Title: I’ve absolutely no idea what Team will turn up! ‘Wovers’ v the mighty STFC
Post by: bathford on Sunday, March 21, 2021, 17:07:29
Were do I start after Saturday? The same attitude, style and commitment as at Fleetwood and we have a chance.  They’re in turmoil with Barton apparently telling 7 of his first team that they’re not in his future plans.

Win this and we’ll have a little bit of air between us and the others.

If it’s back to the ‘same old’ we’re screwed.

0-2 in front of 209 viewers.

Horrible little shit is Barton. A win would be incredible. They appear like us with no consistency. Completely dismantled Pompey then start losing again.
Don’t need anyone reminding us probably the biggest game of the season so far after the surprise win yesterday.

Where does the 'Wovers' thing come from?  Don't think I've ever heard it said that way.  'Gas' or 'Gasheads' I understand.

The other thing I don't quite understand is how Bristol City get the 'Slave Traders' tag while Bristol Rovers seem to swerve it.  They're both Bristol.  Why does the red half carry this and not the blue & white?

You make some salient points, can't say I have ever heard anyone call the gas (Gash) Wovers ever before.

And yes not sure why one half is slave traders and the other half had a far more racist name previously of the Black Arabs, conveniently forgotten.

As for the game Gash 3-0 Swindon.

As for the game. I reckon one thing in our favour is that we’re away. I think most, if not all, of our better performances have been away - whether we avoided defeat or not.

It’s the abysmal home performances that have got people down.

The only thing I can think of is Ashton Gate is close to the river Avon/docks so the slaves would have been shipped close by to where the football ground is now sited.

Ashton Gate is in Bristol. However, I think you'll find that Bristol Rovers are actually in Gloucestershire.  I believe the 'border' is the A420.  South Glos Council have their Offices on the north side of the A420.

Shit Heads and Gas Heads.
That is what I was always raised on.

The Shit Heads call the Gas - Gash.
The Gas Heads call the others - Shit Heads.

Used to enjoy the games down there early 80’s.
All of us were struggling back then - now look at the Shit Heads rolling in money.

Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Sunday, March 21, 2021, 21:05:10
I think "Wovers" is a play on Roy Hodgson. He was once manager of Bristol City and of course in recent years I think R(W)overs beat another Hodgson side in the Cup. Can't think who, probably Fulham or Liverpool.

So it possibly comes from that or that they are over westward or west over and it's a shortened form of W'over. Tedious links, I'm sure many will agree...


Anyway 0 - 1 (O.G)

And from the Gas(h) forum, a few views about them and tomorrows match.

Quote
Without wanting to sound defeatist, I am feeling very defeatist about our situation right now! I would be very surprised if we stay up. I have no confidence that we'll beat Swindon, and then we have Sunderland and Ipswich. Only a win against Swindon will do, and even then I don't think we'll stay up. But I don't think we'll even beat Swindon.

For this season of 'everything that can go wrong will go wrong,' it feels pretty certain that we won't beat Swindon and the result will depend on someone who wouldn't have been playing had the originally scheduled match gone ahead.

I’m not sure these players are up for it to be honest. I am fully expecting us to huff and puff for 90mins while Swindon nick a goal from a set piece or a straight ball through the middle.
We looked completely devoid of any ideas on Saturday and a better team would have killed us off in the first 30mins.

Sadly have to agree with much of the sentiments expressed here. Resigning myself to L2 next season. As already said, even a win tomorrow probably won't do us much good. Only hope is 4 other teams do even worse. And that doesn't seem likely.

Feeling depressed with Rovers as of late. Can’t even bring myself to watch the game if I’m honest.
As with others, I fully expect a huff and puff with no real attacking threat and Swindon to win 1-0 through shocking, basic defending.

As much as it’s all doom and gloom after the last two defeats, a win at Swindon would be a massive step towards survival. It would be one out of the four wins needed, a crucial 3 points over a team that is currently neck and neck with us, it would instill confidence in the players that they can stay up.

Swindon won’t be any better than Pompey, Accrington or Shrewsbury whom we have convincingly beat at the mem in recent weeks, in fact they’ll be worse if results are anything to go by.

Swindon do have injury problems and had 5 out in their last game like us. I just feel they will sneak it 1_0 or draw.

Although Swindon is important game its not the be all and end all, if we win ,fine, but it does not guarantee our survival, conversely defeat does not confirm relegation , a win though would lift spirits and could start us off on a little points gathering run.

I watched the Swindon highlights and it looked very poor, players given loads of space and the game played at a walking pace. I would say Swindon have problems defending against physical attackers and are not convincing in the air.

JB will be England manager after Rovers

We are the worst team in the league. Our form is terrible and we have lost our two best players from recent weeks.
The writing is on the wall. Unfortunately, it’s the same writing that was on the wall last September. You cannot build a decent side without a decent goalscorer. You cannot gain points if you can’t defend properly.

I watch a lot of highlights from league one as well as all of our own games and i'd say based on what ive seen we are one of the worst 4 teams and deserve to be relegated.

I’m confident of a win but I know our CHs have a mistake in them and with Pitman Swindon have the perfect player to profit.

If we don’t beat Swindon we might as well throw the towel in.

And on interesting quote, not sure what highlights he was watching but it obviously wasn't from our game.

Quote
They were very lucky on Saturday, the ball just seemed to fall for them. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't win against them? Our home form is reasonable of late.

In the main their fans sound an awful lot like our fans.

Lets see if we can get a back to back win for the first time this season on the back of what is easily the best over all team performance under Sheridan, better than Ipswich and Lincoln for me. Coincidentally all away performances.

Not about this game in particular, but wouldn’t it be refreshing when an opposition manager’s preview said something along the lines of ‘They’re poor - and that’s being kind - the sort of team we should smash without too much effort. I’m not impressed with them at all.’

Instead of the back-slapping platitudes we always get.

Not sure if posted yet but a savage assessment from Joey Barton regarding one of their regular centre halves:


JB said today "Don’t forget I’ve known Max from when I was at QPR. He was training with us when he was 20 and the observations of him then haven’t changed much to the observations of the player I’ve found now.

"That is worrying in that period of time, seven, eight or nine years, if you’re still making the same mistakes.

"I think you can only help yourself. He can only help himself first and foremost before you can help any of your teammates."
"Captain when we came in, and I just don’t understand that," Barton said.

"How can that be the leader, the person you set out as the head of your organisation, as the head of your troops?

"He’s got a lot of work to do, the boy. We’ve got to build him back up and it’s not straightforward, and, as I say, I can only help people who want to help themselves.

"We’ve got no time for passengers, and as cruel as that may seem, unfortunately this is not a charity. This is an elite performing environment that is not elite performing at this moment in time and it’s my job to get it there, because I’m a custodian of the building.

That's some interesting man management. I have no idea who Max is and whether or not the criticism is justified, but hanging him out to dry in public like this sure as shit isn't going to help "build him back up". And it would be interesting to wonder what the effect on the rest of the team is - if Max is a bit of a waster that no-one likes, this might actually be quite an effective galvanising message for the rest of the squad. If he's a respected leader among the team, and the fact he was captain suggests that might be the case, possibly less so. Never quite sure what managers hope to achieve by publicly calling players out like this, always looks like a desperate "don't blame me" gambit from a failing leader.

That said if we play as we did away at Lincoln, Ipswich and as we did at Fleetwood we will easily beat them.

In the home game Rovers were easily the poorest opponents we have played this season, they were dire, even Northampton and Wigan were better than them, they lived up to their nickname of the gash.

Look at these lowlights from Saturday, shocking defending from crosses and acres of space at the back and a goalkeeper (standing in for suspended ex Town target Day) who looks like he can't be bothered.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMEP6Y2U1Qw

Last week vs Charlton was a similar story. They got a very lucky penalty and a massive deflection on a 30 yarder to score their 2 goals. But their defence splits like Moses parting the Red Sea and the goalkeeper is miles from all the goals and gets sent off, we dodged a bullet there with Day.

Go with the same plan as Saturday.
Pitch looks pretty good, pack the team with the ball players and just go out and play.

Can't imagine that Rovers will allow as much space as Fleetwood did.
By all means go direct when necessary but not as the lazy option.
It will be a lottery if the game becomes very scrappy with no control from either side.
Just hope that bit of luck needed will go our way.

Seems now that both Broadbean and Captain Convoy are definitely no longer flavour of the month...surely one of them makes the bench, ahead of the *obvious?
This kind of stuff doesn't sit right with me but of course if the starting XI gets results it's more difficult to complain.

If the unfortunate pasta man, Taglydentalle can get on the bench when injured from time to time...

Also looking at those subs, we could probably say four definitely won't be utilised (Matthews (he'd leave him out), Curran*(well...), Omotoye (pointless being here), Smith (not wanted anywhere seemingly, feel for the lad as he has something to offer in a ball playing side).

Which means he's only likely to bring on Grounds, Garrick, Hope all at once in the last 5mins...essentially naming only 3 realistically usable subs, El Dino really takes "old skewl" to the limit ey?!

Somehow, Town will win 0 - 2 (77, 81 Omotoye)  :pint: :pint:

Someone has to be brave and go for it though. However, a point favours Town more than Rovers at this moment in time. Will be opportunity missed though if Town don't decide to roll the proverbial six sided cube  :eek:

We looked defensively sound that half compared to earlier. Grant and Iandolo looking a decent pairing. Maybe Camp (with his series 1 Frazier haircut) is providing some confidence. Very winnable game in my opinion. Payne is busy and Palmer not too bad

The Gash are poor and there for the taking but we need to get shots in to test the dodgy looking keeper.

Get Garrick on and let him open his legs, get the ball on the deck and outpass them as we did for a fair bit of the first half, they can't cope with us running at them down both wings.

I will be happy with a draw but we could esily beat them they look very poor.

Great win. As predicted. Town seem to have a defence of sorts. Still two poor teams really. Town are just marginally better than them.

Nice to put daylight between the dotted line to the tune of 3pts. Well ahead of schedule for safety in terms of points since v Northampton.

Fuck me sideways - what a turnaround we're seeing. Trying not to get ahead of myself but 2 clean sheets and 2 wins on the bounce after 5 straight losses? Can't expect anything better than that!

The difference in the defence since Camp arrived, Conroy and Broadbent got shipped out. Is Lee Camp the difference or the fact 2 centre backs couldn't defend for toffee?

After tonight's performance, no one can say Sheridan has lost the dressing room. The lads have worked their socks off tonight!

Massive, and Iandolo is a revelation - should be MOTM tonight, but Payne probably robbed him with that strike.

 I thought Iandolo did ok - some great last ditch stuff and distribution is obviously a strong point, but on at least two occasions he showed his (completely understandable) lack of experience at CB, nodding one down straight into the path of the striker inside the box - a full backs header! If Ayungta had scored in the 2nd half, which he should have, we’d be criticising the header...

All in all though, a vital 3 points with some real positives I thought - Camp and Anthony Grant (who I’m sure will see his career out as a centre back) especially.

Odimayo or Ian Dolo Mom for me. J Grant should be nowhere near the first team. Put him in the bomb squad. I am in a minority re Payne I suspect; he frustrates the hell out of me. Runs around aimlessly half the time. But.... great desire and great finish tonight. Fair play

Odimayo was pretty shit tonight tbh. Bar the dribble out of defence and the tackle at the end. He was being talked through the game by both Camp and Grant.

But it is about the 1,947th iteration of a Town defence.

Sheridan still needs to go mate. Not progressive enough. Maybe he's worthy of the "firefighter" role but he's no long term appointment or shouldn't be.

in all these years i still cant upload an image but i did a freeze frame on the rovers "goal" which was a definite. went through a rovers player who was onside. a few metres away from a rovers player who was offside but no where near the shot path. purely saying this for the rovers fans who will be stalking the site with tears down their faces.

fantastic win. under pressure just after half time but the last half hour we were extremely comfortable. 2 clean sheets are huge.

the back 3 were superb. Iandolo is playing really well- i was thinking mom for me then he gave me a scare with a terrible header. By know means safe but we really really had to win this to give us a chance. keep beating our 6 pointer rivals and we will get there!

one more trivial thing- why does thompson do long throws which never end up going long  :hmmm:

Totally agree with you, Sheridan is not for the long term but at least there is a glimmer of hope that we can't stay up to start again over the summer! Just hope Sheridan doesn't overperform to be rewarded with a new year or two contract!

Sheridan:
- Clean sheet most pleasing
- Good team performance
- Plenty of good football when we played
- Bit of good luck with disallowed goal
- Camp didnt have too much to do
- Sheridan would have been disappointed if he'd been Rovers manager about the disallowed goal
- Good solid performance
- Clean sheets are about the players knowing what to do, what your team mates are good at
- A Grant looks totally different at the back
- You dont have to score 2-3 if you dont concede goals
- Stay in the game and score the first goal and you have a chance of winning
- Know t he importance of the next few games
- First 15 mins of 2nd half was disappointing. We didnt work hard to get the ball in deeper areas and create
- Last 25 mins we were better.
(Note: Wouldn't answer leading question from Hawes asking if things changed when Garrick came on)
- Quality strike from Payne
- Palmer and Payne were excellent
- When you win games you can be more positive. There were some good performances to keep the ball out the back of the net
- Wish we had a game at the weekend. We've played a lot of games, but it gives an opportunity to train and rest
- Told players to be chuffed with themselves and be ready for the next 9 games and keep winning and climb the table
- They are good players. They should know what they are doing. Last 2 games they have shown that
- Systems are systems. We have not conceded and scored first.
- Couple times we looked edgy, but people were sprinting after we scored the goal
- Lyden has hamstring problem.
- Missilou will be back for Blackpool game
- Need to keep feet on the ground. Blackpool will be tough. Burton is important as they are in and around us.
- Need to stay focussed
- After Gillingham: We were conceding goals like we had for the rest of the season. Poor, poor , avoidable goals. A common thing through the season. Last 2 games we have been stronger and more competitive keeping ball out of back of the net
- We had luck tonight which we haven't much this year

Post by: Nomoreheroes on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, 21:25:52
Absolutely awful game! Terrible spectacle of a first half. Second started badly until Garrick came on and we had a few mins of dominance before scoring.

Camp 7
Superb handling from crosses. Looked very sound and secure. Beaten by one shot, which went right in the corner. Down too slow? Not sure, but he made a couple of crucial saves after. Gave everyone confidence.

Thompson 7
Poor first half with abysmal crossing but grew into the game in the second. Defended well and all of a sudden, offered a threat after we scored.

Iandolo 7
Great saving header capped a very good first half (apart from one hesitation that gave their striker a clear chance that he fluffed). Generally solid in the second half but a couple of dodgy moments.

A Grant 7
Couple of strange decisions and got caught out a couple of times. But, led the back line well. On another day he would have been punished.

Odimayo 7
A bit scrappy at times, but mostly very good. Absolutely crucial slide tackle in the area in the last 5 mins will be what I remember.

Caddis 7
Tried really hard and linked with Odimayo well in the first half. More defensive in the second. Beaten at the far post and lucky we didn’t concede from one cross.

Palmer 6
Quietly broke up play. Didn’t offer so much attacking.

Payne 8
Ran his socks off and defended brilliantly. We missed his creative spark, until he surged onto the free kick from Twine and blasted the ball left footed into a massive empty net.

Twine 5
Poor game today. Didn’t really get going in the first half. Was trying to walk the ball along the edge of the area to get a free kick or two in the second. Free kicks weren’t what we have seen

Pitman 6
Played battering ram again with no support. Had one half chance but nothing else.

J Grant 4
Poor first half. Did little in the second.

Sub:
Garrick 7
What a difference on the right. Unlucky not to score when cut inside, shot and defender headed it over. Caused lots of problems when he came on. Enabled us to actually attack!

It was a typical “spoiling” Sheridan performance and it worked out again tonight.
Maybe some luck against an opposition that couldn’t create anything but all about the 3 points.
Garrick changed it for us and we at last looked a threat when he came on.

A Grant:
- Dont want to get of myself
- Everyone is working hard and there is competition in the team
- Been asked to play CB. I could play anywhere. Even said I'd play in goal. Its life as a footballer
- We have lots of centre halves, but I'm not going to say no!
- What does he bring to the team? 'It just me!'
- Playing with 2 injuries at the beginning of the season. Still playing through one of them
- Severe left ankle injury. Right ankle was less severe.
- Rest allowed it to recover
- We were away from home. Good team spirit. Players out of the team are wishing the others well
- Need to keep grinding out wins
- We need to work hard on the training field.
- Odimayo: 'He's a clown!' :-) He's a good young pro and a good athlete. If he keeps learning at this speed he will do well
- Whats happened in the last 2 games?: Miracles do happen! We have been conceding too many goals. This has been down to all 11 players, not just the defence.
- Today we got a bit of luck
- If you don't ask for it you don't get! Grant put his hand up to claim the offsite.
- We have been unlucky though out the season, about time we got some
- Criticised VAR
- We have the players to stay up
- We need to keep the faith

Well fuck me. Two clean sheets with a frankly bizarre looking combination of defenders, yet somehow it seems to work.

Followed the game on Skybet as i couldn't watch. Was convinced we'd blown it as in the 92nd minute the betting was suspended while Rovers were on a dangerous attack. Looked at my phone again and it said we had safe possesion. Relief.

Long way to go still...just need to be above that dotted line when it's all done.

Plenty of time to worry about Sheridan's future when the season ends. Just keep us away from League 2. Its shite.

Apart from taking some decent crosses didn’t have a lot to do.
I thought he could have got down quicker with the offside goal but it’s easy to look from a screen as he may have been unsighted.
His organisation is definitely something that has been missing.
Blackpool he will be a busy lad and hoping he keeps yet another clean sheet.

Hawes:
- Good to hear from Grant. A man in exile!
- Good to hear about the injury woes and that was why he was struggling
- Phlegmatic in his approach.
- There is very little to phase him at this stage of his career
- He mentioned everyone who wasnt playing tonight at least twice. He realises they might be needed in the next few games
- Performance lacked the flowing passing until Garrick came on.
- It seems that there is still the ability and want to play the ball out from the back every now and again
- Please to hear that the ball took a deflection as at first Hawes was worried that Camp was a bit slow going down. The deflection explains it.

Ackkkshurrrrllyyy, he's ripped it off the Wovers FT graphic so it is them that have got it wrong. Look above Foreshaws "Clown Show" and you can see the "FT from the Mem..." tweet.

Christ that’s massive. Horrible to watch, but massive. Not getting carried away yet, but winning against the teams that matter is a huge boost.

not much else to say, but if you told me this random selection of “defenders” and an ageing Lee camp would be getting us back to back clean sheets, I’d be asking what you were smoking.

Pleased for Payne bagging the match winner after his effort lately.

Well it was a lot more Crewe than Lincoln, but this stage of the season is no time to be a connoisseur. Hated the game, loved the result. 3 more shithousing wins and maybe a couple of draws and we can draw a discreet veil over this absolute shitshow of a season and pretend it never happened.

I see Barton is throwing everyone under the bus after last night - players, officials, previous staff. He really is a Grade A prick.

Great pitch, btw. Puts our cabbage patch to shame after years of it being pristine.

We do seem better set up to play away than home, but we really need to start picking up a few odd points at the CG.

9 games to go and if we get the same points haul as the previous 9 - 13 - we’ll be safe.

the only thing I can think of is that one of the strikers got a slight touch and was standing offside.

Speaking after the game, Barton confirmed that after talking to the officials they revealed Brandon Hanlan's offside movement to the left of Westbrooke's strike was deemed to have been in Swindon keeper Lee Camp's eye-line, therefore denying him a clear sight of the goal.

Look at the strikers head though, actually looks like he is offside. Great result that was and much needed

Few more ground out awful wins like this and maybe we can put this fucking skip fire on a grotty industrial estate of a season behind us and move on with a decent manager and stability of ownership.

Who would have thunk that Iandolo could do a job at CB, I always assumed he was a short arse, but looking at Wiki it suggests he is 6'1

I suspect he is close to being our longest serving present player, and in contract until end next season?

After the revolving door of loanees we have had, we only had 1 in the starting 11 last night.

I had Iandolo down as more of a winger than a left-back because he wasn't good enough defensively, and now he's doing OK as a CB.

Who’d have ever thought the way to stop our defence leaking goals was to literally drop all of our centre backs at the same time...
And play a left winger and midfielder there alongside a rookie defender who arrived as a right back and who had never started a game in the league before this season.

Fair play to Ian Dolo I never for 1 minute thought he would be good enough in any position TBH, its taken him 6 years to find his niche.

Iandolo is not a left winger. He says himself he's a LB. Five managers in a row have played him LB. He's a LB.

Or maybe a LCB.

But he's NOT A WINGER.

He is a winger even if he doesn't think he is, he struggled to defend until 2 games ago, he looked lost at LB and LWB he can dribble and cross a ball, winger. IMO.

So the player himself and 5 experienced professional managers think he's a LB but they're all wrong, because you think he can "dribble".

Iandolo and others can say that till they're blue in the face but it won't convince me.

Just about every game I've seen him play at LB he's been poor defensively but decent when attacking. Definitely more wingerish than LBish to me. But now he seems more CBish than wingerish.

TBF, attacking as a full back is not the same as attacking as a winger. You’re moving from a completely different part of the pitch, against a less defensive opposition player and not getting to the final third as often

A good attacking full back does not a left winger make

Again this for me. He has never previously shown any heading ability or tackling ability yet has shown an abundance of that in the last 2 games. He is a paradox.

Has anyone considered that Ian Dolo would make a decent Right Winger?

I'm jesting of course. His aerial ability has surprised me a bit, he has made some excellent interventions over the last 2 games (one ridiculously bad defensive header aside) but has also been solid enough wherever has has been played. It is helpful to have a 'utility' player that can be asked to play in unfamiliar positions when needed. Not quite Niclas Alexandersson from the early Champ Manager series, but adept in a few positions.

I have never rated him at LB and no I have never agreed he is a a LB where did you get that from?

I don't think he is a LB or LWB, never have never will.

Just because a player thinks his best position is a certain position does not make him good in that position, Kovar thinks his best position is in goal, it blatantly isn't, Jordan Stevens thinks his best position is centre midfield, it blatantly isn't....etc etc.

On evidence with my own eyes I do not think he is a good LB, I have however seen with my own eyes that he makes a decent LCB which I give him huge credit for.

Whatever the ins and outs, there is something very Swindon about the solution to our defensive woes possibly being sacking off all our centre halves and putting a midfielder and a LB/LWB/LW there!

You might think he has attributes that are more suited to him being a LM. Fine. But by definition, he is a LB.

God knows how many managers thought Pook was a L1 standard central midfielder - he wasn’t in anyway shape of form.

My opinion Iandolo is suited to LWB and wasn’t entirely sure what he thought his position was.
He made it quite clear in his post match interview on Saturday he considers himself a left back.

According to who? Since when was your opinion objective? I could have sworn he was a CB for the last 2 games. A pretty good one at that. We should be sure to tell El Shez not to play him there because he's a LB (by definition)

And this is a huge waste of time.

Maybe, but I find the reaction at having an opinion challenged to be a tad interesting.

*Edit. Just to clarify, I meant to say he's more of a LWB than a LB. But the point remains.

I just think he's one of those players like Milner in that he's comfortable wherever you put him. I quite liked him at left back and if I had to play him I'd personally put him there. He was playing really well there last season when he had a run in the team.

Back to the game....

As always the views of the losing oppositions fans on their forum.

Quote
Long balls all evening. Just been hit and hope. We are clueless

I think this more or less confirms our fate

The ref is an absolute joke, he’s buying everything Swindon do. This is honestly the most depressing game I have ever watched. The most gutless side I’ve ever seen. There is just no way back from this.

A lively substitute, if only we had one of those!

I didn't think it could get worse than being a division below Yeovil.
Likely we'll be a league below Forest Green next year.
Let that sink in.

The club deserves to be relegated ... it’s dire from top to bottom. In a massive two must win games we have been pretty woeful .. we could well go down as the bottom side and probably deserve it.

Genuine question to those who were adamant that JB and only JB would keep us up after his appointment.
Can I have some of what you were smoking please because I am in dire need for some optimism right now?

The most disgusting and shameful team of gutless, useless, inept wasters I've had the misfortune of watching. A total embarrassment.

Can't score.... Apparently Swindon the team with the worst away record....

The difference there was they wanted it more and won more 50/50s the only goal of the game being case point.

First time I've watched the Gas since we beat Pompey. Tonight, outplayed,outclassed,outrun, out of league one. No excuses Barton. You have done nothing.

That is the biggest load of b---ks. We are definitely down now if we can't beat a useless Swindon side.

Ref should be banned from reffing another game

Dreadful, never looked liked scoring....again!
We are going down that's for sure.

We will be relegated as we can't score goals and can't beat extremely poor teams like Swindon who have managed somehow to beat us twice. Yes the ref has cost us tonight as that Was never offside but in general are play is not convincing it looks good until we get into the final third and then it goes nowhere.

Irrespective of the disallowed goal we have been beaten twice by Swindon and they have just won two away games on the trot without conceding.
They are clearly better than us and although I have been hoping we can avoid going down, I have now accepted we are down and out!

As I said last week, I will be genuinely surprised if we don't finish bottom.

Referee disallowed a perfectly good goal. There is a big bias against us.

There is no bias, that's just something people say when clutching at straws for why we keep losing. We keep losing because we are sh**e. No other reason.

The ifollow commentary with Rodman felt a bit like watching a gratuitous sex scene with your gran in the room. Everyone can see someone's going down but no one wants to mention it.

Can't complain about the result Swindon always looked more dangerous and to be fair a point was no use to us tonight..

The goal was offside because Ayunga was in an offside position and the shot touched him as it went in

Ayunga was onside, Hanlan was the player offside.

We had control of that game in midfield in the first half but we lacked a cutting edge.

As for the two strikers even if they are still trying now and Swindon have gone home we won't score!

Amazing to think Swindon lost three of their better players in Kieron Freeman, Diallang Jaiyesimi and Matt Smith during January and still managed to beat us.

The officials certainly seemed to favour Swindon on both days. As well as disallowing a good goal, the ref topped it off, by only adding on 3 minutes at the end. They took about that long, to decide to disallow the goal. Plus Swindon were time wasting. Probably wouldn’t have scored anyway. But not sure how he decided to only add on 3 minutes. Maybe Swindon said they would struggle to get home, if the game went on any longer

Noticed that muppet Swindon manager John Sheridan speaking to the local press he said if they had scored that goal he would expect it to be disallowed what a load of old cobblers

The Gas heads went down and the Swindon had a huge psychological lift. We were awful for the remainder of the game and there should be no excuses but the fact remains that the disallowed goal changed the course of the game

Even Swindon, one of the worst teams I've seen in a while, are capable of beating us without even looking like they tried that hard to do it.

How such a poor side has beaten us twice shows how poor we are.

Swindon 4/10. Only 4 but far better than us.

Swindon 3/10 poor team, we were poorer.

Swindon 4.5/10 better than us but going down with us.

On the topic of converted CBs, I remember a certain Alan McCormack having to play in defence due to injuries. He turned out to be a revelation and stayed there for the rest of the season.

If my memory serves me right, PDC was doing 'OK' up until then but not great.

And he ended up POTY that season too, for a player only 5'7" he was excellent alongside Flint.

Andy Rowland converted from CF to a good CB under Trollope, ironically replaced up front by Jimmy Quinn who started his career as a CB.

Its not like managers haven't struggled to find his "best" position

https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/15788050.david-flitcroft-praises-versatility-of-swindon-
towns-ellis-iandolo/

He had been good as CB in the last 2 games, and whether or not that is his long term future, may it continue to work until the end of the season.

As always the reaction sways from shit to brilliant never anywhere in between. Lets see when he gets to play against a wider variety of CF. He's had a non existent one and a non league lump so far and coped ok. Maybe playing CH helps him concentrate, improves his position sense, he's happier only having one job to do.  I always thought he had some aerial ability and a good left foot.

Fingers crossed he's a natural at CH, it'll be an interesting watch.

Logic - in his own words, he is a LB. 5 managers in a row have seen him every day and say he is a LB. Most of his recent appearances have been as a LB (of sorts). He is therefore, by definition, a LB.

You might think he has attributes that are more suited to him being a LM. Fine. But by definition, he is a LB.

And this is a huge waste of time.

Quite honestly, I don’t care if he’s left wing, right wing, centralist or Green Party.

He can be Spanish, Polish, Finnish or Moorish if he is so inclined.

As long as he’s doing the job he’s paid to do, with some success. I don’t care what he is.

End of!

Odimayo is definitely one bright spark in a relatively frustrating season.
Not the finished article but has all the attributes to becoming a very decent lower league footballer and who knows if he continues to improve where his level could be.
Really hope we don’t sell him as would like to see him develop with us.

Just to muddy the Iandalo waters further, I don't think he is suited to the CH role - he's been given a pretty easy ride thus far and had a couple of let offs already, but he has played with more comfort in the middle.  His competence in the past two games maybe hints more at being able to develop into a defensive central midfielder.  I agree that it seems to have given him more focus and less worry about positioning by being shoved into the middle.  He has a cracking left foot and has never been shy of the defensive side of the game - it's just he was pretty poor at being in the right place and following players out wide.

I didn't get to see the 2nd half as was having the Covid jab, but the first half suggested we were competently able to handle the opposition, similar to Fleetwood.  It didn't look as good on the eye, but I do think that the addition of Grant in the middle of defence has been the turning point - it may not always be the case, but he brings more control and possession to the team.  With his injury and lack of mobility, playing there is probably better than in a two man midfield as well.  Our biggest issue with playing the long ball so aimlessly has been the way it gives the opposition so much possession to attack us with.  We are by no means 1990 Swindon, but a little bit of control and possession has a big impact on how exposed your defence becomes.  Layer in the other teams have been shit and bingo.

Maybe Sheridactyl’s thinking re hoofball is that if we aren’t in possession of the ball we can’t make a complete fuck up and lose a goal - the opposition will have to create something instead of getting a gift from us.

Be interesting to see how this new found ‘shape/team’ fares against Blackpool and Posh in the next few games.

Squabble aside - i do find it amusing that early on in the season we were all bemused by the amount of CB's on the books, and now (early days) we seemed to have stumbled on (or found by genius) a promising formation and partnership that doesn't include any of them (or 1 of them if you were classing Odimayo as one of our raft of CB's at the time)

What’s the state of play with Baudry?

I notice he’s under contract for next season..

He is a very good signing, can play right back, centre back, has pace, can tackle and head the ball, he has all the physical attributes.

If he carries on improving and gets a good run in the team I think he could be at least as good as Sean Morrison, hes already faster and a better passer.

I hope we tie him down to a 3 year contract asap.

I agree that Iandolo plays well in a 3 if he has a player like Grant next to him, take Grant away from that 3 and I think both Iandolo and Odimayo struggle more.  I think we know that Conroy is possibly the only other player we have that is capable of doing what Grant is doing, but is Conroy as mobile as Grant at the moment?  I don't thnik so.

Conroy needs to get sorted now and have a few months to fully recover - bit like Grant’s longish lay off. When fit, play him as a Defensive Midfielder.

I mentioned this a while back and a few pages back. I don't think it was met with any agreement (shock). Always thought he'd develop into a DCM or LCM. As he always looked to come in field when played higher up on the left. I also think Conroy would make a decent DCM too.

If he helps get Town above the dotted line for the rest of the season at LCB/CB then that'll do but I don't want to rely on him as a CB for next season. I'd like to see him played in front and to the left of Grant during next preseason and early cup match(es). Just to see how he gets on. He has a decent calculated pass on him too so could be a great linking pin to someone like Twine. Oh and bring Conroy back into CB, he needs to develop there b ut let him focus on the role of CB and leave the captaincy to someone else.

Oh and DV Canio, it's Kameron Fourthwater who is our third best player - obviously  ;)

Last night was a poor game to watch, but an enjoyable result.
Just want to add my thoughts on the new look defence - Iandolo, Grant and Odimayo have done well in the last two games - the only concern I have is that neither Fleetwood nor Bristol hoofed long balls at two big men in the style of (eg) Gillingham or some other teams in this league.
There are tougher tests to come - in the next two, Blackpool are in good form, and we know Yates is a good centre forward, and Burton are a side with a lot of height.

However, I’d stick with them as the alternatives have been poor over a long period this season.

With games coming thick and fast this year, we will no doubt switch back to how we were after Gillingham - thinking we are doomed to go down, and probably back to how we are feeling now.
I think we will get enough points to stay up, but it will no doubt be a bumpy ride / tough to watch in the last 9 games.
COYR.

There's still 9/10/11 games to go JBZ and a lot can still happen. Blackpool have bumbled around mid table most of this season. They may have got into the PO spots last night but it's just as Nuns Chuff-ish around that area. Massively so. Donny in 5th are separated by just 7pts to Fleetwood in 15th. Nearly half the league still have a realistic chance to get into the POs if they put a semi decent run together.

I'm sure Blackpool will beat Town. It’s a coupon banker you'd imagine but it could end up being a matter of just 3 or 4pts that is the difference between them (or 10 others) having what looks like a decent season or a very underachieving one. After all they have spent quite heavily. Some might say they should be higher than they currently are.

It'll all come out in the wash(bag).
