Swindon Town v Franchise FC Official Matchday Thread

[pauld]

FWIW, I thought we did OK for the first hour or so, albeit we should have killed the game off in that time. But we didn't and games last for 60 mins not 90 .....

[@mwooly63]

Gave the ball away for too often esp in midfield,
Decision making is fucking awful at times no matter who the player - 3/4 times in that 2nd half Pritch was in acres of space on the wing only for the ball to fuck about sideways/back/sideways etc before finally being played out wide by which time they had numbers back.
Defensively they were shocking and the same could be said offensively too.

Town end was devoid of any atmosphere, I looked around at nil all and ppl were sat ( yes sat ) playing on their phones or betting.
 

Wolves WILL tear us a new one Tuesday as will Preston/Sheff Utd/Brentford and Rovrum.
Not looking forward to any of those games.

Was it a fitness thing? Did we look tired at the end, or just switched off?

Seemed that way to me, tired, and possibly lost focus a bit because of that. But it was more like the last 15-20 mins not just right at the end. Which is poor, really

Meh, the majority wanted a midtable/relegation free season and that is exactly what they are getting. So why all the outrage? Our manager is Mark Cooper and we are 8th in the league.

The Franchise winner was inevitable and deserved. They should have scored minutes before when Belford saved from Bowditch.

Fair play to them, they wanted to win the match and showed attacking intent which they were rewarded for.

I slated the bloke after Crawley and he was just as bad today - Smith is not a League 1 footballer going on what I have seen of him. Hilariously out of his depth. He cannot even do the basic things.

City next weekend will be interesting should it end in disaster...

The number of injuries could point to a general fitness issue as well but that should be something that can be addressed over time. As much of an issue this season has been silly bookings leading to suspensions.

Both of which can be easily corrected for next season.   Hopefully.

Predictable shyt. Only a few more home games and I'm free.
It will be a shame to see my club, a club I've supported since 1969 go down the swanny.
Not only have the new owners lost the Decanio goodwill factor, they've alienated some of the regulars.

I'm not in the best of moods about today's game, but why?

[otanswell]

So we spend £400,000 on one player

I bet we didn't,  board just came out with it to keep fans happy I suspect, I bet it was 100k tops with a sell on

I can't imagine you'll be missed by anyone

Would happily see the crowds go down if it meant we saw the back of people like you. Plus the townend would be empty every week (the elephant in the room) so we could start the new stand now.

8th place "down the swanny(sic)"? where were you when we were twice in administration?

I am sure Jed said at the time it was £100k up front with £100k after set games/goals/promotion/sell on % etc rising to a possible £400k.

Some people 

If you want your team to win, week in week out, then go and support Man U...... Oh, wait.

Pah, another one of those bandwagon-jumping glory boys...
