Swindon Town v Darlington matchday thread

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

Just watched the 'highlights'.

Won't someone please get that kid out of goal! If you don't take a strong position to begin with and you move like Lee Majors rather than the $6 million dollar man (ie In slow motion and slower that a Pitman amble) then you will never save anything! You won't be able to recover situations when defenders make mistakes in front of you and you won't be able to stop your team from losing.

He's not the only one that isn't good enough, but its he's just not ready.

Makes me nervous every time the ball is near him and I’m on the sofa.
Only knows what the players in front could be thinking. Just doesn’t command his box effectively.
Mind you most of the mistakes are coming from the pair of central defenders we are putting on every week. It’s every game and until we stop this we are in serious trouble.

How long till Conroy is back?

The biggest crime is that Town failed to replace McCormick as a 'been there, done that' back up.

Fyer has experience but hasn't played a proper game since August 2018 due to the leg break and himself shouldn't be rushed either.

I appreciate that people will point to contractual stipulations of the deal but if a player is deemed to be constantly underperforming then of course they can be dropped. We've had far better loan players over the years start from the bench.

[Frigby Daser]

Kovar was a Wellens pick (albeit approved by Mildenhall). He would have seen him play countless times with his son. He’s a rotten Griemink/Glass quality player. He simply doesn’t move or react like a goalkeeper. We must send him back, take the hit, and get a 6/10 every week keeper available on a free. Unless we do that, we effectively undermine the confidence the rest of the team has every time the opposition are within 20 yards of the goal.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Loan Will Henry from Bath City! why o why didn't we keep him for a little longer

[Abrahammer]

Probably because he isn’t good enough for this level

But could have been better than we have

[Abrahammer]

There’s lots who could be better than we have, he’s already proved not to be

Was he given a chance then as he must have had slot of potential when called up to the England under 20's squad. Maybe out goalkeeping coach isn't upto it

[Abrahammer]

Ok let’s sign him in a double deal alongside Tom Smith to help out in the middle of the park.

Wonder if Miles Storey is available as well, complete the set

May have one yesterday if they had played. At least Snuth & Storey were fit enough to run

[DiV]

The fact that it would cost the club a decent chunk of money to NOT play an underperforming, not up to it, costly keeper is an absolute travesty & just shows what a fucking shambles the lower leagues have become where it’s dictated to us who plays.

I’d bin Kovar off and send any bill from Manchester United on to Mr Richard Wellens.


Couldn’t we just invent an injury or something? Claim he had COVID? Or that he has to self isolate?

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Do a deal with Salford they can have him for league 2 and they send someone not quite as shit

[adje]

Think he's been "self isolating" for weeks DV
