Swindon v Southend matchday thread.

Colin Calderwood will be out of a job in the summer  

Hee hee, if you think some of MM's decisions are a little strange if Colin gets here those issues will go on and on.  Northampton and Forest fans often talk about how baffling (and negative) CC can be at times.

Surely you lot have had enough of Scotsmen by now anyway?

Nothing wrong with Scotsmen that this wouldn't sort out if they don't have it already.

Billy Connolly would be a great manager for us.

I'd like Uncle Bryn from Gavin and Stacey, he'd be a cracking manager.

I actually think there are positives to be taken from MM's first few months.  You could see against Hudders, LO and Carlisle that he likes to get the ball down and play decent football.

I disagree, we play very aimless, long balls up to a striker whose key assests are apparently finishing and guile. All we do is hoof!

[janaage]

Sorry Panda man, but you cannot say we played hoof ball in the three matches I chose there.  Okay towards the end of the LO match we did, as AM had been withdrawn, but for the majority of those three matches there was very little hoof.

That's why I think we might play better football with Blair and Cox up front, instead of a big man like BP or Corr.

[Panda Paws]

I can only judge on the games that I've seen, and I wasn't there for the performance of the season against Carlisle or at home to Huddersfield for that matter. The games I have seen under MM, we've had very little going forward, and do appear to play aimless long balls, a theory that I feel was epitomised today. Very rarely did I see one of the front two or a central midfielder drop off and receive the ball into feet from the full back.

[janaage]

It's like when we play a big guy up front the players hoof it up to them, when we play shorter front men, we play the ball through the middle.  Same used to happen when Fallon was here, not the striker's fault, but the other players seem intent on taking the easy option.

I liked it best today when we were playing the long ball up to 5ft 9 Simon Cox to flick on for Barry 'I cant and wont run but Im actually 6ft 4' Corr

Genius!

Maybe McNamee has two brothers who are strikers.

which reminds me, need a McNamee song and I think the classic 'team of McNamees' work

Number 1 is McNamee
Number 2 is McNamee
Number 3 is McNamee
Number 4 is McNamee
Number 5 is McNamee
Number 6 is McNamee
Number 7 is McNamee
Number 8 is McNamee
Number 9 is McNamee
Number 10 is McNamee
Number 11 is McNamee
and Number 12 is McNamee

We all dream of a team of McNamees
a team of McNamees
a team of McNamees

[Bogus Dave]

I still think singing the celery song with mcnamee would be better

[janaage]
