I will give you that one, for some reason I had it in my head that Di canio was here when we lost to Brentford in the playoffs
PDC had come and gone by Brentford. Cuthbert and Douglas were here for the Millwall Wembley season. C'mon Gareth this isn't statto sort of knowledge. Do you support Swindon?

I do remember PDC making it rather public that Douglas had a place in the squad. He (Douglas), however, bottled it. Cuthbert made what was a rather sideways move at the time as well.

I listened to Rochdale comms today and they kept commenting on how our defenders were allowing the ball to bounce before attempting to clear it.
WTF is that all about? Are they maybe terrified of committing to the ball and missing it?
It's rule one of football, never let the ball bounce in or near the box. Fuck me I only played Sunday League and that was drilled into us.

Ability is inextricably linked to heart and fitness.
Eh? How?

I think it was Douglas who made the noises. Well, the Adver definitely suggested that Douglas had been 'impressed' by the appointment of PDC. His departure was probably confirmed moments later.

The buck stops with him. Hopefully he'll show some actual bollocks and take post match interviews. Genuinely want to know what he sees and how he's going to fix it.
Agree with this. If Sherwood is as we are told picking the team, system and tactics, then he should have the balls to front up and explain when the team/system/tactics he has chosen don't work. Continuing to bottle out of doing so like he is doing makes him every bit as gutless as the players. Lead by example, Sherwood....

That's effort making up for deficiencies in ability then. Which isn't what Reg said.

Which makes me wonder why they are doing it. I don't think for one moment that they're doing it because they're told to. Maybe their confidence is so shot that they're terrified of making a mistake.

Maybe they're just a bit too slow to react?

That's what Luke said the other week, they are too scared to make a mistake so they try to take the extra touch and get caught........ it's a lack of confidence throughout the squad unfortunately.....

Its a bloody odd setup. I scoffed at people last week who asked who the manager was. Sherwood, obviously, he's in charge of everything. But he doesn't talk to the press, stays in the stands and passes who knows what to someone else to tell the players. Not saying it can't work, but its somewhat unusual to us outsiders. That + no contract. You can see why people are scratching their heads.

It's obvious to Swindon Town fans who's 'in charge'. But for outsiders, well, it's a mess regardless.
