Read it and take note Iffy


Why swap Gurney and O'Hanlon, why drop Diagagagoura and bring in Whalley, why drop Jutkiewicz and bring Cureton back in

why why why why why why why

Toumani shouldnt have been dropped!.

After today Nicholas should definitely be dropped.. :evil:

becsause we were the home team and you would hope that we would take the game to brentford,we looked like doing it for about 20 mins then it fell apart.
i would have started diagoora but you could see iffy was hoping his experienced players would do the job.bluntly nearly all the players just aint good enough

Nicholas should be told to fuck off and never come back....I'm sure certain members will blame Ifil though  :roll:

 :nod:

theyre both not good enough.shakes aswell arrrggghhhh fucking pussy

Nicholas can't play center back, Gurney can't either. Ifil should play next game.

we're already down, might as well send in the youths...

Couldnt agree more VD!, there's no point in carrying on playing players who couldnt give 2 fucks about the club, let the Youth put some passion into the side for a change.

 :nod:  :cry:

for the first time i agree with you

why he dropped Jutkiewicz I dont know...

he caused them a few problems for them, at least the town end clapped him when he came over at the end.....nice touch...the fact he came over...and the fact they clapped

only thing that makes this a little better is Pox might go down too

But we dont want Ox*ord to go down!, its the only thing to look forward to in League Two.

They know we are well and truly down now. You could just see it. No belief.

Why O why am I going to ashton gate?

Nicho had three Ifil moments :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 :nuts:

to watch us play shit, show no bottle and get relegated Sade....

Looking forward to it :|

Whats so confusing  :(

I want to go because I want to show I'm loyal, but at the same time the last thing I was is city sprinkling the soil on our coffin. Worst possible senario ever. Its almost like a nightmare.

I dont want to go cos there would be nothing worse than seeing those cunts rub it in.  :(

To watch Swindon stop Brizzle getting in the play offs.
 8) Sweet irony!!

They're going to love it. I am going to go mad if any of them start winding us up when we're walking out the ground  :D  

 :shock:  I nearly broke a seat earlier, I smacked it really hard when the ref never gave us that blatent penalty. I felt a bit embarrassed after but I was so fucking angry. Still am. But accepted it now and don't feel so bad.

we are going diown at ashton gate...no two ways about it

You've got it mate. Stop them getting in the PO's and go down with a bit of pride.

I never actually thought of that....  8)  Ok that sounds good.

A win would be bloody beautiful and would piss on there fire completely(bit like saying, we're miserable and we're going to make you bastards miserable too), I think I'd run on the pitch like that man did earlier cept I'd kiss rhys.

That was a fucking stone wall penalty today!, he's gone round the keeper and can easily knock it in, he gets fouled and the Ref bottles it as he knows he'd have to send the keeper off.

the ball was always going wide....from my angle I couldnt see if he was fouled or not...but he wouldnt have scored....

The ref was a complete and utter prick and I hate him.

surprised that toumani was dropped but i don't think the team selection was to blame today, it was entirely the players fault. particularly whalley and nicholas.

i don't want to go to city but feel i should. really cant be fucked making a day of it, id rather just get there, watch the game, see us get dicked and come home. no fucking about with minibuses going the long way round or getting dragged round bristol by avon's finest.

We will win the next two games and stay up!  8)
How gob smacked would we all be, if that happened!

how gobsmacked would you be if i told you, you were talking shite?

Leave him, he's just seeing pyramids
















(in denial :))

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Thanks that really has cheered me up.

I was only joking DV  :roll:

so was I Phillip  :roll:

One 'L' in Philip  :wink:

 :D

In reply DV .. why did he change the side?

Because hes not a good manager .. nice bloke .. crap manager

Even I am accepting we are down now. IF we beat City and Hudds I believe we will stay up. But I don't think it will happen

This "never change a winning" side bollocks is exacty that ...bollocks.

Take a look at the Prem.....see all those clubs at the top, they win week in week out..change the team almost as often.

Most successful club side this county's ever seen....Bob Paisley would drop a player from a winning side like a shot if one of his top players came back from injury. So would Clough, so does Ferguson.

Face it we're down, not because the manager's coaching isn't cutting it, but because the squad is basically a bit shit. And that happens when you cut the wage bill to the bone and have a transfer kitty of fuck all.

i think i'm the only one that finds that stupidly funny  :D

... off the multi-storey in Fleming Way. Hope he got the match ball for his hat trick today.

Clough had the same team out at Derby County week after week.  Cloughie seldom changed that team,.... Hector, O'Hare, McGovern, BasTodd, etc.  He did change his Forest Team personnel to win the European cup the first time, but the team structuredidn't change.

Liverpool and Derby had particular styles and systems.  If the changes were made, the players did the same job as the players they replaced.  The nucleus, and methodology of these sides didn't change throughout a season.  Clough played 4:4:2 without fail, home or away for league games.  Swindon Town won promotion and the League Cup, with a teriffic system ahead of it's time, it was basically 4:5:1, with Peter Noble the loan striker.  John Smith was inch perfect and let the ball do the work.  Joey Butler had the holding role, and Roger Smart just about invented "work rate".  They didn't need two strikers because they had a winger who was one of te best finishers to ever put on football boots.  They only played 4:4:2 after signing Aurthur Horsfield.  

The point is that you can change the team around, but the structure and cohesiveness need still to be maintained.  Players need to play many games with their team mates to gain understandings.  Rogers knew exactly where Noble was going to arrive for a header, I am not so sure about Horsfield, who ended up being a decent center half.


Finally, Premier League footballers are Premier League for a reason.  They are told what job to do and they do it.  So changing the personnel around might work these days for a top team because they are well coached and skilled enough to maintain the system, but there's a snowball's chance in hell that the current Swindon players can cope with formational and tactical changes that occur more often than a whore's drawers going up and down on a Saturday night.  So I suppose I am agreeing with you about the standard of the players, but you cannot expect to get results if you don't have a system that the players understand and are capable of complying with.  Not playing exactly the same starting eleven that played on Monday, and not playing the same formation was rather questionable in the circumstances.  At least they would have had an idea who was going to track back and cover a Brentford player who ran eighty yards thinking he must have been after hours on the training ground.  With 3:4:3 and a unique starting eleven, they evidentially didn't know where the f*ck their team mates were, and whose job was to do what.

Is that really you Malcolm.  Absolutely right - you could be a coach.

Very!

Iffy has to go! too much like King!
