The comical aspect to some of our recent defending

aaah I see. I thought you were referring to the match as a whole.

An away view

Gutted to have lost the game in the manner we did although we were outplayed for the majority of the game.
Just wished we'd have retained the ball better and had a go at Swindon more as their defence looked very nervous. Mind you, to attack team you have to get the ball first and we seemed to be chasing shadows for large parts of the game.

Jo Kuffour ? Why does Ainsworth still persist with him ? he was a passenger the entire game and contributed virtually nothing.

Charles Dunne. I really don't know what's going on with this boy but ever since his move to Blackpool he's not been anywhere near the player we know he can be. His ball distribution of late is laughable and he looks like he'll get a nose bleed each time he crosses the half way line. His part in the lead up to the free kick for their winning goal was a joke. Firstly, from a decent position well inside the Swindon half he plays the most inept ball you will ever see and concedes possession. In his defence he does track back very quickly but instead of trying to stay on his feet, he dives in and concedes the free kick that leads to their winner.
If he carries on with his form of late then Blackpool can't have him soon enough!

Had to laugh at how gutted their no. 8 looked having given 1-0 gestures to the crowd part way through the 2nd half.

Not sure if been quoted further back, but Gareth Ainsworth was hopping around the touchline like a mad man most of the game! I did enjoy his clap to the away fans just before the build up for the winning goal happened...certainly wiped the smile off his face!

Yawn !!

Their no. 19 kept on hoofing the ball from the back. That's all he did all night. You can't score if you cannot keep the ball.

I do actually think that is a fair summary of the game.

Thats an awfully cynical view, Mr. Ainsworth. Almost an odd way to promote a performance in which your team were extremely fortunate and largely outplayed for most, if not all, of the game. You should just be happy you weren't spanked.

[jayohaitchenn]

Yeah we only had 16 shots to their 5 and 64% possession. Shit.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

As in control of the match we may have been last night, I didn't think we were going to make the breakthrough such was our struggle to create anything in the final third.

What has happened to that backline. I have been cautious to slate Ward this season as he was probably my favourite player from the last campaign but very recently he has been all over the place. Can only be the change in formation, 'his legs have gone' doesn't cut it for me, his legs had gone last season and he was superb.

How many actual outfield coaches do we have? Just Cooper and Williams? Maybe a defensive coach might be needed rather than a new player.

Cooper was a defender wasnt he? His dad was one of the best defenders the country has produced!

[Ardiles]

Just looked him up.  So Coops' Dad was player manager for both Bristol Rovers and Bristol City?  Well I never knew that.

[london_red]

Wasn't there something at the start of the season about Ward helping out with the coaching?
