Can you thump the Swindon badge on your chest after another humiliating defeat?

Not sure about bettering Branco's badge thumping, or crowd calming, but I'm brilliant at blaming other people for my failures. It's the strongest part of my game...

League 2 is so shit. He would have been an average standard defender in that league so would have at least chucked him a contact offer on reduced terms

The sort of things that Branco struggles with won't improve in L2.

I would prefer his (probably) rather good wage to be spent by the new manager on players that suit his way of playing.
Cannot imagine he was on great money, didn't we get him from non-league (Whitehawk)?

Branco was a scapegoat for a poor midfield, if you hit a nut with a hammer 100 times it's going to crack eventually, and that's what it was like with our defenders, for the season before last and up until January, the defenders had very little protection from the midfield and were under constant pressure, Branco wasn't the most talented player but he seemed to improve once Ince came in, Conroy next to him also seemed to settle him.
He put way more effort in than players like Boo so I am a little sad to see him not offered a contract but the new manager coming in will have nearly a clean slate to work from so he can't blame the tools he was given.
