Good reply DV... I would say that my comments reference defending are somewhat two dimensional, I appreciate what you're saying but I don't know - I guess I'm hoping it was simply a bad day for us
Time will tell on that one.
You and me both. Probably a few others on here to!
I'm disappointed to see that there's been no apology from the club to the hundreds who got up early and travelled, as that has to be one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a Swindon side.
I made another thread about this. Other teams have done it so it would be nice if it could be done for us. Ironically the most obvious example is when we beat Gillingham 5-0 under Sir Sturrock.
what like fitton and wilson?
They've certainly been on something if they are expecting play offs. If that is what Fitton is judging Wilson on - then Wilson wont last the season
I can definitely see us improving but I think Ifil needs to come back into the team, we need his pace. Sod the mistakes he makes Morrison and Greer together is the same as Viveash and Reeves and resulted in the same kind of outcome. It's going to be a big August for Fitton, Wilson and STFC as a whole.
Was is also rather annoying is that it could be said we're lacking a left back and some strikers so why bloody get rid of Jack Smith, Jamie Vincent, Jake Hyde, Ben Joyce, Blair Sturrock, Hamdi Razak and Barry Corr.
Its worrying that we've released players and not bought in any form of replacement.
I also find it odd that already we're after the return of Ifil. Towards the back end of last season he was being talked about like he was the worst defender we ever had.
The back line does need pace to cover any mistakes and in pre-season the coverer with pace was Amankwaah who for what ever reason didnt play in defence today.
If Ifil has to be in for his pace then its got to be a back 3 and wing backs.
Also, only one game so its just a throw away comment but could this show that Jamie Vincent really was the leader of the backline?
