Title: 7 in a row
Post by: Kinky Tom on Saturday, October 1, 2005, 16:30:26
Southend have won, so in that time they have pulled 21 points away from us.

Is it ever going to get better?

I Hope so KT.

I was optimistic before Doncaster, and even more so today. Shows how wrong I was.

And having seen the league table it's not looking good.

But a win against Port Vale and we should close the gap a bit and it would give the players some confidence which is what they must be crying out for.

COME ON YOU REDS!!

we had this before in the 02/03 campaign and things improved. i think there will be an improvement. im certain of that but its going to have to be soon for us to have any hope of a mid table finish

Without being too depressing, anyone know what the worst losing run Swindon have ever had?

its happened a lot under King but we always came out of it playing better football than anyone else in the league.  Not a jibe at Iffy btw - just a casual observation.

Well i remember Blackpool bein at the bottom of the league at the start of last season for quite a while, but then won a few games in a row. Anyone know how many games they lost in a row?

Strangely doesnt feel as bad as the one in 03-04. Maybe its because I never gave up hope of the play offs that season, whereas this season survival now becomes number 1.

I thought MK were the better team today. Just makes you sick theyve got no history, no proper fans its a cardboard cutout of a club, but youve still got some cunt whos prepared to invest in the club.

People talk about long suffering fans. But surely to have the clubs future undermined is the hardest suffering for any fan.

Not that anyone else gives a shit of course.

Kingys past record at getting us out of ruts was appauling.

So you can shove that right up yer arse.

King's gone, stop living in the past - look forward. Even if it's terrifying.

And Jimmy Davis saved him against Wycombe in 2002.

2000-01 wasnt a bad run, it was the worst team we'd had for 20 years.

What could possibly indicate to you that King was a good man for turning around our fortunes? Was it his mention of the word 'luck' one hundred times after each defeat?

I reckon we got out of the rut in 2003/2004 pretty fucking well to be honest.

i dont remember us being in much of a rut that year ben.  do you mean 02/03?

Yeah loosing 4-1 at Wycombe in the Cup was pretty good.

2002-03 was the biggie. 10 defeats in 12 games. Then we followed that up with the game that should never be mentioned.

'IT would be dishonest to describe Town’s seventh successive defeat as anything other than a disgraceful, disheartening, bitter, wretched shambles. One fan outside the ground said it was the worst Swindon display he had seen in 40 years. He found plenty of support for that view.'

Adver post Cheltenham.

What about when we lost 5 games in a row, I think most people thought it was a rut at the time and we dropped to the bottom half of the table.

That you've forgotten about it just shows how well we got out of it.

2002/2003 we got out of that one well too to finish 10th.

Face it, he presided over moments of utter farce and disgrace at our club.

Cheltenham, Scum, Notts County FAC, Colchester home 0-3, Southend LDV.
