Swindon v Shrewsbury pre match chat and matchday thread

[Jimmy HaveHave]

33% possession at home.  Not good.

Fans used to moan about Williams 65-70% possession! I know which I preferred watching😀

[swindonmaniac]

32.9 you exaggerating B'Stsrd

47% pass accuracy 🤣

Sorry.

[FormerlyPlymRed]

47% passing accuracy.

We are managing to make a very poor, relegation threatened team look competent.

I have absolutely no idea what they work on at the training ground because no pattern exists whatsoever.  We are simply hitting the ball long and trying to remember where to position ourselves when they get it back.  It's not even looking like we've worked on how to make a long ball game effective.

Payne must have the highest % of shots and crosses blocked in the league.

Odimayo has been OK, as has Thompson.  Masterson was 99% OK but was partly at fault for standing off on the goal.  Hunt has been ruined, not sure what has happened to him but he's half the player he was last season.

Hope - completely useless in that position, utter waste of what he is good at.

Palmer is a waste of space in a central midfield that is doing nothing on the ball and just watching the game fly past them.

Lyden has looked busy in defence

Pitman continues to play in quick sand, wasted in the 10 role as he can't get on the ball.  The lack of mobility gives the midfield nothing to play to either.  He's done alright in the air.

Garrick - harsh to judge a player in his first appearance in this team, especially as in the wrong position.  Certainly not added much of benefit in that role, but he may look a very different player in a different team.

Overall, we've been awful.  Much like midweek.  We are relying entirely on luck to avoid conceding and luck that players manage to figure out a way to goal by themselves.

There's so much wrong it's hard to work out where to start, but good effort to those trying.

47% pass accuracy 🤣

Fucking hell.

If Wellens was here now I would get that team playing it's simply down to the manager

[Peter Venkman]

Fucking hell.

I am surprised that 47% of our passes have hit their target TBH.

[Panda Paws]

Absolutely fucking horrendous.

[Peter Venkman]

Odimayo wins ball, short pass to Curran...hooooooffffffff........straight to their defender and we lose possession yet again.

[Gnasher]

That’s not fair on The Dog and Duck. What have they done to you to be compared to this lot?

 

[Red Frog]

Utter gash Palmer.

[JBZ]

palmer has been very poor

[Nemo]

Palmer tries hard, but that really does appear to be the extent of his merits.

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

Can’t we just pass the ball !!!
