was absolutely awful tonight.

Did fuck all.

Views?

Bring on the prophet!!!!

I think he picked up a knock which made him look even worse .. stayed on too long

I was most suprised to see Arrieta start on the bench.

None of our attacking players, bar roberts, did fuck all tonight. To be fair though, they were playing against a defence from the premiership last season. If we're that poor going forward saturday, then i'll be worried

He was shite but will be valuable to the squad this year

Me too. Sturrock just looked weak. I wasn't overly impressed with Peacock tonight either. Although he made one hell of an amazing slide to keep in the ball.

Blair Sturrock... hmmmm. He was terrible.

Totally agree. Was shocking tonight.

Blair Sturrock shouldn't be in our starting 11.  He seems to get to many favours from Mr Paul.

Strikers were poor tonight. Peacock's ouch was bad and Blair didn't make any 'clever' runs that we so often hear about.

Peacock doesnt look like a striker anymore, couldnt seem to make the ball stick 2night, Sturrock - fuck me, was fucking shite, sorry but he shouldnt be in our team. Everytime the ball went to him i had no confidence in him doing anything let alone touch the ball

Sturrock was absolutely awful, I was relieved when he finally came off, Sturruck seniors substitutions at 1-0 were baffling as well

Yeah taking Roberts off was strange decision indeed. I thought he was one of the better, going forward tonight. Then again it's a cup game I guess.

dog shit which is about as good as adams

u should of seen the look on roberts wifes face when he was taken off. classic

can only think he was being rested. otherwise he was looking good going forward, notice he ran on at the end to get Powell's shirt! soapy tit wank

Blair was utter crap and should start on the bench Saturday.

Total shite, did nothing all night and cant believe he stayed on so long.

Drop him for the next game....please!

he was utter dogshite but i couldn't believe that people around me were booing him and cheered when he was subbed. it's the first home match of the season, is this how we support stfc?

i nearly walked out as it made me so furious.

no doubt he was poor tonight and he's not a great player by any stretch of the imagination, but he's a useful squad player. unfortunately, arrieta looked even worse.

Arrieta didnt have a chance, cant judge him on that

Arrieta looked more alert imo. I wouldn't say he was better or worse as he hardly had much of a game.

I still reckon Arrieta has the best touch of all our fit strikers

Someone said Roberts did "fuck all" last night?  I must have been watching a different match his set piece delivery was very good, and he looked a genuine threat playing against Chris Powell.


Blair didn't play well but like sonic says to boo someone and cheer when they're subbed isn't right.

Dont get the booing either as basically it was a league 2 standard striker against a premier centreback, most strikers in this league would struggle, ok maybe not quite as badly, but we wont be playing that quality week in week out, but agree bench saturday

i didn't boo but i told his dad to ground the little cunt

Both Sturrock and Peacock were terrible! Neither are target men, so don't put the ball up in the air to them.

I'm surprised its taken this long for PS to realise that Peacock is never going to be a prolific goalscorer.

Blair may be able to get a couple this season, but I can't see him lasting too long.

in all fairness it did not take him long. he got rid at wednesday and told straight away when he got here

Peacock didnt look match fit to me, Sturrock said he's missed some of pre season. Blair was fucking dire.

I booed Blair because he was not at the races at the end of last season in League 2, did nothing pre-season and did nothing on Saturday. He carried on his poor form last night.

You can't judge Arrieta on 15 minutes at the end of the match. Sturrock should play him from the start, not Blair.

Well, with the greatest of respect sir, you are a bit of twat! What fucking good do you think that will do? Make him play better??????

Twat.

any player that gives their all doesn't deserve to be booed.despite his flaws blair does try his best

I will admit to letting out a "wahey" when I saw his number go up, but was quite embarassed/annoyed when everybody round me starting cheering. No way he should be in our first XI and I hope to see Arieta starting on Saturday. He needs a proper chance and looked good at pressuring the defence atleast in the time he was on the pitch

You are a fucking cock-juggling thunder-cunt!

Think I must have left early I cant remember the Blair booing.

Now that everyone has decided to hate him I think its only right that he becomes my new favourite player 8)

Blair's not that bad a player. Like others have said, he's a very decent squad player to have.

I don't get why people booed him last night and cheered when he was subbed, what did you expect him to do against a near premiership class defence?

 I lot of our fans fail to engage their brain sadly.....you could see the confidence visibly drain away from our players as elements of the crowd got less supportive.

 This is not good so early in the season.....one of the reasons why the scum returned to non league was becasue of the moaning of their fans undermining the players.

  Hopefully it will be back to the TE on Sat, as its generally a more positive environment there.

Fwiw, I think a lot of Blairs problems last night stemmed from the fact that Peacock had a terrible game.

Playing upfront against a team that up to last season was in the Premiershit is difficult enough, playing against them when your striking partner is running around like a headless chicken is probably harder.

On another point, if the person sitting behind me in the NW, whose only contribution was to shout 'Pook you're rubbish', every time he went near the ball is on here, I'd like to tell him he's a complete tool.

And a cunt.

And a moron.

And a cunt (Again).

That was me Herthab  :mrgreen:

Thought so :D

Sturrock is good or ok off the bench he is not a striker who should play for 90 mins. Booing him is a bit over the top, He has been thrown in the deep end by Daddy.

he's not wrong though is he?

The number of bad games massivly out weight the good games

New season, new start.

He wasn't particularly bad when he came on last night was he?

I thought so, all he seemed to go was miss control the ball last night....

He was good on Saturday, but that doesnt suddenly make him a fantastic player.

He needs to be consistent, he went from playing well to being pretty poor in the space of a few days.

I'd don't think he was outstanding last night and yeah he did give the ball away a few times, but he also won it a few times as well.

What gets me though is that Zaboub was shite (As he was Saturday) yet doesn't seem to get any grief from the fans.

Pook comes on and even before he's touched the ball some arseholes are on his case.

Maybe if he was french and wore gloves in the summer he wouldn't get so much stick................

I let out a 'wahey' when he was finally subbed. I'll do the same on Saturday should the same thing happen after another appalling performance.

well that makes perfect sense then, doesn't it?

i was relieved when sturrock was subbed but i didn't cheer at the top of my voice or boo at him like some pantomime villain. fucking idiot.

herthab - you must have been sat near me as well, i had some bloke shouting abuse at pook everytime the ball went near him.

sometimes i despair at being a swindon fan.

turn round and give them a peice of your mind.i do, its nice watching them squirm

i was sat with my dad otherwise i probably would have done

Were you a goth/grunger/punk/social outcast, as a teenager Yeovil?

And Peacock
