  FORMER Town star Chris Kamara reckons Charlie Austin might still be a Swindon player had Gordon Greer not been sold to Brighton.

Adver re-hashing the same old shit once again. It's no wonder the club have restricted their access.

 :crash:

Think it's more the other way round Weasel - as the club have restricted access, they can't fill the back page with our usual daily diet of players spouting complacency, so they fall back on "expert comment"

Not replacing Greer with quality was the mistake...last season DW was on the ball with the players he brought in on the back of the cash Cox generated. This season the complete opposite has happened...less than zero quality...so unsurprisingly I suppose we are in the shit. Unfortunately over the years of supporting the Red Army this all has a familar feel about it...we all know Austion wasnt going to stay forever but I dont think its got anything to do with Greer leaving, so not sure waht Kamara is going on about... ???

We had some dross in last season too. Hutchinson being the prime example. We've also had some good players in this season.
I do think that Kamara is right though, Greer was a key loss & thinking that Morrison could do the job.  I do think though that Frampton is up to the job, however he was bought in half a season too late & is injured too much. I also think that if the obvious striker shortgage had been addressed earlier the season would have panned out differently. Six months ago I think we'd have done ok with the strikers we NOW have but again a reliance Pericard & Dossevi has done for us.
Now I am reasonably happy with the players we have, but the mind set is now so different from what it was at the start of the season. The key thing is can the players we now have overcome this & win the next few crucial games. We will see, but to my mind the bringing in of psycologists etc make a lot of sense

This mistake(which was fittons call)is why wilson aint been sacked yet imo.
It's so significant to our season that ftton must feel guilty about it.

I refuse to believe that the absence of one player will make such a difference. We were doing reasonably well before he joined as well.

Eh? We were heading down before Greer joined on loan, he was one of the key players credited with making a difference in keeping us up

Really? Perhaps I have it confused.

I still don't believe a single player will make THIS much of a difference though.

I didn't think it would make this much difference when we sold him in August, I now think I was wrong about that. It's not just Greer, there's more to it than that, but it's a big factor and in hindsight it was a massive mistake as Kamara says

In other news: Hindenburg crashes.

I thought there was at least 100 reasons why Morrison was better than Greer?

Survey says 'X'

Paul should know. He initially joined on loan paid for by the Red Army fund

Greer did, that is, not me. And p2p takes the credit for that!

So, if the RAF hadnt of paid for him we wouldnt have signed him. We'd have signed someone else, stayed up, not done as well last season thus not raising our hopes. Brighton would have never come in for this other centre back he'd still be here and we'd be stuck in mid table rather than getting relegated to League 2.

So, basically its all the RAFs fault!

Can't fault the logic, DV, it's a fair point. Fucking p2p, the bastard!

He's been pretty crap so far. Loves to get dragged out of position towards the midfield. His distribution is dodgy also. I'd let him go when his loan ends. 

I think Greer's loss meant we were going to struggle to come up to play off standard.

But its an over reliance on Charlie Austin that will relegate us.
