No win in 7, loads of injuries not feeling that confident.

1-1, a goal from Prutton and a hangover tomorrow morning.

I'm hoping to be there shortly after 6pm.  But does depend on what happens at work this afternoon.  I may be late, or not make it at all.

Will try though.  And if I do make it - afraid I can't promise this time to face the back of the stand.  I have only tested this theory twice, both times when penalties were being taken in play off games.  Not sure it would work tonight.

I have a feeling tonight may be a defining match, Orient are on a good run and we are on a bad run, if we beat them it may just spur us on and instill a little bit of confidence back, lose and I feel we may lose badly and come tomorrow all hell will break loose

2-2, Flint and Benyon with outs. Revell and Dawson with theirs, with Revell scoring a late equaliser and giving it large to the away fans who have been giving him shit all game.

Or we'll just get score a couple, but concede a couple more

I'm fairly sure the same has been said about nearly every match recently.

Charlton away should have been our season changing win, but we bottled it straight after.

I think that we're well past the 'gaining confidence' and 'putting together a run' stage. Every point needs to be scrapped out on the day now and we fucking need to start scrapping out more than we have been doing.

Really hard to call this one.............. I'm afraid to say I can see a 1-2 Leyton Orient win. Orient to dominate and Revell to get two. Aden Flint with a towering header in the 80th, us to pile on some late pressure and hit the woodwork or have one disallowed and the deflated sinking feeling to kick in. Here's my good old pessimism kicking back in. Having said all that, if we dick all over 'em I'll be the happiest pessimistic bastard in the world!

Post by: STFC4LIFE on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 16:30:42
I'd like to see Obika start, because lets be honest, he will be better that Dossevi whether he has trained or not.
Is Lucas available? Smith hasn't done alot wrong, but I seem to not worry as much with Lucas in goal.
My team for tonight would be......

...........................Lucas
Amankwaah..Cuthbert..Frampton..Sheehan
McGovern....Ferry....Douglas....Ritchie
..................Benyon..Obika

For no other reason other than it is as close as we can get to the team that served us so well last season, class is permanent.

I'd be no more surprised with a 3-0 win than I would a 3-0 defeat because I think we're well capable of both!!

I'll go for a season turning 3-2 win with Dougie scoring the winner and then us going unbeaten till May.  We'll narrowly miss out on the play-offs and Dossevi and Pericard will share the Player of the Season award following their goal-a-game ratio for the remainder of the season.

Either that or we'll lose comfortably and all hell will break loose on here. :headhurts:

I would imagine Lucas is still injured. I wouldn't expect him to walk straight back into the team.

Be great if Obika could start. Not that I know that much about him. I want him to be big, strong and be able to hold the ball up. Can he be like that please?

Thanks

I'd go with this although Smith to stay in goal. Lucas has made more mistakes this season than Smith (I believe - and I doubt very much anyone will agree with) and Smith has done nothing to warrant being dropped.

Tonight's game is a gambling man's nightmare.  As Sir Winston said, it could be 3-0 either way.  We really need to start getting some wins together.  I wonder if being out the relegation zone mainly due to playing more games is preventing the squad from accepting the reality that we're, frankly, a bit fucked.  I'm predicting 2-0 Swindon, with Obika and Benyon grabbing a goal apiece, but then if you've read any of my other posts, you'll realise I'm dellusional.

But then I didn't understand the Charlton line-up either and that worked out ok. Although that had Austin up front rather than Dossevi which I suspect may be a crucial difference

TOWN (4-4-2): Smith, Amankwaah, Flint, Frampton, Jean-Francois, Caddis, Douglas, Timlin, Rose, Ritchie, Dossevi

Looks like we're playing for a 0-0 draw then?  What injury has Benyon got?

I'm going to pretend we're not even playing tonight and keep away from the radio, sky and on here until after the game has finished.  I've lost the will.

Lucas, Sheehan, Cuthbert, McGovern, Ferry, Prutton, Obika.

Why oh why is that our bench. Get them on the fucking field! Play the strongest XI, stick with them for a game or two and let them grow. How the fuck can Flint (or Frampton for that matter) be a better option than Cuthbert and for the love of god, if Lucas is fit he should be playing.

We're in a battle, we need every point. Just play the strongest, solid, experienced 11 that has worked previously.

Post by: knifey spoony on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 19:40:15
Got to question Wilson on this line up. OK, we don't know what's going on in training, but seriously, what has Michael Timlin shown in the last few weeks to justify keeping Ferry out of the side?

Wilson really needs to sort the Ferry situation out, and make sure the same doesn't start with Cuthbert & McGovern. Have all three really gone from player of the year contenders to benchwarmers? They need a better manager.

Well not that i ever want us to lose, but if it meant Wilson being out of a job tomorrow, i'd probably take the 1-0 loss now.


Sorry mate but even under the dross served up by Malpas i could never wish upon a Swindon defeat. We could still turn this around, as unlikely as it seems.

Any ideas for other items?


"Smith spoons/slices clearance" - check tonight already.



"what the fuck his he doing?"

"For fucks sake - even I could have got that"

"Why the fuck can't Dossevi stay on side"

"Why the fuck can't Dossevi jump for headers?"


Of this would be the case if I were co commentator...

I haven't considered that Wilson should maybe be sacked, but when you get into runs like this, you get back to basics, you start from the back, stop conceding goals. If you don't concede, you won't lose.

I haven't considered that Wilson should maybe be sacked, but when you get into runs like this, you get back to basics, you start from the back, stop conceding goals. If you don't concede, you won't lose.

It jsut doesn't seem to be improving. How long can we have a shit defence?

We had 2 consecutive 0-0 draws at home. Sadly it seems the whole team is shit, not just the defence.

Cuthbert dropped for a non-league rookie smacks of desperation. Not playing Ferry for apparently no reason smacks of pig stubborness. I bet there is a queue of people at London Road who wouldn't mind giving the manager a smack tonight.

Very aptly, Danny Wilson was announced as manager on the morning of a game at Orient. He may well get then dreaded call shortly after a trip to Brisbane Road.

Not sure I've said this yet either, but it's time for the strategy to be binned. One thing the board will know is that even the best laid plans are subject to change if they don't go right.

What's the betting on a few Wilson Out chants tonight then??

The problem is the board are as much to blame as Danny for this season.  It's their fault Greer was sold and replacements arrived months late.    

Replacing Danny with Gary Johnson is a sideways step, but bizzare team selections, consecutive draws at home and away defeats tell us his time is up now.  Unless something dramatic happens we are going down.

Good luck to Wilson's replacement keeping us up with the heap of shit we have playing in red this season. The 'inspired' January signings certainly won't help either. I know it is considered wrong to level any blame at Fitton, but the pair of them (him and Wilson) have fucked up massively since May, and have only served to take us down to div 4 once again.

its not the boards fault at all, the money has always been available to danny wilson and if it wernt fo AF and co we wouldnt have a club

DW has stated many times that he will wait as long as it takes to bring in the right players at the right price, which in some ways has worked but
unforunately DW has no tactical or motivational skills whatsoever.

Im all for boards who give managers a chance to prove themselves and not get rid of them as soon as things start turning bad but Last season was a total fluke and his time is surely up.

So, half time stats are 8 attempts (7 on target) for Orient to 10 attempts (8 on target) for Town.

From that we can deduce that either our finishing is crap of they have a decent keeper.

More than likely a combination of the two.

So, half time stats are 8 attempts (7 on target) for Orient to 10 attempts (8 on target) for Town.

From that we can deduce that either our finishing is crap of they have a decent keeper.

More than likely a combination of the two.

Oh well, let's hope the Pox don't get promoted.
Or maybe that we can't defend and we can't score?

I suggest you do what the brave souls in the Orient away end are doing and lighten up  ;)

I am extremely calm. To be honest for a while now I don't really care that we are pants, sad I know but after last season's highs, this season's is frankly laughable, and that is what I am doing at the moment, laughing about it!

I didn't actually know we were playing tonight until I checked the Townend today. I used to know our fixtures almost months in advance, now I have almost lost interest.

A fair point and it echoes many other comments on here.

However, I've said it before and I'll say it again - As Town supporters I feel that we've been through far, far worse on and off the field.

That doesn't mean I'm excusing this worryingly diabolical season... For me, it just doesn't feel as bad as the Malpas or the King/Onuora seasons... and that's just the recent history.

Post game interview from Danny Wilson...

"It's frustrating, the players just aren't learning lessons. We make basic mistakes and we switch off at inopportune moments. We have to keep plugging away, at some point the weather will turn better and we'll get a referee that isn't against us. We've been unlucky in all 30 games this season - there is no disputing that.

Vincent Pericard can be a massive player for us at some point. Thomas Dossevi works his tail off. David Prutton really means it coz he looks like jesus.

Yes it was controversial of me to leave almost all of our quality players on the bench tonight and pick about nineteen fullbacks but IM TRYING TO GET THIS FUCKING SIDE RELEGATED as hard as I can ok?"

So, just so we are clear: right winger now playing left back, 'left back' playing left wing, central midfielder playing right wing, left winger playing centre mid. 2nd best central midfielder on the bench, best right winger on the bench, best centre back on the bench.

How many corners have we had in the game so far? Every stat apart from goals scored would make it look like we were competing in this game. When your luck's out etc.

Well in fairness, he was absolutely right. League One is easier this season. It's just that we're significantly shitter at a rate that far outstrips the easier-ness

You are probably correct it is easier was he right with this one http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/8218477.Fitton_backs_Pericard_to_step_up/  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

His teamsheets would be interesting.  I think I heard him mention Kevin Awankah, Michael Caddis, Andy Flint and Thomas Dovessi tonight.  Wilson must have been busier than I thought in the emergency loan window!!

Dossevi isn't and never has been good enough. Ritchie stood out tonight. We didn't get the ball in the box. We need to go back to basics. Amankwaah should get it forward more often. The midfield need to be getting forward and they're not. We have no cutting edge and if we don't find it we may go down.

He did highlight a positive... there's still a long way to go.

He may be right but I sense some personal grandstanding going on - which is easy when you have a public platform but no responsibility.  I have to admit I didn't see Alan Mac play for Swindon, to me he's a Pompey cunt so I accept others will have a different view of the fellah.

Danny Wilson's Wikia  :girlgiggle:

Danny's last game for Swindon came at 22:25 on the 8th February after stealing Andrew Fittons last Bourbon Cream at Full Time to dunk into his coffee. Earlier Mr Fitton had frowned on Danny's team selection after picking his team with the Ip Dip Dog Shit tactic when he should clearly have gone with Eeni Meani Miney Mo tactic 1 hour before kick off at Leyton Orient.

Wilson...

First goal: poor poor poor defending, Smith should have dealt with it
Second goal: should have been a free-kick to us but we should have dealt with it
Third goal: worst defending of the night
Second half: the game was already put to bed
Don't talk to me about the referee
We didn't get together or talk to each other in key areas
Substitutions: made changes in 46th minute so Orient couldn't see it coming and adjust
If we got a goal it would have opened it up but we didn't finish things off
It's very easy to see what we're missing. Being able to rectify it is bringing people in.
We can't keep hold of the ball up front and that's the problem. We need strikers in. Obika needs somebody beside him.
We will turn it around. We need to show character and take chances then we'll see a different team.

Just spoke to my brother who's been to the game and he did back Mex's earlier point (about 25 pages back) that we were actually playing well and didn't deserve to be 3-0 down at half time.  However, he said the substitutions directly after half time were a joke and clearly riled the whole team.  From that moment on not one player in a Swindon shirt paid any attention to Wilson and Shirtliff's instructions.  They don't want to play for him.

There was some uncertainty in the wording when he signed too, "We think and we hope that he'll be able to step up.".

Probably just reading too much into it though.

Yep I can see that would hack them off.  Either Wilson is incompetant or he is trying to prove a point - either way it's not looking good.  The last 3 games have thrown up alot of chances and hardly any finishes - I think we're going to find losing Charlie Austin will cost us a good deal more than 2 million quid.  I know it's all history but he's the only player who has had the class and the work ethic to justify being a League 1 player in our team.  The rest of them are way short of the standard set last year.  If anyone can tell me why I would be grateful to know

Delighted to see the coked up twat being spoken to the rozzers, less delighted to see him not being expelled from the ground. Here's hoping he fell in front of a train. Even minus the racist abuse he was an endlessly negative, tedious twat.

I felt so sorry for Wilson in that interview. He sounds like a broken man - a bit like Andy King did during his last few matches when he knew that anything he said would just be laughed at.

It wasn't pleasant tonight to hear a previously respected professional guy with his standing and experience in the football industry, get ripped to shreds by a provincial radio hack and seemingly have very little, if anything to say to defend himself.

I just hope that Andrew Fitton has the balls to put the poor bloke out of his misery sooner rather than later.

I'm grateful to Wilson for the better times he's brought us, but, for whatever reason we're now going backwards very rapidly and he seems unable to do anything about it.

This has to stop now, before its too late.

I didn't hear it, couldn't bear to listen, but by all accounts he hasn't done himself any favours by repeating the same old shit and not taking any responsibility himself.

First time in over 250+ away games i've left early, but I could see that the best we could hope for was 0-3 10 mins into the 2nd half. Didn't play badly, but fuck me were we powderpuff, If i was an orient defender i would have wet myself laughing 10 mins in. Richie and ljf did ok, the rest fucking hopeless. I'm a bit tired and emotional! But if anyone wants a free train ticket to Soton PM me, no way i'm going to spunk another 100 quid for the day watching us get humiliated as we surely will going by that tonight.

Didn't play badly, but fuck me were we powderpuff, If i was an orient defender i would have wet myself laughing 10 mins in. Richie and ljf did ok, the rest fucking hopeless. I'm a bit tired and emotional! But if anyone wants a free train ticket to Soton PM me, no way i'm going to spunk another 100 quid for the day watching us get humiliated as we surely will going by that tonight.
Fair play to you and others who went :(

The words used by Sky earlier were 'Swindon have dropped down below the line into the relegation places and just look at all those games in hand the teams around have them.  Danny Wilson's side are in real trouble, they seem to be going backwards'

Sums it up perfectly really.

Remember last season how we crept up into the playoffs and then automatic contention relatively 'unnoticed'. Well this season it's at the other end of the table. The media are only just starting to realise we could actually go down.

Interesting how you realised after about 5 mins into the second half.  My brother was at the game and said exactly the same.  He felt that the way the subs were done directly after the break completely killed it for the players?

Fuck me 54 pages already, not going to read through it all but can imagine the gist of it.

Weird game, thought we played ok 1st half, loads of play down their end yet we were 3-0 down? Surely not. Think I've worked out the problem though. We've got a few good players, who can play some nice football at times but just struggle in a couple of areas. Namely, scoring goals and stopping the other team scoring.

Incredibly fucked off, and apologies if its been mentioned above but when you're 3 goals down and playing a winger up front and a full back on the wing how the fuck can you take off your one striker? Bizarre.

On a happier note, the crowd were great for the most part, with some amusing tongue in cheek chanting that led to me spending the journey home singing "bobby howe's sexy football".

We'll need to get another striker on loan just to cover for benyon then, and I was thinking we needed another striker on top of benyon and obika anyway just to offer more of a threat than what pericard and dossevi offer.

he also had the biggest budget in this league with city yet still failed to get them promoted 2 times at the time of asking.
and he couldnt do anything at the Franchise with no budget either, just relegation, but thats looking on the downside  :hmmm:
think we should have sacked him after the rovers defeat, Rovers only league win since oct 16th was against us and they have been shipping goals like theres no tomorrow..

the adver have a piece titled "wilson laments lack of firepower - hours after sealing obika deal"
i get the impression he's not to popular with any of the local media at the moment

excerpts:
“He needs somebody outside of him. We’ve said that before – he needs a strength with him,” he said.

“He’s got great pace, he’ll go in behind you but he needs people around him and he needs people who can give people a bit of a hit and we haven’t got that at the moment.”

But bringing those types of front men to the County Ground has proved difficult in the past, and Wilson admitted the club are a long way from acquiring the talent they want as they stare nervously at the relegation fight that has swamped them in recent weeks.

“We’re not close at all with that type of player,” said the Robins boss.

“We’re desperate to bring somebody in but the availability is what’s always the problem.



so in a nutshell we've signed someone fast knowing we've got no one for him to play off (which of course we're only a few wins away from)

Post by: london_red on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 08:13:01
Hmmm the morning after. With a sore head will try and put together some more coherent thoughts on the game last night.

It was a game of two halves, but not in the normal sense.

First half we honestly played really well, Ritchie the standout but the whole side looked good in posession and most of the game was being played in their half. Still, for all the neat play and nice passes we didn't create a lot of really clear cut chances. When we got the ball in to Ritchie's feet he looked electric, he was turning his man every time and getting a shot or a cross in, and was unlucky to hit the post. Rose did a decent enough job in midfield and put a few decent crosses in, the problem was we only had Dossevi and Ritchie in the box and their defence dealt with the majority of them easily enough.

Great free kick from Rose and a worldy save from their keeper fair play.

As for the goals we conceded... the first looked a nothing free kick to me, Kev and their striker jumped for the ball together, guess he pushed him. Got to question Smith's positioning from the free kick itself though, struck firmly enough but not a rocket, and low down to the far corner feel like he should have got there. For the second he was a little unlucky as he was at full stretch and could only palm it up in the air and Revell's popped up to knock it in. Maybe got to make sure from there and just get it behind for a corner. (Smith did redeem himself with a couple of cracking saves second half but not his best game overall) Third not much wrong, gave the Orient player a bit of space and he's hit a decent strike.

Fuck knows what the sneaky subs just after half time were all about, but it clearly didn't work. After that the game was a bit shit really, we gave up until a few brief attacks at the end and Orient were happy to sit on their lead. Caddis played well again and after being moved to the left in the second half had a couple of decent runs where he cut inside and beat his man.

First viewing of Flint he looked OK nothing more, clearly some potential there and he is massive, but some interesting distribution. Even given the ball in acres of space the ball was headed for row z. That will improve though.

Overall, a good first half performance, but yet again nothing to show for it. I said after Bournemouth if they kept playing like that the results would come, starting to doubt that now.

Always going to feel worse straight after a defeat like that but I do worry for the rest of the season now, and the fact that Cuthbert and Ferry didn't play a minute last night continues to perplex me.

Quick mention for Timlin, although he played alright he hit quite possibly the worst corner I've ever seen in the first half.

Fair play to the other fans who spent upwards of 20 quid on that, spirits were kept up throughout and a nice bit of gallows humour with some of the chants at the end.

Don't know what the answer is and whether getting rid of Wilson now will make any difference, but something needs to improve and quick. Hopefully Benyon, Obika and Misun will turn out to be the answer, but who knows.

Pissed off and hungover this morning, but hey-ho bring on Colchester I suppose.

Post by: mexico red on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 08:18:09
hmmm well......

first half we were excellent, was a cracking game, we were passing the ball beautifully. Ritchie was running the show, he had them in his pocket. He hit the post with one screamer and made the keeper save from another. Both Douglas and Dossevi had shots well saved to.A Rose freekick was brilliantly saved. LJF  stood out but we looked very good so how the fuck did we go in 3 goals down?

well there first was a dodgy decision, a very soft foul by amankwaah on the edge of the box. however the freekick should have been dealt with by smith, bad mistake i think.
the second goal looked a blatant foul to me and we were still fuming and lost concentration for the third. unprofessional.

within 10 minutes of the second half we had given up. terrible, so i fucked off. im afraid im in the wilson out camp because whatever was said at half time had a detrimental effect on the team. i feel dirty saying it but i think we only have one throw of the dice left and thats someone new. carry on as we are and we are as good as down.

Pls forgive me for not having read all the way through (although I did read some of the thread on the train home last night).  But just one point (that I made a little earlier in a London Reds e-mail)was that the feeling was last night that relegation is now more of an expectation than a fear.  You saw that in the gallows humour at the end (very vocal, very funny), you saw it in the relative lack of 'Wilson Out' chanting.  I think most of our fans are resigned to relegation now - barring something unforeseen.  Can't see a way out, and don't see replacing the manager as an immediate solution to all of our worries.

You also have to ask which manager, in his right mind, would choose to join us at the moment with a very realistic prospect of chalking a relegation up on his CV in less than 3 months from now?  If DW does leave (and after yesterday, his position is looking very shaky) we could very well end up with a caretaker until May.  (Shirtliff anyone?)

I do think that DW has lost his way.  And I do feel gutted for him.  He's a decent chap.  He took us to Wembley last year and even now I'm grateful to him for that.  But it's all gone wrong and it's clear he doesn't really understand why.  (Individually, some of our lot did well last night...Lecs and Ritchie in particular.  It's not all bad.)  For that reason alone, I can't see his tenure lasting much longer.  It's all very sad.  How did it ever come to this?

I don't like saying as even up till the away game at Bournemouth I was still confident of  staving off possible relegation but now I to think the only chance of ressurection is a manager change and a full change of backroom staff.

My main worry is that if (and it still is if) we get relegated, will Fitton, or more probably our other major backers, think "fuck this, I'm off" and cut their losses and leave us totally in the shit again?

Fitton kept harping on about his 3 year plan to get into the Championship (which evolved into a 5 year plan). I'm fairly confident that getting relegated to the basement division doesn't feature anywhere in that plan.

Nobody expected a relegation battle after the highs of last season, but it simply can't be allowed to happen. It would be such a massive backward step for this club. We've done fantastically well to attract the calibre of player such as Douglas, Cuthbert, Lucas, Prutton etc. We've no hope in hell of keeping hold of those players if we get relegated, let alone attracting decent replacements. It'll be the likes of Ricky Shakes, Gareth Whalley and Chris McPhee all over again.

Although we probably spend more than most in League One, the board have shown us that they operate a very strict budget. If we lose our best players, then we will languish in League Two. Attendances will dwindle and the progress made financially will take a severe knockback. I cannot see us simply spending our way out of that league - it's not the Fitton way.

If Fitton is serious about this club realising his personal ambition of becoming an established Championship football team then he needs to do something about this current rot, quickly.

Relegation is simply not an option.

The problem with Wilson and we have seen this throughout his tenure is he does not seem to know how to change a game when things are going wrong, he does not seem to be tactically aware, and he very rarely is prepared to just go for it when we have basically lost the game by willing the team forward to try and get a goal and cause the opposition some slight concern, ok it is a risk of concedinig another but better to have lost 4-0 and tried to get back into the game than to lose 3-0 and lay down and die

I'm not sure what JP or Ferry have done but you would have thought last night if we needed a wide player instead of playing a full back in midfield put JP in at left midfield and bring Ferry on for that extra attacking prowess but that does not happen, he brings on Prutton as always, Caddis is eculed as he plays in that position as well as full back.

Is there something in certain players contract's that says they have to play games even if they are put in any position regardless he always seems to bring on Prutton

The stats don't like we have won once in the last 12 games - this is relegation form.

Didn't we think we was too good to go down last time we was relegated, I do not beleive that we have the players for a fight, most like to play pretty football and don't know any other way of playing, when you are down there you need to fight and scrap for every point - is our squad capable of this ? can the manager continue to motivate them, can he get the tactics right, can he pick the correct players for the right positions ?

A successful season in League 2 and getting promoted straight back up is likely to mean higher gates and higher income, it definitely had a positive effect on attendances last time round. So maybe it's not all bad?

The table looks scarey frankly. Only the shit form of Plymouth and Exeter gives me any hope. Walsall, who've taken 7 points from their last 9, scoring 10 goals in the process, will piss past us soon unless there's some miraculous transformation in our performances.

Actually looking at the form table there's a chance that 4 west country clubs in Argyle, Exeter, Rovers and us could go down this season.

Bastard.

No the idea that scraping over the line in 3rd a few years back guarantees we will always come straight back up from League 2 is what makes your suggestion ludicrous

Bit crazy to start making predictions about what might happen if we end up in League 2.  The squad and management team would be unrecognisable from what it is now, nobody has a bloody clue how they would get on.

Like PaulD says, we didn't exactly set the world alight that season did we? we had 1 good manager that was replaced by another good manager, this time thats not the case.

Most, if not all, of our best players will leave and then we will be hit by the wage cap limit so will be unable to replace them with players of equal (and certainly not better) ability.

So why are you so optimistic that we would go straight back up again if we were relegated, have you seen signs that we will get a great manager in place, get some great free transfers who will play for peanuts, get the crowds flocking in again as we play silky smooth flowing attacking football?

No you didn't say it was guaranteed. But the whole "Well, it might not be so bad in L2 if we go straight back up again" is entirely predicated on that "go straight back up again" bit. Otherwise it's a fucking disaster, potentially leading to a long-term decline. So if it's not guaranteed then the whole idea that "it might work out rather well" is pretty ludicrous. Because it's more likely to be pretty horrific.

We dodged a bullet last time, and then only just. I'd rather not be back in the firing line

How much will relegation cost? Will it actually cost anything, or will we make more?

A successful season in League 2 and getting promoted straight back up is likely to mean higher gates and higher income, it definitely had a positive effect on attendances last time round. So maybe it's not all bad?

Was thinking something similar myself, I could only see the crowds dropping away in large numbers if we actually struggled in league 2. Whilst coming straight back up is far from certain, I believe we'd be challenging at the right end and as such get gates similar to what we get now. We might lose a bit in other areas (sponsorship etc) but would relegation really be a financial disaster?
That said, in a spirit of ridiculously blind optimism, we're not going to get relegated so it's all irrelevant anyway!  :D

What happened the previous time we were relegated to the bottom division?

We ended up winning promotion to the Premier League just 8 seasons later. I think most people would be happy with that. Which means it was all good the last two times we were relegated to the bottom division.

I'm convinced by the undeniable logic of jonny's arguments. We should actively aim for relegation. And the best way to achieve this (according to one of jonny's other arguments) is to keep Wilson as manager. Who'd have thought jonny would have ended up being such a firm advocate of Wilson staying on?

Which it clearly isn't (good) because I remember when we were relagated from the Championship that some thought exactly the same - regroup,  get promoted, crowds will actually rise.

Which is true, if you do actually regroup and get promoted. Which I think is what Johnny was getting at - relagation isn't always a dsaster.

But as I said (I think in the Wilson out thread) Bradford, Rovers, Oxford, etc must all have felt the same when they went down.

I know some of the comments above were tongue in cheek...but the counter-argument to the regroup theory is that a second relegation to the bottom tier within 5 years will cement the feeling in the minds of our fans and many others that STFC is a lower league club that hops periodically between the bottom two divisions.  Instead of the club that most of us want it to be - and which our support and backing suggest it should be - which is one that, from time to time should be having a shot at promotion to the second rung.

For those of us who started watching the Ardiles/Hoddle era, having us bracketed with Rochdale and Orient still grates a little.  During my first few seasons, we were competing effectively with teams like Ipswich, Sunderland and Wolves on a week to week basis.  I want to see us back there...and not in Division 4.

No I didn't. I was making the point that relegation followed by a successful promotion season wouldn't necessarily be bad and could quite easily be a good thing long term.

You on the other hand suggested that relegation was always bad, which I countered by pointing out the last two times we've been relegated to the bottom division have actually both turned out pretty well. So even if I had said it would be good I've got the facts to back that up, what have you got to back up it being a bad thing?

56 pages?!  Blimey.

Pls forgive me for not having read all the way through (although I did read some of the thread on the train home last night).  But just one point (that I made a little earlier in a London Reds e-mail)was that the feeling was last night that relegation is now more of an expectation than a fear.  You saw that in the gallows humour at the end (very vocal, very funny), you saw it in the relative lack of 'Wilson Out' chanting.  I think most of our fans are resigned to relegation now - barring something unforeseen.  Can't see a way out, and don't see replacing the manager as an immediate solution to all of our worries.

You also have to ask which manager, in his right mind, would choose to join us at the moment with a very realistic prospect of chalking a relegation up on his CV in less than 3 months from now?  If DW does leave (and after yesterday, his position is looking very shaky) we could very well end up with a caretaker until May.  (Shirtliff anyone?)

I do think that DW has lost his way.  And I do feel gutted for him.  He's a decent chap.  He took us to Wembley last year and even now I'm grateful to him for that.  But it's all gone wrong and it's clear he doesn't really understand why.  (Individually, some of our lot did well last night...Lecs and Ritchie in particular.  It's not all bad.)  For that reason alone, I can't see his tenure lasting much longer.  It's all very sad.  How did it ever come to this?

I was going to write a report but you summed it up perfectley. The humour and chants at the end was almost suggesting that we all newanother defeat and relegation is inevitable. Quite depressing really.

I couldn't get to that many games, but enjoyed Lincoln and I dare say people had fun ticking off obscure grounds they'd not been to.

But I regard escaping Division 4 as a minimum requirement any time we are in the godforsaken hell hole - and I mean the right way round, not the Oxford way.

That season was just pure hell.

We were so close to bottling it at the end.

The game against Bury away was our most important result, Jukebox at the death, that what sealed our fate that season, crucial, crucial result as Franchise were on our tail for what seemed like weeks and weeks.

When the final whistle went at the end of the Walsall game and players from each side starting hugging each other.

I turned a corner after the Orient game - until then I'd understood why we let Greer go, I understood why we let Charlie go, I understood Danny needed to be allowed to bring in players and I wasn't unhappy with the ones he'd captured. But I didn't understand what he did at Orient. I didn't understand the starting line-up, I didn't understand the substitutions and I certainly didn't understand their timing, I didn't understand why we persisted in fannying around when what was needed was a caution-to-the-wind, all-out assault on their goal. It was timid, limp and docile. We'd just accepted there was nothing we could do. And then I understood that this is Wilson's fatal flaw. He can't fight his way out of trouble. There's a reason we hardly ever win when behind: he can only do intricate passing football, he can't mix it up. He never seems to learn/compromise. And so he takes another side down.

That's an excellent summary of the current problems.You have to battle first to play your football in this league.

Unfortunately,Danny didn't learn the lessons from the games against Millwall last season and why we couldn't beat them
in 3 games,even when we took the lead in the 2 league games.

There's no point in bemoaning the lack of strikers,you adapt a system and style of play with the players that you have
available to your disposal.
