Woohoooooooooo. Soccer, c'moonnnnn

Sean Morrison, in scenes inspired by mid 90's wwf, will tear up readings contract offer in the center circle 5 minutes before kick off, tell tales of hardship and abuse among their women and score 5 goals in a 7-1 demolition of the glovers.

Charlie Austin will sexually violate Rockin Robin, furthering internet rumours as to his private life. Prutton will set up 3 goals, score 2, save a school bus of orphans from a herd of ravenous lions and deliver twins, but will still fail to win over FLASH. Vincent pericard will ponder around like eeyore, dossevi will bounce around like roo on speed - differing ends of the spectrum but both as innefective as each other.

DV will bemoan the loss of a clean sheet and demand a replacement for nestor lorenzo (who we should never have got rid of in the first place), Leefer will appear in a headress of daisy's and announce all is well again, Fred will make a post without the use of a swear word and all will be well with the world.
















lol, jk, we'll lose 2-1 and this place will go into meltdown

I predict my absence from the forum for 1 week, should we lose.

3-1 Swindon. Our season starts here. *gulp*

very scrappy 1-1 draw.

Is Frammo injured for tomorrow following his groin strain last week. If so, we'll lose as JFL is proper shit (despite most people bloody loving him).

I want Jonny Douglas to score first and us to win 4-1

I think we'll draw and nobody will quite know what to do. A nice quiet evening on the tef.

I bet we win because I can't make this one.

3-1 to the town.

2 goals from the bricklayer and Douglas scores at last.

2-1 either way

After dominating for 89 1/2  minutes and taking a 1-0 lead the ref will award the donkey walkers* a penalty after a dive in the box following an LJF challenge. Douglas will be dismissed for arguing, Prutton dismissed for having gypo hair and Austin for lamping rumour mongers in the Town End.

Then Perricard will score the winner, the ball in for Ritchie hitting him the ex-Juventus players  head on going in while he was own tying up his shoe lace.

2-1 Town.

A superb performance to conquer all and end Yeovils unbeaten run. 3-0

1-0 defeat. More doom and gloom.

3-0, Charlie's first hat trick and all will be well with the world.

 :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak :D

Come on Town,it wont be easy......think we will shade it with Morrison grabbing the winner ;)

Any win i will be happy with...as always.

A 2-1 defeat, Wilson will get sacked and Austin will be sold on Monday :suicide: ;D :D

Think Lecs and rose are starting today with ferry dropped and McGovern back in the team.

That left hand side of defence is scary

2-2 with a crowd of just over 7k. 

I can't make it today so a dull win would be fine.

this has reminded me that i have you're ST. I almost forgot. :-)

WWWWWWWWhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt!!!

haha, that would have been pointless!

May  be wrong though mate.

I'll stick by my prediction, 3-1 to us

Very amusing start to the thread, ta Dave

i know, and i almost took up DRS offer of his ticket. haha.

Come sit with me Chubbs

your alright mate :-0

Surely wont be room.

That's enough

haha, i jest :-)

1-0 to us. Tense and horrible with a LJF inspired clean sheet.

0-1 defeat crap game crap weather crap crowd of 6,887 just fucking crap.

If Rose is a shit as he was last week at Oldham we will lose. 2-1 defeat.

meh, dunno 1-1 draw maybe

Not sure if I'm going yet but if I do go I will not be drinking any booze. Making the game much more enjoyable for those who sit near me.
I predict some loud boooooo's from the stands if we get the wrong result today.

3-1,  Two Town goals from our top-scorer to be Michael Rose, with brilliant free kicks than will make Roberto Carlos look a bit shit and then one from Vincent Pericard. Okay, that might be a bit hopeful.

Austin will handball for a penalty for the Yeovil goal.

Any win will do!

Fuck them.....get a beer inside you.

1-1..... i can't be bothered to go as a day infront of the tv watching the racing is much more appealing.

4-0, Austin 3 and Pericard 1

Must win today.

2-1 Swindon.

I may cry if he drops Ferry again, and the thought of Rose and JFL as the left side of our back four scares the shit out of me. Zero confidence, they're in good knick and know that with a win they'll drag us right into it.

A draw at best...in fact I would probably take a point right now, which in itself is unbelievably depressing.

Is Frampton missing this game? If so then 1-1. I'm shitting myself of the thought of having LJF and Cuthbert at the back. Let's hope i'm wrong.

I think we need to be more worried about scoring if Charlie doesn't, Yeovil's kept four straight clean sheets!

These next four games are vital.

Any team news yet?

No, but Radio Swindon is playing Kirsty McColl. Good stuff.

Edit, More specifically this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fwtFSEovro

One of the best songs ever. Written by Billy Bragg (which you probably know)

I do.

Team is in, FIVE changes:

Smith, Rose, Caddis, Cuthbert, Jean Francois, Ritchie, JPM, Prutton, Douglas, Austin, Dossevi

I hope their right winger isn't very good.

This is the game where JFL steps up to become our king.

subs bench?

I hope their whole team isn't very good!!

What was your first Swindon shirt people? I think I had one of those jigsaw goalie tops but I've never been a football shirt person really.

the green goalie shirt with white stripes on the shoulders

I think it was a red GWR Fm shirt from the late 80s. Pretty sure there is a picture at my grans of me wearing the full strip as a nipper.

Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Paul Caddis, Scott Cuthbert, Lecsinel Jean-Francois, Michael Rose; Matt Ritchie, Jonathan Douglas (c), David Prutton, Jon-Paul McGovern; Charlie Austin, Thomas Dossevi

Substitutes: Mark Scott (GK), Alan Sheehan, Vincent Pericard, Will Evans, Michael Timlin, Simon Ferry, Alan O'Brien

Yeovil Town: Steven Henderson; Nathan Smith, Paul Huntington (c), Ed Upson, Max Ehmer; Andrew Welsh, Luke Ayling, Paul Wotton, Luke Ayling; Dean Bowditch, Sam Williams

Substitutes: Richard Martin (GK), Nathan Jones, Oli Johnson, Alex Russell, Craig Calver, Adam Virgo, Billy Gibson

Referee: N Swarbrick

Ooooh Fitton says he's angry at Charlie for his press comments about Hull.

Oh God that does not fill we with any confidence - let's hope the outcome is the same as Charlton - because the team sheet scared me then too.

Yes I heard that - he actually used the word angry!!

Interesting to see Dossevi starting to play a bigger part....  fact is, we haven't got a partner for Austin.  The defence shouldn't be the problem, it's goal-scoring I'm more worried about.  I think we'll scrape it 2-1.

My first Swindon shirt was the gold goalie top of Bart Griemink I think....   :gay:

Oh wow. Diamanids.

fucking diamandis at it again, greek bastard

Up to his old tricks again by the sound of it!

Just when you thought it was safe....he's back......

[url width=203 height=152]http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/content/images/2006/12/20/_42372623_mike_203x152.jpg[/url]

Fitton's angry again - and I don't blame him.

What's the fuck is he so angry about?  I listened in and he was wittering on about how angry IT was, without actually mentioning IT.

Get that picture off my screen NOW!!

First Charlie and then Mike D

Fascinating interview.

It was, very enlightening in many way.

I wonder if Wilson will be just as interesting.

I wouldnt put money on Danny being even slightly interesting!

Diamond Mike trying to squeeze 300k out of the club which he has (apparently) absolutely no entitlement to. Did you miss that bit?

Probably one of the most revealing interviews with Mr Fitton concerning on and off the field issues.

Appeal Court over 300k for Diamandis next week for those who didn't hear what he had to say.

It is good to hear someone who is open and honest, unlike the previous people in charge.
I still am 100% grateful to this man - and he has my full support.
And as I type this someone slagging him off on the radio. ::)

My God the pathetic txt's are coming in already and thats before we have even kicked a ball in anger.

Agreed. Long term, I have utter 100% faith in Fitton. I'm just utterly fucked off with how things are going short term.

Ahh thank you -I tuned in after.  He kept referring to "it", "the matter" etc.  Almost like it was deliberate.  These 2 games are massive.

Argh people are stupid.  The texts people send in annoy me.  The board had no choice on selling Morrison, and obviously Wilson knew he needed to replace and Greer and likewise with Morrison, but a knee-jerk reaction and signing a squad-filler is not the answer.

Ferry should be starting and I don't give shit what xyz formation that would fuck up.

we will be 2-1 down then get a late equaliser from Prutton and everyone will be unsure as to whether they should be ecstatic or apopleptic so will be just indifferent.

For them to say that this Board is worse than the previous one beggars belief.They obviously don't
even listen to Fitton, because their minds are made up before he says anything.

Wow.



Just, wow. ???

What's 1000 season tickets between friends..

I actually think that there are people out there who really had no idea what was going on with the previous board. Unblelieveable, but true.

Totally unbelievable comments made about Fitton and our board of multi millionaires.

Some people have had a full frontal lobotomy and should not be allowed access to mobiles or computers to contact the radio station.

I think he's injured - at least I hope he is or I'll shoot Wilson myself.

I like the concept of an xyz formation, expand...

Ha ha ha ha - so true.

It's terrifying.

Let's flood the BBC email inbox with pro fitton emails to drown them out.

Some people criticise Fitton for being a bit idealistic.

He's a man who has real standards in life and long may that continue!

Or to save time, they should just be given a lethal injection.

Agreed! and I will administer them willingly to those mongs!

Is he? I assumed he was just benched. Must pay more attention.

xyz is that formation we've been playing all season. It'll never work.

Did anybody actually listen to Wilson? I tried to but it's really hard not to just phase out as he talks.

Danny Wilson....we are going to challenge come the end of the season...blah blah......as good players at this club as at any on their day......blah blah....too early to think that we wont make the play offs......blah blah.....grind out a result.....blah blah.....nothing new.

Ooooh, Prutton's on now talking about how inconsistency has cost us this season....hmmmmmmm....I suppose it has when you think about it. I'd not really noticed :hmmm:

I don't know I quite like the midfielders running across each other....

I imagine every fan thinks his club is supported by legions of dimwits, but I really think Swindon fans take the biscuit and are unrealistic with their expectations.  We had no right to make the playoff final last season on paper, and bar a few woeful results (which most teams seem prone to at this level) against lowly teams, we're doing "OK".  We're six points off the playoff zone, we've got potential in the team and a striker who scores for fun...  what's to be depressed about?  Six points from the next two games would transform our season.

I just think it's only the stupid cunts who text in.

I think Dovessidossevi might score a hat trick today.

we still won't win.

We need to re-address the balance somewhat.

True.

"It's just a case of banging it backwards and forwards at the moment|"


Sounds like gooooooood watching 8)

.....oh,and Andy Williams will score for Yeovil.

Ooooh...'Aldbourne based Tony McCoy'...I didn't know that  :hmmm:

Poxford losing  :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak :D :girlgiggle:

We loosing yet?

We're losing 0-0.

Not at the game crispy?

ooh things seem to be stepping up.

Mine was the white one

Nope, got this Viral infection flu rubbish... First home game i've missed in nearly 3 seasons.. :(

Think I may have had the white one as well.

I didn't know Phil Smith took corners:-

22:57
"Outswinging corner taken from the left by-line by Phil Smith, save by Stephen Henderson".  :D

we'll obviously try anything in these desperate times  ;D

My first kit was 92/93, Burmah sponsorship. You can get some goos retro shirts on Toffs:

It's DoSSevi Phil, DoSSevi...it's not that hard :crash:

Fucking hell diamandis is still about?

I was hoping he'd snuffed it somehow

Greek cunt.

What is the 300k about?

They did not elaborate but it sounds like he's absolutely taking the piss and Fitton is livid.

Cheers

Fitton basically said that it was something about extra money income, mentioned by Fitton after the end of the play off game that Diamond Mike decided he wanted a bit of that.

2 Luke Aylings, there's only 2 Luke Aylings!

Diamandis is just a grade A cunt.  Amusing that he thinks he can stiff Fitton though - not sure he is smart enough to mess with proper business men.  After all it didn't work very well for Bill Power did it?

I reckon the money will be a claim for wages or 'consultancy fees' for his involvement in transfers.  Hopefully it's fraudulent, the board prosecute him and he's sent to prison and bum raped lots.

Fucking hell Phil"That's in!"But it isn't

As its been barely mentioned I assume the game is a little dull.

As for Diamond Mike, I hope Fitton gets his way and we get some hefy costs off the Greek boy! Amazing his health has recovered after the poor little soldier was too poorly to attend the other case where he was a witness

Not much happening in the game then?

Phil has just said that Swindon are showing signs that possibly something will come in the second half. What does that mean?

Half time 0-0.  Never mind Fitton being angry with Diamandis.  I am fucking furious.  Proper cunt.

They playing strip poker?

We're getting quite good at dire first halves

Sadly our second halfs have been pretty shite also

Not many goals at all in League 1

Not many in any of the leagues.

Half time:

Poole 3-1 Hamble, Gilly twice (one an absolute screamer) and Lamin

first 20 minutes was dukk as fuck. Then we woke up and were gradually gettting better but It did seem like 2 poor teams struggling to get any fluency.

Breaking news, Poole Town's Tommy killick and Steve Cuss have been in talks with Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell on vacancy at Dean Court.

All set for a breakaway goal from Yeovil then?

Never...  Killick is die-hard Poole through-and-through!

Has there even been any efforts on goal?  Are we at least edging it?  I suppose a dull affair was always on the cards with quite a bit at stake, neither side can really afford to lose.  That said, I fucking hate footballing cliches.

Pericard off to Le Harve according to someone who text in.

My thoughts too!

Heard that too, Can't say i'm disappointed, Bye Bye Peri Peri Pershit.

JFL nearly put it into his own net but to me that's the same as a brilliant last ditch save because he's brilliant.

Phil Thompson: "...and his little girl or his little boy who's sitting in the stands watching will be absolutely pleased". Obviously been taking lessons of Dean Windass in punditry...

I still think Peri Peri has something to offer...  Rory Fallon was a clown till Parkin left.

Oooooooh

 :crash:

Ahh have Yeovil scored?

Don't think so.

booze cruise?

 One way traffic mate. should chalk up a few more in the 2nd half.

Cruel... very cruel, knew I should have gone today.  Roll on next week, anyone on here going?  Is there parking near Rovers' ground?  Where's the usual haunts to drink?  Thinking of going down early, drink in the sights and sounds.

The Pericard impact sub

As long as we keep a clean sheet we can't lose this./

Watch the pubs around the Memorial Ground, scarfers are fair game to them too.

Dossevi done fuck all again then.

fuck. rose off

Rose Red Card

Nearly got a red card in the first half.

Man alive our discipline is terrible. How many red cards we had this season?

Twat, for violent conduct?  What did he do?

 ::) From bad to fricking worse

Wonder what the atmosphere is like? Can imagine a lot of booing at the end if we don't win.

you'd fucking love that.

Flaming heck, hold on to a derisary point at least FFS

Glad i stayed away today sounds like a very boring match but we usually play better with 10 men

No but results aren't good enough and if we can't beat teams like Yeovil at home we are in big trouble.

Yeovil score. Upson. possibly

 :crash: :no: >:( :suicide:

you got your wish!

Here we go

Hmmmmm

 :gay: Wilson, my patience has run dry

fuck fuck fuck fuck, if we do lose yeovil will go 2 points behind us with a game in hand :(

My soul is literally melting in meltdown and radioactive beta soul particles are spraying over the internet

Charlie limping, looks like he's struggling.

Grrr Rose has a lot to answer for.  Bowditch it seems the scorer is.  Checking the stats on BBC, its not so much the scoreline as the match stats that are worrying.  That said, Yeovil have been on a decent run despite their current league position of late.

25 minutes to play, it's not slit your wrists time just yet.

god things are getting bad, que all the bitching and wilson out army

Two words: Wilson out.

Crowd getting on pericard's back.

The goal hasn't come up on sky so I still have belief!

thanks terry, that was VERY quick

[url width=500 height=324]http://img.myconfinedspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/oh-for-fucks-sake-500x324.jpg[/url]

timlin the match changer apparently coming on, as much as i like him i cant see how he will help us get back into it  :hmmm: hope im wrong

You're welcome :)

Ok I must have missed it, Sky says 0-1 which was my prediction.

This season is a total holocaust. :(

What's all this about Charlie's attitude? I missed that. No internet at work is a pain in the arse

Third sub. Timlin on for Ritchie ?

POOLE 3 HAMBLE 2

attendence 259

Nothing I don't think. He's struggling and limping abit from a tackle about 5 mins ago but waved to Wilson that he was ok before we used up our last sub

Not a popular decision!

It was one of the Aylings that scored.

Ironic that our season is ayling badly as well.

Oh dear...  There must be method to the madness - it can't be as simple as many people seem to see it, but can't help thinking that's a strange one.  At least Rovers are getting spanked at Carlisle, and Coles will be suspended for next week, so we've got a hope for next week....

Pericard free header wide

Warming up for his hat-trick...

I'm sure the crowd will support him and not get on his back at all for doing that!

If Danny Wilson is to be sacked or leave by mutual, it should happen the next few days, so we'll sort out a new manager BEFORE the transfer window closes. Or else it would be no point in changing a manager after the transfer window closes. We don't just need a new manager, we also need new players!

On the positive side: My bet on Yeovil today at 4.15 seems to give me a good profit!

how are you hearing this before me, are you listening on tinternet or radio? :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

I'm on an actual old school radio. Which means I'll get everything first.

agh well dont post too quickly after something happens, it ruins the surprise for me ;)

FFS! Just got in and surprised to see the scoreline - Normally read through the whole thread, but really cant be arsed now! So, have we been shite or what?

Phil King, football genius, brilliantly deducing that we may need to bring a few players in.

Is that three pints in the bar afterwards.

Only chance Peri-peri has of a hat trick

 :badmood:

we were dull, rose got sent off, got a bit shitter, then got really shit, now seem to be just shiteeee

Sounds like all Yeovil. Think we'll be lucky to hold on to 0-1

If we DO manage to equalise it will be worth 3 points

Phil King played 4 times for Villa but yet represents them in this 5-a-side Masters competition. Go figure!

Getting rid of Wilson won't get rid of the shite players we've got.

Ditto, I've read it all for you and to sum up, pffffffft. Might as well start reading from this page.

I think we have a good squad barring Rose, Pericard & Dossevi, It's down to the manager not the players.

But I'd feel better about not having his dog shit excuse post match interviews anymore.

Yeah get ready for another one.........

Rose motm

Poor bloke, can't do anything right

I really believe that if we lose next week,he will be gone-rightly or wrongly.

What makes you think he won't go after today?

If we lost today and next week we are in deep, deep doo doo!

We are already in deep doo doo.

He wont.

We badly need a win next week, so a managerial change now would be poor timing.  We're near the end of the transfer window.  I can't see Wilson taking us down, and Fitton is not an idiot.  Wilson barring a horrendous run will be here until the summer at least.

FUCKS SAKE AUSTIN.

Austin just blocked Timlins shot which was going in.

Fair point.

i think we are already in deep doo doo! This is depressing

Too many have been concentrating on Rovers (Currently 4 nil down and Coles sent off)

but Yeovil if they hang on,will be only 2pts behind us and with a game in hand.

We are now definately in a relegation battle.

He wants to trigger his relegation release cause of a sausage roll and a packet of cheese and onion.

can't see me venturing back out to the cg again this season.
i have better things to do with my time than watch that shower of shite

our run at present is horrendous if dw goes this month austin will most certainly follow

Obviously trying to engineer a move to Reading.

Because AF likes him and will give him one more chance-possibly.

When it goes wrong, it goes wronger

This was the first of our 'easier' games which was going to kick start the season.

Oh!

Has Wilson been sakced yet ?

Corners

Free Kick Yeovil. Ref about to blow Full time.

Hamble equalise 3-3

boo, thats all I can say on the subject.

In better news Forest turned it round in the last 5 minutes to win my £20 in my accumulator...  Boo yeah!

This is all rather depressing...

least Morecambe got a late winner

This is a bad month to give up alcohol!

If Wilson's still in charge next week I'm gonna start planning my away days for League 2.

Well that was shit

Bristol City 0 - 4 Middlesborough

A certain Mr Lita scored 2 goals.

Unfortunately it's of a little solace for our poor efforts at the CG today.

What have you got against Torquay?

Nowt (although had a few poor nights out down there), just geographically Morecambe are the local club so have slight soft spot for them

Oh dear, yet more disappointment

Time to do the honourable thing Wilson  :headhurts:

Seppuku is probably a bit drastic

Agreed unfortunately it just isn't acceptable, We should be doing a hell of a lot better.

I can't wait for the Wilson interview.

how much you lose on kauto?

Is it time to panic?  I have been a Wilson supporter, and have believed that patience was the right way.  But this is very poor, and very disappointing.  I just don't know......

Texts and emails are rather depressing.

How did Lesc play by the way?

Not been for ages shady, let's just say I've lost a bit of interest

You can't really blame them can you? Wilson's only in a job still cos he's living off last season, Any other team would have sacked him by now.

it would be nice if they read out some slightly more positive texts and emails, or do you think there far more negative depressing ones  :hmmm:

I know you've got to jump in at every possible Wilson moment you seen, but I actually meant that they were depressing because a lot of them have a point.

If I thought they were stupid I would have used a word which meant that and not a word which means something completely different.

Fair enough i thought you meant something else.

Just calm down. Lot's of people agree with you but by coming across as so keen about the Wilson out thing you're still going to piss them off.

Ah, ok, hope nothing too controversial  :hmmm: The whole Howe saga has had me rapt with interest this week. Amazing how a town as affluent as this hasn't produced a tycoon to at least put Cherries on an even-keel. Talk about a throw-away attitude to a stonkingly good season  ??? It'll be a long time coming before they'll be in a position to make a fist of reaching the Championship!

think they cant find any

Not at all, just can't be arsed with it

As for the tycoon, think the rich folk down here like to keep it that way

I'm as disappointed as the next Town fan, but I don't want Wilson out yet. He's proved he can achieve some level of success in this division, and has made some tidy signings (among the poor ones). I expect him to be given a decent wedge to spend before the transfer window is shut. The club know they're gonna get a large sum of money from Austin either now or at the end of the season so should be able to afford to spend some.

I don't want them spending money on paying up Wilsons contract that could go towards a players fee or wages.

Wilson got us into this mess and I believe he'll get us out of it.

Well that was shit.

Trouble is if Charlie goes in this window, you can see us going down. Any strikers bought in to replace him, are probably going to take a while to find their feet

Get the San Miguels out. I'm on the Tescos own brand cider. Needs must!

Charlie has been fucking dog shit since xmas bar two moments at charlton

That was crap...but the ref/linesman cost us that game, after falling for the dive which cost Rose a sending off. Yeovil were the biggest divers I've seen this season.

Prutton was awful, and really should've been taken off, instead of Richie. I thought Pericard did alright when he came on.

No shit?!!

At the end of the day we lost again and the wilson out brigade is getting stronger everytime we lose. When we win it just holds the wilson out brigade for another day. FFS i have supported town for many years and seen us in worse situations and have worse managers. I will keep faith whoever is at the helm and even though i cant make most matches due to work i will keep following my team through heartache and pain.

I'm not as much in the loop as the rest of you, although I did meet Charlie at the pre-season friendly at Poole and he seemd a fairly meek guy, very much under the watchful eye of his formidably built father. Can someone give me a hint at what he is supposed to have done that has made him unliked in the Hungerford area?

Couldn't abide seeing him in a Saints shirt :doh:

That was very difficult to watch. Not one positive performance. Completely disjointed, half-hearted and lifeless. Take the goal threat away and I genuinely fear for the rest of the season. Comedy substitution as well. The posts about Wilson being in a job because of last year are spot on.  

Thats it.

Change is needed. That was wank, shit, bollocks - the selection was wrong. Why was Ferry dropped? no reason, we missed him as he at least closes players down, alot more often than Douglas and Prutton. The subs, what the fuck? did he draw them out of a hat. Pericard on for Dossevi was fucking stupid. You have 3 strikers, this is a pretty important relegation battle game, so why do a like for like swap. Means if you start chasing the game you havent got another striker?  Fuck it, go 3 up front for fuck sake. Timlin for Richtie? nice, go defensive, shut up shop - wait a minute we're LOSING 1-0!! not winning.

Rose, didnt see the sending off, no idea what it was for.

Francios was sold for 99.9% of the game but cost us the goal.

Worst of all, no fight at all - hell, it was fucking Pericard tracking back and putting in last ditch tackles. He looked like the only one who wanted it!!!

Its gone on too long now.

Wilson wont change it around because if he could, he would have done it by now. The players should have been sent out full of fucking fire today. This was a battle, a fucking war and we gave up, rolled over and died.

Yeovil wanted it, their players were together and their fans celebrated like a cup win at the end, us against them.

None of that comradery here and we need it. Wilson cant deliver it so he can fuck off.

He's given away a couple of penalties. Suppose his mind is elsewhere Mex, but where else are any goals going to come from to get us out of this mess

I don't expect he will go now. I think he'll be here until the end of the season. Not many teams will spend the best part of 2 million during the January window on a striker not proven at a higher level.

We need to spend now, 3 or 4 players at least.

Couldn't have put it better, No desire (Sean Morrison quote from last week) No motivation and just total shite, Wilson has got to go now surely? But he won't because i don't think Fitton will sack him to be honest.

Time to act Fitton - get rid of him now.

I've heard plenty from a couple of lads I used to play county golf with, I'm a bit reluctant to get drawn into this whole debate, and such talk is most frowned upon by the powers that be at the TEF as the sun shines out of Austin's backside apparently.

Cuthbert was a fucking liability too and dont get me started on prutton

Supposedly stamping, but the guy just collapsed to the ground. I did have a good view of it, and the Yeovil bench didn't help by going ape shit. Of course they tried to get Rose sent off towards the end of the first half for a professional foul, when the player took a dive (which was re-created behind the goal by Rockin' Robin).

Basically, he became a professional footballer and they are all jealous of his success so have spread loads of shit about him.

He could have been sent off in the 1st half too when that Yeovil player was through and got pushed.

They were all fucking shit

It was a clear sending off and once you all see it there wont be no disagreemant.

Wilson has to go

OK, cheers Dave, just scurrilous rumours then. Reading between the lines from certain posts on the forum I gathered he had a coke habit or something  :crash:

How anyone can even contemplate blaming the officials is beyond me. We were shit. Austin was utter crap and my MOTM was Ritchie.... Who Wilson subbed.  I also hope Rose gets a right ticking off too after his antics. Let himself down today.

I'm in the Wilson out camp now. I wasn't before as wasn't sure who could do better based on who was available but bring in Johnson now & give him some dosh for the remainder of the transfer window.

I'm not saying I want Wilson out but if he was given the boot I would not be averse to Johnson coming in.

I dont think anyone would because he's better than Wilson.

Who could take over?

Paul Peschilslido
Gary Johnson
Phil Parkinson
Paul Trollope
Gary Waddock
George Burley
Paul Bodin

Just a few names.

Johnson would be my choice without a doubt.

Done a superb job at Yeovil & City getting them to the brink of the prem.

Wilson on now.

on now

looking likely to win the game before the sending off?

fuck off danny, thats utter shite.

Same drivel then, We would have lost even if Rose stayed on IMO.

Sums it up, I thought he was wank and didn't even attempt to beat his man once. The rest of them were even worse.

Massive emphasis on sending off

Thought he put himself about and tried to play football.

Best of a bad bunch IMO.

He's very adept at saying what should and shouldn't happen but seems powerless to do anything about it.

Haha fair play to the interviewer for asking him if he's going to walk away.

Did he reply?

Yes. He said no.

Stfc Bournemouth

'Situations like this is how men are made' blah blah blah

Gone in the morning hopefully

Veiled assault on Charlie there

What was said?

Won't happen, That's the reality, Can you see Fitton sacking him? I don't even though there's no doubt now that he should go, He should have gone last week.

That if some players don't think they have to perform then we'll ship them out. or something like that.

HA Budgets he is the cunt who has spunked the budget

Pericard to Le Harve  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Who thinks up these?

No truth in Saints says Wilson, Hull was the last one, and it's been a big distraction. Charlie has to remember we'll only sell at a fair price

It's a very poor interview.  On the way back from the Notts County defeat, I asked the other two chaps in the car if I was wrong to start doubting Wilson.  There was silence.  I thought he had no answers to our problems...the last couple of games and interviews would appear to back this up.

A French second division club? Why not?

I was more surprised that a club would actually want to sign him.

Yeah, but the French second division is pretty crap though.

Stick together guys.

We looked clueless. Wilson can't send them out without a game plan but that's what it looked like.

Wilson seems to have lost it from the team selection he made and the subs, bizarre to say the least. He has filled the team and squad with utter shite and the team has nowhere to go. 2 wins in 10 says it all.

We need new players by the bucket and ship some out asap. Lose on sat and fail to beat Tranmere  and he's gone for me.

Why wait till then? A new man wouldn't have time to make new signings then, A new man has to come in Monday or Tuesday so he has time to sign a few players, I don't think we should wait any longer.

Pericard today showed he'd be better off at centre back!

Dont give wilson ideas!

On the bright side, we're beginning to achieve that elusive consistency.

Pericard actually looked interested for once when he came on I thought, put a bit of effort in. Shame he doesn't normally, and the rest of the team didn't...where's the passion gone?

I've been sitting on the fence on the Wilson In/Out thing but I'm starting to think he's done all he can and has run out of ideas so maybe it is time to leave.

  We now know we're in a relegation battle and can respond accordingly....Wilson deserves the opportunity to sort this out.

  Don't think there's any chance of Wilson getting sacked

AND Supermarine lose to Oxford City  :smack: :smack: :smack:

That,I believe,is total bollocks-he will not "ship out" any players that he has brought in even if they are "not performing".He's dropped Ferry today,so obviously he thinks Simon's not performing.Vince and OB have not "performed" and they're still here.

Sorry don't agree with you saying he deserves the opportunity to sort it out, He's had long enough to sort this team out and failed.

But i agree about you're 2nd point, I don't think Fitton will sack him.

What an utterly utterly wank game today. Utter utter shit.

For those wondering what it would be like to play without Charlie Austin. We found out today. AWOL.

The back four were all over the shop early doors. Lecs and Cuthbert recovered to have reasonable games but the former fucked up for the goal. Caddis has a good touch and good energy but was far too lightweight and couldn't cope physically. Rose has a great delivery but is defensively shakey.

Midfield was shit save for Ritchie. Douggie looked like he couldn't be arsed. Prutton was cack and JPM didn't do a lot.

Dossevi looked OK. He is what he is. Vince is very limited but actually tried to put in some effort today. Well done. Shame about the previous 11 months.

Didn't see the sending off so can't comment. If he stamped its a red, simple as that.

What I don't understand is why the fuck we went 3 in an already under performing midfield and then Wilson make the most spaccer decision by hauling off the creative one and putting on Timlin.

And that was that. Utterly unacceptable.

Rumour mill*: Wilson on thin ice may be gone by Monday. Ferry ready to Walk. Sheehan and JPM very unhappy at club, AOB still a few games away from his automatic contract extension.

*crowd rumours are not actual size and may contain nuts!
 

Which alternitive is cheaper? Im not sure how long dw has on his contract but sacking him and then hiring a new manager and plus then signing players will put us back in debt. Let wilson see out his contract which if im right should be 6 months :bye:

He's had months to sort this out and hasn't done.  We are suffering the same problems now as we did in October.

He's on a rolling contract which expires in June i believe.

No need to apologise as I don't give a shit what you think....your contribution seems to consist of nothing but the most negative tripe.

To be truthful his substitutions have always been "bizarre"

Where to start?

That was horrendous. Yeovil were really average but caused us problems for long periods of the game. We were garbage bar a 15 minute spell in the middle of the first half.

Defensively we look so shaky. The defending for the goal was embarrassing and none of the back four can be pleased with their work today. Smith made a couple of good saves and was unlucky with the goal but didn't deserve the special treatment from the fans, and his distribution was poor again.

The midfield was pretty non-existant, especially JPM and Prutton. Austin appears to be somewhere else up top and done pretty much nothing.

Dougie was our man of the match, but only because he was the only one in a red shirt doing anything right come the final whistle as the other two, Doss and Ritchie, had been taken off. They were far from good, but DWs subs were truley baffling. Doss looked lively first half and couldn't have done much more but then gets dragged off 5 mins into the second half? What message does that send to him. And Ritchie for Timlin is just fucking stupid.

All over the park we shit. From 12 to 32, just Dougie, Doss and Ritchie were slightly less shit.

Didn't see the sending off, but from what I can gather Rose was a dick and only has himself to blame.

Didn't think the ref was anywhere near as bad as most of the crowd, and I wish we'd stop fucking singing "we always get shit refs" every time a decision goes against us. It started half way through the first half for an innocuous decision. It's not the ref's fault we're shit!

Yet again we've lost to a poor team. Might be a bit harsh on Yeovil but they're far from good, yet fully deserved to win.

DWs interview is the same old shit too.

I'll never slag Fitton and co off and will always be grateful for turning our club round. Any criticism of them is misplaced, but the clock is ticking very loudly on Wilson's time at this club. He has a budget that should have more than allowed him to compete for a play-off spot, but we are truley shocking at the moment and up to our necks in a relegation battle now. The pattern of DWs career is clearly repeating, and it's time to go. Before today I thought we should wait until the summer and let him go as he is out of contract, but now it's over. Get rid, offer the job to Johnson and have done with it.

Go Reg!

The way things are there's nothing to be positive about  :suicide:

From the Wilson interview: ""The lads are lacking a bit of confidence but one big win could change that"

Well, Danny... look at the confidence we built at The Valley!!!

Exactly, well said.

I quite liked the Ritchie sub. I thought Wilson bringing on a defensive midfielder for an attacking winger showed great thinking and tactical genius to try and keep the game at 0-1.

tick tock tick tock, thats the sound of your life running out danny wilsons time running out

 :D

Can't think of a single positive about today at all. Utterly dreadful.

As others have said, feelers need to put out to Gary Johnson. If he fancies it then get him in sharpish before someone else does.

I hate football sometimes. Today's performance and the Diamandis thing has sent me into full on can't be fucked mode with the whole mess.

Might I just say on the Rose thing that my view of it was that he did stamp, their players obviously didn't help but it was a clear red. HOWEVER, the reason he kicked out at their player is because he had grabbed rose fully around the legs about two feet in front of the referee to prevent him going past him on his run- Rose looked up the refereee, clearly said something, the ref did nothing at all and then Rose kicked out, stupid thing to do but it should never have got that far, was absolutely disgraceful cheating from the Yeovil player in full view of the ref who couldn't care less.

Is it everybody elses opinion you don't give a shit about Reg, or just the people that disagree with you?

I believe you mean Le Havre ... unless French football is a game of 2 Harves

Wilson out now. Absolutely fucking useless.

Yeovil were poor, but we were worse. Made to look dogshite by a fucking small-time team like Yeovil.

Experienced head need at the back, NOT Frampton. Lescinel did well (bar the rebound for the goal), but him and Cuthbert just don't work well together, both good individual performers though.

JPM was a useless pile of cow turd today. Prutton likewise. Douglas got motm but God knows why, our best player was Ritchie, who was substituted. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU JUSTIFY TAKING RITCHIE (AN ATTACK-MINDED PLAYER) OFF FOR TIMLIN (A DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER AT BEST) WHEN WE'RE DESPERATELY CHASING A POINT IN A MATCH WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO GET THREE POINTS FROM? Frustration just isn't the word.

Getting tired of Wilson's excuses now. Yes, we seem to have wretched luck with officials. But something has to change. And as we can hardly sack the entire squad, Wilson has to be the fall guy.

P.s I'd happily have Gary Johnson.

This is all a bit grim.

What aload of shit! Rose deservedly sent off for a ridiculus stamp,and btw I think he was lucky not to be sent off in the first man the Yeovil player was clean through the player had no need to go down so must of felt a push.

I agree with the lack of desire Yeovil wanted it far more than us in every area of the pitch and I hate to lose football matches because the other side wants it more and this had happened to much this season!

What was up with wilsons subs!? I thought dossevi looked lively and to take him off for Pericard was wrong and I don't mean that to be another scapegoat comment. Why take your most creative player off for a more defensive midfielder whne chasing a game? You can argue and correctly so  a manager can't do much when his team crosses the White line but he can motivate his team and can make changes, both today Wilson clearly didn't do to my satisfaction!

Would I sack Wilson, I would be very tempted
Do I think the board will sack Wilson at the moment, no

However defeat at rovers next week and a poor performance I will be in the Wilson out camp and I think a fair few others will putting more pressure on Wilson and the board to make a decision!

I'll respect anyone's opinion, even if it doesn't agree with mine, if it seems that poster is worthy of respect, and their argument shows some craft.

Rose is a bellend, if you're being held then fall over onto their guy. dont be a fucking twat and stamp on someone

their number 11's dive in the first half was embarrassing.

What a steaming pile of poo....!

It's mad me angry, I've shouted at everyone especially the twat that blocked my car in...!

I have depressed football supporters tourettes... FUCK ... SHIT ... BOLLOCKS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

there was at least 1 stride between them. he dived

definite dive then? Couldn't tell from our angle.

Reg likes me

Is it just a grudge against STFC4L? Because he doesn't seem to be posting anything that dozens of others aren't agreeing with. Donkey posted an almost identical comment about 2 minutes later and you didn't seem to give a shit.

Back the same old same old that we've had for most home games this season.
I thought Yeovil were the worst team at CG this season (maybe about same as Leyton O) and we ended up not looking as though we'd get anything from the match if we played all night.
The 2nd part of the first half, I thought we played OK and a few excellent saves from their gk kept them in the game.
But 2nd half was as dire as much of the season has been.

I agree that Rose has a lot to answer for - yes, the ref was letting them get away with a lot (2 footed tackles going unpunished on a number of occasions) and this will lead to frustration but there is no excuse for a pro player losing discipline like that.  I thought he was playing OK to that point though.

Once we had 10 we looked clueless and lacking in ideas and any sense of urgency. The negative final substitution just underlined this feeling.

I wouldn't argue with Douglas being MOTM.  He played a good role in front of the defence and was very solid but there was little flair anywhere in the team, with the exception of Ritchie on occasion.  Prutton, JP and Timlin all seemed anonymous as so often there was no creativity from the midfield.

Up front Charlie looked disinterested and seemed to have moved on already.  Dossevi did his usual running around like a headless chicken and I think poor old Vince tries but just doesn't have the ability

Unlike some others I thought the defence looked comfortable for most of the game, apart from the slip-up for their goal.  I was impressed with JFL, and if we'd been better in attack and won 3-1 he'd surely be getting more praise.

I think we need several new players in soon - a couple of strikers, a dominant midfielder to partner Dougie and another central defender.  If this doesn't happen soon we'll be playing Yeovil again next season in League 2.

:hug:

Oh well.  We support Swindon.  We are surely used to shit and lack of success.

So my opinion of the game.

As I said at half time we were both dogshit for 20 minutes, then we seemed to settle and actually had periods where we looked passable.

Second half we seemed to be getting back into the groove when Rose did his stampy thing.  In my opinion it was a stamp, it was a sending off offence but the referee let it go to far and could have stopped it if he had censured the yeovil player who was holding Rose and not letting him carry on playing.  He played the ref and got what he wanted.  I call it cheating.

For the goal, well we just fucked up.  Id though JFL and Cuthbert were doing ok, a few scares from JFL but nothing out of the ordinary.  In fact JFL was showing some good passing ability coming out of defence and a calmness that I hadnt seen before.  But really they both just fell asleep and didnt react.

Then we just couldnt get back into the game.  The substitutions were a little baffling and frankly by the end of it I lost the will to live.  We really were a bit shit.  No effort shown.  Austin was absent and hurt himself going in a bit naughtily with a yeovil player.    

We need new players.

We may need a new manager.  Ive not said that before but it did seem to be a bunch of headless chickens running around doing fuck all by the end of it.

Fairly or not, STFC4L has got a bit of a reputation of posting very little else than Wilson out posts, which he seems to take quite a lot of pleasure in. I think he started back in October

I've been in the give Wilson more time camp for a while now. What he got out of the players last year was phenomenal, for whatever reason everything just clicked. For whatever reason this just hasn't happened this season, and watching from afar all does not seem right in the camp.

I suspect egos have been a problem in the dressing room this season, certain players that were brought in to be big influences in the dressing room and on the pitch, Prutton perhaps, just haven't worked out for me. Last year we had a young hungry squad of players who were genuinely happy to be playing football.

Unfortunately the squad disharmony or lack of effort, commitment and guile has to be blamed on Wilson. The buck stops with him, it's his team, his tactics and his questionable substitutions that have put us in this situation.

Add to this the fact that were down to 3 centre backs on Monday and Charlie will be gone in January, I just don't see where the positives are at the moment.

It's not an attractive job for anyone else to take on so people thinking Pauolo Sousa etc are dreaming. Gary Johnson could be an option but with 2 weeks of the window left decisions have to be made quickly if they are to be made.

So fucking frustrated and annoyed at the moment, home to fucking Yeovil ffs!!!!

Good post...not even going to start to comment on todays match...in shock to be honest...spent the morning trying to convince arriba that Caddis wasn't that bad..was i wrong :nod:
Feel a tad sorry for Wilson......the players were dire....even Charlie missed a sitter from two yards out.
Am tempted to say we missed Morrison....but i wont ;D
JFL was my MOM for us by miles...nothing special but worked hard and kept it simple.
The sending off was a certainty....though i thought the Yeovil players knew how to get to the ref and got away with a lot...fair play to them.
Take my hat off to Yeovil.....poor team who were well organised and worked hard.
Oh and just shy of 8000........good support and let down by a very,very bad performance....a shocking performance.

Not a great deal to say that hasn't been said already by those who attended the game.  Absolute shambolic crap.  It's interesting to note that nobody can take away anything positive from today, usually there's someone who can come up with something, but not today. 

For the umpteenth time this season we're been beaten by a shite team who wanted it more than we did.  Inevitably the sending off was used in the post match interview as the turning point, but did we honestly look like we were going to win anyway?  Did we hell.

We are now fully entranched in a relegation battle and that is a fact.  I don't know how things have gone so wrong this season, but anyone who thinks Wilson is going to turn it around is totally deluded.  We are an absolute mess on the pitch and he doesn't have the slightest clue what to do about it.  I slightly lost the plot when he brough Timlin on for Ritchie and am ashamed to say my language was so obscene my dad had to tell me to tone it down in front of my 7 year old son!  I think that was the point that a large amount of people climbed over the fence and joined the Wilson out side.  The players are to blame as well and let's see some movement and ship out the crap and uninterested ones, I honestly can't see it making things any worse.

I'm pissed off and despondant.  Not sure where we go from here to be honest other than League 2 if something doesn't change quickly.

Been waiting for your balanced slant on things Leefer. Not too good then? Still it don't get any worse, Brock didn't have a game today

That's just what this league is about; generally poor - and Yeovil poorer than most but get by with good organisation and hard work.  Bournemouth are the prime example - not a great team but in 3rd place (before today) because they do what they need to.  Swindon this season are just the opposite - look a shambles most of the time despite having individuals that are better than most at this level.

Btw agree with you on JFL.  Caddis I think is very good defensively but his ball distribution is shocking and gets into far too much trouble unnecessarily.

When Leefer says it's that bad it really is that bad   :)

QFT

To be fair we were set up all wrong,we play too deep at home....Ritchie and Douglas are picking up balls on the edge of our own box...Prutton and Caddis were shocking and i almost felt sorry for Caddis...he just didn't know what to do......Dossevi had his chance and was dire.....in fact bar JFL i can only applaud Pericard who came on and put a shift in.....including a great tackle in our own box,
Austin was poor...but he owes us nothing.

Rose has been a cocking liability all season.
Yes he takes a mean free kick but his defending, distribution and contribution are shit.
He's always out of position, yet again today he was exposed, and on the only run forward he made he decides to stamp on a player and get sent off.

Bloody glad he's out for 3 games - twat..!

yeah the problem is, come our next game he's also likely to be top of the assists chart and our top goal scorer!

HE'S STILL A TWAT..!

Danny Wilson has to be given more time. He's earned it. He came here when we were heading to League 2 he bought in some good players, he saved us from relegation, he then built a side that played magnificently last season which included doing the double over Leeds and Southampton, a side that got to the Play Off Final at Wembley and within 90 minutes of The Championship. He's made mistakes both in the transfer market and on the pitch, he human get over it, which manager hasn't.

Don't let the last 6 months overshadow the previous 18 months.

The players have to have a long good look at themselves, they have been pathetic this season.

Wilson in.

Let's hope there was no one there today that is being lined up to join, because I'm sure there comment to Fitton & co after today would be "Fuck That".

Regardless of how poor the performance may or may not have been, there's no fucking point in singing "you're nit fit to wear the shirt" to the 10 men who were on the pitch.

I'm assuming that all the wankers singing it will be happy for Fitton to sack the lot of them (after all you were singing it to the whole team) & play the youth team from now on.

One other point, not that anyone at the club will come out and say it, but the support that the team get on matchdays is deserving of a relegation battle.

Yes, the performance today was poor, but we don't really get behind the team.

Anyway I off to slit my wrists & drink bleach for a couple of hours

Yeah

The players that Wilson brought in, trains, issues tactics to and motivates

I think your argument is flawed

Spot on. Im sick of it.

The same players who were immense last season?

THAT WAS LAST SEASON, IT MEANS FUCK ALL NOW.

Jack charlton was pretty fucking decent in '66, let's get him back.

like who ?

Hahaha now the fans are getting the blame.

who's blaming the fans ?

4 posts up. Our support deserves a shit team apparantly

Kauto Star won the King George last season, perhaps I'll get paid out today!

Cuthbert, Ferry, Douglas, JPM have all been under par this season compared with last season.

ah yes sorry mate

Dont know why but i agree with you on this but im still fucking pissed right off after that performance.

Austin has done well this season (mostly)

Lucas, Greer, Amankwha/Derby, Ferry, Sheehan, Ward, Paynter aren't playing much or have moved on.

Must be all Cuthbert, Douggie and JPMs fault then.

we're all pissed off, another dire performance.

And two years on we are no better off heading to league 2

Thats 4


well done !

Lets get this straight then

Cuthbert - Obviously missing a leader type figure to play alongside

Douglas - disagree with you, a lot of the time he is the only one who looks as though he gives a shit

Ferry - When has he been given a fucking chance this season ?

JPM - Played out of position so many fucking times


carry on .................

I didn't sing, the DRS don't do that! But I don't agree with you.

Its an age old argument and usually ends up with arguments some players may get the kick up the arse they need and some may go into their shell. So I won't draw it out.

I sang it and i called them cunts.

They have all under performed this season. I said in my earlier post that Wilson is to blame also. His signings this season haven't seemed to have worked, when you look at Ball and Dossevi (even though he hasn't played that much, he isn't convincing) and Prutton who even though hasn't been our worse player this season has not been consistent enough.

I don't think sacking Wilson is the answer I honestly don't.

Compared to last season they have been shit.

and why do you think that is then ?

i agree with mrverve to a point.but the buck stops with the manager though.
there are a number of reasons why it is shit this year i believe.
the players being shit,the new signings being shit,and the manager being shit covers it all i think.....

exactly and as per my original reply it all lands at the managers door

Just got back. Not happy at all. If i'm being honest ive reached the final straw with Wilson. We won't turn the corner. We're shite. Even with 11 men we were never going to win that game. It was poor from start to finish and we never looked like we wanted anything from the game. Surely now Wilson has run has course? Dont get me wrong he did an amazing job last season but time has run out for him. We are struggling and the players clearly dont want to play for him anymore.

Call me depressed all you want. I dont care. For the first time in over a season today I lost my rag in the Town End. The difference this time is that people agreed with me. Sort it out Fitton before it's too late.

I don't think it all lies with Wilson thats all i'm saying.

It doesn't...Wilson has to operate within the strategy laid down by the Board, which is to acquire young players and sell them on or in the case of Greer, not offer a long contract so sell him on.

However this is the strategy designed to avoid the mess we've got into previously...some might not like it, but it seemingly wont change.

Any new manager will also have to operate within this framework....people talk of Johnson but he fell out at Posh over the McLean move...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mr Fitton has high regard for Paul Trollope.

Christ you can feel everyone's anger tonight.

That comment in an earlier post about Sheehan and JPM being ready to walk was funny.  JP has been largely awful, and is only occasionally getting in the team on the basis of last season's form and for his crossing ability.  I wouldn't be sad if he went.  Sheehan has been in and out of the team because of injuries and his temperament.  We are in a similar league position now to when he joined.  He was a free agent when we signed him and I didn't see a queue forming for his signature.  I like him and he has undoubted quality, but he can have no complaints.

Put simply Dossevi, Pericard, Rose, AOB and Timlin aren't good enough and need to go.  For me Dossevi was a panic buy.  JPM, Prutton, Ferry, Lucas and Amankwaah have all had frequent patches of poor form and been horribly inconsistent.  Dougie and Cuthbert are playing below last seasons standard.  Caddis has looked OK but he ain't a RB and he ain't a right winger either.  Basically Jack Smith Mark II.
 
We need 4 or 5 players pronto.  Although I expect we'll fuck around waiting for the perfect deal, and the perfect player.  We never do a quick deal, everything is protracted.  Hopefully we can achieve a respectable finish this season and build for next year.  All the play off talk is bollocks.  This season is already over.    

in the build up to the goal today - their striker was effectively raping cuthbert as the ball goes into the box. he's backed in so much cuthbert probably fancied a fag after, not to try and stop the ensuing pinball.

on those grounds i demand the goal be struck off and we get 1 point

It was Ferry, and I shouldn't have put it as it was a stupid rumour. Sorry to have upset you on that :)

Other than that I largely agree. Though the season isn't over if we don't buck up.

I don't think we will see lots of signings though unless Charlie goes for big money, we have surely spent quite a bit (with wages) on Ritchie, Ferry, Caddis and Sheehan to name a few.

Thought LJF was motm, closely followed by Douglas. Ritchie and Smith were also good. The rest of the team were crap. A special mention for Pericard for the speed he got back at after one of out attacks broke down at the end and then got an important block in. Didn't realise he could move that quick, made it look like the other players were walking.

I can't actually criticise any of the players for the performance today though. When an entire team turns to shit and can't play anything close to their ability there is only one person to be blamed and that's the manager.

Just when you think things can't get worse - they do. For the first 25 minutes we were there for the taking and looking as thuogh we were waiting for them to score. The fact they couldn't take advantage was because they were utter, utter shite. For the last 20 in the first half we were the better team but we could have had 20 players on the pitch and still have done fuck all.
The second half was an absolute embarassment and worthy of anytihng that Malpas, King and even Beamish could muster up.
I think every player should be ashamed to draw their wages today and in fact I think they should donate this weeks wages to the STFC charity of the year. Wilson and the coaching staff should also do this.
Today was the absolute fucking pits. Yeovil were bollox and we were worse.
Wilson has to go. For the second home game we're chasing he brings on Timlin. Did he even touch the ball today?
No spirit, no skill, no will to win, no bottle, no fucking interest = relegation candidates.

We were a shambles in the second half lacking fight or spirit against a poor Yeovil and this is becoming tedious losing regularly to crap teams.

Please, on throw-ins can the players fucking move. Particulary aimed at 'sticky boots' Prutton.

Doesn't help when the supporters have given up on them before they've even kicked off. Shit support and atmosphere yet again.

Oh that does my fucking nut in.  No movement at all, no desire to show for it.  Douglas did start to in the second half but the whole season we've been lacking this!!!

Good post - agree with most of this but I think the 4 players mentioned in jonny72's post above should be exempt from the penalty.
Btw was it Timlin whose shot was expertly blocked by Charlie near the end?

sticky boots' Prutton. :D


Think we had about 9 corners...to there 1 or two.

nerves.hiding out on the park.a classic sign when things aint right

If I were DW I'd be making the whole damn squad train tomorrow. Why give them a rest when clearly they're not giving their all on the pitch?

I don't know why everyone is suddenly blaming the support. Even last season at home our atmosphere was quite shit in my opinion apart from when we scored, and the town end. It was only the away games that everyone really made some noise.

It's hard to show support to players that constantly underperform and look like they can't be arsed

This shitness is doubtless sparked by players seeking moves, contract wrangles etc.....makes it a difficult job....it will still be a difficult job if someone else takes it on...at least Wilson knows whats going on and has the experience to sort it out.

It's not suddenly, the support and atmosphere at the CG has historically been a bit crap just at the moment it's fucking dire

players dont hide because they aint trying.they are shit scared of fucking up.
if that is what happend today(i wasn't there)then wilson has to go now.
only a new man who can lift the players can cure that.a fucking hard rut to get out of

Anyone seen or heard from Bazza? Hope he's not making his way to Bridgend...

Atmosphere is something that needs to be built up before the match, the crap music played does not help the pre-match "entertainment??" - best part was when one of the Robinettes slipped over!!  And what the hell was that retro thing in front of the Arkells at half-time, poor, bloody poor!  Unfortunately it often takes a controversial incident to stir our support, this time it sent us to sleep.  Think we accepted our fate the moment Rose saw red, and noses were definitely on the floor once they scored.

What a load of shit.

I can understand the substitution of Ritchie off Timlin on, but if Wilson is going to go for three CM and get rid of the width at least let it be Ferry and not Timlin. I thought that at 1-0 down bringing O'brien on for the shit Prutton might have been the way to go...obviously stopping more goals is more of an issue than needing to score.

Pericard should have come on for Austin - he was about as useful as a toddler.

Lex was my MOTM, after so long out of the team to come in and play like he did was brilliant. Some of his tackles were spot on, he's able to keep up with attackers chasing down a ball, and he was cool on the ball when playing it out of defense - just a pity most of those passes were either too hard or went to no-one. For teh goal i thought when the first ball came over teh top their player might have been leaning into Cuthbert, oh well.

cuthbert was effectively being raped, but the ref's done well to ignore that

Those things are always going on but a bad run of form makes them an issue and multiplies the problem. Suddenly players are pissed for not being picked, not earning as much as others, not being offered a new contract and so on. A change of manager sometimes means a clean start and can turn things round very quickly especially if the players have lost confidence with the current manager.

Just so frustrated more than anything else after today. They've shown they can do it against wednesday and charlton, then to play like we did in the last two matches...makes no sense to me.

Not sure binning Wilson now will make any difference to this season, but fuck me its never smooth sailing for long being a Swindon fan.

Yes Reg, because such things only go on when things are bad on the pitch, no player has ever spat his dummy out or wrangled for a new contract/transfer when a team is winning in the history of football.

More likely they're not being picked for being pissed. I assume you meant "pissed off" - unless you're actually American, sort it out.

yeah

Near on all 8000 of us, for a basement clash

The supporters are quiet because we are fed up of the shit we are being delivered week in week out and yet we still turn up.

Some people really need to get a grip

Possibly opening myself up to a "whoosh" here but Rooney and Tevez?

I think you are rather

Cripes

This is why I hate written sarcasm... you just don't get the intonation.  I'll get my coat.

On a sort of positive note-our goal difference could be worth an extra point come May(as long as we dont start getting hammered of course).

I think a lot of Town fans started getting hammered after the game and will probably continue to do so until the season ends.

I see Jonny's still got some serious man love for LJF.

How anyone can suggest LJF deserves any credit for today is beyond me. Just watch the fucking goal! It's irrelevant him doing alright for most of the game if he just gifts an absolute sitter, which is standard for him.

There's a reason he was fourth choice CB before this week.

Been banging on about this for years myself, Ronnie.

Our pre-match music is shit, the announcer is shit, the robinettes are shit. The whole pre-match thang is a pile of small-town, no class no style, shit.

The whole 442 / Adidas / Samsung / EA sponsorship deal reeks of pure class. The advertising, the merchandise, the team bus etc is all very impressive and is very professional - probably worthy of gracing at least one or two current Premier League clubs to be honest.

As soon as you get in the ground though, you're greeted by yet another pikey-on-the-mikey trying to warm up the crowd by getting each stand to embarrasingly repeat 'YOU REDS' after he bellows it out over the PA system.

And shit music. And 'dancing' kids, seemingly devoid of any real talent.

Not blaming this on our inability to play decent, competitive football, but the tone of the match day atmos is to an extent, defined by what goes on in the 15 or 20 minutes before the teams run out.

Our atmos is shit. Someone at the club should sort it out. It might make a fucking difference.

Oh, and we were shit today :badmood:

Not going to single out certain players for being bad. Shit team performance again. Something's got to give.

It was shocking defending. However Cuthbert needs to look at himself too for watching his man race in unchallenged to stick in the rebound.

Smith, Cuthbert and LJF have to take the blame for the goal. They all played statues, although in fairness to Smith he did well to save the first shot, but as soon as it was up on the bar they all froze.

Fucking diabolical yesterday, I haven't been that angry in a while, I've definitely not woken up still angry about a game for a long time. Fucking fuming. Something has gotta change now.

I thought we did OK for 25 minutes in the first half.

The rest of it, utter rubbish. No team spirit, no determination. We are hopeless attacking the Stratton Bank end.

Some players obviously are not happy. Theres something gone wrong in the dressing room, theres no team spirit. That great 100% performance at Charlton was obviously for the benefit of the Sky camera's. Unless it turns round next week it will probably be Wilson that has to carry the can. But if the dressing room is split then it might take more than that.

I think the supporters were extremely nervous yesterday. No it doesnt help the players. But after the Charlton game, everyone's hoping they are going to click into gear.

I said all week that this was the crucial game. We are in a relegation scrap now. We might have to wait until the end of the transfer window to see who is ready to start scrapping.

In my opinion, Rose's impending suspension appears to be the only positive from yesterday... he's fucking clueless.

Doing the usual and posting  before scrolling back through.

I could'nt face logging on last night....i was too fucking depressed..

What a complete sack of shit that was.  Like Oldham, Yeovil were shite and we were worse.

One of the very worst i have seen at Swindon in many a year.

Only Smith came out with any credit at all and his kicking was shit at times.

Did a Wenger and did not see the incident that Rose walked for but if it was for a stamp then hes got to go....will check the highlights (if its shown). After the shocking displays recently, he will not be missed!

Apart from a free can of Coke Zero at the back of the TE and meeting the lads for a beer the day was a waste.

Even Dave looking through his Prutton talent specs couldnt rate that useless prick on that display. However, it would be unfair to just name him.

We were gutless, clueless and for the second game on the trot lacking in any will to win at all.

Heard the Wilson Interview as i hit the outskirts of Calne....same old...

"People have an opinion on the display"......No Danny it was SHIT...not an opinion...a FACT.

Mr Fitton saved this club and it looks as if he still has to fight off Diamond Mike but this IS a crisis and if we are not careful we will be dropping back into that pit of shit divvy 2.

Wilson Out!?  I dunno about that but there were a few pissed off people in the TE yesterday calling for his head...not me....BUT....they pay their money and should be able to say what they think....He s living off last year and he could be in trouble soon.

Not going to Rovers, thanks fuck....but the next three games look key for us.

Having seen it a few times Rose trod on the player because he was holding on to him. Stupid from Rose but the ref should have blown up for the foul and booked the Yeovil player for initially taking Rose out on purpose with a high leg and then clearly grabbing him and hanging on to him. If you look the ref didn't even acknowledge there was any foul in the first place, by the fact no advantage was played.

Absolutely Si, that was my view at the time: Rose should have gone for what he did, but the Yeovil player should have been booked and the free kick should have been ours as it was the first offense. Of course, if the referee had been in proper control of the game he'd have blown up immediately and Rose wouldn't have got to the point of stamping.

That was my impression as well.  An impression that was confirmed by the pictures last night.  The referee could have stopped it if he was on top of things but Rose is still a fucking tool.  How many sendings off have we had this seasons.  Far too many I suspect.

5 i think. Prutton twice (vs Plymouth and Franchise), Sheehan against Orient, Douglas against Crawley and now Rose. Bad discipline, but still not as bad as Plymouth's, who have had 9 already this season.

Jon Douglas alluded to this a while back.....

and Cuthbert.

And I should think if we have to chose another captain this season, then he will say exactly the same thing.

Oh yeah, it was Retro day!

I couldnt make up my mind what retro theme the players were?

Beamish - Malpas or McMoan when it went to rat shit!

What have Cuthbert and Dougie said regarding the dressing room??

pleaded for unity.

Sacking Wilson now would be knee-jerk - you have to think he is capable of keeping this team up.  I know its in the past but the achievements of last season demonstrate he is capable of guiding us to success, even if he isn't showing it now.

The Premier League managerial merry-go-round shows that chopping and changing more often that not leads to poor performances.  Manchester United and Arsenal did not become the established clubs they are by looking for a new manager after every poor result.  Give Wilson time, see where we end the season, and then decide on his future.

The sale of Morrison (and ultimately the sale of Austin) will allow Wilson to reinvest.  His signings on the whole have bee decent, even if they are not performing (or not been given the chance to perform) this season.  If we finish the season near the foot of the table, you have to hope he'll ring the changes.

I'm not happy with our inexplicable decline, I just don't see a preferable alternative.

You're not allowed to mention that any more. Bad Walrus :no:

Getting rid of him in November would have been knee jerk. Getting rid of him now isn't. We're playing shite, the players don't give a fuck, a lot of fans have stopped giving a fuck and the manager is offering nothing tangible in respect of turning things around.

There's no doubt in my opinion that he's lost the dressing room and he's losing the fans.

Fitton will probably back him but the other board members could force his hand.

well put sir

 2 weeks back we gave one of our best televised performances ever....been shit since mind, but does provide some tangible evidence of what Wilson can achieve..

But the Charlton game and playing the big boys appear to be the blips rather than the bread and butter games. I was pro Wilson but the Bournemouth game swung it for me.

I believe its what is saving him at the mo.....the odd corking result..

Let's see what Wilson can do in the rest of the window....this season is now a fight to stay in the league, making a change now would be a serious mistake, unless someone is already lined up, we've enough instability with the playing staff.

Not read a single match report. Did I miss much yesterday ? Sounds like we were woeful ?

Was it an all round bad team performance? Any players paticulary bad?

The wind played a big part, very gusty, meant it was never going to be a good game. Took us a long time to get going in the first half. When we did we had the better of it.

Sending off was the major turning point. After that we just could get anywhere near their goal, which resulted in maximum crowd frustration.

I thought Prutton went missing. We lost the battle in midfield. Usually full of praise for Charlie, but he looked unfit yesterday and not that interested, it has a big effect because we are dependent on him. Rose is struggling, every game he plays.

On the plus side I thought Ritchie looked up for it, so no contract hangover from him. Defensively I thought the back 4 looked decent, and I think we would have kept them out if Rose hadnt been sent off. But a 0-0 draw was all we deserved. If we want to be winning games we need the full backs going forward.

How badly does Prutton have to play before Wilson remembers how well Ferry and Douglas played  together last season?

The games Ferry has played, without setting the world alight he was done well in my opinion, considering he hasn't had a run of games this season?

I think he has been very unfairly treated this season, as has Timlin, who hasn't done much wrong when he has played.

I remember the Hartlepool fans saying Wilson has his favourites, and we can all see Prutton is one of them.

Ferry played a big part in us winning that fucking Charlton game. Now he's back on the bench. Have a word Wilson.

I'm glad Rose is out for 3 games. Sheehan brings so much more to the table.

Yep but Wilson cant win really can he....after the fine performance at Charlton he kept an unchanged team v Oldham(a shock to many)...and the performance put in by the players was dire..including Ferry.

Fair point but others like Prutton don't get dropped.

Yesterday was the first time I have put a foot into the Wilson out camp, and knowing that Gary Johnson is currently available makes me jump in with both feet.  As soon as he made the Ritchie sub yesterday that was it for me, I walked out 20 mins before the end knowing we would not get back into the game!

Wilson out, GJ in!

Oh, and heard that Amankwah is talking to Colchester yesterday

I like big Kev, shame he doesn't get a look in anymore.

Yes he is, Going there on loan for a few months.

Yep....Ferry should have been on instead of Timlin without a doubt.

Couldn't agree more, Ferry must have been right pissed off.

31 points out of a possible 90 (including the last 6 games of last season) says it wouldn't be knee jerk. I'm not conviced in the slightest that he is capable of keping the team up, particularly if he's lost the dressing room which is looking more and more like that is the case.

What's the word in Manks, is he fully fit then? I assume Wilson plain doesn't rate him given Derby last year and not featuring this?

but Darby only came in when Kev was injured. He must have at some point rated him enough to go into last season with just Kev and Thompson as our right backs.

I think he just feels he has to play Caddis to prove his worth (same with Pericard and sometimes Prutton to)

I heard Kev has been fit for a little while now.

Think that's a bit harsh on Caddis. From what I've seen he's been playing well last half a dozen games or so, don't think that's where our problems lie.

True enough. Darby held his place when Manks recovered (final excepted). That may have been contractual out of respect to the Scousers I suppose.

Agree with the last point. To be fair I think Caddis is a decent enough player, just a bit lightweight for right back.

I think he's a winger.

Caddis was woefull yesterday....it would suprise me to see him start v Rovers.
The club should come down hard on Rose...the sendings off this season have cost us...in the league and cup......stupid childish challenges them all.

yeah, looked a clear stamp to me (on TV). Fine him.

he stamped on a tv?

He has.  My dad sees him regularly in Nuffield gym and chats to him.  He told him a month or so ago that he was fit, but just not getting picked.  Last week he mentioned that he was hoping someone would come in to take him on loan because he's having a miserable time at present and doesn't see a future under Wilson.  Bloody shame imo.

Yes. There is no place on the pitch for she-males

Yeah, on song he's pretty lethal going forward. Caddis just doesn't link up in the same way - although I feel he's better at attacking with the ball at his feet. Where as Kev overlaps more effectively imo.

If Fitton's hand is forced and DW is fired against his will, would that on top of the Diamandis case going against the club push our chairman over the edge as well?

Be careful what you wish for.

Will be a real shame if Amankwaah leaves - he was superb last season. Hasn't had much of a chance this season but shown glimpses of quality such as against Huddersfield at home, was brilliant in that match.

Easily our best right back, and who does that leave us with? Caddis and Thompson, who seems to have disappeared since the 0-3 Charlton defeat. That leaves Cuthbert as the only other option there, and he hasn't impressed in that position. Cuthbert playing right back would leave us short in centre half unless Wilson does what he should have done in the summer and signs some one.

Caddis is decent going forward but his problem remains that he isn't strong enough defensively. My opinion remains that Celtic shafted us with him.

Kevin Amankwaah is one of several players that Swindon currently have that fans are desperate to see in the team when he's not playing but becomes a bit of a scapegoat when he is in the side.

He's frustratingly inconsistant at times, a bit of a confidence player I would guess.

Could probably do with inconsistant though, compared to consistantly crap.

By all accounts McGovern has been the best part of rubbish this season (and he was woeful yesterday), I can't see the risk in having Amankwaah on the right side of midfield and Caddis RB, or vice versa. Both are pretty good going forward. Seeing that we use Ritchie/Rose for free kicks/corners thesedays I don't see a problem with swapping McGovern for somebody else - even if it is just used to get McGovern to realise he needs to start playing again. We don't have another RM so McGovern's place in the side isn't under threat.*



*Until Wilson signs somebody tomorrow.

RICH IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or even playing Rose/Sheehan on the left of midfield - Ritchie has looked excellent when he's played on the right.

Sssshhhh ;)

I don't get why Wilson hasn't tried Prutton on the right, so Ferry and Douglas can play in the middle. He's played a fair chunk of his career on the right rather than the middle and with McGovern off form at the moment it would be a logical move. Or playing Prutton behind Austin in a 4-4-1-1, as he's decent going forward.

This is one of the many things about Wilson that pisses me off. Obvious tactical and positional options available that he doesn't try yet still throws his hand up in the air saying he doesn't know what to try next to fix things.

I've said this about Prutton before, if you play him on the right which he seemed to do well at Southampton under Strachan then Ferry and Douglas in the middle maybe as a pairing would work a bit better. Prutton on the flanks could also come inside and wonder in unmarked from that position.

Yeovil harried - we didn't
Yeovil got stuck in - we didn't
Yeovil scored - we didn't

There was the odd five minutes or so that we looked very good, but that was it.

The team just don't look connected, nobody seems to know where the next man is and the amount of balls knocked forward that were at least 20 yards from the nearest Town player really frustrated me. Just hope we avoid the drop  :(

** Also saw some youngster wearing a Reading beanie  ???

Morrison?  :sherlock:

Wasn't Ferry injured yesterday, or just back from injury?  This is exactly what Wilson is up against.  We've had some good results this season - the performance against Charlton was epic.  Amankwaah was last seasons scapegoat, this season he's our saviour??  I agree that Caddis, Prutton, Rose and co. have been very average, but I suspect its more of a confidence issue.  I was a bit unsure about the Rose signing, and for me Sheehan should be first choice, but Wilson has his reasons for team selection.  He was berated on here for the Charlton line-up, which goes to show what experts we all are.  I'm not saying I'm a guru either - I have to confess to being close to despair before the game.

Sacking Wilson could throw us into a cycle of doom, see us back in League Two and languishing in mid-table.  Wilson will save us from relegation - I'm confident of a win next week at Rovers after their thrashing at Carlisle.  The fact six months in football meriting a sacking and not being considered knee-jerk is precisely the problem the sport has as a whole.  Who honestly is going to come in and turn this season round with the same squad.  If a new manager was appointed today I'm doubtful he'd have time to make any meaningful signings.  Why is Gary Johnson being banded around so readily?  He achieved where Wilson failed admittedly, but, and I'm loath to say it, the size and stature of the respective clubs isn't comparable.

The alternative may be somewhat disappointing.  We've had a series of poor or disloyal managers - give Wilson time and let him build a dynasty.

That said, we never should have sacked Andy King!   :D



(Just kidding, he was a cunt of sensational proportions).

Harsh on Johnson. Some would argue his greatest achievement wasn't at City, but taking Yeovil from Non-league to League 1
