If anyone cares, we’ve got a game tomorrow. So here goes, Swindon Town v Crewe.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

the only positive is we are in level. And I've seen its play worse this season.

Crewe are a little unlucky, on another day it would be 2-0.

we've created nothing again

Really? What’s been worse than this?

[Peter Venkman]

Well that was pretty dire.

Nobody has a clue what to do and where to be.  You can almost see the cogs turning in their heads as they try to remember what they were supposed to be doing.  It's another case of a new formation and players thrown together with little thought for what to do beyond defend and hit it long.  The problem with that defend by numbers approach is nobody trusts each other because they haven't played this way enough, or with each other.  So you end up with a back three looking a mess - nobody knows whether to step-up or drop off, or what the other two were supposed to do.

JoJo looks OK.

The midfield three look terrible, to a man.  No clue how to retain possession and little better when trying to defend.  Payne is like a school kid, just runs to the ball all the time, meaning there is no structure.  Missilou has no footballing brain at all - I assume his game is to just be a nuisance and tackle people.  He certainly isn;t much kop at that and worse in posession.  Palmer may as well be on the sideline, no influence at all.  Other than a couple of times where he pressed well, he generally has an ability to be nowhere near anything of consequence in the game.

Garrick - um, is he this bad?  It's hard to judge players given the failings of the management team.

Pitman - pointless, if he has any strengths left we have no idea how to play to them.

Caddis seems to keep ending up as an advanced right winger - I doubt that was the plan.

Thompson is playing the left side in a completely different manner - it's another symptom of a rudderless team.

Overall, lucky to be level.

This, 100%

Well that was utter shite.

Wigan was definately worse, MKD, Shrewsbury, Plymouth, Accrington....

[Batch]

I'd say Shrewsbury.

I thought Wigan was ok given the circumstances

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

I’d get Odimayo on, Palmer off.

Pitman off, Broadbent up top

Garrick off, that Norwich fella on up with Broadbent

And at least try and play proper hoofball. We seem incapable of even doing that.

A bit like asking "what is the worst dog shit have you trodden in recently?"

I must be numb to it

Brett, Brett, Brett, Brett Brett, Brett, Brett, Brett Pitman, Brett Pitman, Brett Brett, Brett, Brett, Brett Pitman, Brett Pitman - pointless, if he has any strengths left we have no idea how to play to them.

Wasn’t that good 😂
Honestly can you imagine if we were at the game.
It would be meltdown in get stands.
Absolutely fucking clueless.

Crewe 70% possession and Swindon pass accuracy 50% just about sums us up.

What really annoys me is that last season this was a fixture between 2 good footballing side. This season its a fixture between a good footballing side and a pub team. And it's a pub team because of the manager who should have been fired at least a month ago.

[Flashheart]

This.

I don't understand what they're trying to do. It's hoofball - but it isn't. WTF is it?

Spot on.

[RedRag]

iFollow is flashing up 30 v 70% and one shot on target for Swindon (which I think is the Broadbent header, so not convinced on that!)

Tense.

We need VAR to decide if we had our first shot on target this year.

[Peter Venkman]

With the wind behind us hopefully we can utilise it...I would say under any normal managers tactics.

[Peter Venkman]

Sorry but Garrick is not a footballer.
