermott, Neil Warnock, Aidy Boothroyd, Steve Cotterill, Nigel Pearson, Brendan Rodgers, Keith Millen, Ian Baraclough, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Tony Mowbray, Stuart Gray, Micky Adams, Dougie Freedman, Phil Brown

There's a few in there I'd take over him if we had that sort of pulling power as a club. But if it was Wilson, or someone out of a job or currently at a lower league side (the more realistic situation) I think we're better where we are.

Only 2 for me-Jones,Lambert

Sean o Driscoll would do for me. Good football with very few resources but solid foundations.

Ok i will flip that argument round. How many championship teams would want Wilson instead of who they currently got?

Malky Mackay is doing a fucking excellent job at Watford with bugger all money and youngsters.

I have'nt trawled back through......so here goes...

Well i went and it was freezing....2 degrees pre kick off....i left Calne at 9!

Oldham are like us....mediocre...

Piss poor first goal....NEVER...let a defender turn you and then stand off.  I thought that Smith thought that it was going wide...it was'nt.

We got into them at times without looking like we would score.

Austin was woeful today and the whole side looked off the pace.

Rose was the worst today and even his kick hit the bar poor sod. His support for O'Brien was crap and played it consatntly too long, too short or hospital.

Prutton was my MOM..(it hurts)...and did very little wrong without setting up anything solid.

Oldham were there for the taking today and even playing as bad as we did we deserved at least a point.

Shit ground and shit Meat and Potato pies.

These two teams will probably finish where they are right now.......i would settle for that at this point in time.

Just got back, proper shit performence.

Don't be too hard on yourself, it's not always easy getting back from Oldham

Saw something on tv on friday about this, football league weekend iirc.

Watford have a school nearby to their academy so the boys get to train twice a day during school hours when they're not knackered after a day at school. Great idea and Watford are now reaping the benefits with 3 or 4 young lads coming through to their first team.

Glad I stayed off here last night. Some people need to step away from the keyboard a little bit.

Flash, I heard your text read out on t'radio as I was driving. It made me smile when I heard you admit that Prutton was MOTM :)

He was by far............the bastard!!!

has pullen gone then?
shame as he was alright imo.
will be a temporary absence i'm sure.

that made me think,where talk talk had got to?

He's accepted a job as EU Commissioner for Information and is busy self loathing.

I'm more worried about Bangkok Red....he might have been arrested for sedition, drowned in a tsunami, or bitten by a poisonous snake.

oh yeah.he aint been around for a while has he

What about Highland Red or was it Robin.....he was a regular on here!

Last active on 7th November.....hmm

He's been updating his status on facebook, so is alive.

Well, we softened them up for Saints, winning 0-4 at the moment. winning 0-5 at the moment.

Make that 6....it was generally agreed Oldham were there for the taking on Saturday.

Poor old Ben Amos, Sir Alex has come to watch him and he's let in a boatful.

Stafngrímr Oakenhorse  :girlgiggle:

And we didn't even look like troubling them!

I went on Saturday and bar one little moment of quality play I though we were dire. According to my mate who's an Oldham fan, Southampton last night were the best team he's seen at Boundary Park since Wigan were there in 2003. If you look at their squad there's al lot of quality there, Championship experience and future England internationals and they should get promoted this season.












Still can't beat us though  :smugfu:

Well that sums us up.....Oldham were piss poor and beat us without trying, get dicked by Saints 6 zip and are 4 points ahead of us with a game in hand....

We sign Ritchie and a loan player who is injured.....

Its woeful.....

Hi,I'm Hundi Strongjaw

Nor could the Wigan side mentioned at the CG.....
