One bonus, if we don't get promoted then the Pox could well be relegated only 4 points and 5 positions outside the relegation zone.
lets hope they don't come down, that would be like having a 6 point deduction  Sad Wink

There is one common denominator in our decline- Power!

He is on course to take us out of the football league. Simply not good enough

Did you message this in to BBC Wiltshire? the chances of 2 people repeating the same thing and being fucking muppets I find slim.

terrible terrible terrible. not sure if Taylor or just players but a huge lack of structure to the team. absolutely no width. the worst that I have seen this season. get hussey, McDermott, mullin and woolery in the 11. play a 442 with width and start making the most of the personel that we do have and try and get some goals.

We only need 1 win to be back in the playoff pack. the reaction is quite ott but that is what happens in the short aftermath of a really shit performance. no point writing off the whole season yet

I know we've been hit by injuries lately, but these 'turds' have been good enough to get us there or thereabouts.

It's relative, our turds play against other turds mostly. A turd polisher doesn't have to get them gleaming, he just has to get them shiner than the other turds.

I think though we are down to the turdiest of turds.

or, if you prefer, the injuries and suspension really have knackered us. i know you acknowledged them - but I'm struggling to see how we get through this period..

still, it's a funny old game

The main problem was our midfield in my opinion.  Dunne was terrible and Elsnick made many unusual mistakes. Anderson was poor and kept losing the ball with bad decisions. I didn't think the defence was that bad, especially Mayonnaise, but nearly every time their clearances were snapped up by our opponents in midfield.

Well, that was bad.
The sarcastic cheering of the Norris sub was pathetic, he was actually one of the better ones today.
Now, where is that Chinese menu?

I'm not impressed with Meyanese myself.

I think Mayo was easily our best defender today IMO even though he was at fault for one of the goals, he made a few great saving tackles/blocks.

I still think Norris looks better defensively than as an attacker.

Whoever becomes manager, I hope they can get a tune out of Woolery. Beginning to fear we’ve bought a lemon.

Personally, I’ve now written off this season. Next year, with Preston and Conroy as CBs should give us a much needed improvement defensively - as that’s where all our problems stem from. And if Vigs cannot be reintegrated we need a reliable keeper, too.

Preston isn't under contract for next season.  Conroy, is inexperienced and coming back from long term injury, anything can happen with him.  I assume Lancashire will be under contract.... he's probably good enough for Div 4.

I’m assuming we’ll extend his contract. Won’t get much better at this level.

Well I think (and hope) that’s as bad as it gets.  When we needed a decent performance, we’re served up with that utter shit.  Based on the fact, Power stormed out of his seat when the third goal went in, I think it’s safe to say Taylor won’t be getting the job.  I feel really sorry for him when the whole team put in such a poor display.  Attackers and midfield non existent and the defence must be one of the worse I’ve seen in Swindon shirts.

Whatever anyone says, Flitcroft is a complete wanker.  He knew we were going nowhere with the rubbish he’d assembled, so jumped at the first opportunity to take on a team that had been built by a far better manager.  He’ll probably scrape Mansfield over the line and take all the praise.  

As you all know, I err on the side of pessimism, but up until today I genuinely thought we were still in with a shout. That feeling has now gone.  Power has made two managerial mistakes in Williams and Flitcroft.  He really needs to think carefully about his next move.
