He didnt start well at Swindon though did he? Took him a good 3 months to get into it.

He was a liability at Port Vale in november (?), then our best player from christmas to the end of the season.

I remember meeting a Brentford director a month or so after we loaned Fola to them, and asked how he was getting on there. He replied, with a grimace, "You really stitched us up there, didn't you?" (or words to that effect). I took that to mean he hadn't been a smash hit

Was just wondering if any Swindon Fans could tell us anything about Ben Joyce, 19 year old striker you released this summer. He's on trial with us at the moment and scored 2 tonight in the first PSF.

Blair Sturrock looked ok whilst he was here, he was a clever player and had a good all round game, but was never outstanding. His partnership with Tim Sills didn't work as they both have no pace, so I was happy when we didn't go after him permanently.

Albert Jarrett at Barnet.


Torquay   0 - 1   Barnet


Albert Adomah's audacious free-kick and a superb display by keeper Jake Cole earned Barnet victory at Torquay.

Adomah struck in the 27th minute, curling in a free-kick from wide out on the left following a foul by Chris Todd on Albert Jarrett.

Cole kept out winger Mustapha Carayol's shot and made a spectacular stop from Nicky Wroe's goal-bound effort.

The Bees keeper then stopped Carayol's in his tracks before tipping Wroe's 83rd minute 25-yarder on to the post.

Jim Whitley - who had a short loan period with us - has been forced to hang up his boots after a serious knee injury.  Taken up show business and he is now touring the country in a musical "The Rat Pack Vegas Spectacular" where he performs as Sammy Davis Jnr.

100% true http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7255311.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7255311.stm)

Quote
Former Manchester City midfielder Jim Whitley is treading the boards as an all-singing, all-dancing stage star.

A serious knee injury sustained two years ago has halted his footballing career and, although he has not given up hope of playing again, the 32-year-old can currently be seen as Sammy Davis Jr in the tribute act The Rat Pack's Back.

"It's all a bit bizarre," Whitley admitted to BBC Sport.

"My brother-in-law, Dave Simpson, has a play out called Naked Truth and the producer of that show needed someone to play Nat King Cole for a show called Christmas Crooners. I went for an audition and got the part."

Whitley toured Britain and Ireland with Christmas Crooners before being asked to take on the role of Sammy Davis Jr.

"I'm singing and dancing with singers who have sung in the West End and sometimes I wonder what the hell am I doing but I enjoy it," he said.

"I've not been doing it for that long, so at the moment it's still like a hobby and I'm still taking each day as it comes."

Just looking at Woking FC and happened to see that Wayne O'Sullivan was in the Hendon side that lost 5-0 to Woking in the last FA Cup round

"Sam-Yorke had another effort stopped by Reading before lively substitute Wayne O’Sullivan was sent clear for the home side. He managed to round Worner before tumbling over and the referee awarded another penalty, letting Worner off lightly by only booking him. However, O’Sullivan hit the top of the crossbar having sent Worner the wrong way."

He came through our youth team, made 80-90 appearances for us (and then similar amounts for Cardiff and Plymuff) before heading out to Australia and NZ.  He's been back here a couple of years and is obviously winding down

He was quite promising and skilful and already strating to lose his hair on leaving the youth team -  not a MacMahon type if I recall and probably played a little above his ability or confidence level.

I thought he was too Leefer, i knew he was working over there for a while (after playing).

Having checked out the websites for the teams over there though, he's not with them.

And if this is correct seems to show that he is back in the country.

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=5952

It's not completely up to date but other google searches suggest he's moved back to Hendon, this only goes up to 2008.

Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: RedRag on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, 23:02:02
Looks like I've looked at Wiki and Soccernet to verify Wayne was indeed playing for Hendon and added to the sum of S**t on the net...so well checked.

Christy, if your mate is still worried about a problem about a girl, it looks like there might be some more probs in Newcastle, Australia where it appears Wayne is managing in women's soccer in the W-League at a televised level.

"ABC TV Match of the Day: Live ABC1 and ABC HD

Perth Glory v Newcastle Jets, Saturday October 10, 3:00pm (AEDT), Members Equity Stadium

Sparks are sure to fly in Perth on Saturday with the Glory and Jets to go head-to-head in round two.............................In the Newcastle camp, coach Wayne O'Sullivan is bringing in a number of new faces but the side has lost striker Tara Andrews, who is also away on international duty."

I read elsewhere that he had earned a 2 year contract as one of a number of coaches in I believe the A league which was due to expire last May.

Could be more shit reserach but on reflection a bit more plausible than turning up at Hendon as a striker!

Quote
Aberdeen had an afternoon to forget as they crashed 3-0 to Celtic at Parkhead and for the third straight away game they had a player red carded. The culprit this week was Jerald Ifil for a lunge at Samaras that was missed by the referee, but spotted by his assistant.

From their official site in case anyone was wondering. I think Jerald must be his brother!

Shame Migz was so injury prone -

He signed for Swindon Town of the English Division Two in July 2002, after a successful trial spell earned him a contract. He appeared in 126 league games including playoffs (136 in all competitions), with Swindon Town in four seasons with the club. Miglioranzi scored nine career goals for the club before heading to the Galaxy in the summer of 2006. 1999-2002: Miglioranzi signed with Portsmouth of English Division One and spent three seasons at Fratton Park. He appeared in just 25 games during an injury-plagued tenure with the club, scoring twice. Prior to signing with Portsmouth, Miglioranzi had a three-month trial with Everton of the English Premier League

Pook has found his level at a poor League Two club. It can be argued that his best season at Swindon was in the 4th Division.

However, it's March and this is pretty much the first time this season that Pook has done anything of note despite playing a decent amound of games.

Craig Easton was and still is a better player than Michael Pook.

In delightfully random news, Matt Hewlett came into my work today to talk to my boss, who's a Bristol City fan. After he left, I asked my boss why he was there and apparently he now runs a Sandwich store and delivery service in Bristol with his brother.

I told my boss the story about him leaving, but couldn't remember which way round the alleged issue between Gurney and Hewlett was- am I correct in thinking it was the way round you wouldn't expect? He (boss, not Hewlett) found it hilarious in any case.

I've never understood why Jerel's managers haven't had one member of the midfield whose job was specifically to go and get the ball from him.

Something along the lines of "right Dave, under no circumstances allow Jerel to play the ball more than 4 feet."

You've go to wonder what goes through his mind just before one of his punts "this has never worked before, but what the hell!"

He turned down a contract with Walsall as it was only a year to go on trial at a SPL side but didnt get taken on.

On the 7th July 2009 Walsall manager Chris Hutchings revealed that Zaaboub had left the club. Hutchings told the official website: ""I received a phone call late on Wednesday from Sofiene informing me that another club wanted to take him on a three-day trial. He was told that if he did not report for training as agreed his contract offer would be taken away as I only want people here who are committed to the club." 

The rest is history, as is Zaaboub's football career.

He didn't consistently produce did he. The game that stands out for me was Cheltnum away, I think it was our 1st away game the season after promotion, the Town fans were boisterous (still celebrating re-joining lge 1) & Sofi was really turning it on. I remember we were saying on the way out of that game that we'd never keep hold of him if he kept that form up. He didn't.

A bit off topic, but I think the way Sam's career has panned out is a real shame.  The player we saw had so much potential, he exuded class beyond his years and the level he was playing at.  I think early injury problems at Ipswich really ruined a great opportunity for him, and perhaps he has never really recovered from that.

I think for me I will always remember the Parkin era. He was one of very few players that actually gave a shit about this club during some dark days under the old ownership. We weren't really very successful at all (except the play-off season in 2004) but he stuck with us for 3 years and kept banging in the goals. His attitude was top notch. I'm sure he'll get a superb reception today but let's hope he doesn't fucking score.

For Parkin to hang around at STFC for 3 seasons, and bang in over 20 goals every season when the Club was in the state that it was in....

Until the current team started to get together over the last year and a bit (& Cox last season), Parkin stood out absolutely head & shoulders on his own when you look at the last decade or so. Not one single other player in a Town shirt has come even close to being called anything like memorable in a long long time. What Mooney did for that 1 season was (in my mind) completely nullified by his next 'career' decision. Some people say that Invincibile is a legend for THAT goal vs Peterborough, but he was an inconsistent, lazy fucking crim most of the time, and judging by what I saw on tv the other day (Kilmarnock/Aberdeen) he hasn't changed one bit.

Parkin gave us 1 thing to smile about - for a significant amount of time - during some grim ol' days.

Yeh it's the sequence of injuries that have done for the poor sod. Ipswich's home fans thought he was a joke before he broke his ankle, but he'd had a decent start overall because but he'd banged in a few goals away from home. Without that terrible injury there's nothing to suggest that he wouldn't have been a hero for Ipswich & gone on from there - guess we'll never know for sure.

Gutted for him.

Whoops...thought he was right back...but then there's Caddis.  He seesm to have dropped out of the reckoning at Celtic again since lennon took over.  Not trying to undermine Manks who has had an excellent season by all accounts...but two decent right backs (including caddis who is flexible I think) would be good for the championship.

Personally I think it is about time that Don was give some sort of official regcognition for what he done for the town all those years ago, his commitment to youth football now and to the town with business that he runs in the town.

I wonder if Sam could cut it as a coach with particular responsibility for strikers? If so, would STFC be interested? Might be a good appointment for PR as well as keeping all the "Bring back Sam'ers" happy, always providing that he was primarily useful as part of the coaching team.

It's certainly the only ground where I've seen the Town players given a guard of honour by our opposing team. It was the next game after we'd sealed the 85-86 Div 4 title at Mansfield..........just looked that game up out of interest, and I note that Bobby Barnes and Gary Johnson were in the Aldershot team that night.

True - but I've always felt that the right attitude or work-rate shouldn't really be used as an attribute - it should be the bare minimum, a "given" as it were.  To me its just professionalism - trying your best to do your job to the best of your abilities.

Quite a few players seem to get by on this for a while.  Believe me, put me in a town shirt and my attitude and work rate will be fucking brilliant.  You won't like me though, because I'm shit at football.

It may seem like a bare minimum to you and i, but the fact that we're debating whether or not it is a good attribute to have in a player means it isn't always there. I bet I can list as many talented players who haven't "made it" as you can list shit players with a decent attitude that have.

Matthew "Monster" Heywood has signed a one year deal with Barrow.

http://www.barrowafc.com/newsite/club/news.php?article=614

Monster? The only thing monster about him is his man boobs. No doubt his pal Robin Hulbert had something to with this. I hated Matt Heywood...probably because he started on me in the Casbah for no reason once.

Once he gets a football brain he will probably be a class player.  Unfortunately we got sent a couple of good young prospects last year who had power, pace and a certain amount of skill yet need to be sharpened up in terms of footballing brain.

Now thats fine for a team in mid table safety but not for a team who were pushing for promotion.

Think if he'd had got a goal for us early on he might have done ok, as it was he didn't and his confidence was shot. If he get's one there early I reckon he might do ok. If not Blackpool beach beckons. 3 shit loan spells is probably too much for anyone.

Macclesfield needed a bizarre stroke of luck in a penalty shoot-out to beat Southend and progress in the FA Cup.
Nat Brown's decisive penalty appeared to be saved by Glenn Morris, but as the keeper celebrated the ball spun into the net to hand the Silkmen victory.

Would like to see a video of Swindon reserves' spectacular FA Cup replay exit last night! (Barry Corr scored two then missed a penalty in the shootout.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/9191284.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/9191284.stm)

I was wondering the other day how their fans have responded to some of our ex-players. I imagine Easton will be liked and Zaaboub will be frustrating but I do wonder whether they think Corr is any good (because I know someone on here was adamant he was the second coming) and whether they like Sturrock's style of play and family favouritism.

I was right behind the fans who supposedly told him they were going to burn his house down and it simply didn't happen. It was a classic case of make the aggressor the victim - pure PR. He got pissy when people sang "where's our captain gone" and gave out loads and then received a load back.
I do hold a grudge against him and Heywood for 'Nam but I genuinely believe he was generally a useless cunt for us. The most positionally inept player I've seen in a red shirt, althuogh either Rose or O'Brien could give him a run for his money.

Someone still holds a grudge from Cheltenham don't they.

Gurney was a lot better for Town (aside from being a cunt) than many other players we have had.

For example, I give you...................... David Peach

Lost 7-0 nil on debut for Saints at Ipswich.....while his debut for Town resulted in a 6-2 reverse at Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilwall :eek:

Who remembers Leigh Mills? He didnt actually ever play for Swindon but was a player here...He started his career as a youth team player at Swindon Town but was signed by Tottenham Hotspur as a 16-year-old in 2004 before he had made a single league appearance for the Robins.[1]

Mills joined Brentford in a season-long loan deal on 17 June 2008.[2] However on 8 August he was recalled by Tottenham and joined Gillingham on loan, subsequently extended from one month to five. [3][4][5] Mills made his Gillingham and professional debut in a 1-0 home defeat against Luton Town on 16 August. [6], the loan ended on 1st January, 2009. Then in February Mills was released from his contract.[7]

In mid 2007 Leigh married and decided to retire from professional football much later in 2009.

In July 2010, Mills signed for his hometown club Winchester City on a free transfer.[

I honestly believe Marshall would have played more for us if - when playing for the reserves he wasnt so greedy.

Every game I watched, he'd tear the full back apart - turn him inside out about 37 times, get towards the byline - Town players filling the box.

Cut inside and shot.

No matter which side, he'd do that - very rarely would be actually cross it and as you can imagine the number of times he put in the top corner compare to the times to put it wide or over or straight at the defender or straight at the keeper isnt favorable.

He probably would have set up about 20 more goals if he wasnt greedy and I expect that would have got noticed by management - instead they noticed he was greedy and had a crap shot on him.

Maybe he thought that was the way to impress trying to score, it wasnt.

I'm amazed how well he did at Killie, and I have to say it says more about the quality of the SPL (League 1 apart from Rangers and Celtic).

I think the lower league game has moved on a bit in the last 10 years and players are expected to be a lot more skillful.

On the flip side, they are also a lot less determined and far far more mentally fragile than 10 years ago.

Velicka was good at Hearts, good enough for Rangers to sign him. Picked up a few injuries but I wouldn't be unhappy if we were to sign him from what I saw from him at Tynecastle.

News of the Chippenham Goal Machine

Quote
BBC Sport's David Dulin reports: "As if the blow of losing manager Dean Holdsworth to Aldershot wasn't big enough for Newport County fans, things have just got worse as top scorer Craig Reid has left for League Two side Stevenage. The deal is a "club record" for Stevenage - but undisclosed - includes strike duo Charlie Griffin and Yemi Obubade going in the opposite direction."

Bath City striker Kaid Mohamed may have played his last game for the club after he refused to sit on the bench during the 2-1 win over Grimsby on Saturday.

The 26-year-old, who is the club's joint leading scorer this season, recently rejected a new contract.

"When I named the side he was not in it. He was upset and said he wanted no part in the game," manager Adie Britton told the Non-League Paper.

"He's made it clear he wants to go back to full-time football."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee/9433951.stm

Dundee have rejected allegations they are exploiting a loophole in the rules to play trialists from the junior ranks while banned from signing new players.

Jake Hyde scored the equaliser against Dunfermline on Tuesday having just signed for Lochee United.

Dundee chief executive Harry MacLean told BBC Scotland: "It is quite simple.

"You can play two trialists in any game and they can play a maximum of three and, if it comes from the juniors, it comes from the juniors."

Dunfermline manager Jim McIntyre was unwilling to criticise his side's Division One opponents, while Scottish Football League sources stress that Dundee have done nothing wrong according to the rules.

But some at the Fife club are thought to be unhappy after 20-year-old striker Hyde's goal denied them a victory that would have taken the Pars above leaders Raith Rovers on goal difference at the top of the table.

Hyde, who started his career with Swindon Town and had a spell with Barnet before being released by Conference National club Hayes & Yeading United, has been in the city for five weeks but only just received international clearance to sign for Lochee.
   
We are struggling to put a team out and the manager has to do what he can

Dundee chief executive Harry MacLean

Dundee, who are not allowed to sign new players while they remain in administration, have also fielded defender Craig Robertson as a trialist from the East Superleague outfit during their 22-game unbeaten run.

"I don't think it is sudden," said MacLean about Hyde's appearance after joining Lochee while pointing out that trialists must be registered in Scotland as cross-border moves are not permitted.

"I don't know particularly Jake's background.

"Obviously, he is a signed Lochee United player, but if their manager Paul Ritchie wants to use him in the future, I am sure he will.

"The situation is that he is a junior player and his registration is held in Scotland and what we need then is a letter from his junior club to say he can play for us.

"We are not going to gain any massive advantage out of that because Jake, as far as I am aware, didn't have a club for a period of months and the lad's trying to get a career on track and how he does that is his business.

"But we are struggling to put a team out and the manager has to do what he can."

A 25-point penalty means Dundee are eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot instead of leading Division One by five and the use of trialists will not be permitted for any club beyond the end of March.

And MacLean suggested that Dundee's use of trialists - retired former Scotland winger Neil McCann and ex-Dunfermline striker Graham Bayne have also guested - was to the benefit of the other Division One clubs.

"One of the major things we were punished for was bringing the integrity of the league into question and I would suggest that, if we played what we would call a first 11 in some games and weren't able to do that in others, that would affect things like promotion slots, relegation and different positions in the league," he said.

"We've played Falkirk and Dunfermline in the last couple games and we've managed to put out a good team and get a performance.

"In a couple of weeks time, we will not be able to play trialists and will play Raith Rovers and so if you kick in with injuries and suspensions, we may well be playing a team that looks considerably weaker on paper.

"How would Dunfermline feel about that? They are probably not very excited.

"The thing now for us is that we are trying to avoid relegation, but we've also got a duty to the others teams to put out as best a team we can possibly do.

"If that means playing trialists, it means playing trialists, we make no apology for that."

I did my coaching badge with Wiggy Hamblin, good lad.

Kilmarnock manager Mixu Paatelainen is on the shortlist for the vacant manager's job at Scunthorpe United.

Paatelainen is one of four candidates the Championship club are considering to succeed the sacked Ian Baraclough.

Killie chairman Michael Johnston has given Scunthorpe permission to speak to Paatelainen and his representatives.

Others in contention are former Swindon manager Danny Wilson, ex-Charlton boss Phil Parkinson and the current Bury boss Alan Knill.

The Killie chairman is currently abroad on holiday but he is determined to pull out all the stops to keep Paatelainen at the Scottish Premier League club.

What the hell has happened to Matt Heywood?

Released by Barrow and now playing for Buxton - at the age of 31.  He was made captain at Grimsby a couple of seasons back but he seems to have dropped to the depths since being released for shocking form.

He was never the greatest player but he was a solid league one defender that could turn in a few decent performances.  At 31 he should still be doing the business and he doesn’t appear to have to many injury problems, shitty aside.

There's no place for him at Leeds this season, he should've got stuck in at Swindon. Hart's been blamed for this but I am still more disappointed by Grella's bail-out than the decision to stick him on the bench for a game.

I was at London Road on Saturday and took a keen interest in Rory Fallon. For the first 15 minutes he looked like a poor Vincent Pericard, not jumping for headers etc. For the remaining 75 minutes he was excellent (I assume Peter Reid gave him a rocket), intelligent use of the ball (the fact Plymouth's midfield looked decent may have helped) and good in the air. He never had any clear cut chances but playing up front on his own with Bolassie just off him seemed to work.

Joe Mason came on for 5 minutes and wasn't on long enough for me to form an opinion.

From the BBC site :

West Brom goal: Now, there have been some cracking goals already today but I would watch Match of the Day tonight for this strike alone. Simon Cox, who had come off the bench for the Baggies, has nothing on when he collects the ball on the left-hand corner of the Spurs area... so he decides to go for goal, curling an a pearler of a shot past the diving Heurelho Gomes and just inside the far post. Superb.


Wonder if it's as good as his goal against Walsall...

Simon Cox, who had come off the bench for the Baggies, has nothing on when he collects the ball on the left-hand corner of the Spurs area... so he decides to go for goal, curling an a pearler of a shot past the diving Heurelho Gomes and just inside the far post. Superb.


Wonder if it's as good as his goal against Walsall...

More importantly, why was he allowed to play naked?

Played under Buckle at Torquay, I had the pleasure of watching him play 4 or 5 times for our stiffs, got pace and a little control but no final ball at all, a bit like Macklin.

Day off for Independence day in the U.S so sat watching England playing Germany in U17 WC Quarter Finals. Alex Henshall is playing- not up to much but it's hard to play when you can't get the ball off the other team often and then when you do you smash it up to the CF.

Two nil down after twenty minutes and the difference in technical ability is quite obvious.

From centre half to goal scoring winger. Mental. Wasn't he the one that Dave Burne referred to as playing like he's just eaten raw meat or something?

I recall a couple of the write ups from his reserve exploits and remember that they had to "calm him down" a bit.  Shame he never got a chance as he had that raw potential but has never managed to harness it.

Not as far as I'm aware, we looked at signing him on loan again but he had half the Championship after him. Then tried again in January but he picked Huddersfield instead.

There was never any mention of a bid being made by Swindon.

Unwanted at St Johnstone, Parkin took the initiative and decide to ring Paolo Di Canio personally, expressing his desire to play for Swindon and that he is determined to be a hero once more. Paolo was impressed by this and has decided to offer Parkin a week long trial when the squad return from Italy. These revelations will be revealed by the swindon advertiser later this week.

Judging purely on the list of players they've signed, I'm expecting them to be right up there this season. Obviously you never know if the players will gel and be cohesive, but it tonight suggests they're heading in the right direction.

McNamee released from Norwich..

Quote
It is understood the system of play Lambert is looking to adopt in the top flight this term will not suit McNamee, so the Norwich boss will not stand in the wide-man's way.

A host of Championship clubs are thought to be interested in McNamee, who has scored once in 37 appearances during his time at Norwich.

Living of past reputation.

Did you know David Prutton played for England Under 21s and once cost 2.5m
Did you know Jonathan Douglas played in the Premier League for Blackburn, played for Leeds and was capped by ROI
Did you know Michael Rose was part of the Norwich side that won L1
Did you know Jon-Paul McGovern topped the L1 assists chart in 2010


Managers will see stuff like that on players CVs and think, well ok it didnt work out last season but I might be able to get the best out of them.

The same way our fans liked the idea of George Burley as our a manager - because he won manager of the year in 2001 - done fuck all else since and will live off that in every single job interview for the rest of his life. Chairmen will be taken in by it.

In a way why I am much happier with the players and manager we have, very few have a previous reputation in England or in Management - so they have to make their reputation - which will either see their career flourish or end quicker than Thomas Dossevi's time in England.

Pook released by CTFC.

In a seperate article from 4 months ago...

"Talking about his decision to make Pook available for transfer despite him having a year left on his contract, Yates said: "Michael has not been anywhere near what I expected from him this season.

"He is not being singled out for criticism but he hasn't performed to the standard that I expected from him as a captain.

"If I can get what I want in the summer then Michael will only be on the edge of the team and he's on too much money and too good a player not to be featuring."

But Yates said there could be a chance for Pook to stay if his form improved.

"There is every chance that Michael could still be here next season," he added.

"He knows where I am coming from and, if it serves as a little rocket to get him going next season, then we'll have a better player on our hands than this year."

Can't judge Flint on 5 games. But the signs are encouraging. He has put in 5 very good back-to-back performances. Something Morrison didn't manage with us.

Has to be remembered Morrison is a year and a half younger and has played at a higher level though :)

Having said that they have a fucking tremendous structure around the club.  The hotel owned by the same company brought in over 3 million in revenue in 10/11 not sure what the operating profit was but they have some seemingly impressive figures in their published accounts.

The hotel is a Hilton so I wonder if the profit from that revenue is shared between the club and Hilton if so then it might not be that much of a money maker at the moment, but a good source of income none the less.

The company which owns Franchise have lost quite a bit of money over the last few years which has resulted in them having to cut the footballing wage bill and take short term loans.

That should set alarm bells ringing for him. His loan history is one of decreasing quality. Good players start low and end up with cameos in the first team after eye opening loans in the Championship. Maybe if he bothered to put in some effort now, he might make it while he's still young and able to affect his future.

From the BBC Sport Website:
Quote
This almost seems reasonable after what else has happened tonight. Kettering strikers Moses Ashikodi and Jean-Paul Marna were sent-off for fighting each other tonight as Hayes & Yeading won an eight-goal thriller in the Blue Square Bet Premier. Ashikodi insisted in taking on a penalty but it was saved. Marna scored from the resulting corner, and back in the centre-circle they started punching each other. Brilliant

A couple of Leeds fans quotes, " he is the worst player in the league " another says, " I feel sorry for whoever takes him " it's strange though as both agree that there should be a clause to not let him play against Leeds as he would probably get a couple of goals.

INTRO:Malta fires national coach John Buttigieg following weak Euro 2012 campaign

                 
VALLETTA, Malta (AP)  The Malta Football Association has fired national coach John Buttigieg after his team picked up only one point in its Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
                 
Malta's FA said Wednesday that Buttigieg's assistant Carmel Busuttil was also sacked.
                 
Both were part way through five-year contracts that started in July 2009.
                 
Under Buttigieg, Malta won just two of the 21 games it played  both friendly matches. The country's only point in Euro 2012 qualifying came from a home draw against Georgia in Group F.

Was bored so checking up on some players form while out on loan from us.

Will Evans 3 games and 1 sub at Hereford, Elliot Benyon 3 games and 7 sub with 1 goal for Wycombe, Billy Bodin 8 games 1 sub and 2 goals for Torquay and Leon Clark 9 games and 7 goals.

Evans and Benyon loans seem to be a bit pointless as they arent getting many games, I guess if their wages are being covered it helps.

Bodin seems to be doing ok if not that great at Torquay but I cant see him being around next season with us.

Clarke has done really well, much as I despise him, hes on a 3 month loan at Chesterfield according to the Spireites website so that will finish on the 9th December. The question is will we be able to sell him for money in the transfer window as I doubt very much that he will ever play for us again, even though he seems to be exactly what we are missing up front this season, or will we loan him out again and then try and sell him at the end of the season?

Was just wondering really, shame he was such an arrogant ignorant twat after the Saints game.

If he carries on scoring at that rate then surely someone will take a gamble on signing him permanently in January? 7 in 9 games is a cracking return, I also doubt that Chesterfield will be ble to afford him or his wages though.

Someone was saying earlier they've not even seen him at the club at all the last couple of weeks!!

He was at the open day training with the rest of the team on Monday

Adi was one of the first, if not the first, Town sub who was himself subbed. Came on, I think for his debut, in midfield and was out of his depth there. So got subbed. That must have been shattering for a young player, but fair play to him he went on to have a very decent career.

I see the Mighty Quinn has led FA Cup virgins Nantwich Town into the 1st round, away to Franchise.

I really felt for Viveash when that happened, he did look totally out of his depth though. Might be memory playing tricks on me but I think the same happened to Ty Gooden, correct me if I'm wrong statto's as It's highly probable i had been in the pub for several hours before.

the better he does at Torquay, the more chance Paolo will want to keep him I reckon! (sounds an obvious one when i read it back!)

Interesting to see that he's doing so well for them on the left wing. I think it's unfair to judge young Billy on the three starts he had up front at the start of this season because he's clearly got more about him out wide - Martin Ling must think so anyway!

Laughably allowed himself to be dispossessed and then brushed aside as he tried to recover for goal no. 7

Prem clubs indiscriminately hoover the bottom of the sea like a Spanish trawler and then spit out nearly all the catch (apologies to Cantona for that one).  How often do the young players come out better players for having had their heads very understandably turned so young?

Ask Alex Ferguson about Ralph Milne.......

All players are a risk. You can't always blame the manager. Personally I thought Kingy did a good job considering what he had to put up with - quite possibly the worst period in the club's history in terms of financial problems and boardroom intrigue.

The Andy King 'era' was very up and down, I think we're all agreed about that.

But...

2000-2005 was a very difficult period for the club off the pitch. So the fact that we finished 20th (00/01), 13th (01/02), 10th (02/03), 5th (03/04) and 12th (04/05) was a minor miracle. This is my view on the subject anyway.

Think my views are clouded by the fact that I started going on my own (aged 12) in 2000... and you tend to be less cynical when you're young! I just bloody loved going to football with my friends - even if it was Cambridge at home on a tuesday night in front of 3,800! Funny to think that we got more for the AFC wimbledon JPT game the other week.

Maybe my memory is going but the BBC and Sturrocks account of his time here seems a bit warped. Seems to suggest we were fucked and saved by the miraculous turn around instigated by him;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15896377.stm
As I remember it he came in when we were flying high at the top of League 2. He fucked us up by leaving though......

Good lower league manager though. Can't deny him that.

King was ok yes it didn't go right and he punched above his weight but he always done his best for us and was not one of these that was looking towards their next job, he has recommended players to the club since he has left also and I believe we have signed 1 or 2 of them.

I've also spoken to him since he left the club and he has only ever had good things to say about stfc...

I for one would welcome him back in the opposing dugout and would not boo him.

King is easily the best manager we've had this millennium. I suppose Wilson made one stage further in the play-off stakes, but under much better circumstances.

Taking into account boards and finances, with bonus points for cigars. King is our 4th best manager of all time.

Who the fuck would have wanted him? Did he have any other offers? We only took him back on after Todd because we couldn't afford the tribunal case - which to be fair he would have won hands down. He was a cunt who may be loyal to some but was an egotistical shitstain to others. I believe Tom Jones' son speaks highly of him. I think anyone who went to the Trust gathering at the GW Bar would see how far up his own ringpiece he was.

Andy King built a decent team for peanuts, which played fairly attractive, effective football. He was also good value in an interview. When things weren't going well, however, he openly turned on some players and fans in public (even if they deserved it!), which was a bit off.

Kingy gave us our best season in recent years imo. The Parkin-Mooney play off year was one of the best imo and hasn't been bettered since. We ad some cracking players then and the team was a joy to watch at times.
He was also still some player in training and put alot of the players to shame. A rude,arrogant twat and not friendly with supporters so i understand the dislike of the bloke,but boy could he spot a player.

Didn't King come back after Evans left because we couldn't agree a settlement with him so just took him back as our manager as he was still on the payroll? Wouldn't put it past our board at the time. Also wasn't King linked with the Pompey job after Harry Redknapp left the first time?

I enjoyed the Kingy era to be honest. The free tickets that were dished out at some away games were a really nice touch in darker times. Like a fair few, I probably fealt closer to the club then than I have since. The fans also had a bit more unity for me, none of this niggling at each other on the terraces, good times fan wise.

Jerel had all the right attributes in terms of strength and pace and had enough technical ability (except being able to pass) but far too often his performances relied on being partnered with someone more experienced who could essentially hold his hand.

I thought he was excellent in our last League 2 campaign.

My abiding memories of Sol Davis in a Swindon shirt would be when he went through Rodney Jack like a train during the 99/00 season against Crewe. It was a fantastically horrendous tackle right below the Nationwide stand which ended up in Sol being sent off.

Secondly was a match against Bristol City at the CG when he karate kicked Scott Murray in the head then went down rolling on the ground acting injured to spare getting sent off. I believe he only got a yellow card.

Does it say something when my memories of Sol Davis appear to be violent tackles?

I do hope we have a large sell on clause in that transfer. If Austin does continue to score goals at this rate he will be worth more than Maynard at shitty who is currently valued at over £6 million, I think Austin is a better goal getter than him.

If we have a 25% profit sell on clause (pretty standard kind of clause) and he is sold for £6 mill then that will equate to about £1 million in our pocket.....nice!

Big rumour going around the club that he hasn't played the last two games for Barnet because he has been sacked by the club for failing a drugs test. There is a statement due to come from the club tomorrow or tuesday on the matter.

Will be a shame for his fledging career, was on course to sign for a championship club this month. This will mean he won't play again for the rest of this season and his contract expires at the end of the season so it makes sense to sack him now without compensation. Gutting when we could of got a sizeable fee for him.

Not an ex player, but saw Phil Smith this morning taking his son to pre-school which is next to my son's primary school.  As we walked past, my son recognised him and loudly said 'There's Phil Smith'  and  I said 'Yes it is'.  He obviously heard and gave us a smile, whilst my son started a discussion about why he no longer plays anymore and that Wes Foderingham is better! I hope we were far enough away at that point for him not to hear that part of the conversation!

Suffice it to say, he never made it at Villa  :)

Clever lad. There can't be many 26 year old scouts knocking about. If he doesn't make it back on the pitch, the experience could set him up nicely for a backroom career.

Remember him being crucial against Cheltenham, Huddersfield and also Port Vale when we dicked them 6-0. He was figured out big time in 08/09 and got too big for his boots. a talented player though, no doubt. Don't think I've seen a player wow the CG so much as he did towards the end of 07/08... Except maybe Cox.

 When we beat Soton in 09/10, in August Wee Macca, caused them all sorts of problems, it was only 1-0, but could have been a few more apart from a great display of goalkeeping by Kelvin Davis.

Methylhexaneamine is on the banned list and is considered performance enhancing.

Did he mean to take it, what were the levels, etc? Who knows.

Must be a nightmare trying to avoid everything on the banned list. Problem with this particular substance is that it seems to be present in many nutritional supplement products.

But I suppose they have to have zero tolerance or the system fails.

Quote from: Scott Cuthbert: Orient Player of the Year
I'm settled here and loving life in London and hopefully my performances will show that and I can get a contract extension and stay for longer. It's been different class and a breath of fresh air to be honest to go from the likes of Swindon, where I wasn't doing so good, to Leyton Orient and to get the fans appreciating my performances and winning the award is really nice.

We should all be ashamed of ourselves.

Sounds like getting on his back when he returns to the CG next season should be easy enough  :girlgiggle:

That hattrick was scored in 10 minutes I think. Strange how some really good players just seem to get forgotten.

Exactly. As fans we always see transfers as black and white based on league tables. Footballers are people - family reasons, longer contracts, security, wanting to relocate - these things matter in footballers as much as they do to the rest of us.

Agreed, but will forever remember his equaliser at West Brom in the '3rd leg' of the League Cup semi. Not a header though. How's about Morris Owen though for heading ability? Too young (!) to see him as a striker, but he was a classic centre half in those days (v early '60s) - bald headed, hard as nails, took no prisoners.

As for Pat Terry - another hero. Being ex Millwall a lot of the lads who came to live in Swindon from the Old Kent Road, New Cross, Deptford etc suddenly had a link with the club, whereupon they became CG regulars. Just looked at the stats, Pat had a great goalscoring record. Worth today? Several million I reckon.

Maurice , was a Chindit during the war, so fought in the Burmese jungle against the Honda owners...so it was probably dishonourable to be taken prisoner..

However, he was a proper role model and gentleman in every way...

Of players of recentish vintage, who could come close to the likes of Maurice, Pat Terry, Noble and OST in aerial ability I'd offer Tommy Mooney.

He's kind of entered STFC demonology, but did give us a season of proper footballer, which will do for me

Not sure of my facts here...suggest Pat Terry scored more goals with his head than with his feet.

He was signed from Reading and became a firm favourite with me..possibly the main reason was that he travelled to Saturday home fixtures on the 12.40 train leaving Didcot for Swindon. Think he told my dad that he lived in Brentford or Hendon.

That was over 40 years ago....fuck, I must have a sad life to remember such crap  !!!!

If anything that just shows we've got little to worry about this season.


I think that is a bit harsh.  Both players were great for us upto the last season.  Douglas was the best all round central midfielder I have seen here for a while and Cuthbert was a strong defender who was being hailed as our next million pound plus defender to be leaving in the future.

It is easy to forget how good these players were because they were all poo for the last season.  Maybe that wasn't all their fault and there were problems within the club that we weren't privvy to.  It doesn't mean that people shouldn't dislike them because of what we witnessed, but to assume that we have nothing to worry about because we are basing it on their final year performance with us is a mistake IMO.  We do not have a better midfielder at the club at the moment than Douglas IMO.  Michael Rose is just poo full stop.

J P McGovern has gone to Rotherham so he is now playing at a lower level to us.

Edit:  After reading JJ's post in another thread this might not be true now.

Douglas is and was brilliant. He'd sometimes just control the game from in front of the centre-backs Scholes style, was a joy too watch at times. Would have him back in an instant, was gutted to lose him last season despite the debacle of the Leeds brigade ect.

Douglas in 09/10 put in the best season from a CM we have had for many years.  Ferry was very good but that was in part down to Dougie putting in a shift every game that allowed Ferry a bit more freedom.

I'd have Dougie back in a heartbeat based on the fact he got a POTY last season for a decent league 1 team

Douglas made Ferry a better player too, they worked well together.  Ferry has never played as well for us as he did that season, and a lot of that was down to Douglas.

Douglas was probably the best midfielder we have had since the Moncur/Hazard days.

I know the purpose of the thread is to put out rumours to be riddiculed, but firstly how do you know about Millwall's pay structure or what Cox earns. I appreciate as an educated guess you would say that a prem reserve striker would be on more than a first team championship player.

Phil Smith played the second half in goal for Southend against West Ham the other night;

http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/9818002.Southend_United_0__West_Ham_United_3/

The goalkeeper in the first half was another triallist, Rhys Taylor, who looked terrible against us for Rotherham at the Don Valley Stadium last season.

Think that's correct...he came in on loan when Brez, got injured, Wise had done a runner, and Adi Williams took over as caretaker.  Williams clearly didn't fancy Phil Smith much, so got in Lonergan....his performance v Hereford wasn't great, but neither was it terrible...think Andy Willams was the chief beneficiary for them.

Still, in the same way as many can judge a player like Oliver Risser as shit after 5 mins and get on his back....many of our fans can judge a keeper as shit on one loan appearence, during an unsettled period for the club.

Indeed, another example of that is Tony Warner who joined us from Liverpool back in 97 and was attrocious for us but has since gone on to make a good career in football with many clubs such as Millwall, Cardiff and Fulham and is now on trial at Carlisle and also has been capped by Trinidad.

He was utterly dreadful for us on loan though in the 2 games he played.

Tony Warner played twice for Swindon. One clean sheet (which I recalls as being a decent enough display) and one where he didn't have a good day at Stockport.

I think 'atrocious' is harsh as he was probably only in as cover.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 16:49:13
You don't remember the home game that well then?

He was flapping at everything that day and didn't even catch the ball once. If you go to the swindon-town-fc.co.uk and watch the video of the game there are a few missed punches on there that show you how bad he was but trust me he was awful. He was even worse in the away game when he let in 4 soft goals and didn't make contact with the ball only to pick it out of the net, probably along with Alistair Sperring the worst keeper I have ever seen in a Swindon shirt.

About 3 minutes 40 seconds in, and that was basically the only time he got anywhere near the ball...yet still missed it.

Muckmarn signed him with a view to a permanant deal as he was unwanted at Liverpool.

Classic stuff in there, who could forget Lord Lucan's 60 yard hoof to Steve Cowe...the somewhat muted booing of Wanker John, and the slightly better grade of football being played than some of the shit we've watched in recent years.

I don't know if you need a strong physical fitness in that league or whether you can let your football brain do the work.

It just seems pretty unusual at that level to have such an aged (in relation to others) team rather than having younger players. We only had a couple of experienced (29+) players last season but had a good balance of youth and experience in the end.

Billy Paynter today to sign for Donny Rovers after Blackpool sent him back to Lids after a trial.

Quote
Billy Paynter is expected to complete a transfer to Doncaster Rovers on Monday, bringing to an end his torrid spell at Leeds.

Following the sale of Jermaine Beckford, Paynter arrived at Elland Road in 2010 and the pressure to succeed was high. The Liverpool-born striker was handed the number 9 shirt by then manager Simon Grayson who was expecting big things from the only player who had out-scored Beckford the season previous in League One.

Unfortunately, things never worked out for Paynter and he quickly became a target for ridicule amongst the Elland Road faithful who dubbed him “Barndoor” Billy due to his wayward shooting and subsequently poor goal return.

In many ways, Billy Paynter represents everything that went wrong with Simon Grayson’s Leeds United. When The Whites lost key players, very little money – often none at all – was made available for their replacements, leaving Simon Grayson forced to fill the gaps with free transfers and loanees. The result was invariably a drop in quality.

When Paynter’s transfer is completed on Monday, Neil Warnock will have successfully removed two high-earning players from the Elland Road wage bill in less than a week, which should hopefully free up funds for the “icing on the cake” signings the manager has been promising.

Latest team to be linked with Simon Cox is now Nottm Forest.

http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Nottingham-Forest-race-sign-Simon-Cox-West-Brom/story-16660970-detail/story.html

Quote
NOTTINGHAM Forest have joined the race to sign West Brom striker Simon Cox.

The Reds are understood to have agreed a fee for the player with the Premier League club and held early talks with his representatives last night.

A three-year contract is on the table for the former Swindon Town player, who cost £1.5m when he signed in 2009. But there are still as many as five other clubs vying for his signature, including Scottish giants Celtic and newly relegated Blackburn.

Both clubs are understood to have had £2m offers rejected over the weekend and Forest are believed to be the first to have matched the Baggies' asking price for the 25-year-old.

Forest will be hoping to quickly tie up the deal for the Republic of Ireland international, who the Al Hasawi family view as being a potential marque signing, before any of their rivals can intervene.

Manager Sean O'Driscoll inherited a squad that already contains six senior strikers, but the capture of Cox would only bolster their firepower – and provide a clear demonstration of intent from the new owners.

Cox has scored ten goals in 65 appearances for the Baggies but had a prolific scoring record during his spell with Swindon, when he netted 40 times in 73 appearances between 2007 and 2009.

West Brom are willing to let Cox move on to pastures new – for the right fee – as they look to bolster their own front line with new signings.

In the meantime, Forest look to have hit a stumbling block in their efforts to sign defender Daniel Ayala on loan from Norwich City. The Reds had agreed a deal with the Canaries to take the Spanish central defender on loan for the season. But the 21-year-old is understood to be reluctant to commit himself to another loan deal, having already had spells with Hull City and Derby County in the past.

The former Liverpool player may reject the chance to come to the City Ground and instead fight for his place at Carrow Road.

Jerel Ifil is on trial at Torquay.

Torquay have released him not offering a contract...his journey continues

I'm surprised that Phil Smith has not been signed up by a club as yet, he will make a decent lower league keeper or no 2 keeper in L2 or conference

Both Ifil and Smith are decent league 2 or conference players.  I actually really rated Jerel when he came to us, and for quite a while believed he would go quite far in the game.  Unfortunately he seemed incapable of learning - he had the raw attributes to be a decent centre back. If he could have learned to communicate and pass a ball, he could have gone far.

Ifil was a recovery defender who was good until he had the ball. His pace made him what he was and he was good at interception and a decent stopper with reasonable heading ability.
He was poor on the ball and his distribution was diobolical,lacked confidence and he lacked concentration at times. He did well in league 2 here and was imo player of the year.

He did well do become a pro at all i think as his touch etc was way below pro standard. Not surprised he is struggling to find a club as i'm sure he's lost a yard of pace and without that is pretty much no good to anyone.

Ifill was great with Vincent alongside him. Ifil's problem was that he ddin't have a footballing brain. He was a good man marker as he didn't have to think and was good with an experienced head alongside him ( Cuthbert also? ) telling him what to do.

Macclesfield forum creaming themselves over the signing of an ex premiership midfielder with "every trick in the book", I think they will find he actually didn't play in the premiership for Norwich and that every trick in the book is just "a stepover".

Think Burnley was the right team for him to progress to. No undue pressure, plenty of chances to play. Shame it didn't happen the same way for Cox at WBA, but maybe he'll get his time now at Forest.

Back to off field Austin, just after his move I had his shagging around confirmed by the person who measured my son's feet in Clarks!  By the end of the measuring I knew Austin was the "crap boyfriend" of her friend and had cheated on her friend a few times...

Oh yeah, my son's feet hadn't grown.

Obviously not standing him in enough manure. Come on Batch, we have our West Country reputation to keep up.

On the Austin note, must be quite galling to break up with someone only to have their name constantly paraded in front of you by random strangers. Quite literally. But then again, you get involved with a footballer...

Etienne Esajas on trial with Chesterfield

Spireites take Esajas on trial

League 2, 11:05, September 17, 2012

Chesterfield have taken former Swindon Town winger Etienne Esajas on trial.

Esajas is currently without a club after his contract at Swindon was cancelled by mutual consent in May.
The 27-year-old, who was a regular for Sheffield Wednesday between 2007 and 2010, still had a year remaining at the County Ground but left in order to find first-team football after making just six league appearances in the 2011-12 season.
Esajas had trials at Charlton Athletic and then Scottish champions Rangers in 2010 but is now hoping for a successful trial at Chesterfield as he aims to secure a permanent contract with the League Two club.
The Spireites are also taking a closer look at former Crystal Palace winger Kieron Cadogan, who has joined on trial following his release from Selhurst Park.

Young footballer with a bit of spare cash shags around a bit shocker. More news at 10.

We need to get a bit of a perspective here.

Charlie Austin ran his fucking socks off for us for a couple of years, scored some absolutley blinding goals and was responsible for more than a few memorable wins.

The team for which he played morphed into an absolute dogshit outfit despite his efforts so, being as how he was employed as a footballer, he looked for an employer where his earning potential was better.

I don't think he did anything wrong here. Some folk got very carried away because he put in a request to leave their beloved club. So what. As I said, to him it is a job.

I can't make the Burnley game but if I could I would welcome Charlie back with a cheer and a return to the "Charlie, Charlie Austin" chant.

Agreed it probably is just a job to him, however contrast his behaviour to that of Coxy (who still got his move) and i think we can all see where he went wrong.

The whole "just a job" argument is always open to debate. 8,000 people don't turn up to support me doing my job, if they did then i would probably expect a bit of stick from them if i left (and they wanted me to stay).

But what was the situation at Swindon when Coxy moved on?

TBH, beyond the fact that we lost a great striker, I can't remember much about his move. Was it closed season or mid? Were we descending into the depths of being dogshit, were we mid table or a prospect. I really can't recall (getting old and memory is like a wossname- er, um, thingy).

Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 10:35:19
It was after the 08/09 season had finished, we just about scraped survival after Wilson came in mid season.

Austin will get abuse off a few morons no doubt, I blame his departure on the clubs inability to keep hold and then replace our best players earlier that season. No wonder he was pissed off and wanted out. I remember his time here fondly and he was fucking brilliant for us.

Although Cox is probably a better player, I would rate Austin as a better finisher and arguably it is him who has the best chance of a career at the top level after Cox had a failed spell at West Brom.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 12:05:40
Austin wanted to further his career, a decision that has been more than vindicated.

Anyone with a goalscoring record of 37 goals in 65 games for us will get an initial round of applause from me pre-game, as soon as the game starts he will be just another opposition striker.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 12:12:25
I don't get the level of disgust with Austin.  We picked him up for peanuts, he scored a load of goals for us, we sold him for a tidy sum to a club in a higher league because he had the opportunity to further his career.

I know he has an attitude and asked for a move etc. etc. but so what, wasn't the first andwon't be the last.....  this is football and as Swindon fans we should be well and truly used to it by now.  I will respond to Austin exactly the same as hammer!

We brought him for peanuts, sold him for about £1.5m and as a regular goalscorer in the championship could well be worth around £5m pretty soon if he keeps going.

Surely Fitton put a sell on clause when he sold him so it is in our interests he goes on and makes the very best of himself ...... This is where someone assures me Fitton put in a sell on clause when we sold him!

I disagree. Cox scored more spectacular goals, and had a bit more to his game but I think Parkin was the better finisher. I would guess 99% of Parkin goals were within the 6yrd box. Cox scored many long rangers for us.

Parkin was a brilliant footballer. Made the right runs, stood in the right areas, scored lots of goals.

Cox had a shot on him and was capable of spectacular goals.

Austin I would say was/is the most natural finisher of the three. Doesn't possess Parkin's footballing brain or Cox's ability to blast them in from 25 yards, but (nearly) always found the net.

The biggest difference between Parkin & Cox (who are both still liked by everyone) and Austin is the way they left.

Both SSP & Coxy left the club at the end of the season and got their moves to bigger clubs, Austin waited until January (in fact almost the end of) & chucked in a transfer request to attempt to force the club to sell him.   I understand that it's not his fault that we couldn't get a decent replacement in but you always got the feeling that had he have stayed we could (and probably would) have stayed up.

That said, if we had we wouldn't have had the season we had last year

To me handing in a transfer request is basically a players way of putting two fingers up and saying fuck you to the club.

No time for Austin and dont hold him in the same regard as Parkin or Cox.

I disagree. Cox scored more spectacular goals, and had a bit more to his game but I think Parkin was the better finisher. I would guess 99% of Parkin goals were within the 6yrd box. Cox scored many long rangers for us.

All about opinions

The biggest difference between Parkin & Cox (who are both still liked by everyone) and Austin is the way they left.

Both SSP & Coxy left the club at the end of the season and got their moves to bigger clubs, Austin waited until January (in fact almost the end of) & chucked in a transfer request to attempt to force the club to sell him.   I understand that it's not his fault that we couldn't get a decent replacement in but you always got the feeling that had he have stayed we could (and probably would) have stayed up.

That said, if we had we wouldn't have had the season we had last year

Correct....but the question was/is....who was the best striker.....not who was best liked.

Austin was/is the best finisher,Cox the better all round player.........i would have Super Sammy just behind both but i know many would have him in front of both Austin and Cox.

Post by: DV on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 20:27:41
Cox is the most talented player out of the 3. Austin however is the most natural finisher.

Parkin wasnt as talented as Cox but was a better finisher than him. He also wasnt as good a finisher as Austin but was more talented.

Well, thats my opinion anyways...

There were people commenting on whether or not Austin should get a good or bad reception if he plays (he wasn't playing tonight), and that's what I was focussing on.

With regards to who the better player/finisher was I would agree he was a more natural goalscorer than the other two, whereas Coxy was the better footballer who could score great goals & create goals for others

I still think Parkin was the best finisher...the never bobbled for Parkin.  Austin was also a top finisher and I agree that Cox had the most all round talent.

It's a shame that we seem to have missed out on him, but I suppose the odds are that there'll be a few over a period of time.

Lukas, Cox, Austin all doing well in Div 2....lets hope Collins can come good, certainly the hat trick at Stoke suggests it's possible.

For me Cox had the most ability and was probably the best all rounder. But I'd back Parkin over him inside the box, plus Parkin was a better servant to the club. Austin was a great find and a great finisher, but is third on all counts.

Jutkiewicz asked my niece out at Luke Hopper's 18th birthday party.

I am sure I was told a couple of weeks ago that Luke Hopper isn't playing football at all now. Did he ever get on the pitch for us - he certainly made the bench a couple of times under Sturrock. Would have been nice to see another Devizes lad break through.

This bloke is on the way to becoming a Claret legend. Whatever happens to Eddie Howe, he will always deserve credit for signbing Charlie Austin.

Quote
I think a few of Howe's signings have been really poor, but he is going to end up far in credit when he leaves Burnley on the basis that I can see us getting £8m+ for Austin - without a doubt the best finisher we have had since Payts

£1m for Austin was an absolute joke of a deal - I can only pray we didn't insert a sell on clause for Swindon.

Interesting link, thanks.

One of the posts states that £1m was a steal - hopefully there is a good sell on clause as there is mention of £7-8m. in January.

A number of posts bear out Charlie's poacher's instinct with his positioning and gambling in the box exceptional and they say his all round play is improving.  Last striker of note exported to Burnley (though he eventually ended up in midfield there) was one Peter Noble of 69 vintage.

If Tuesday were the Johnstone's I'd be happy to see Charlie add to his price tag but our best chances are that, like Walters and Crouch, he stays on the bench and that we score more

:D I'd have told him the same too.

I never understood why he got slated so much. Whenever I saw him play (which, admittedly, wasn't often seeing as I live in France and only get to a handful of games each season) he did ok. He just didn't score many goals, but then I guess that wasn't his role - he was more of a "hold the ball up and lay it off" sort of player and I thought he did that quite well. Nothing spectacular but certainly much better than the likes of Dossevi and poor old Vinnie Péricard.

No he has grown up a lot P69 I think he will do well with them.

Austin will not go for £8million. I personally don't think he can cut it in the premiership, but has surprised me this season in the championship.

The thing with Austin is that hes English so thats a bonus for Premier League clubs with the Home Grown rule so some clubs will spend a bit more on English players than the equivalent foreign players.

But yes Arsenal are not reknown of late for spending a penny :D

Arsenal don't really have that many home grown players compared to some of the other clubs in the prem. Even in the Carling cup there team was made up of foreigners where as a few years ago it was all young british kids.

Morrison was 'distinctly average'? Maybe in your opinion he was. I thought he was pretty solid and a threat going forward.  Yes he was caught out positionally at times. but that was an age/lack of experience thing.

Connell- 11 goals in 32 appearances for The Town according to Wikipedia.

This seasons numbers for Town strikers and our main threat-

Williams-4 goals in 22 appearances (BBC)

Collins- 8 goals in 24 appearances (BBC)

Storey- 3 goals in 8 appearances (BBC)

Ritchie- 7 goals in 25 appearances (BBC)

Matt Ritchie, currently second top scorer for us.

I'd have quite happily given Alan a run in the squad this season.

I think that our current crop of strikers is not bagging enough goals (perhaps with the exception of Collins) is hardly irrelevant.

He may be a bench warmer at Bradford but, here, where he was relativiely settled, may have led to him being given better opportunities. In addition, his tally for us last season was also as a frequent bench warmer. I think getting shot of Alan when we did was a mistake. He deserved a chance in League 1.

Really hoping Willow will kick on now. He obviously brings more to the team than goals but they really are a pre requisite for a striker, especially if we want to be promotion contenders.

I used to know him quite well and from what I remember (and hear now) he only played the game as he was good at it rather than because he enjoyed it.

When Spurs let him go he had a couple of offers from League 2 teams but decided to go part time so he could do something different with his life.

Watching Villa in the second half was embarrassing for Paul Lambert. This is a premiership manager, chasing goals in the second half and his tactic was to chuck on all his forwards and play with absolutely no shape. The centre midfielders, Delph and Ireland had absolutely zero outball along the wings and all they ended up doing was lumping the ball hopefully into the box which was easily dealt with by the Bradford defenders. The pace of N'Zogbia and Agbonlahor was totally wasted as they just piled into the box.

Agreed i was surprised when he went 3 at the back and took off the LB as he was getting forward well and putting decent balls in the box. When he went off they had no clue whatsoever and just pumped it in the box

I probably have missed it somewhere but I didn't realise Martin Ling was so ill, not been present for the last 4 Torquay games, hope he gets better soon.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21432028

Quote
Torquay chairman Simon Baker says the club still has no idea when manager Martin Ling will be well enough to resume his duties.

Ling missed a fourth successive match on Tuesday night and the club still does not know what is wrong with the 46-year-old former Leyton Orient boss.

"We're hoping by the end of the week we'll know a prognosis," Baker said.

"I have been pressing the League Managers' Association who act for him and look after him," he told BBC Devon.

I was at the last press conference that Martin Ling held almost three weeks ago and it was clear he was not 100%.

But nobody would have foreseen that he would miss the next four matches.

His absence has spawned all sorts of conspiracy theories amongst Torquay fans and the fact that the club do not know the seriousness of his illness will worry supporters even more.

"It's a worrying time for his family and the most important thing is Martin, his family and his health.

"As soon as we know anything concrete we'll tell the world.

"Whatever happens we'll get through this and support Martin and his family."

In Ling's absence, assistant manager Shaun Taylor has taken over first-team duties and was the driving force behind Elliot Benyon rejoining the Gulls on loan earlier this week.

Baker says he has offered Taylor the chance to bring in some extra coaching help, but Taylor is happy with the team he has.

"It's something that's been on our minds," said Baker. "We have talked to Shaun about this already, he's said 'no'. He's happy with the team around him.

"He's drafted in Robbie Herrera from the youth side to help him.

"Shaun knows if he needs some help we'll get him it, but it's his call."

On the plus side at least Shaun Taylor is getting a bit of team management under his belt.

UNITED manager Martin Ling is currently being treated for a debilitating illness.

He is receiving specialist care and, while we are able to report that he is making some progress, it is anticipated that Martin will be away from work for several weeks.

Any further statement will only be issued when it is appropriate to do so and, until then, the Club would ask that the privacy of Martin’s family be respected.

The Club and the League Managers Association are both fully supportive and are looking forward to his return

In the meantime, United officials have held discussions with assistant manager Shaun Taylor and we have agreed to actively seek an experienced coach to help Shaun with the running of the team. This process has already begun in earnest.

That sounds bad, most likely one of the big C's.

My thoughts go out to him in this fucking difficult time, I know how he feels after my scare recently with cancer.

Just stay strong Lingy and I hope it isn't life threatening or that will cease his career in the future either.

Get well soon Martin.

Personally I wouldn't be shocked to hear of Paul Bodin going there to help out things....for a fee of course.

Christian Roberts interview reveals man-love for Andy King:

"If I did ever get into management I think I would be most like my former boss at Swindon, Andy King. He was a lovely individual and that's what I liked about him most. He was arguably the best manager I played under. He just wanted his players to go and enjoy football. Some managers get into people's heads, but I think the best managers are the ones who can allow players to express themselves."

Nice to see he's sorting his life out though.

Aside from Ritchie winning League 1 POTY, Simon Cox also won Football League goal of the year at the FL awards. If Austin had carried on his early season goal scoring form we'd probably be talking about a clean sweep at the awards today.

Personally I find the success of former players both half pleasing as I like to see them do well, and half depressing to consider what we've been deprived, especially, in this case, as all 3 would provide the key qualities our current squad is lacking.

Agreed, never forget Andy coming to my son's presentation evening when he was playing youth footy.  When his name was called out to receive the leading goalscorers award (about 40 goals!) Andy presented his award and then asked him how many were scored with his head, the reply was only two - Andy straight away said next season try and become a more complete striker and practice your heading!  This Chris worked on all summer, only to be transformed into a defender for many more years!!

Ignoring the way it ostracised players instead of trying to make them work harder, I do find the stories of them being forced to train seperately quite amusing. It's almost as if Di Canio thought those who didn't train hard enough had cooties and didn't want them to infect the other players.

Neil Lennon on Charlie Austin in today's Scotland on Sunday.

"We were tipped off about Rodriguez at Burnley who hadn't played in the Premier League and he ended up going to Southampton for £7m. Celtic have never spent more than £3m on a player in six years. I don't know what Charlie's valuation is. He is a player that we like but whether we can afford him or not is a different matter."

Good move for him, no doubt he could have got a run of the mill League 1 club but Portsmouth are a big club and if they do well next season then he will be playing in front of 5-figure crowds every other week.

Hope he does well, a shite right back but his spell in the centre with Darren Ward around December-January was the best our defence looked at this level for a long time.

http://pfascotland.co.uk/2013/news/sam-parkin-writes-another-blog/

He has had some really bad luck with injuries since leaving Swindon to be fair to him, and he was Ipswich's top scorer before he got injured. I'd love him back, if only because it's the only club where's he's been a success and he knows it - confidence is a big thing for strikers and he'd come back confident of recapturing the old magic........in my dreams anyway.

It may just be the few giving the majority a bad name but it's no wonder the public (not just football supporters) have formed a view that most top level professional footballers are pretentious pricks who have more money than brain cells.

I fail to understand why the FA don't seem to want to remove this image?

I do sometimes wonder if moving to a big club & getting lost in their system does these kids any favours.

I understand they are chasing a dream, but you would think that they would have a better chance of getting a career in football by playing in the first team of a lower league team than getting lost in a Premier league teams U20's side.

Would be interesting to know how many international footballers have come through the ranks at Crewe in the last 20-30 years compared to those of the academies of the top premier league teams

Benteke being touted at £20m so if Burnley are on the ball then Austin should be worth more than £4m - would like to think £8m nearer the mark for a goalscorer who has the happy knack of getting goals with the right service.

It'd be nice to have Bostock back, but there's no reason to believe he will go for us. He might get signed by Scumderland though, Paolo always raved about how good he was, just rarely played him...

Parret played well against Oldham, but it sounds like he was pants afterwards, plus it seems stuff was going on behind the scenes. He can stay the fuck away.

Bostock spent the overwhelming majority of his Swindon Town career not on the pitch and even in the throwing-around-of-money era we briefly enjoyed I would say that he's not worth the risk.

But why was that? Was it one of Paolo's odd decisions, or was there a fitness reason? I vaguely recall Paolo saying in one post-match that Bostock was fit and ready from the moment he arrived (I think he was talking generally about the fitness of other club's players)

Does anyone know what John Gilligan, Darren Bullock and Alex Smith are up to these days? Last I know of John Gilligan is that he played for Nuneaton Borough in the late 1970's and thats the last I know of him. Darren Bullock is apparently a window cleaner in Worcester but don't which one and Alex Smith played for Southport in 2006 and since then he seems to have dissapeared. Is there anyone on here who can help me?

Darren Bullock cropped up recently as a local hero in Worcester when rescuing someone from a fire when cleaning windows. John Gilligan, had a twin bro Augustus (Gus) Gilligan, both who played a handful of games but sadly never in the same side.

John is a driver for Stagecoach, Gus works in healthcare in Dublin.  Alex Smith....try Walton.

Surely Poole only get a cut of the first sell on (i.e Swindon to Burnley?) Surely they don't keep getting cuts for each transfer he makes after leaving them?

Unless I am completely misunderstanding how football transfers work?

Also, did I not read somewhere that Swindon are unlikely to receive any sign on due to Fitton's involvement in the transfer?

there must be a reason that neither Wilson or Di Canio rated him at first and KMac thought he wasn't worth a spot in central midfield so was shifted out wide.

Luxury player?

I did read that Di Canio's initial impression was that he was a good player but appeared to lack that bit of determination.  He must come across bloody awful in training sessions but when he gets a few competitive games he starts to come into his own.

I think I recall a Scotch contributing to the forum after we signed him, which pretty much said the same thing when he was at Celtic.

Everything's just a laugh for Ferry though isn't, probably comes accross as a bit immature and maybe that puts people off. I was a massive fan though, never thought we played as well without him in the side. In fact I'm sure I tweeted some stats around the turn of the year which showed how much better we were performing with him on the pitch.

Great signing for Pompey though, they are building a great side and will have the fans right behind them this year.

Slight tangent but Whitbread was coaching Puerto Rico Islanders before that. Ex-Hartlepool United forward David Foley (0 league goals in close to 100 league games) was with him there.

Can you imagine that? Sitting at home in the Hartlepool area and having your agent call and say "You have the option of one-year deal with Hartlepool or a move to Puerto Rico Islanders? Oh and Barrow are interested too."

It was either John Trollope or Don Rogers who put him in their all time Town XI. He was one big beast of a player. Played a couple of games up front for us.
Him and Burrows alongside each other were a bit intimidating.

Sorry, didn't make myself clear. Wasn't making a judgement on whether he was guilty or not, more the general propensity to go out on the lash and get in aggro (whether his fault or not). Wouldn't have gone down well with the Dear Leader, so he'd have ended up another expensive acquisition sat on the wage bill but not featuring on the pitch. Which I appreciate isn't the most obvious reading of my very hastily made post. My apologies

Stevenage have signed former Tottenham midfielder Dean Parrett until the end of the season, subject to a medical.

The 21-year-old, who represented England from Under-16 to Under-20 level, was released by Spurs over the summer.

He made five appearances for Spurs, none in the Premier League.

During his time at White Hart Lane, Parrett had loan spells at a number of Football League clubs including Yeovil, Charlton, Plymouth and Swindon.

Not exactly an ex Town player but Kayden Jackson scored another 2 today for Marine making it 11 goals from 11 starts, not bad even though 3 have been penalties.

Jackson completed his loan spell with todays game and is looking at going out on loan to a higher league club than Marine according to his interview yesterday on BBCRS.

I see Charlie Austin got his 7th of the season for QPR today, Johnny Smith and Benson(2) both scored for Luton, Rooney scored a pen for Oldham, Parkin for Exeter, Fallon for St Johnstone and Abdulla for Barnet.

Youth player at Leeds and Bradford apparently, although our official site only mentions that he had a trial at Leeds in the summer of 2012.

I doubt he'd get into Salisbury's team at the moment, Storey didn't make the starting eleven when he joined them

Whilst you are probably right, as Austin showed us you never know with strikers as the ability to find the net is more important than actually being a very good footballer. I mean how many levels below the Football League were Poole Town?

The lad Gayle that was at Peterborough last season having signed from Dagenham & Redbridge has gone from Conference South to Premiership in a couple of seasons.

Someone who knows where the back of the net is...that's vital, and it's no lie that the higher up the leagues you go, the better the service....admittedly the better the defences too...but if you don't try, you don't know...mind you, the management/coaches have seen him in training and obviously feel that League One is above him at the moment..

The difference with Austin, Gayle, Smalling et al is that they were all youngsters on the books of pro teams who dropped out of league football for various lengths of time - Smalling played 12 games at Maidstone, Austin played over 100 non-league games - before getting picked up.

Due to the sheer numbers of youngsters these academies have on their books for every age group, there is always going to be one or two who slip the net. It'd be nice to think the Samsung thing will unearth one of these but the odds really are minute.

I hope Jackson goes on to succeed at Supermarine's level, hopefully higher, but with Ranger, N'Guessan, Ajose, El Gabas and Storey on our books (not to mention Williams and Benson) it's going to be very unlikely he even makes the bench for us.

Agree to a degreeSonic,depends if they actually get a run out and a chance when signed...many dont.
Remember Wilson only pitching in Austin as a last resort,seem to remember he wasn't that bothered if we even bought him or not.

But yes past experience at a pro club seems to give you the edge.

Ian Wright was another one some years ago, went from playing on Hackney Marshes to Palace at the age of 22.

But in fairness these are the exception, I think you are right that the coaches/scouts get it right most of the time & there are far more players that drop down into the non leagues that never come back.

Will be interesting to see what we would do if he went to a higher level than Supermarjne in loan & still scores goals.

Left back is an odd position, insofar as plenty of top teams seem to have a weakness there.

Think it's to do with the fact, that you need the build of a long distance runner for the attacking stuff, but that's not much help for the defensive stuff.  Do you pick someone who gives you attacking, and accept the defensive frailties...or go negative and pick a defender. Another option, of course, is 3 at the back, to try and render the position redundant. Surely no coincidence that Bale was proper shit at left back, as it's a difficult position to play.

Given that top sides like Real, Barca and the Spanish national team have had a bit of a problem here, it's hardly surprising that we have.

Not exactly an ex Town player but Kayden Jackson scored another 2 today for Marine making it 11 goals from 11 starts, not bad even though 3 have been penalties.

Jackson completed his loan spell with todays game and is looking at going out on loan to a higher league club than Marine according to his interview yesterday on BBCRS.

I see Charlie Austin got his 7th of the season for QPR today, Johnny Smith and Benson(2) both scored for Luton, Rooney scored a pen for Oldham, Parkin for Exeter, Fallon for St Johnstone and Abdulla for Barnet.

That was then, this is now. He was 19 and yet expected (by Fitton?) to in part fill Greer's shoes. Unrealistic, should not have been under the pressure. Presumably he's come on a long way since, as you'd expect.

Obv our style of play at the time suited Paynter.
As well as playing alongside another recognised striker - something he wouldnt get the benefit of now

Leeds obv didnt suit his style of play and he was suitably nicknamed barn door billy up there, with Leeds playing Paynter near enough alone up front. ( Leeds fans moaned they bought the wrong one of the pairing )
Preseason injury in Norway didnt help him that first season though.
Didnt do a bad job at Donny and think Lg1 is probably his level.

Plymouth Argyle have completed the loan signing of Bury striker Tope Obadeyi.

Pilgrims boss John Sheridan has been keen to add to his attacking options, with his team having scored the fewest goals in League Two.

The 24-year-old, who has signed at Home Park until 4 January, has made three appearances for Bury this season.

Obadeyi started at Bolton and has also been on loan at Swindon, Rochdale, Shrewsbury and Chesterfield, as well as playing for Rio Ave in Portugal.

He signed a one-year deal with the Shakers in August, but has yet to open his goalscoring account for Bury.

Argyle have scored just 10 goals in League Two this season, and striker Marvin Morgan has been ruled out for several months after undergoing shoulder surgery.

Obadeyi is expected to go straight into Argyle's squad to face Lincoln City in the first round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

I didn't even know he was at Bury. Forgot all about him.  :hmmm:

Kevin Betsy looked class for Woking on the wing, with plenty of time on the ball while Adam Birchall for Dartford was small, buzzy and relatively ineffectual and no indicator that PDC might have made at least one good signing that pre-season.

However, under Fifa regulations, Elazigspor are entitled to compensation for training and development as he is under 24.

So they don't pay him AND are entitled to compentsation?

Two former Swindon strikers making their managerial debuts tomorrow. One legend and one who barely made a name for himself.

Duncan Shearer leads Inverness CT against St. Johnstone (caretaker) while Alex Meechan leads Barrow AFC vs. AFC Telford (also caretaker)

Best of luck to them!

In a thread a good while back, I think we established that Alex Meechan had the shortest STFC league career. 1 sub appearance coming on in added on time.  It is of course possible that one of Paolo's boys might have usurped that coveted record. DV?

Here's said thread....5 years later, and I still haven't had time to check the Adver microfilm. It was probably in the old Ref then, a lovely ramshackle sort of place.  The section in the new library, although better than nothing really has no chance of developing "character" due to having to cater for early 21st Century society...so not a nice place to be.

I thought Meechan made a few appearances. Seem to remember another striker, Michael Pattimore, get a pro contract the same year as Meechan and he must have had all of 5 minutes on the pitch for us. Then there was the 'bumper' year when Alan Flanagan, Ricki Culbertson, Sam Campagna, Paul McAreavey and Fraser McHugh got contracts. The bright young hopes...  I suppose McAreavey and McHugh continued professional careers, but not sure the others did.

Interesting review on Pompey fan site:

So, who could be getting axed come January?
Joe Devera has had a lot of stick from Pompey fans recently having arrived from Swindon with a good reputation. One article in the local news claimed that Pompey had signed the best player in the division but he has failed to live up to anywhere near the expectations of him.
A large number of the goals Pompey have conceded this season have been down to Devera's errors. When the ball reaches him he either heads it straight back to the opposition or aimlessly hoofs it upfield to nobody. His marking is poor and commitment questionable at times.
Some fans have dubbed him the worst defender to ever play for Portsmouth Football Club and given the competition there is for that particular accolade that is really saying something! Unless there is a huge improvement in what remains of this month Devera will surely be put up for sale and nobody associated with Pompey will miss him.

Went to a Driver Awareness course this morning after being clocked doing 35 mph in a 30 mph limit and ended up sitting at a table across from someone that looked familiar...but I just couldn't place him.  And then during a coffee break a couple of hours in, the penny dropped.  It was an ex-player.  Spoke to him shortly afterwards and he was really happy to talk.  Had a lot to say about the club and wanted to hear about yesterday's game.  Came across as a really decent chap.

Sadly I'm unable to say who he was because, as they explain at the start, everyone has a right to anonymity on these courses and his insurance premiums would probably rise if insurance companies got hold his name.

Not dead in the water. As said above if he is still on their books at the end of the month and they have no intention of keeping him, then I reckon we will get him.

If a club pays over £150k for him I would be very surprised (a reasonable lower league forward and nothing more) and that must be in our price range.

It's not surprising that Hearts look a bit poor, seeing as they're on -2 points for the season. Maurice Malpas looked happy when Collins scored, mind....tbf took it well.

Definitely an enviable crowd contribution to the occasion. Makes our derby days south of the border a trifle restrained. Echo the comment about Sunshine on Leith. Scarfs aloft and belted out with such enthusiasm. Think Hibs went 13 games without success against their maroon rivals up until recently. Bearing in mind Hearts financial predicament I expect they'll be playing their Prodi friends Rangers next season in division one - who'd have forseen that a few seasons ago.

I remember we played Hibs in a pre season friendly 1990....but that's about it, suspect we may have lost as everyone was in a bit of a daze after the events at the end of the previous season, although a 2-2 draw would be an outside punt...even Richard B hasn't got the score on his site.

Agree with you.
The TE is a shadow of what it was like in 70's and 80's. In fact seating has killed it.
However when it is full it can still deliver.

It was 2-2 Reg, i went to that game, and although i don't remember much about it (i believe it was a testimonial for John Trollope, i'll try and dig the programme out) it was 2-2. Thinking about it, i've got the goals on video somewhere of that game....

Agreed
Prefer the town end though have to admit for the more boring games when I dont think there will be much of an atmoshere I will sit in the DRS as the view is much better.

He should have been in there in the late 60's, early 70's when you would have thought at times the roof was coming off!!  Sadly, there is little atmosphere in the CG these days - the choice of music and the pitchside announcer see to that - and don't mention the Rockin Robin haka!!

Oh yeah a measly 23 goals in 34 appearances for Coventry. I'm sure Steven Pressley couldn't wait to get him out of the door.

This is a player that's scored 44 times in the couple of seasons since we swapped him for Benson, and has just been sold for £750,000.

I don't think we got half that number of goals from Benson and we won't see 75p back on him. Another master-stroke of football management. It's no wonder we're potless.

Yep,cracking signing for Wolves,paying half a million more than they let him go for a few years back....brilliant that is.
Good striker without a doubt...but look at how many clubs he has had....think we all know the reason why that is.

£750k for someone who could fall out with his shadow would be a huge risk for any team, although I guess the parachute payments Wolves are still getting makes it less so for them.

I'm sure he will do well for them right up until he finds something to upset him.

Quote
Leigh Griffiths is undergoing a medical at Celtic after Wolves accepted an increased offer for the striker.
The 23-year-old signed a new deal at Molineux in the summer and has scored 13 goals in 32 appearances this term.
However, the English League One side have recently signed Leon Clarke from Coventry and Nouha Dicko from Wigan to bolster their attacking options.

Well obviously it will play some part, if he was the next Messi, they'd have put up with any amount of attitude. But you don't get to be the next Messi if you don't train (which was, allegedly, the problem), so attitude will feed into ability anyway.

I read an article about Ronaldo somewhere, I think it might have been on the BBC site, and it was about his total dedication and desire to constantly better himself. I'm sure it even had a little dig at how Nani and Anderson are his polar opposites.

It said how he'd train harder than anyone and would pick people's brains into how to improve his power and physique in the gym and would then put in countless to achieve it. It made me realise he's someone who's ensured he'll be the best he can possibly be and will accept no less.

The difference is, I suppose, some will work to get it, some expect it. It's like buying lottery tickets and hoping for riches, or going out and working your arse off.

Perhaps boots for league clubs should be in team colours? Would make it easier for refs to work out who left their foot in the challenge then. I suppose you would have to have 'home', 'away' and '3rd' kit boots, but that's what sponsors are for...

Actually, sponsors would probably stop that. 'You can't tell he's wearing Nike/Adidas/Puma/Sondico/etc! How are we supposed to pay players to advertise them if people can't tell!'

Good move for him that, I know he was impressing in League 2 before he got banned so will be interesting to see how he gets on.

19 appearances for us..can't remember him too well. Quick, but wasn't that about it, like a budget McNamee?

Probably had his finest hour nearly 4 years ago now, when we won 1-0 at Soton...

Henshall had a massive fallout with John Ward at Rovers, no idea how he did at Chesterfield though.

Big step up in quality going from 2 bottom league teams to the Championship, this will probably determine if he is released by Man City at the end of the season or not, as he hasn't been progressing as well as he should according to the Academy manager at Man City - Jason Wilcox.

It goes much much deeper than that. The Belgians, like the Germans, have completely overhauled their entire youth development system, and have grassroots clubs, professional club academies and the Belgian FA, all working together to develop young players and bringing them through the system. As opposed to the pro clubs simply pushing their own interests, the FA more interested in building a massive white elephant national stadium and grassroots left to rot. There's no simple fix to the problems of English football, it will take a decade or more of completely overhauling a badly broken system. More than that, and the reason it won't happen, is it will take a complete change of attitude from the professional clubs, particularly those at the top.

Jed (I know!!) put something on Twitter yesterday about Grassroots spending being cut by 20%. I'm sure its not as straightforward as that but it is frustrating to see the barmy amounts of money being spent by Premiership clubs chasing the dream and this money not being spent heavily on our youngsters.

My interest in the Premiership has long waned and I am now at the stage where I hope the English clubs fail in Europe. The recent story that QPR's wage spend is more than Borussia Dortmund's is startling and my love of the beautiful game is really starting to fade badly.

Thank goodness for Darren Ward and his band of legendary footballers to keep my interest!

It's not - Sport England have cut the money they pay the FA to go into adult Grassroots football. The idea (theoretically at least) is that the FA will be forced to replace that money from their own funds and still maintain/increase the spend on Grassroots so that this will act as a punishment/wake-up call to the FA that they are failing Grassroots badly. Whether it works like that is another matter, but the grant in question was for adult Grassroots, not the youth game. Although much of the same arguments around neglect applies

Plus, of course, the number of foreign players in the PL.

Some of the players now playing for, or touted to, would have not got near the England team years ago.

Balancing that, though, is there is now a large minority of fans who don't give a shit about England.

But that's a vicious circle - the clubs care less about England, the players take less pride in playing for England, so in turn it matters less to fans. And as it matters less to fans, so the top clubs and players see that and can get away with prioritising European club competitions more. And so on.

Adam Rooney comes out on top as James Collins fails to score yet again as Hibs lose at home to Aberdeen. Hibs may well be very poor but I'm surprised Collins has only managed 6 goals all season for them. According to Soccerbase Rooney has managed 15 for Aberdeen and Oldham combined. Can hardly say either of them has really been missed at Swindon despite our lack of a consistent goal scorer. In fact I've barely seen Collins' name mentioned since he left which considering he did top score for us last year seems a bit surprising. But he never seemed to be regarded with great affection by any one here.

Think PDC got a bit stitched up in all fairness.  He probably thought he was going to get the real Martin who would have scored a shed load and reality he got a player coming back from injury who clearly wasn’t anywhere near match fit.

He certainly didn't look like a 20 goal a season striker while with us, fair play to him as I know Norwich fans thought he was good before he came to us just that he never got a run in their team.

Surely a basic bit of that apparently legendary thoroughness ("Are you fully fit Chris?" "Not really, no") would have ascertained the situation. More likely, he knew he was getting a player returning from injury and gambled that an 80% fit Chris Martin would still be able to do the business at our level. But he was wrong.

Yeovil used it to expand their bank balance by about £5mill as they spent only a little extra on wages and no fees for players.

GJ has asked for the same budget for next season as he had this season or he may leave. (their budget this season was said to be about £2.1mill)

A friend of Alex's parents told me, he is out of contract at the end of the season and this is a trial loan at Ipswich, if he does well he will get a contract extention and could be loaned to Ipswich next season, if it doesnt go well he will probably be released.
Henshall has been released by Man City and has been offered a contract at Ipswich, shame really I think he should have came back to us to continue his development.

I dont think its amazing - I think its bloody obvious first team football (at any level) is better than none competitive football (again, at any level)

I think we all agree with that but the lure of Premier League wages, even for a youth team player, far outweigh the wages we could have offered him.

If he completes his move then we miss out on any sell on fee as we did with Ben Tozer, Leigh Mills, Jamie Stephens, Matthew Collins and Lukas Jutkiewicz to name a few in the last 10 years that have left us and failed to make any impact at Premier League clubs after leaving us.

In this day and age, it's inevitable that lads are going to move on.....even if they end up like Matty Collins playing in the League of Wales.

A 3 year contract at a Prem club for a kid is likely to be worth at least half a mill...if you're a bit sensible, then it should set you up for life, even if it doesn't work out.

Pretty much, how you stop this I dont know.

Wage cap for under 21s? even then they'd still go to the big clubs hoping for a pro deal of some sort.

As Reg said even nobodies who did nothing probably earnt enough to be very comfortable for a long time.

I saw Rhys Evans the other day....he's managed a career, and probably made a bit of money....last seen turning out for Hereford, who stayed in the Conference for now, on goal difference.

Except for the chance that really matters - getting the invaluable experience of playing competitive first team football.

Most PL clubs just hoover up any and every half decent kid they can lay their hands on, knowing full well the kid's got precious little chance of getting anywhere with them. It's a numbers game, a sausage factory with little or no regard to the ongoing development of the vast majority who get spat out the other end.

not all get that chance at our level. More than not don't.
Better chance of making pro even if not getting firstteam games at bigger clubs. They just drop to our level after, where as our released players generally end up in non league.

No they'd lose...like what happens in County Shield games. There's a big difference between boys and men.

There used to be a couple league which were somewhere between Div 4 and non-league. Properly regionalised....the Football Combination and the Central League.

Here, lads could make a step up from youth football to more of a man's game...reserve teams usually having a number of players with decent experience.

I recall seeing us play Brum in the Combination with a crowd of 5,494.

Crowds of 1600-1700 were not uncommon for games v the likes of Aldershot and Southend....more for Chelsea QPR etc.

I remember our reserves played against Spurs in the Combination back in the early 80's when Spurs played Brooke, Perryman, Hoddle, Crooks & Villa when the attendance was 5,400+.

For the record Brooke scored with a stunning 40 yarder at the Stratton Bank and we drew 2-2.

I don't think I ever watched a reserve game back in the 70's and 80's when there was less than 600 or 700 there, I miss the reserve games but in the last few years it turned into just an extension of the youth team with virtually no first teamers playing.

It used to be great to go out to the CG on a Saturday when Swindon were away or a Tuesday afternoon and watch Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Chelsea etc, I would say in those games I saw most of the current England team play at one stage or another (current internationals at the time) such as Adams, Winterburn, Bould, Seaman, Woodcock, Brooking, Dixon, Wilkins, Francis, Lampard (senior) etc the list is almost endless.

I'm sure I was at a Combination game at the CG with over 9,000 there. Either late sixties or early seventies, vouchers were being given out on the gates to be used for buying tickets for a big FA Cup game. AFAIR the Combination game was against a top London team and we won 6-2.

I also remember standing in the Townend at a Stiffs game, next to Ernie Hunt and Mike Summerbee, the first team not having a game that Saturday.

I think we would have had a chance if he was offered a two year deal from the start. Offering a one year, take it or leave it deal, ensured he would look elsewhere. Hence it was too late when Jed upped the offer (and made the embarrasing comment about McCormack being welcome back as a coach any time).

Wasn't that true of a lot of the players he signed, hence why there were so many that played very few games & were then shipped out. (same is true of those signed at Sunderland).

He was also good at signing players that had one good game against Swindon (Rooney & Collins).

And more consistent. He has scored goals in every side he has played in...and at a good rate when he plays.

Don't forget he was the first player to hit 20 goals in the Championship in 2012/13, and when we played Burnley in the LC, you can tell how physically he had come on since he left us.

Of course, if he didn't 'fail' that medical at Hull, he would've been playing in the PL last season.

An interesting subplot is that it would leave City with only Joe Hart and Gael Clichy as first team homegrown players- considering they need to have right in their already cut down 21 man CL squad and there's a real chance Financial Fair Play might accidentally achieve something.

Home Grown is based upon the nation they were trained at not the club.

Quote
33.7 Home Grown Players. Each Club shall, with effect from the commencement of Season 2011/2012 be required to nominate a minimum of six Home Grown Players on their Team Sheet of Players for all League Competition Matches (including Play Off Matches).

33.8 'Home Grown Player' shall mean a Player who irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with:-

33.8.1 his current Club; and/or

33.8.2 a Club and/or any other football club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales,
for a period, continuous or not of three Seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the Season during which he turns 21). For the purposes of this definition of Home Grown Player only, a Season will be deemed to commence on the date on which the first Transfer Window in that Season closes and expire on the date of the final League Match of the Season.

33.9 For the purposes of Regulation 33.8.2, but not otherwise, a Player who was at all times registered with a Club (or club) affiliated to the Football Association of Wales shall be treated as having been registered with a Club (or club) affiliated to The Football Association, and vice versa.

We signed Nile Ranger, don't think we have any moral high ground to take...
Plus, I doubt the full details will ever come out but then again, he's stuck with Lambert for a number of years and that wasn't enough to save his job

He is quoted in a number of newspapers saying: “Paolo would be keen to speak to Celtic. He played for the club and he certainly has a good relationship with the fans. There has been no contact between Paolo and the club. But if there was, it’s something he would consider.”

It amuses me that the above quote could easily be from Di Canio

1) Don't think the OP's point was about moral high ground anyway, so much as that if the allegations of bullying have any real basis then that's not really what you want in your manager because it's not very effective and trashes squad morale, irrespective of any "moral high ground"
2) Just because we signed Ranger (and Di Canio come to that) doesn't mean we're now doomed to be morally bankrupt for all time. We can raise our standards again.

Judging by his quotes in said article he really loved his time with us

“I was always confident in my ability to get back playing at a higher level. Last season at Swindon was a low point for me as I’d gone from a Premier League club, Norwich, to a League One side.

“That wasn’t good and if you’d asked me if I could imagine a Championship play-off final at Wembley, I’d have said you were mad.”

I'm not always one to sing Dux's praises, but without PdC's extreme fitness regime, there's a good chance Martin would never have got the move to Derby. Instead of whining that he's not in the premier league, he might have shown a bit of gratitude to our club for reviving his drifting career. He got much the better end of that loan deal.

I agree. He didn't shine here but I think it's fair to say that coming here helped him get back into a position where he could start to perform, which he has done. I understand it was a low point for him but a little acknowledgement for the role his move here played would just be courteous.

It wasn't Pook because I asked him at the time and he had no idea the TEF even existed, it was somebody who was involved with the youth team though apparently.

le Roy's list starts out with a Somali al-qaeda mob Al Shabab, then Cameroon, Senegal, Malaysia, a return to the Roons, Strasbourg, Shanghai, Cambridge, DR Congo, Ghana, Oman, Syria, back to DR Congo, and now at the undemocratic Congo.

I originally thought it may have been Power who appointed le Roy, but research proved otherwise, which was a shame.

SSP is in good company on this PFA list of players with no club atm.

http://www.thepfa.com/transferlist/listedplayers/sortbydate/cf/-1/-1/-1/-1/1/

Other noted and not so noted strikers include Rory Fallon, Gary Alexander, Elliot Benyon, Jamie Cureton, Alan Connell of permananent players and Jo Kuffour and Calvin Andrew of loan players.  Kayden Jackson gets in, but poor chap doesn't even have a pic.

Kind of reminds me of the knackers yard for old Swindon steam locos down at Barry Island.

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino is flying in on Friday for talks with Nile Ranger.

Championship Leeds are considering handing the striker a contract after he was sacked by Swindon.

Bad-boy Ranger, 23, has pledged to clean up his act after a string of
 incidents.
The talented former Newcastle England U21 striker currently now has no police charges hanging over him.

And Cellino plans to meet Ranger to discuss giving his career a lifeline at Elland Road.

Risky deal but a very good signing. A real nasty fucker who will fit in well at this level.

With Dean Cox and Jobi McAnuff out wide, Orient have it about right. It isn't rocket science and as we well know, a couple of decent wingers in a 4-4-2 supplying two functional strikers does work at League 1 level.

Not really connected, but I did like the story on the cricket today where Shane Warne was talking to Bumble about when he was playing for Accrington in the Lancs League, 91.  Warne who is known for liking a lady or two, reckoned that Sunday night in Accrington was the best he's ever had. He'd consulted Saker the England bowling coach, about whether it was worth going back now....he was advised against.

I was there. Pritchard didn't have a fantastic game but took his goal well after the defence handed him a chance on a plate. Ranger came on and made a huge difference in terms of holding the ball up and creating chances. Which isn't saying much when you consider Blackpool currently have Francois Zoko and an unfit Ishmael Miller as their front two.

While Robinson was way over priced, I don't think you can blame him for that and he played over 300 games for us in all comps, over a number of years, so not really in the class of a Jason Drysdale, or even a TAH, who cost us a fair wedge in transfer fee and didn't play very often.

To be fair, during the 95/96 McMahon promotion season, he came in for Seagraves as an emergency centre half, ended up playing a lot of games there and he was excellent.

Robinson was a great wing back for us. You don't play over 250 games for us and get labelled crap.

The chap deserves more respect from Town fans.

I will never forget the 95/96 season, he was amazing. (A lot better crossing than Brad Smith atm)

League Cup Semi Final First Leg at the CG - actually the WJMc gets away with yet another late niggly foul, drawing a retaliation from Robinson (off camera) and our Robbo is sent off.  My face was contorted with rage as I gestured angrily at the ref which was a bit embarrassing as I knew him in a business context.  It was Paul Alcock to whom Paolo more emphatically showed his disapproval to a red card.

Start the clip at 26'30" if you want the incident in all its vile glory.

More or less the only time he's done much when on one of his Yeovil loans....which to me suggest 2 things, namely (a) he doesn't necessarily need a big name club, and (b) he probably needs to feel some love.  He may well struggle to get (b) from some of our more mongular fans.....see the treatment of Mighty Michael Smith.

Rated by Skiverton who played him as a lone striker, not rated so much by Johnson who shipped him back for poor work rate and laziness and also because he was less effective in a partnership up front than playing solo.

Whenever I see Nouble he has been shite. Every side he goes to, they cannot get rid of him quick enough.

We've had a few Frenchmen down the years, and I think it's fair to say, we've not had much use out many of them.  You could argue that Miguel Comminges, who had 1 decent season, might be classed as French, but he came from Guadeloupe.

Interview with Austin in the Telegraph. Seems to have matured quite a bit since leaving Swindon. Interesting it suggests he regrets submitting a transfer request.

Though losing both those far flung outposts would be agreeable - as long as brovers stay down

I usually have a quick recce on a Monday morning to see how many of our ex's notched in either Jockoland or Prem/FL

By my reckoning there were 8...which I think equals this season's record

Austin
Martin
McCormack
Morrison
Fallon
Yeates
Rooney
Obadeyi

Not really sure if this has any significance, other than we get through a lot of players, esp loans.

Paul Hart takes acting Notts County academy manager post

Notts County have appointed former Nottingham Forest and Portsmouth boss Paul Hart as acting academy manager.

The club said the decision was taken with current academy manager Mick Leonard involved in an "on-going disciplinary process."

Hart, 61, enjoyed success with Leeds and rivals Forest in the academy ranks, helping nurture England internationals Jonathan Woodgate and Jermaine Jenas.

He ended his playing career at Notts County, making 23 appearances.

In addition to his academy work, Hart also managed Forest's first-team, and was in charge of Chesterfield, Barnsley, Rushden & Diamonds, QPR, Crystal Palace and Swindon.

"He is already being hit where it hurts judging by the fact he drove off from preston new road garage without paying for his £50 petrol because his bank was empty.
according to another player, he's not on a wage, gets paid as he plays which is why he is angry, although £2000 a game should be enough to get by you'd think."

To be fair to him, when he was fit he was very good (Wolves away springs to mind).

The problem was, he wasn't fit very much.

I suppose, with a clean bill of health, he may not have come to us.. or stayed all season.

Decent player with great potential, great to see him playing in the PL.

Wondered what would have happened in a 'Sliding Doors' moment if we had kept Gordon Greer in 2010. Maybe not relegated in 2011, Andrew Fitton not walking away to be replaced by Jeremy Wray and blowing Andrew Black's millions (and goodwill) to get back to were we were in the summer of 2010. Might look at this as our Cantona sold to Man Utd transfer?

Quite probably, although I saw a post on another forum from a Millwall fan who basically said that he felt that had Austin of scored (which he probably would have without the bobble) that the Millwall team would have been so deflated (after losing the play-off final the previous season) that we would have gone on to win that game.

I think the difference between Charlie and the likes of Parkin & Cox was the fact that he forced a move in January. Had he stayed until the end of the season and possibly kept us up I think everyone would have thought better of him.

Watching villa v spurs and mason playing well, one of spurs best players today. Only one who's really putting in a shift from their midfield and getting stuck in as well.

If he can keep up his current form for Spurs, reckon he'll get a run out for England within the next 2 years. What a turnaround in fortunes that would be.

Anyone remember Paul Mitchell, who we had on loan about 10 years ago, from Wigan.  Kingy got him to cover at right back, when he had to get shot of Gurney because of his indiscretion. Played about half a dozen games, I thought he was OK, and Kingy wanted to sign him, but Wigan wanted him back.

Anyway, it seems he is behind player recruitment at Soton, and so is now being headhunted by Pochettino for Spurs. Wonder if he was anything to do with us getting Stephens and Turnbull?

Yeah I remember PM he was a very good player for us and would have loved him to have signed, I didn't realise that was the same one, I read his name earlier and thought I recognised it from somewhere.

Similar time to another forgotten King gem, Dean Marney.

If Mitchell is behind the Tadic and Pelle signings, he certainly has an eye for talent...or is he responsible for youth signings (Chambers, Shaw et al)?

Remember when Bristol City fans weren't whining little bitches? They were more creative instead:

(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r66/batch_2001/ab_magic.jpg)

You’re going to like our latest exclusive reader offer. Not a lot, but you’ll like it.

Ever wondered how our enigmatic wing wizard Aaron Brown manages to keep his place even though he exerts less influence than a Liberal Democrat MP? Well, the secret is out in the Aaron Brown Magic Set™. Now you too can put on public displays which baffle thousands of people every week.

Yes, with the exclusive Aaron Brown Magic Set™ you will be able to:

• Disappear for 90 minutes!
• Magic your way into any starting 11 regardless of your performance!
• Conjure up things to trip over that no-one else can see!
• Pull one decent performance out of the hat each season!
• Make fantastic performances by rival players competing for your place invisible to the manager!
• Keep one goal up your sleeve to produce in the final game of the season!

And don’t just keep your new-found magic skills to yourself. With a bit of practice, you can make your younger brother disappear too!

You’ll even be able to amaze your friends by controlling human minds. Get someone to offer your boss an inflated fee for your services – then persuade him to inexplicably turn it down! However, unfortunately the Aaron Brown Magic Set™ does not possess the ability to read teammates’ minds, so you may find yourself unable to run into positions to get on the end of their passes.

There are many other tricks included in this magic set. However, although most of them will look good when you’re practicing, they will fail to come off 99 times out of 100 when you are performing in public.

How much do we want for this gift, which promises much but, in truth, will probably fail to deliver? Well, you might want to offer us £600,000 for the magic set – but we won’t accept anything under £1 million, even though that’s clearly overpriced. So hurry, this offer is only available for the next eight months. And unlike our left wing enigma, you’ll have to move quick to nip in before it’s too late.

Other magic sets are available in this series.*

Small Print

Allow 28 days for delivery of a decent cross. Your Aaron Brown Magic Set™ will make its way to your home as soon as it can be arsed, probably in a flashy car. Should someone offer you a decent price for your Aaron Brown Magic Set™, bite their hand off or you’ll regret it later.

*Coming soon:

• The Brian Tinnion Magic Set™. Cut a man in half with one late tackle.
• The Steve Phillips Magic Set™. Pluck an object out of thin air (only works sporadically).
• The Grey Graydon Magic Kit™. Turn footballers into hopeless donkeys and predict the future –
 in non-league football.

Think it may have been his debut v MBoro, in a Div 2 top of the table clash back in about this time of year 97 (maybe 98)

15,000+ in the CG....(capacity before a number of seats were randomly removed). For about half an hour, him and Kevin Watson, ran the show we went 1 up through George Ndah, and I thought we could be onto something.  Unfortunately in the second half Fraser shanked a clearance to Merson, who had the class to score....e-Merson got a late winner and it's been downhill since  :(

Grant Hall and Alex Henshall both on the bench for Blackpool (vs Millwall) today having signed on loan this week

Hall came on after half an hour and did ok but wasn't really tested as Millwall had all the attacking proficiency of a feather duster. Henshall played the last 20 minutes, did ok but as an attacking player was never likely to impress with such a bad team around him.

I don't think even the club knows! they were uncertain of his whereabouts before Christmas (later said there were family problems behind his disappearance) and he hasn't featured since then in the first team squad.

He is walking a very fine tightrope yet again, good player....poor judgement.

I do think there was a degree of show boating from Lee Clark on that as while he was saying he didn't know where Ranger was, Ranger was all over Twitter responding?

However, Nile Ranger, Lee Clark, Blackpool FC all deserve each other !

I liked Bostock. Every time I saw him play there was a sense of unpredictability in his play, that always made you think that he might make something happen... Didn't really get a chance here, much like everywhere else he has played in his career. Which is unfortunate when you consider how other Tottenham youth products who have been shipped out from club to club, Townsend, Mason, even Harry Kane to an extent, are now shining in the Premier League.

I think he and Mason were very similar in positioning, if not style. I'd have him back in an attacking midfielder role in a heart beat. PDC liked to play him as a non-scoring striker though (a PDC speciality).

For some reason I wondered what Ronan Murray is up to these days. His wiki made for interesting reading:

Murray signed a short-term contract with Notts County in August 2013 after a trial period.[39] Then God sent down the angel Gabriel and told Murray that he was to have a baby and that baby would be the son of God. Murray agreed. He is now on maternity leave.

Does anyone know if this is true?

He was the pick of the 3 for me but thought due to his injuries even a team in Div 3 would be taking a punt on him given probable wages and actual game time. Has the skill but didn't seem to have the body to cope. Good luck to him. Good player.

His dad may have been shafted by PDC but Billy wasn't. PDC wanted him to stay but Billy big-bollocks decided he knew best.

As an aside, I just had a look at Billy's wiki account:

Quote
Torquay United (loan)[edit]
On 25 August 2011, Bodin joined Torquay United on loan until January 2012.[7] He made his Torquay debut in the 1–1 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge on 27 August 2011, coming on as a substitute and winning a penalty, which was converted by Rene Howe. On 13 September 2011, Bodin scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Cheltenham Town and scored again on the following week on 17 September 2011 in a 3–3 draw against Rotherham United. His 69th goal came on 29 October 2015 in a 24–0 win over Hereford United and scored again on the following week on 5 November 2011 in a 3–0 win over Crewe. After scoring against Hereford United, manager Martin Ling says there will be predicting big things for Bodin since being established in the first team.[8] On 2 January 2012, Bodin scored his four hundredth goal in a 2–1 win over Plymouth Argyle. Bodin good performance led the club wanted Bodin loan to be extended until the end of the season[9] After left Torquay, Bodin paid respect for Ling, stating that he made tactical change arrested the club's nosedive at the start of the season.[10]

I do remember he had a rather large forehead too :D

I remember him playing, in an unfamiliar left centre back role, man marking Jermaine Defoe out of the game when he was on loan at Bournemouth. Perhaps his best performance for us. I also remember what I think was his debut at the Manor. He was fine, the day was dreadful. There was a time when it was thought he would go on to far better things than a move to Luton.

I wondered how he was getting on, fearing he was on a one-way road downwards. Good to hear he's on the mend. I hadn't thought that alcohol might have played a role, even if he was a landlord. Sounds like this shock to the system might have been good for all his family in the end.

I would like to take issue with this, not with you personally jutty but the fact that most people's default reaction to the name Leon Clarke is 'oooh, he's a cunt'.

What exactly is this based on? As far as I am aware, it is related to his (in)famous spat with Di Canio after the Southampton Cup game.

Again as far as I am aware, this is what happened...

The players are coming off after the game and the fitness coach marches on and starts having a go at Clarke because he thinks his fitness is not up to scratch. The great peace maker of our time Paolo Di Canio then gets involved and not surprisingly things go from bad to worse and from that point on Clarke is history.

To me, the way to address this would have been to take the player to one side before or after training and had a private chat about the issue and how to resolve it. The worst thing to have done was to march on to the pitch and start berating him in front of team mates, opponents and x thousand fans. This was highly unprofessional and not too many people would react positively to that.

Maybe that is not exactly how it happened but if it is, then the cunt in that sorry episode is the fitness coach, not Clarke. Perhaps I'm missing something - was there something else he did or said to warrant 'cunt' status?


Title: Re:
Post by: Benzel on Saturday, February 21, 2015, 10:13:24
As far as I remember it, the fitness coach was just chatting to him as they walked off and then Clarke started throwing a strop.

Post by: jutty274 on Saturday, February 21, 2015, 10:19:49
Not any of that really, but to have had so many clubs in such a short space of time means that there is something wrong with his attitude & pretty much that makes him a cunt. Anybody who has a chance at being a pro footballer should be grateful for it but he just seems to throw his toys out of the pram everytime it doesn't go his way. He always seems to move to a new club after a falling out with the manager, the only constant in this is him.

18 transfers in a modern 12 year professional career would suggest, to me, that he might not be the easiest footballer to deal with. They can't be all hard luck stories.

But Leon Clarke isn't someone I hate.

Depends on what he was saying though doesn't it? If it was just a 'chat', why throw a strop?

As for having a lot of Clubs, that's hardly worthy of 'cunt' status is it? And any way, Town fans had already bestowed that title on him before he'd even left us and that was about 6 Clubs ago. Jon Obika has had his fair share of Clubs, does that make him a cunt?

I agree. But does that warrant him being called the 'C' word? That's all I'm asking really - He's not done anything to us as far as I can tell. John McGinley for example, I can understand...

They have to have actually been good for us though. Once they left you never heard of them again. Tuomela fits 1 of the 2 criteria.

I was at that game as well btw. Juan Cobian played at right back, Mark Robertson (not Robinson) played in midfield and some some bloke Williams scored two goals. It was a good game actually, we won 3-2.

You need to define your criteria more clearly OST.....as I understand it you're after players who played well for us for the minimum of a season and preferably more....were rated here, got a seemingly decent move but for whatever reason didn't do much afterwards.  So you can't have Steve Foley, Chris Kamara or Ray MacHale.....I'd be tempted by Alan Mayes.

Sam Parkin is the perfect example Reg. Had an absolute purple patch with us which, when you look back was without doubt the best spell of his career.

11 goals before he came to us, 67 goals for us then 33 goals in the remainder of his career spread over 8 lower league or Scottish clubs.

Paynter is another classic example. Had a great spell with us (45 in 122), seemingly got a fantastic move to Leeds and has done bugger all since (16 goals in 4 and a bit seasons). So those are the criteria really.

Looking at Foley, he went on to play a fair few games for Stoke after us so that was erroneous on my part. I've not included Kamara or McHale any way.

Mayes - I don't know. Obviously he had a great initial spell here, went to Chelsea and actually had a respectable scoring record there (19 in 66 according to Wiki) then came back and did well again. After that he was just winding down his career really.

It's a nice little place, Dingwall and the scenery around it is amazing (as it is pretty much all over Scotland). The population is only 5,500 approx so to be surviving in the SPL (yes I know it's 'only' the SPL but nevertheless...) is pretty amazing

Recently, I was idly speculating about the historic Scottish counties/shires, having been to all English and Welsh....Ross County as in Ross and Cromarty stretched across to the Hebrides. I've been to most of the Scottish, but there are some oddities which would be worth visiting like Wigtownshire and Kircudbrightshire.....Nairn is another funny little one which I've missed.

Here's some trivia...

If you type in 'Wigtownshire' in google and do a map search, it gives you the precise location down to the nearest millimeter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society in North London.
If you do the same thing with 'Kircudbrightshire', it shows you the location of Hoseasons Holidays in Lowestoft.

How does that work?

I've been to Scotland a fair few times and 99% of it is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm useless on the counties though. I've definitely done Wigtownshire without knowing it (I've been to Stranraer) but I don't think I've been to Kircudbrightshire.

I love Scotland*.







*The only problem is, it's full of Jocks.

The Mull Of Kintyre is an amazing place. When we were there you could still see the scars in the earth from the Chinook crash about 4 years previously. You could also see right across to Northern Ireland.

I reckon I've been to about 20 out of those 30 counties Reg. I'll never remember all the names though.

I've always fancied a trip to the MoK....they are of course historic counties, and have been superceded for admin purposes, the same in Wales....not really sure in Scotland if people hang on to them like with Rutland here.

Then there's the 32 counties of Ireland...

Some news on Tyreke Johnson, the lad that joined Southampton in August surfaced today that may be of interest to some of you, was given the choice of first team football at Town this season or join Southampton's academy. Should he make the first team at Southampton we net £1.3m which is a tidy figure. Jamaica keen for him to link up with them now too so maybe in the future we will see some of that money.

No I doubt it is like that, I reckon it will be done in a series of installments over a certain amount of games, for example a certain fee for playing one and then certain points after that e.g 20 or 30 or 50. I highly doubt they would give us £1.3m for one game.

Not on the form he showed here. I think most of us would rated him above Hall but firmly below Pritchard and Mass.

Still, it's amazing what staying injury free and a good run of first team football can do - no doubt, game time is still the best thing for any footballer.

Spurs seem to think otherwise. I think he's improved since then though (but as Reg says on the other thread re Kane, a big part of that is the learning/development he did while he was here). We are a star factory :)

 Not strictly one of ours, more Supermarine, but I noticed Wayne Hatswell is currently asst manager/coach at Newport.

 I liked Wayne....classic comedy own goal, at FGR, then classic comedy stint at Oxford, who paid £35K for his services to aid their slide back to non league.

Never mention Hatswell's own goal without sharing. He joined Oxford a matter of weeks after that goal, which indeed caused much amusement at the time. However, it's harsh to attribute dearest Wayne to their Non-League slide as he left a couple of owners, managers and 4 years before their loving relegation in to the amateurs.

He will almost certainly leave them if and when they are relegated but I don't see Charlie with his history of medical problems being that much of a draw for any of the top 10 sides in the Premier League.

Shame because the guy is the best finisher I have ever seen in the box and witha  good service and better players around him will only get better.

Big career decision lies ahead for him.

I went to see him play a few weeks ago - Luçon v Red Star. Highlights of the game here:

Red Star has had a couple more ex-Swindon players in the last few years - Frédéric Darras and Philippe Cuervo, which is the reason I started following them (mind you, they've also had Tony Cascarino.....).

Plenty of European and indeed South American teams, have English names as they were founded by Brits. eg Athletic Bilbao, AC Milan, Genoa, Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Gijon, Newell's Old Boys

Don't forget STFC did much missionary work pre the Great War, for example winning the Dubonnet Cup in Paris, to demonstrate to the Fromage Munchers, how to play the beautiful game....and going on tour to Argentina in 1912, winning 6 and drawing 2 of the games played.  In fact, playing what might be considered the embryonic Albiceleste.

No they aren't. They're on 37 points with 9 available. They can catch Orient, Crawley,  Colchester and County. Admittedly, any one of those clubs only needs one point before it goes to goal difference. They are as good as down but not mathematically down yet.

Really? Those two most recent prolific strikers have gone on to find success without Paynter at a much higher level, and Billy has gone on to sitting on a variety of very large contracts with Northern clubs and done very little to justify them. He did a good job for us and I like the guy for that, but his career since has been dreadful.

Very, very nasty. And he looked like he didn't even want any treatment. He's tougher than he looks.

And Big Bad Barry is waging war single handedly on the Stevenage defence. It's a brutal game, it even looked like 56 year old Dave Beasant might have had to come on just now when the Stevenage keeper took a bang on the head.

Bostock would be good to have back, but whether he'd fit in with the group of lads is something to think about. The reason we've done so well this season I think is that the changing room is unified and everyone gets on really well. Would having a god-botherer added to the mix help that? He was at Spurs the same time as Yas and Byrne though, so maybe it'd be fine.

Joe Devera was an odd one, he looked half decent one minute, then shite the next. That's pretty much what Pompey thought of him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up back at Barnet.

Considering he was a regular in our promotion season and got into double-figures goalswise, it is amazing that we paid up his contract and released him on a free.

One thing I like about Power is that you do feel confident that he will get a good deal for STFC in any negotiations. I wonder just how much we'd have got for Ritchie or even Austin had Power been in charge of those transfers?

Either is fine, I have always been a football league standard player in the close season ;).

Reminds me of contract neogtiations between the old Fulham chairman Tommy Trinder, Johnny Haynes and Maurice Cook back in 1961...

Quote
Haynes was first in and the chairman was as good as his word. He emerged as England's first Pounds 100a-week player and gave his waiting colleagues the thumbs-up.

Among those who followed was centre forward Maurice Cook, who was told that his off-season summer wage would be Pounds 15 a week.

Cook protested about the disparity between this miserly sum and what Haynes was receiving.

'But Haynes is a far better player than you are,' Cook was told.

'Not in the fucking summer, he's not,' Cook retorted.

He has had to be really adaptable in his period here and he's ended up in the benchmark area of a 20 goal a season striker.

I'd say he was a victim of the system really. He'd have been a good winger, and a half decent full back. But a lad of his physique was never going to be up to the demands of wing back.

This was him at Weymouth back in 2006.

If I told him how his career would progress after then I don't think I or he would have believed it.

Really? Its not a higher standard of football. I would imagine its a higher standard of contract though. Really disappointed tbh. I would have hoped that the rhetoric about advancing through the leagues would have been true. However, it appears not to be the case.

A step down IMO, Rangers play in a league with a poorer standard than L1.

Still its a move to a big name club, good luck to him.

Post by: Sippo on Friday, July 3, 2015, 12:20:38
In their current league, I would say a step sideways. Long term, it's a good move for him and the Scottish Premiership is a better standard. Rangers definitely on the up, but what would be a concern for me is that Ashley bloke is involved...


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: McGurk's Missus on Friday, July 3, 2015, 12:24:39
Its only a step down/sideways if Warburton doesn't set out to do what he has said in 3 years. If they progress into the SPL next season (at the end of) then Wes will get great exposure on the International front as well as he'll feature in (like it or lump it) one of the biggest UK rivalry derbies around.

Like any move though, it'll only be good if he gets a chance to play, and when he does he'll have to be very good as the fans get very disillusioned very quickly up there. Take your Iron hat Wesleyy!

Post by: Swindon Please Win on Friday, July 3, 2015, 12:26:59
Good move for him, 1 season in the poor Scottish Championship and then they'll be pushing at the top of the SPL again and playing in Europe, can definitely see why he's moved there.

Luckily Swindon Town fans aren't his advisors.

Within that 3 year contract, Wes could/should be playing in Europe. Pay rise, innovative manager, big stadium, big fanbase, nice city. It's a no brainer.

Rangers sign goalkeeper Wes Foderingham

Rangers have signed former Swindon goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.
The 24-year-old has agreed a three-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months.
A youth international for England, Foderingham moved to the City Ground from Crystal Palace in 2012 following a successful loan spell.
He is new Ibrox manager Mark Warburton's third signing after the capture of defenders Danny Wilson and Rob Kiernan

Massive move for Wes.  Will be interesting to see how he copes in a much brighter spotlight than he has been used to in a 2 club city where the fans hate each other but if they can fulfil their plans he will be in Europe in 12 months time.

Dont be silly, whatever thier problems its Rangers who can pull 50k attendance at the drop of a hat. As others have said they'll be back near the top of SPL soon. That and although not foreign he gets to broaden his horizons.

Post by: WestYorksRed on Friday, July 3, 2015, 22:57:50
Disagree with a couple of comments about the SPL being a better standard. There's Celtic then the rest. Adam Rooney got quite a few up there last season and he hardly shot the lights out for us. Jake Jervis also played up there having been unable to make much progress in lower league football in England. Watched some SPL games on TV last season with an Aberdeen supporting mate, I'd have put what I saw on a par with Lg1.

Anyway good luck to Wes, gave us great service over four seasons and was fantastic to watch his development. Can't recall many mistakes at all in the 30 odd games I saw him play for us. Hope it works out for him.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Costanza on Saturday, July 4, 2015, 07:56:02
Footballers don't think the same way as fans do.

Pay cheque.
Opportunities.
Success.

I'm sure Wes won't be irked by the fact he has to play Alloa Athletic next season if it means he gets more achievements during his career. He won't think 'yeah but it's only a Scottish Championship medal' just as he didn't care it was 'only a L2 medal'.

Teams like Birmingham and Reading offered a 'better standard' of football but what else? A spirited 10th place? A plucky cup run in which they beat Sunderland? Great.

Being a first choice goalkeeper is one of the toughest things to achieve in professional football. He's made the right choice.

Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, July 4, 2015, 08:22:26
It's a decent move for Wes, anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themself. Even with Rangers playing in the Championship rather than the SPL, it's still a massively high profile Club (how many of their games did Sky show last season - and the season before for that matter? It was a hell of a lot).

And as Costanza says, GK is a unique position and the opportunity to be number 1 at a club like that would be very hard to turn down. Add to that, he's going to get a few medals and will probably be back in the SPL next season and Europe not long after. It was a no-brainer.

I think it reads more like they are not up for first team yet and therefore more likely to go out on loan again. Presumably to a second div club to prove they're progressing. I'd be happy to see them back here, especially in a 442 / 433.

Mass played for QPR, Gladwin not even on bench. Andy Williams played 82 mins for Donny.  If Jack Stephens plays today for Smoggies, then he'll be meeting up with Preston again, which wil be nice for him.

Foderingham may have saved a pen on Friday, there was one missed but I don't whether it was a save or off target effort.

Williams started for Donny yesterday

Post by: Quagmire on Friday, August 21, 2015, 00:09:23
I was told a year or so ago that Austin would never get a top premier league club because his knees are shot to bits, didn't think much of it at the time but the longer it goes on the more believable it becomes.
I don't think QPR's price tag to to high when you look at the money being offered for players like Jordan Rhodes, Dwight Gayle and Andre Gray. £15m for a player who scored close to 20 goals last least season, so I am starting to this maybe his knees aren't great.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: DV on Friday, August 21, 2015, 09:10:26
If he does have those medical issues - do you not think (like Hull) someone would have agreed a fee, spoken to the player....and then the transfer breaks down due to a failed medical.

There is no way in this day and age you could get that far into any transfer deal without it being in the media...

Still seems odd that there has been no major bids yet. How many teams squads would he not improve? Not many...

He'll have got his move by deadline day. It's usually the case with top strikers. Many go then and QPR for once are playing hardball. They know someone will come in and make a desperate bid. I'm surprised Bristol haven't put their £20m bid in yet.....

Carrick did ok there after learning his trade with us.

If you were a ManU fan, you'd be pretty disappointed to be in for a bargain basement player with dodgy joints (ahem) who they aren't having to fight off Barça, Real or ManC for.

Also reports on twitter that it was started by a parody account. Odds being slashed are probably bookies just covering their arse, can't see it in all honesty. Would be a hell of a move for him, hope it's true, but just can't see it.

Having said that, £15M to Man Utd is fuck all, and could be a gamble worth taking. He'd easily get 20+ a season in that team.

They have a listen again facility, most of the Swindon chat is in the first 30 mins, 10.00 - 10.30 pm. And it wasn't Owen Dawson who scored the goal v Shrews when we finally got out of Div 3, it was Roger Smart...

Serious but probably stupid question (call me a cunt) but why has his career stagnated so badly? Admittedly he was probably never going to be playing in a triangle so sexy at other clubs but surely he demonstrated enough capability at Town to do better than he has. I'm assuming injury? Just curious.

I agree. He always showed the skill and technique but thought he might be a little but lightweight. Seems to be doing well and maybe he has a bit more protection in the PL than he was afforded in D3 to enable him to play to his strengths.

The whole sentence is tres amuseant (see what you can learn in a french speaking country PP)

Miles Storey’s enjoyed a sprightly start to his career at the Caley Jags, and he was alert to capitalise on Morgyn Neill’s careless header back to his own keeper. Once presented with an open goal though, he had the chance to finish with an air of superiority, like dispatching your cack-handed pal at pool by slamming the black home, or giving your nephew such a brutal and dispiriting lesson in Mouse Trap that the wee dafty can’t concentrate on his three times table the next day. With the lead-footed panic of a man who’d been in Scottish football far longer than 192 minutes though, Storey somehow contrived to tread on the ball before quickly prodding it home in the hope no-one had noticed. No wonder he didn’t celebrate; that could’ve got hella embarassing.

It'd certainly be incredible if we paid any money up front for him. I hardly think our wheeler dealer chairman, who's been great at getting decent fees for players, decides to spend £100k on someone who's never scored a professional goal.

At least they'll have a decent centre back again next season.

'Smith is fascinating to watch. Every ball, whether it be in the air or to feet, bounces off him at the most extraordinary angles and out of play/to an opposition player. He also contrives to win as little as possible in the air despite being 6ft 4in. I also don't think I've seen him have a shot yet.

If we had a focused Michael Smith playing for us, this season we wouldn't currently be in this shit. Probably our best performance of the season was away at Southend, certainly the only clean sheet....one of Michael's last games for us.

I'm in the minority I know, but I think that there is a very good Lge 1 striker in Michael Smith, unfortunately lack of confidence (from the whole team) along with him being the next scapegoat, and the fact that he wants to move North means that it probably ain't gonna work for him now though..

I don't think that is the reason why he is playing bad though, I think we already broke him over the last 6 months before his move oop north.  When he first came in he looked decent.  His town career has gone a lot like Andy Williams, without the injury.

Mighty Mike scored 15 league goals for us last season, Wes Thomas has only bettered that once some 5 years ago at Cheltnum.  In recent years he goes out on loan plays a handful of games, scores a few then is injured,.....those relying on Wes being the man to keep us up are likely to disappointed.

It's not just about the goals, it's also closing down, link up play and defending corners etc and being on the pitch more often than not.

Many of our more mongular fans expect something like a Didier Drogba....if Smith had just that bit extra in terms of touch etc, he'd be playing higher than Div 3.

Smith, Andy Williams and Obika were all playing well until January when someone (Cooper or Luke Williams) started playing Tinkerman and going one upfront and experimenting with 6 in midfield.

Can see Michael Smith back here in January

I'm going to jump in and stick up for Michael Smith as well. He looked pretty average when he first started with us (I remember Notts County away two seasons back when some bloke shouted after 80 mins "oi, Smith, you look like you've just picked your kit off the ironing board...), but thought he contributed in a big way last season. Games I saw him play, he would often be a handful for the other team's centre backs, he always put in a shift for the greater good even when things not going his way and never went missing. He also showed good feet at times, good goal v Orient away, great goal against Scunthorpe away. On balance I felt we were stronger with him than without him. There, I rest my case for the defence - if circumstances dictate that he ends up back with us at some point, that wouldn't be such a bad thing to happen in my book.

He was another of those players who I hoped would become better as he played more and at one stage began to look the part until the wheels fell of the whole shebang. Who is to tell that under a different Town manager he may have found his form, we may know come January but doubtful I guess.

I think it was a combination of Jed and Black.

We just went for whoever gave us the most upfront cash for him.  Hence the low price/no sell on.
If we hadn't sold, Jed wouldn't be able to cover our wages, then we'd have gone into Admin (or worse).

At least, that's my take on what happened based on the info Black (and others) since relayed.

Is there some sort of 3 strikes and you're out when it comes to going into administration?
No. But technically, it's a court-granted dispensation to clear debts etc. And if you keep going into administration on a repeated basis, there's going to come a point when the court will say "Hang on, you're taking the piss here" and refuse to grant the administration order. And then if you genuinely don't have the money to keep going (i.e. you weren't taking the piss just to dodge debt) you may well find that the alternative is liquidation/receivership. Apologies if I've got some of the technical bits wrong, but that's the process as I understand it. May have changed in the last 10 years though.

The Michael Smith review:

There's summat not reight with M Smith. His record last season suggests he's a decent to good striker but this manager can't get anything out of him.

Smith is a very curious one. You can't say he is missing "the south" because he is a north easterner and, I believe, all his family are up there. This was probably a good move for him, so why he is playing like he has treacle on the bottom of his boots I don't know. He can't jump, he can't run and how many shots on goal has he had since he arrived? Not many is the answer to that. Needs to go back to Swindon, and this week not in January.

Its hard to say, but i am pretty sure we haven't seen what he can do at this level especially as he has been typically brought on late in games we are normally losing and in a losing mentality squad.

I think his next move will be a league lower. Will start regularly and start scoring again. There is something in him and I was well pleased when he first signed. I'm not sure what style Barnsley play but are formation doesn't suit, a team with wingers and he could be dangerous again.

But we were oh so close to getting £600,000 for him before Blades sacked Clough.

What's he worth now? Not fucking much.

The same applies to Kasim. His worth is dropping game by game.

So that's 2 assets we could have sensibly expected £1-1.5m for that are now peanuts players.

True but look at the uproar our player sales already received. People slating the Bryne transfer when out of contract. It's early days but would any of the players we sold go for the same value now? I don't think so. The deals we made were very good at the time

How many different managers have been unconvinced by him though both ours and the likes of Pompey and Newport. Outside the top 3 or 4 in the SPL it's below league 1 standard. Owain Fon-Williams being a case in point, relegated from the football league for Tranmere last season and now first choice at ICT.
I watched a bit of the game early and apart from the goal Storey looked very lost at times and doesn't really defend from the front. If he doesn't score he ends up just looking like a passenger which is why I think we've given up.

People assume that Storey would want to play for Swindon. I imagine both sides want this relationship to end.

...and Inverness Caley Thistle are a who's who of L2 level players. The SPL is an unbalanced mess.

Storey isn't good enough but that said I think that about a few of the players gettting games here currently.
The Thompson's are definitely not the norm too. Most lads that come through from the youths get a year or two with minimal games under their belts, get released then end up in the Hellenic or southern league.

Bristol City should add this to their club crest.  Under the '1982' bit, they could add 'We never quite cut it in Division Two.'

Under that, they could also add 'Our owner funds losses of £12m/year.  Why?'

Under that, 'Massive stadium.  Going to look a bit daft in League 1 next year when Scunthorpe visit on a wet Tuesday in January.'

In some ways they are suffering in a similar way to ourselves.

Our slight upturn in results has coincided with chucking the 352 for the simple reason we don't have effective wingbacks.

City have kept the 352 but again their wingbacks from last  season can't cut it in L1. You soon get found out in the Championship.

Still don't think they will go down

To be fair most of Williams' misses were when literally nobody could score a penalty. The only explanation I could imagine was that training was some kind of its a knockout thing where they made them run across a bouncy castle and roundabout covered in custard before they took a shot.

It wasn't just him, anyway..

You're right though. It's far more believable than someone "hacking" him. I get that you can't come out and say sorry I was pissed, but this "I was hacked" stuff is pretty much nonsensical. He's not bloody Beyoncé. No one is going to bother hacking his account, and it's not like it was a separate fake one which fools people because they've replaced an L with an I which looks the same in some fonts.

I was in Suffolk over Christmas and went to see Ipswich against QPR on boxing day. Douglas was in midfield for Ipswich, scored a scrappy overhead kick but was pretty poor throughout. Grant Hall was in the back 4 for QPR and looks a much, much better player than his time here. No appearance for Mass. Both teams were pretty poor to be honest, not a good advert for Championship football at all.

It won't be down to the fans reaction Reg. It'll be what's right (development, financially) for QPR.

Gladwin needs to improve his off the ball work. If he doesn't do that he won't go anywhere. If he can't take that criticism then he may as well forger championship football.

We are sure going to miss him going forward though..

Not seen much of Bristol City this season, do they need a lethargic midfielder? Not knocking Gladwin who is class on his day (and I wonder if he was a bit peeved to end up here again this season - hence some of his less energetic performances) but he is not the sort of player I would choose for a relegation dogfight!

Jesus some people though.  He was with us a year and a bit.  There must be a time limit before you call a player 'Swindon through and through' and a Judas for leaving.

To be fair, I never considered him to be the finished article.  Lazy and slow but capable of really good stuff when the mood took him.

Good luck to him.

Maybe slow to get back might be a better description. Maybe he can get forward a bit swift but he doesn't seem to be quick on the way back. Languid maybe. Like A very much less skilful chris waddle.

Gladwin

Pros: Can pick a pass. Can strike a shot. Can take players on. Can drive a team forwards.
Cons: Doesn't chase back, poor work rate off ball, can't tackle, shrinks when he tries to head the ball.

If he can address his work rate/defensive side of his game he'll got further. If not he'll be back in league 1.

Thus endeth the dissection.

Looks like it will be leaving it to the last minute again....I'm guessing we'd have got Gladwin back if nobody else was interested, and the same will probably apply with Louis, Jack Stephens coming in, and Kasim, Michael Smith and Ajose going out.

Alternatively, if he finds a manager who plays him in a position with less/no defensive responsibilities, and a fan base that doesn't equate being good with running around then he could go on to have a good career at a decent level

Gladwin has come a long way in a short time. Who knows how far he can go ? Personally I think league 1 is probably his level but that's just my guess. Maybe he could shine in a progressive championship side ?(not convinced shitty are that at all mind)
If he can cut out the over doing it on the ball and recovers better when possession is lost then he could push on. He has ability undoubtedly.

17 goals with relegated QPR, had little injury worries recently (was out at start of transfer window -a little suspicious) and a blind man could see how he could score for anyone. Typical shit scouting by foreign obsessed scouts.

He had to be in the right position to bury it though. He always seems to be there, very Lineker like. Could be the Euro's version of Toto Schillaci if Roy took a gamble on him.

There were two reasons Charlie went cheap.

Southampton got a good deal. A player is only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Doesn't necessarily mean they are a better or worse player.

Maximum points and a place in the top half of the table were secured for Inverness when the impressive Miles Storey dinked a ball into the six-yard box and a stretching Taylor could only steer the ball towards Tremarco, who nodded home at the back post.

'He' impressing over the border. I suspect this is where he'll end up for the next few seasons.

Yes! Perhaps Kayden was just on the bench. Which was still an achievement - I'm sure the name rings a bell for some reason beyond just winning the contract. Either that or I met him in a pub. My memory is stupidly bad.

Kayden Jackson was probably the only Samsung winner who people talked about getting a chance in the first team yet didn't even make the bench (which all the others did as a minimum).

Jordan Pavett made the bench under Paul Bodin, never played.
Chris Smith featured in more squads than any other Samsung winner, played at Bradford.
Kayden Jackson spent almost all his out on loan, never played.

Limited ability? He may not be a maestro with the ball at feet, but positionally, in the air, and in a one on one situation, he's incredibly good. He's also worth his weight in gold at set pieces. He's score more than anyone in our side except the front 2.

He may not be everyone's cup of tea on a personal level, but so far as taking players out of non league and developing them, he's as good a find as Gladwin. Not an Austin mind.

I thought Billy a very promising player with us, and his goals-to-game rate wasn't far off Matt Ritchie's from a similar position. Good to see him making an impact, albeit with a team followed by knuckle-draggers.

I am sure Reg and a few of the older posters here will be able to tell you a bit more, but I know he never played first team for us back in the mid 60's but I do remember him playing for Pompey against us a few times, big old lump of a centre back.

Here's a post of mine from 2008 on the subject.....

 Speaking of Hands, the subject of those that got away often crops up and it reminded me of Eoin Hand.

 He was a big strong Irish centre half, who we brought over from Drumcondra, around 64 as an 18 year old...this was Bert Head time and he and his staff could spot a player.

 Hand never made it past the stiffs, which was a shame as we struggled for a centre half at the time.  He went back to Drumcondra, came over to Pompey a couple of years later, and played over 250 games for them and gained about 18 or 19 ROI caps.

 Later still he ended up managing the ROI, before Jack Charlton, and now works as a pundit for RTE.

I did a quiz a while back where there was a picture round of footballers whose names were occupations....I was quite confident no-one else was getting Mel Nurse, especially as it was a pic when he was about 17.

I noticed recently that the Windies have a lad called Ashley Nurse, who seemingly represents the future and only plays 20-20...I did wonder if he's related to Seymour Nurse, but don't know.

Simon Ferry's cup final diary is, unsurprisingly, an entertaining read.

On Paolo:

Quote
He also knew everything that went on. I don’t know how he managed to find it all out — but he missed nothing.

I remember he caught a few of us going out on a Saturday night before a Tuesday game and wasn’t happy.

He told me to see him in his office and when I walked in, he was sitting at his desk in just his pants.

I couldn’t concentrate properly again.

Di Canio sat me down, pointed to his body and told me I could play at a higher level if I lived my life properly — like he did.

To be fair, he was still in good nick. In the pre-season runs, he would be up with the top group even though he was in his 40s.

"I've never heard anything, but what will happen, just from being in the game a long while, is that Miles Storey will probably move somewhere on the back of the season he has had here," said the Caley Thistle boss.

"And that will not be his choosing. It will probably be the agent trying to cash in.

"If Miles Storey wanted to come back here for roughly the same deal then we would jump at it."


Really? If anything this seems to suggest that 'he' is a bit dim and easily led leaving his agent to cash in whilst also paying him for the privilage, doesn't seem the words of a manager desperately trying to persuade a player to stay?

I am pretty sure Jimmy Quinn and Andy Rowland have done the same playing for Swindon as fill in keepers, I know Handy Andy definately saved one when he went in goal after Endersby or Allen was sent off or taken off injured in the old div 3 or 4.

Didn't Alan MacDonald save a pen at Loftus Road after Digby was sent off?

No unfortunately not, he did however keep a clean sheet with his 70 mins in goal. with a bit more luck than judgement at times!

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

I checked back and Andy Rowland did save a penalty away at Newport in 1980 when Jimmy Allan went off injured in the 20th minute in a 2-0 win.

I am pretty sure Jimmy Quinn did the same too but can't remember who against.

Are you sure Andy R saved a pen ? ....I was at that match and remember he made a number of decent saves. Long time ago now so entirely posible I've forgotten. Animal Williams got injured and as we had no more subs, he got bandaged up like a mummy and stood out on the wing, which was the usual way...players would hobble around maybe take a throw in or lump the ball if it came their way.

The only time I recall Jimmy Q going in goal was the infamous Skoda Hubcap game, where Fraser got sent off at 2-0 up and we lost 3-2. v Shots at the CG.

Could well be my memory but I was sure Andy saved a penalty, may not have been that game as he did fill in a couple of times between the sticks, but I was sure it was that one, then again I can barely remember last week let alone a game I went to 35+ years ago :D

I noticed that, hes played a total of 70 mins I think somebody said on the Grimsby forum and hes only played two games. Played for their reserves for 45 mins last week too.

Their fan recon he looks much better than Monkhouse on the wing yet can't even get on the bench but they say hes not injured.

Monkhouse must be getting on a bit now.  Always used to annoy me how he'd celebrate his inevitable goal in front of the TE, like he'd been some sort of fans scapegoat....wasn't our fault Sturrock didn't rate him.

36 later this year, still plodding on and their fans don't seem to like him much. And yes he always seemed to score against us, whether or not thats true I don't know but he always seemed to score.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Toffo back if we offload BOO because of the "bonggate" (in the words of Batch).

Much as I dislike him I would jump at the chance of Beckford coming here...but we couldn't get near his wages and the fact that hes not played for a southern based club since he left Wealdstone 10 years ago..

I'm not so sure as i think personally that position has been a big let down this year. LWB have to be able to do both going forward and defending for me and personally think they both struggle at both of those things.

Grimsby have National Play-Offs and the FA Trophy Final so need extra to compliment this. Personally, I never saw Jordan Stewart's move there to be anything more than back-up.

Don't get me wrong, so would I - but we're no going to triple up on positions when other areas are so weak. If BOO goes (which, let's face it, would be incredibly harsh) the HT would be an excellent addition, as he would be as first choice LB for any side in this division.

I can't really disagree with both points and his touch did frustrate the hell out of me.

That said, he scored 15 goals for us last season (albeit in a better side) so he can't be a total donkey.

Clearly though, he didn't want to be here anymore, which was a shame as we were crying out for goalscorers when Ajose and Obika were both out.

He didn't do that badly scoring that goal against Shitty going past a few players in a tight penalty area (including Flint) and putting the ball in the bottom corner...

The management seemed to write-off Smith after the Play-Offs (rightly or wrongly).

Smith himself said that his Barnsley spell killed off his homesickness. Whether that's because he realised the career of a professional footballer is fleeting or because it's grim up north, I don't know.

Smith always looked like the odd man out technically when compared to the rest of that team.
Having said yhat, a hard worker and should be looking at 10-15 goals per season at LG1 or LG2 level.

Right, so Willo, who we couldn't afford in the summer, is going to tear up the remaining 2 years of a lucrative 3 year contract to take a pay cut and return to the CG where he got slaggeed off by many in the crowd. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings Bob, but I don't think it works like that. Willo's basically a lower league striker he should do alright for Donny in Div 4, if they do drop.

I would imagine he has a relegation clause. I don't believe Donny are amazing payers, I reckon he'd take a cut to come back here but I still doubt we'd be able to meet demands he has.

I would imagine he has a relegation clause. I don't believe Donny are amazing payers, I reckon he'd take a cut to come back here but I still doubt we'd be able to meet demands he has.

But it's a moot point anyway, I don't think we'll go for him.

AW will be 30 at the start of the season...not our sort of thing even if, willing to pay. When his Donny contract expires he'll be 32.  We'd be more likely to sign the AW equivalent at the Hereford academy, if they've got one.

Just going on Williams statement that he was joining Doncaster with a view to challenging for promotion.
So, if they do get relegated, then he might not be happy playing at LG2 level, plus Donny could be looking at cutting costs.

On that basis, he could be worth the offer of a one year shit or bust contract plus the fee,
and Power has shown willing to break the wage structure re Ajose.
The potential return with Williams being a 15-20 goal gamble and at least a play off challenge as opposed to any resale value.

Having said that, can't see it happening, but at least we would know what we were getting.

He didn't do that badly scoring that goal against Shitty going past a few players in a tight penalty area (including Flint) and putting the ball in the bottom corner...

He just hated being up front on his own....along with every striker that's at the club.

So one game out of how many??? (Flint has a turning circle of an articulated lorry also)

Summer of69 could have given several examples of matches in which Smith played very well in last season, aside from the City winner I remember him most fondly for the double in the play off 2nd leg.

Yes, he has his flaws but lets not pretend he wasn't of any use last season because he certainly was. It has rightly been pointed out we could have done with him rather than the ineffective Hylton the past few weeks.

I'll put a case for the defence of Smith as well: last season, good goal at Orient away, great goal against Scunthorpe away although the latter maybe not the best match to cite given the end result. Ok he had a bit of a 50 pence head at times but always put in a shift in the games I saw him play last season. Can't comment on Wembley, have obliterated it from my memory.

But we are still talking about flashes in the pan from Smith, it wasn't consistent, hes flaws outweighed the good.

You rate Smith I don't. He put a shift in, well Blair Sturrock used to put a shift in too. It could go on and on He's not here no more, move on.

You do realise we're in Div 3? Michael Smith is still youngish and showed himself to be a decent player, although this season has been a write off for him.

Blair was never more than a squad player, who played for us without pay in the dog days of Diamond Mike....helped get us out of Div 4, so I see that as largely credit in his column.

I'm with Derby on this one...smith is 24 and his biggest flaw is is 1st touch. If he ain't put the work in to perfect this at his age then he ain't going to. Div 4 or conference is his level. Fuck knows what clough saw in him to think he was worth over £500k but I'm gutted we didn't get rid. Beeks is 25 and they are worlds apart in terms of quality.

Last season, which was our highest finish in the 21st Century in Div 3, MS played in 43 games, scored 15 goals, and a couple more in the PO's.

Clough, would know that if he could get something like that out of Smith, they'd be challenging....for whatever reason it's gone pear shaped for him this season; Lee Johnson, who appears to be no mug, thought the same.

tbf I'm not sure a direct comparison is at all fair, Obika's all round game is far more polished than Smith's and goals alone do not reflect his contribution to the team.

Smith was not much of a target man, he was inconsistent but showed flashes of skill

They're both decent players. This season Mighty Mike has gone backwards, Super Jon has made some progress....he needed to mind at 25, Whether it will be enough, to get him a decent move, we'll have to wait and see, but my guess is there won't be queue at Power's door.  It might mean he'll go off somewhere like an Adam Rooney or James Collins on the Sweatie run.

You could argue the turning point in Smith's career at Swindon was when we stopped playing 2 up front from end of January and brought in the extra midfielder for the latter part of the season.

We rotated Williams, Obika and Smith fantastically well through the November to December patch but as we brought the Asian Cup two back in, Cooper or Luke, decided to play Tinker man.

From 3 in form strikers fighting for 2 places it was 3 into 1 and all of their form dropped off. Got the feeling Smith was a confidence player and once that got rocked he dropped away.

Somebody posted me a link to the That's Football documentary the other day, and when OST put us 3 up at Wembley, the commentator said that was his 13th goal of the season. Has a Swindon centre-half ever beaten that total?

I don't think any defender has scored more in any one season although Rowland and Owen both moved back to CB at the end of their careers their higher scoring seasons were as outright centre forwards.

Bodin did score 12 goals in the same 92/93 season from left back which is the same number of league goals as OST got (OST scored one in the coca cola cup to make his total 13).

Mark Cooper Forest Green manager!
This is looking increasingly likely, an announcement is due from the board of Notts County after todays game. Apparently he was only offered a contract until the end of this season.

http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Forest-Green-Rovers-NEWS-Mark-Cooper-set-named/story-29242158-detail/story.html#ixzz47wqOXlmL

And if so he is signing off with a total hammering at home by Carlisle...5-0 with 10 mins left.

Robson-Kanu is probably a case of wanting to progress elsewhere while he still can.

Alas, Coxy hasn't had a great time over the last few seasons. He'll be looking to the lower reaches of The Championship for first team football. I could see him at a club like Millwall if they won the PO's.

Unless he fancies some low wages and Irish football at dear ol' Swindon, of course.

If I remember the club took some stick from the usual suspects for not re-signing him, looks like a good decision with his injury record. Although he would have fitted in quite well this season & spent most of it injured.

It is a real shame for him though, when fit he was actually quite good

if I sounded like I was defending the deal then I'm not. I'm mightily pissed off at Black over bailing in the way he did.

All I was trying to give was context, that they weren't seeking the best deal, just the biggest lump sum up front.

it was always a shit deal, then and now.

my gut feel is Black would have pulled the plug regardless of the consequences, and that with the spend we had, coupled with the fact Black stitched us up with Jed, I do feel it was heading to admin.

The Ritchie deal was first suggested in the Autumn of 2013 and didn't we reject an offer early in the window.

I was thinking yesterday if we had accepted the deal earlier and negotiated it properly could that money have given the Black the breathing space financially to have held on to the end of the season?

It would also have forced the issue earlier with PdC whether he wished to stick it out and, if he had gone, make a more measured appointment rather than the rushed KMac in March.

Half the issue with Black was the baggage/stress with PdC chopping and changing of the squad costing money all the time. You'd have thought any half decent League 1 manager might have taken on that squad under the Black structure.

All its and ands now but a Sliding Doors moment in STFC history!

I was there and spoke to Cooper before the game. It was clear the game was a bit of an interference and he played the youths. (and a tricky winger called Romeo who looked good but was never signed) Young ginger Tom Smith came on as a sub and immediately gave a goal away and was generally hopeless. Good to see he has come on since then and looks a talented player (if he can get over his bad injuries)

I remember him at home to Port Vale, he came charging out, only to misjudge the bounce - the ball skidded on, bounced over him, and the striker nipped into score. Otherwise, he wasn't bad. Seemed a level headed player and glad to see him doing well now. Had Carrick been in the squad, we could have had four ex town players on the pitch tonight.

James Hook is a niche market this side of the Severn....I'm not sure I'd get him in a quiz picture round. I did get Jamie Roberts recently, mainly because of his medical stuff, which put me in mind of Jonathan Webb, who was probably the last of the amateur English rugby playing doctors.

He was very inconsistent. When I first saw him I thought what a tidy, tough tackling player who was as good as those that had left in the close season. Had the potential to be a fans favourite with his aggressive attitude. As the season progressed however his performances didn't hit the same heights and like Robert  he ultimately flattered to deceive. It was therefore the right decision to release him, even without taking in to account the laughing gas incident.

He did miss a number if games for "personal reasons", is it possible that also had an impact on him not being offered a new contract.

As Bob said he did come on and change games a couple of times, particularly Peterborough away, although I think that was partly because it freed up Doughty to play a more attacking role

He did miss a number if games for "personal reasons", is it possible that also had an impact on him not being offered a new contract.

As Bob said he did come on and change games a couple of times, particularly Peterborough away, although I think that was partly because it freed up Doughty to play a more attacking role
A bit of both for sure, not much got passed him and his distribution was good.

One of those where I'm not sorry to see him go and wouldn't have been disappointed had he stayed.

One things for sure, he was nowhere near Div 3 level.

Anyone who attended away games such as Shrewsbury and Peterborough is likely to strongly disagree with this comment. Right, he wasn't much use at home, when we spent about 80% of the time chasing games. But when we got a goal in front and needed someone off the bench to calm things down, put a foot on the ball and do the basics right, he was ideal.

The reason I moaned about it is that he is the same age as my lad and was in the youth cricket team that I coached. I hoped that he would make it as a pro. Disappointing when you hear bad news about someone you know, especially as, given the back end of the year before, it looked as if he was on the verge of a breakthrough season last year.

Absolutely no chance. The chinese can keep throwing their money at players that arent at the top level, if they are giving players like pelle and kanu top dollar like that imagine what it will cost to get a proper up coming world class talent. the chinese league will always be the chinese league. something that no one will have dreams to play in when coming through the football ranks

Not really, just reflects the huge over-inflation of player transfer values all the way up and down the scale. Apparently £30m is now considered "average" in the PL, making £6m in the "bargain bin" or "worth a punt" category. Actually, you're right, that is madness, but it's not solely around Brad Smith

Likewise....this sort of thing is annoying, I remember having a whip round when we played Tranmere back in early Div 4 days, so that their team bus could be paid for....later some Tranny knobheads, were waving imaginery £notes at us lot protesting round the back of the Arkells.

Seriously that is just fucking mad though isn't it.  22 years old, 21 appearances, 11 of them at lowly Swindon and 6m is being spunked on him.  The gap between leagues is just ridiculous.

He'll probably prove me wrong and go on to have a stellar career now.

Does seem a lot of money, Joe Allen (in the European Cup team of the tournament) sold for £13m and Brad Smith £6m!  Thought he was decent enough with pace but not somebody I would not want us to even punt a £1m on!  Has to be said that those transfer figures are paper/tv talk, and just like STFC you will never know the truth!

If they donated about £50 (that we all probably gave them) to Town, admitted Ritchie didn't want to go there, and got a special shirt commissioned for their next season's no 10 that just says "SORRY" on the back and "we know we're a pissy little club that don't deserve top flight football" on the front, I might forgive them.

But they won't, will they?

I don't really care about Bournemouth, or Brentford, or other teams that spend beyond their means. It'd be hypocritical to do so after all considering our fairly recent past with PDC, Wray, Black et al. I wouldn't to be too adverse to a sugar-daddy at STFC. It may be a myopic view, but it would be fun... while it lasted.

If they're spending money that they don't have then it'll catch up with them sooner or later. Or not. *shrugs shoulders*

What does bother me is that while we are/were criticised for overspending, other clubs that were doing EXACTLY the same thing, often on a grander scale, somehow escaped criticism altogether. Sometimes the criticism came from fans of the clubs that were overspending more than we were.

I remember Wilder moaning about our spending when we won the L2 title, only for it to be revealed that they lost about 4M the same year?

Exactly.

I was being sarcastic in my last post (I hoped that was obvious but just in case!) but what I generally find infuriating is the disparity between cheating and fairytale. It all fits a certain narrative, I suppose. But over spending is over spending.

And, as I've said before, I judge clubs (in as much as you can) by their fans, and Bournemouth have some real dickheads in my experience.

Doesn't mean I want everyone who supports them to drown in a lake of fire, or that I wouldn't want STFC to be in the Premiership (I'm not sure, but it's irrelevant to the argument).

I just don't like them because of the hypocrisy and the twattery of their fans.

Doesn't this apply to most clubs though? See our special FB page for fan twattery. Plus most of us loved the overspending of the PDC period *at the time* (because we were winning and didn't think the money would run out) and labelled criticism by the likes of Graham Turner as bitterness. Due to our chequered financial past, I should imagine other team's fans could equally accuse us of hypocrisy during the Black/PDC period in the same way as some of us are criticising Bournemouth now?

It is an old argument we've had many times.  I dont consider it to be their fault more the fault of the continual media 'fairytale' narrative that drives me mad. 

The merciless nature they had to take Ritchie when we were up shit creek was excellent business for them but that couple with us having put money in their buckets and all the fairytale crap has certainly made them a bete noire for me.

I think that's what I just explained?

I judge them on that because it's the only thing I can judge them on - I "hate" them because some of their fans are pricks. That's part of the fun of football rivalry if you want to put it like that. There are people I'm sure who hate us because some of our fans are pricks, and that's fair enough. As long as it doesn't leave the ground and a flick through the leagues in the newspaper that's pretty much how football is, isn't it? I mean I don't want to go mad but I've met some nice people in Oxford.. ! But I still "hate" them.

The hypocrisy was annoying because it came not only from them but the media, and even people with only a passing interest in football. Whatever we did in the past is irrelevant to our current situation, give or take, but we always seem to be judged for it.

Call it a persecution complex if you will, but who helped us when we were on our arse?

Yeah, I'm not bitter about the whole Ritchie thing. Basically what I'm trying to say is it's possible to dislike Bournemouth without hoping they all die, or not wanting a man to spend money on your team, or accepting you've fucked up previously.

TBF it was a very well taken goal (and I was 30 at the time ;) ) Hull were dire that day at the leagues whipping boys, going down in 24th place with a low points total.

I remember at one point we put together about 100 passes without Hull touching the ball for around 5 mins of the game (usual shouts of Olé with every touch) fast, decisive passing with strong defending...it can be done ;) .

We did have a team head and shoulders above any other team in the league that season. I did expect grant to go on to bigger better things but he didn't really.

He didn't really blame the players a lot when he was here though did he? In fact most of what he said was defending them - they're young, inexperienced etc. Covertly blaming Power / the STFC 'system' perhaps, but not them. Most of his bitching has come after the fact.

Still coming across as a bit of a cock though.

Speaking of cocks, I hope Pritchard does well in his career, but I'll mainly remember him for 2 things: 1) Free Kicks and 2) When his misses had a meltdown on twitter after he banged our secretary. I hate how much I enjoyed that.

Paul Allen tore their young left back apart; you almost felt sorry for the lad. At one point Allen started hopping - I think he was sledging the LB with "I can beat you on one leg".

One of Newcastle's better players. Always wants the ball and had their best chance which I guess was blocked by a defender. Will be a very good signing for them I reckon.

PdC fell out with him....we hoped to get a fee, but the best deal all round was a season long loan to Brum.  When that expired, Jed/Power had taken over Caddis was a high earner so that getting him off the books made sense. Don't forget this regime sold Ritchie for 400K a few months earlier....

I may be thinking of the original deal, when PdC took umbrage....Caddis went on a season loan. We hoped to cash in on a player who'd skippered a Div 4 championship side...but the best to do was the season loan.  Either way we didn't get full value for a player we'd paid Celtic some money for.  Not one of PdC's smarter moves.

Reading the old threads on the Brum forum we originally wanted £400k for Caddis that then went down to £350k after the loan then down to £150k plus add ons up to a value of between £275k and £300k as Brum couldn't raise the money for the transfer all in one go at the time as they were still paying Zigic £50k a week!

I am sure we have a decent add on if Sheff Utd pay in excess of what Brum paid for him.

I guess when it is just the local press involved you can get away with being more prickly.  At league one level you have more national press and TV radio outlets always in attendance so you have to be a little more careful of what you say and how you say it..

Dear ol' Flinty doesn't appear to be getting the interest that was expected.

He's a very good defender but he still gets turned way too easily, I'm convinced that Premier scouts are on to him.

Also, he's got it very good at Bristol City.

Fully agree with you. Good old style centre half, like Shaun Taylor, who's good in the air and has a good record in scoring goals. But put him against a quick striker, one on one, there is only one winner...

Saying that Wes Morgan, who has mostly played in the lower leagues, didn't do too badly last season...

He has improved a hell of a lot at City too. There's no way the Flint that left us would be anywhere close to the Premier League.

Will never forget his debut, he looked horrifically out of place in an already very shit Swindon side.

I think he'd improve a lower third PL side. Would walk into Hull's first XI. Or readymade replacement if Burnley sell Keane to Leicester. Or to replace an ageing McAuley at WBA, where they can never have too many CBs.

I don't want to sound like a bitter football fan because he'd be worth a punt in the Prem but I imagine he'd get there with a freshly promoted team as opposed to an established one.

Saying that, WBA were linked and that didn't seem like a ridiculous match.

He does make plenty of errors though. It's just when he does something right. It's pretty damn good.

I'd be amazed if he didn't one day be a Premier League player, not necessarily saying he'd be terribly good or indeed terribly bad, but he's not at his peak yet and will either, as Costanza said, get a move to a team after getting promotion, or reaching the PL via a promotion. 

Hopefully however it plays out we'll see a return.

The first one was about the Gillingham promotion game. Walking in to the changing rooms and saying that he was tired, they were tired but his dick was still hard so 'let's fuck'. Or something along those lines.

The second was RE: Fods substitution at PNE. Wes had to get the train home and was saying to the players that he wasn't going to apologise and that he'd have to leave. Monday morning and Wes apologises. PDC's reaction to Wes was something along the lines of 'see, he shit his pants'.

The anecdotes were good, it's all about that cheeky Scottish delivery though.

Another first for the mighty Town. 65/66 was an interesting season. First time we played Headington in a competitive fixture since our formation in 1879.  The Don starting to get into his pomp, I think a lot assume that the Don was a striker.....but he was a proper old fashioned line hugging winger, so besides goals would provide assists for the likes of East.

Cut off the supply to Don and we'd likely get 0, if he got the ball we'd get a few.  Amazing to think that for a 1st round cup game v Merthyr, where East got his 4 the crowd was about 16,000.

Bit disappointing that Keith only got the 19 league goals that season, so like Tommy Mooney just missed out on being a member of the pantheon of STFC 20 goal league a season league strikers.

Oh how I'd love to see Luke Norris, or Nathan Delfouneso join the greats.

TBF if either of them were on the verge of becoming one of our greats they would be sold before becoming a fixture at the club.

This unfortunately is the way of lower league football now (not just STFC) unlike the old days when players like Buckley at Walsall and Senior at Reading when they would stay with one club most of their career.

You can still do 20 goal league seasons, like Andy Williams and Nicky Ajose in the last 2. OK calling them greats might be exaggerating, but I like the fact that over the years we seem to have produced goal scorers....it would be interesting to do a comparison to other clubs of similar standing....Oxford for example have only ever had 2 players score 20 FL goals in a season.

Not quite the full story, that. He's also saved a pen in at least one of those games and by all accounts generally played pretty well behind a poor defence.

The ex-West Ham striker revealed his tattoo of the word "dux" during their Premier League coverage on Sunday, prompting a protest on social media.

The Latin word is the origin of the Italian "duce" meaning leader - Il Duce was the title adopted by Mussolini.

"We made a mistake, we are sorry to all who were hurt," said a Sky executive.

Jacques Raynaud, Sky Sports executive vice-president, continued: "After speaking at length to Di Canio, and despite his professionalism and his expertise regarding football, we have decided together to suspend the partnership."

Former West Ham striker Di Canio has previously been criticised for his political views and refused to address his reported beliefs when he was appointed Sunderland manager in 2013.

He was fined by Italian club Lazio for making the fascist salute for the third time in a year during the 2005 derby with AS Roma.

Mussolini was the fascist dictator of Italy for 20 years until 1943, and was summarily executed in 1945 when he was captured by Italian communists while attempting to flee the country.

Exactly.  Thing is, twat features who was commentated wanked himself into a frenzy saying about goal of the month and what a team goal that was on MOTD the other week.  One long ball over the top and a decent finish but that was all.

A cursory look tells me that 9 of our old boys scored yesterday in the FL. There may be others lost down the back of the sofa in Scotland.

Aside from Flint the 38 year old Darren Ward also notched.

At one stage there were 3 in a row on the old vidiprinter.  Collins, Lukas and someone else.

Lukas is a funny one, 40 something games without a goal for Burnley and now 2 in 2 for Brum.

I thought Hall and Mass were excellent. Martin was rubbish and missing 2 penalties is never helpful.

It was pissing with rain when I arrived and 25 degrees at half time. And as SY says, Fulham at home is probably the best walk up to a football stadium in Britain. Fabulous setting.

Was there too in the away end with a QPR supporting mate, it's hard not to get excited when the opposing team misses a penalty with the last kick of the game, even if you don't care about the result.

Made me realise how much I miss Mass too.

Smith won every header but the support players weren't gambling that he would win the headers for some reason. Fulham went a bit more direct when Smith came on. Pretty sure Martin would have scored from either of the penalties!

that's how I'd sum him up, was expecting a lot more given the fee.

definitely nowhere near our group of worst player ever, and did make a fair few appearances.

At the time for 600k I was expecting a Roberto Carlos type, he wasn't anything like that for sure. Not the best or the worst we've had, but I'm not sure he fits my description of a hall of famer. Hall of steadiness maybe.

He had a bad injury before he came to us, I think a broken leg. I seem to remember him saying he hit Wanker John because he fouled him in the same way as when he broke his leg.

I used to think the same...when Big Sam took over I was genuinely intrigued to see his England team. Hoping that the attitude and selection focused on inform players with a bit more of a 'small club' mentality (for want of a better phrase) I was hoping for a robust, pragmatic side - basically moulding England into Big Sam's league clubs. Steady, effective and fully aware of its limitations, not trying to be something it clearly wasn't and couldn't be. Sam had done that at all his clubs.

Gets the England job, same formation as Hodgson, same players, same squad regardless of form.
Now we have Southgate, did ok at Middlesborough, used a lot of young players, has been England U21 manager for a while, people expecting him to maybe give the youngsters a chance, hoping they are hungry for it.
Same squad as Sam, same squad as Roy so on and so forth.

Obviously he's done some unsavoury things, but I don't get the feeling that he's a deliberately awful and malicious person. Seems like he's getting it right now, so good luck to him.

Can't argue with any of that, could have been a very very good player if he knuckled down earlier in his career and stopped being a twat off the pitch.

I hope for his sake its not too late, always seemed like a nice bloke when I met him too even if he was a bit "gangsta" around his mates it would seem.

I'm not saying it was right. The robbery was as part of a group and he was fifteen years old. The woman he attacked whilst he was here dropped charges. They were obviously both terrible things to do. Both displayed his extremely disrespectful way of treating people. But it doesn't mean that he's a vicious criminal who can't be helped, is a bad person and will inevitably commit crimes again (he may well do, I don't know). If it were that black and white and he were all of those things I'd suggest that he wouldn't still be in football. He's had more chances than any.

You could probably say the same about most violent criminals tbh. The fact he's still committing violent offences 8 years after a gang robbery (not sure how being part of a gang makes it any better?) suggests he's learned nothing. Bloke's a scrote

And it's a good question, tbf. Not sure. It's not just "years without actually being convicted of crime" more a case of probably I guess being able to go more than 12 months without being caught being a complete fuckwit which might then start to be convincing that he's actually starting to grow up.

If he was still living in some dodgy estate in London, there would be some credence in the argument that it was his surroundings that was the issue.

The guy has been paid good money, living what most people would describe as the life of Riley, and been the subject of fans adoration, and still he behaves like a cunt.

Unfortunately, there's a few people on this site who think it's not a crime if it's committed against a woman

The thing I don't understand about Ranger is how controlled he is on the pitch for someone who has such problems off it.

I don't just mean he's not a hothead; he actually has an abnormally low reaction point.  I remember a couple of games for Swindon just after he joined where one of the opposition had clearly been delegated the task of provoking him and he let go incidents that the average 'model professional' would have reacted to.

And yes I also don't recognise the reference to people on here condoning assaults on women.

Even if he hits a rich vein of form at Southend this season I can't see any Championship side willing to take the risk on him as Southend have done.

Hes a good player on the pitch at this level, thats never in doubt, but hes a trainwreck waiting to happen off it, too much of a risk for teams in a higher league IMO.

He would need 3 years being out of trouble and away from controversy for any club higher than this league to take that gamble on him, and in 3 years he will 28, it could have been so different for him.

Pook plays as a holding midfielder - probably his level although he was anonymous 2nd half.  Scott got a bad injury at the end of the 1st half and had to hobble through the 2nd cos there was no sub keeper

I had an interesting chat with someone from the medical industry - whose name I can't recall - and he mentioned a link between joint issues and the taking of cocaine. I'm probably posting on the wrong thread, because those accusations of Charlie (couldn't make it up) Austin taking cocaine in the toilet of a Swindon pub, were of course false. But anyway, this is what he said -

Many drugs, including but not limited to amphetamines (including prescription and over-the-counter medications containing amphetamine-like substances) and cocaine, have been linked to unusual rheumatic syndromes and vasculitis. Recently, a novel rheumatic syndrome has been reported in cocaine users, and this review will therefore focus primarily on cocaine and its link to newly recognized as well as previously established rheumatic diseases.

My lawyer has asked me to point out that joint problems can be the result of many different causes, not just cocaine use.

And like I said earlier, Charlie Austin doesn't use cocaine, so it doesn't make sense.

True, but a crime is a crime whether 2 days ago, 2 years ago or 20 years ago, he is still a fucking cockwomble.

Everyone makes mistakes, does stupid things and everyone deserves a second change, even a 3rd. But how many chances does this bell end want? At 18 years old he had the world at his feet.

Interesting article in the Graun - he resigned in Aug but is being made to serve sixteen (16!) months notice by Spurs.

I think he is rated highly in the game but Spurs manager and Levy want to be more hands on and he was sidelined a bit when it came to getting players in

Getting trapped in a lift is "getting yourself into a daft situation". Armed robbery, beating up women and defrauding a "vulnerable person" is a little more serious. Ranger's a serial scrote who shows no sign of getting any better. He's a shitbag.

In a way that point stands, this goes back to when everyone was aware he was being a twat, as far as i can see this relates to feb 2015 so maybe he has turned a corner. Who knows

Grant Smith's career was weird. 19 teams and did nothing of note at any of them except with us. 10 goals in 33 games for Town being the total outlier. Wonder what would have happened if he'd stayed put. Still only 36 but looks like he retired in 2011.

Always thought Grant Smith was one of those players who didn't train well.

He only got into the team due to injuries & the fact there were no other options. Once he got into the team he stayed there and scored goals.

He then left for Bristol City & as soon as he was out of the team never hit back in

Tbh as well as Cox and Austin, I'd put Shearer, Fjortoft, Quinn, and Bamber ahead of Parkin.. Probably because I didn't see that much of him, as he played when my daughter was very young so I couldn't go much.

I really fucking hated bullock. I may be alone here but I thought he was just a useless obnoxious cunt like an earlier version of gurney
You are not on your own at all, I hated him, a nasty piece of work on and off the pitch with no talent other than for upsetting people and kicking them.

Lee Collins?

Yes, liked him as a player.
Remember one 50-50 with Spencer Prior v Man City where the city player ends up on his backside after a 360 shaking his head and with a broad grin on his face.

The days when at least one Scotsman was thought to be essential in every league team are long gone.
Possibly because they are not very good. Although there must be another Caddis or Ferry out there for teams prepared to have a look North of the border.

Darren Bullock was part of an attempt to build a team with farmyard animal connections, which failed with just a Cowe and err a Leitch.
His debut v Brum was memorable for the Marlon Broomes 35 yard rocket, a player whose career maybe didn't build on early promise.

Thought Leitch was over rated personally.
Plenty of Cruyff turns and the ability to dink the ball towards nobody in particular.

Then again don't have many fond memories of the late McMahon era.

IIRC Scotty Leitch had one good season, not sure which but it could have been his last with us and 3 rubbish seasons.

Never really rated him myself, lots of running around and silly bookings.

Still miles better than any midfielder we have now mind you.

McMahon's dream midfield of Bulock, Collins and Leitch only ever played a handful ogf games together, due to injury, suspension etc.

PV is right though, Leitch would easily get into our current side and improve it.  WB is also right to lament the demise of the Scottish player at STFC. We particularly lack any sort of aggression all over the park.

I remember that 50/50. Absolutely nailed him. The crowd loved it, right in front of the Nationwide as it probably was then. Prior must have had a foot & about 4 stone on Collins aswell.

Turned out to be Mathieu younger brother of Thomas and who looks to be a decent winger.
Their father also played a couple of times for PSG in the '70s.

Thomas with his good work rate but lack of goals probably wouldn't have looked out of place in the current forward line.

Jerel always looked like he was trying.... people understand that you generally end up in Div 3 because of limitations, so can accept that to an extent, as long as you also convey some sort of humility. Luke Norris is sort of going through a metamorphosis atm, whereby he's reaching Jerel style rating.

Ifil always good for a penalty in quite a few games and always remember when we were 2-0 up against Saints in the cup and they got back to 2-2 and the second goal was Ifil's fault he tried to run the ball out and Wallace got in front of him and smashed it in the net at the near post then we went to extra time and Le Tissier scored the winner with that curling free kick in the top corner. Saints then signed Alan McCloughlin not long after that game as he had a superb night tearing Saints to pieces but when they signed him played him in the wrong position not in central midfield and they never saw the best of him.

Ifil always good for a penalty in quite a few games and always remember when we were 2-0 up against Saints in the cup and they got back to 2-2 and the second goal was Ifil's fault he tried to run the ball out and Wallace got in front of him and smashed it in the net at the near post then we went to extra time and Le Tissier scored the winner with that curling free kick in the top corner. Saints then signed Alan McCloughlin not long after that game as he had a superb night tearing Saints to pieces but when they signed him played him in the wrong position not in central midfield and they never saw the best of him.

I'm thinking there was a time machine invented sometime during this game.

This. People have short memories. As somebody mentioned previously if you asked him to do a man marking job on so ebody he was excellent. Often had Leon Knight & Leroy Lita in his pocket & they were two of the best strikers at our level at the time. Nathan Tyson always did a number on him though!!!!

He was a bottom end L1/top end L2 defender. Point is he's remembered fondly and wasn't slagged off constantly, unlike some of our current side who are of similar ability.

Stephens kept a clean sheet in the end. Great to see him get a game at Soton after being shipped out to Middlesborough and not really getting a sniff. Always thought he was excellent here, especially remember what I think (?) was his debut against Bristol City, with he and Troy keeping a clean sheet. He was a rock that day.

Went to school with him.  Saw him jogging around Rodbourne Cheney in the late-summer and wasn't really surprised to see that he didn't have a club anymore. Obviously got some talent though. As much as he was a bit of a knob over Louis Thompson, it seems from that article he has a good idea of what he needs to do to get back playing full-time football.

Not so sure, that still looks to me like he thinks his decline into non-league is just a set of bad luck situations.  Not likely, he's had opportunities and not managed to shine at any point, or been retained.  More likely he's not got the right attitude, believing his talent is sufficient, when in fact pretty much every kids signed to academies has the same talent.  Could still turn it around, wouldn't hold my breath - sort of player we'd go for, wonder if he'd be humble enough.

Obviously isn't the type of player we'd go for. Unemployed and lives down the road.. I guess someone thought about it at some point, and if he'd been any good/had the correct philosophy, we'd have taken a punt.

The thing is he was very highly rated at Town and at Man City by Scott Sellars (Head of Man City academy) when he first went there but then Sellars was sacked in April 2014 and Henshall was no longer rated by the academy staff at City and was freed.

Something happened and all of a sudden he stopped progressing and was sent out on loan to Chesterfield, Rovers and Ipswich and barely makes a handful of appearances.

He seems to have a bit of an attitude problem but every youngster who signs for a massive club like City tend to have an over inflated self belief, rightly or wrongly.

He then signs a short term for Ipswich and Kilmarnock with a short loan to Blackpool too....in all 6 league clubs and made a total of 18 games of which most of those were as sub and makes little impact.

He is an out and out winger rather than a wingback/winger which is what our formation (currently) requires so is probably no better than what we have in Boo and Brophy both of which have amassed more game time THIS SEASON than Henshall has in his entire career.

That said I think he would have been worth giving him some game time in one of the academy games for us, nothing to lose and everything to gain for both parties.

He has even dropped to potentially a lower level than his brother who is now up at Stranraer (not going to investigate how Scottish third tier compares to English sixth tier)

Slightly better career path since leaving us (registered on loan, but not sure he ever set foot on the pitch) - Eddie Howe is the bookies' favourite to take over at Arsenal.

That would be a bit of a leap for them, not doubting his merits as a manager but in terms of club scale Bournemouth to Arsenal is a hell of a jump, he has had a nice quiet life down on the south coast with none of the wider pressures that managing in the top half brings?

There is no way Arsenal will gamble on the relatively inexperienced Howe, they will appoint another foreign coach.

People will also need to forget the notion that we can expect to bounce straight back up, just because we did the last two times. The model as now seen is more likely to be an abject failure, unless very significant changes are made.....given that it should have been reasonably easy to avoid the drop by making those changes, there's no reason to think anything different will happen in the summer.

The Sun article said he left the bloke in a critical condition at the roadside, then later on it states he stayed to help until emergency services arrived. The way the headline was written made it look like it was a hit and run! Gutter press.

Sounds like Waterford are playing the "Swindon way"...

"But Athlone grabbed a deserved winner with just two minutes remaining. Blues defender Jake Evans tried to bring possession from defence but was dispossessed, before Colm Coss fired an unstoppable left-footed strike from the edge of the area past Waterford goalkeeper McLoughlin to hand the home side the opening-weekend three points."

As Town fans we don't have much these days to get even slightly positive about, but the memory of watching decent proper players perform in the red shirt, is a crumb of comfort.

I remember when we were relegated in 2011, he spent the Summer in the gym and training on his own, instead of jetting off on holiday and came back fitter and stronger than ever for our title winning campaign in 2012, and was named League Two player of the year.
A consummate, hard working pro who's hard work paid off.
Just a shame he chose to play for Scotland as I reckon he could've had a sniff at an England call up.

A) What Jayo said
B) Clubs survive on crowds less than that. I'm in no way defending Power here, but we've got more chance of surviving on small crowds with him than previous incumbents given his apparent desire to be sustainable (which, despite his many failings, is a good thing).

It's not an unreasonable thought to expect to see crowds drop to the sort of levels last seen around 2002. That season I well remember luxuriating in the TE for a game v Notts County. It was a midweek fixture on a cold night, but fewer than 4000, and that was in Div 3.

We all know solid season ticket holders of long standing who aren't renewing, but will probably pick and choose. They might be tempted if things are going well, but won't bother with the sort of substandard shit on offer this year.

If we have similar late recruitment of novices and lose a couple early on I can easily see gates dipping below 4k. This is not inconceivable. I think there are a hell of a lot of fans who can jump either way at the moment. Good early recruitment and a squad that could challenge will see gates around the 6k mark and gaining momentum as the season goes on. Otherwise, they will stop going. Other than Diamandis I can't remember another owner alienating the fanbase as mutch.

This is why Power could still pull this out of the fire.  If he goes and recruits early, and shows intent, and then drops in an offer for ST's he might pull some punters back.  It's seasons like this where the early bird ST offer really bites the club in the arse.  Apart from the diehards, nobody in their right minds are going to sign up for a ST at the moment, unless out of habit etc.  It certainly wouldn't be for value for money.

Powers already missed his first 'pulling it out of the fire' move.
He's probably got another 6 days to make it.

If we have any intent to do anything, or just intent to show intent. Williams has to go asap.

I was hoping when Power said the 'clean up will start on Monday' would have seen Williams given his P45 or back to moving cones around on the training ground.

Given he has given him a 5 year contract he has put himself in a bit of a pickle financially being able to get rid of him hasn't he?

They still need to fulfill this Sunday's fixture, and I'm suspecting Williams has a break clause at the end of June anyway.

I'd be amazed if we don't have a new manager by July 1, but think it could take until then.

I don't know the terms of Williams contract but Power has said relegation will cost us around £1m. Now, would have paying off Williams and getting a new manager in for the season cost that much? I doubt.

Of course still no guarantee we would have stayed up under someone else's leadership but when you look how bunched up the table is and certainly was a few games ago a bit of pragmatism and fight, a couple of draws into wins, a couple of defeats into draws and we'd be above the line.

Taking the 10000 gate against Oxford out of the equation, our home gates averaged 6800 which in all probability meant 3500 non season ticket holders at a guess. Losing some 1000 ST holders (according to the rumours), and less interest in the opposition we will be facing I would guess at an average around 5000. Pure speculation I know and it depends on how we will be doing.

This Jones story was known by nearly every body and this club is now taking us for idiots. This should have been reported straight away explaining he was on gardening leave. It is clear the players have no respect for Williams and with what has gone on this season it is obvious discipline is at an all time low.We need a leader and a manager who commands respect and can instil in our players how lucky they are. This is something that was overlooked when taking on such a young squad!

In theory...

Vigoroux, Barry/Boo, Thompson, Branco, Conroy, Kasim, Rogers, Thomas, Goddard, Norris, Obika,

I think we might need to play the loanees looking at that midfield in particular.

Strange isn't it, how Charlton who are safely mid table have fans protesting whilst we're going down and don't?

I mean it wasn't that long ago that we bettered them in a Div 3 PO semi, and could have been considered reasonably well matched clubs.

Charlton are planning a big protest as well - they seem to have something big planned as they are telling fans where to meet before the game and which stand to sit in - good luck to them hopefully it gets them big headlines again like it did when they stopped the game by throwing the pigs on the pitch

Sounds like its going to be a lovely carnival atmosphere for an end of season game - on both sides.

lets hope it is like the Tranmere away game at the end of 2010-11 season when Bodin played the kids and we won 2-0. That season must have been the last time we played at The Valley? Another win , giving us the illusion that when we left Lge 1 at the end of the season it might be in an upward rather than downward direction

Harley has played 31 league games this season.  He isn't very good but you do need a bit of experiernce around your midfield in Div 4. I don't suppose we'll get any.

Having watched Exeter probably more often than you Reg I'm afraid this isn't a numbers thing, just a case of someone not fitting in at one club and fitting in very well at another. Unless you have any other criteria for him "not being very good"

I'll put my hands up, to not having seen Exeter play this season, however there are many examples of players being effective at a certain level of football, and unable to translate it to a higher level.

Ryan has spent most of his time in Div 4, with the occasional foray into Div 3....nothing wrong with that. I guess it's a perception thing. I'd have liked a career as a journeyman lower league footballer, but I wasn't  good enough, so respect to a fella who has had a decent career.

However from a Town fan point of view he wasn't very good for us...probably Luke's coaching.

A 5 or 6 year younger Steve McNulty for Tranmere would be exactly the type of commanding centre half we need. Been around the lower leagues, tough as old boots, takes no crap from anyone, and a proven winner.

Harry Grant was given a 2-year deal at Sheffield Wednesday after being released by Town, dropped down the leagues quite swiftly (Allen connection perhaps but he's not the only one).

Lots of clubs have bigger U23 squads than you might expect, kids who leave YTS and get 'development' contracts for a year or two before Park Avenue calls.

Gunner might benefit from Bradford not going up.

Good luck to him.

Yes.
In the games that he did play last season, in the main there was more of an effort to drive forward with the ball, as opposed to the normal square pass followed by waving an arm in the general direction of an imaginary team mate who should have been in a position to receive a pass that was never going to be made anyway.

Other than that he was ok.

Have to say he is only 1 of those on my timeline, or whatever you call it, that had anything positive to say about Millwall's triumph yesterday. Most were of the opinion that when even the manager and winning goalscorer tell their supporters to fuck off that they really are a bunch of cunts.

Good luck to Nathan Thompson. A class act on and off the pitch. Hope his career progresses. Totally committed to the cause last season, sometimes however to his own and ultimately the team's detriment. Will miss his falling over when barely nudged by an opponent, 95% of refs fell for it, although I remember him getting sent off at Yeovil for  picking the ball up after being "pushed". Some of his runs through the middle were superb and real shame his stfc career ended with him in charge of a relegation team.

Nicky "butter fingers" Hammond has made a nice living out of running Reading academy, then DoF and now Technical Director at WBA and he seems to have done it very well too.

Not a great keeper but was always a very intelligent person despite making some bad decisions on the pitch for us. Something borne out by his retirement from having a bad back from keep picking the ball out of the net ;)

I didn't think he was 'that' bad. Couldn't kick and was a bit too small. Pulled off some good saves but also let in some that he shouldn't have - What keeper hasn't....Oohh! Oohh!

I must admit that for me he is up there with the least reliable keepers I have seen in a Swindon shirt but each to his own.

Not a bad shot stopper but awful at kicking, catching and commanding his area.

And yes I remember being 2-0 up with about 8 mins left on the clock and losing 3-2 in front of only about 8,000, how times have changed.

Never felt too confident with Nicky in goal, but he did have some good games. The best keepers make the fewest errors, and he made a few too many for comfort.

I suppose he was OK as a back up and obviously a decent pro.

I've a mate who's a Plymuff fan, and had a chortle when he left to go there. Think it was his debut, when he literally threw one into the back of the net...he only lasted 3 more games.

 3 who've worn the shirt, are in the England U 21's who've made it through to the semi's of their Euro.

Jacob Murphy, Jon Swift and Jack Stephens. Murphy has impressed, comes on as a sub and to use the cliche, made an impact.

Jack has yet to figure, but Jon Swift interests me. 

He seemingly hasn't changed too much from his time with us, clearly has talent, but as yet not quite able to take it up a level. When you consider, that Jack Wilshere aside, and he's gone backwards, England just don't have a playmaker, there is a massive opportunity for the lad.

You can never forget your debut. I made my first League start (as a keeper this time) for Swindon away at Portsmouth (in October 1997), live on telly on a cold Halloween night in the old First Division after Fraser Digby got injured in the warm-up.

I was only 19 and Robbie Pethick slid in on me after five minutes and cut open my delicate regions. I had to carry on and played the whole game. We won 1-0, I got man of the match and got my tackle stitched up after.

West Ham away, Barnsley home, two consecutive games. He had an absolute stormer in both and undoubtedly won us 6 points. I personally couldn't stand him though and will never forgive him for Peterborough away.

Remember that game well. My brother lived in Portsmouth and his room mate at the time was a big Pompey fan.

We were top of the Championship after that game.
Top of the league and that's where the decline for the next 20 years started. We slid down the table, Chris Hay got sent off and lost his form, the Stevenage defeat and everyone turned on McMahon by the end of the season.

Yes. I liked George, we paid a fair wedge for his services but sold at a prophett. I had hopes for a Kevin Watson/ Thompson midfield axis, but not to be. It's the hope that gets you.

'DOF role?

I wasn’t there, to be perfectly honest, I was helping my friend out. When you go and try and put a few deals together you have to have a title. That Director of Football role is different at every football club you go to so it depends how the club want to implement it. For me, it was just to go and help out a friend who I’ve know for 25 years and try and put a few deals together for his football club. It’s a good club and I hope they bounce back.'

Nope, neither of NA's spells coincided with Flickers being in charge at Bury. DF took over in December 2013 and Ajose departed in May 2013 from there.

NA would be a class above everything else in L2, highly doubt he would sign for us in that league though even if let go by Charlton.

Agreed. Gladwin was excellent 14/15. Been crap since which is a real shame. He's a player I like to watch. The pass to Louis at Coventry for the pen was a bit special. I'd love to see him back here permanently with a manager who plays him in the hole. Best of luck to him at Blackburn. Also seemed like a decent guy willing to help us out.

Anton Rodgers is the deep-lying midfielder in this Hoops’ second half XI. The manager’s son is only here for the fitness, we’re told, and has struggled to make much of an impression despite a few tidy touches.

James Forrest is the latest to go close but his shot from the edge of the box is blocked. Still goalless with 12 minutes to go."

Mooney was a far better player than Beaker definately. I just hoped he would move on to a bigger better club like a Pompey or Blackburn and not to a shitter club in a higher division...then again so has Kasim so not entirely surprised really.

I imagine Obika and Kasim's stock was lowered significantly due to their lack of game time in a shit team.

Luke Williams - Cushy job at Bristol City
Rapha Branco - Top flight in Portugal
Jordan Stewart - European football
Dabo/Colkett - Top flight in Netherlands plus European football
Rodgers - Looked after by daddy. Contacts will save him
Obika - Poor etiquette :)

Makes me appreciate Lawrence Vigouroux for just turning up to pre-season.

Hope he doesn't do that understated I'm not worthy thing when acknowledging their support before and after games.

As for Kasim, hope he gets a decent reception should we cross paths again.
Prefer to remember and appreciate the first 18 months or so of his Town career when it was difficult to recall a player more comfortable in possession since the early 90's. (For me anyway).

Think we saw exactly why Kasim's career seems to have been a collection of false starts during his time with, should never have been at the level he was when we picked him up but ultimately doesn't have the attitude to sustain it for long enough to move up the ladder, be interesting to see how it goes at Northampton as it is not a step up the ladder and thus unlike when he came to us he won't actually have anything to prove?

I've no axe to grind with NSSJO.

 Along with Nathan, he holds the unwanted record of having played in 2 Town teams relegated to Div 4. At times was decent, just too inconsistent to become a hero...

 As a lower league journeyman, you can't be too fussy about where you rock up.... Nathan, Yaser and NSSJO, were always going to be the 3 who might just about stay at Div 3 level...and I don't suppose there was much of a queue for their services

I think he'll go and score 15-20 goals next season and  as others have said you really can't blame him for finding a local club and presumably not have to drag his family miles away and move kids schools etc.

He looked more comfortable at left midfield but he never impressed me. Maybe he just didn't fit into our sytem at the time under PDC.

I remember a game at Crewe away (must have been Christmas time as it was freezing) and for the second half literally everything going forward for us went through him, we lost by a shitty goal (think it was a free kick off the top of my head) by full time he looked completely out on his feet and on the verge of tears - always admired him after that!

I remember a game at Crewe away (must have been Christmas time as it was freezing) and for the second half literally everything going forward for us went through him, we lost by a shitty goal (think it was a free kick off the top of my head) by full time he looked completely out on his feet and on the verge of tears - always admired him after that!

An OG, then.  What were you doing in the defensive wall, anyway?!  :)

We will see how the deal is if it is indeed undisclosed and how much will be added in "add ons" if the deal does go ahead, that is of course if we did structure add ins into our deal with Shitty.

How much involvement would Power have had, Flint went in June 2013 which I think was under the Roooooaaarrr regime although Power had money in the club by that date so I would hope had some involvement?

Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Riddick on Monday, July 17, 2017, 10:30:50
Except its not likely to be a windfall at all. Remember most transfer fees are paid in installments so they may be paying the £4m over 2 years. Its still nice for sure and the more income the better but its unlikely there will be 800K burning a hole in the clubs/powers pockets and more likely we will get 35k a month for 2 years. Still enough to cover the wages of many new squad additions mind you.

There seems to be a lot of lower league clubs signing loan players than I can recall last season, and some of the players are coming from championship clubs which is unusual.
But then I suppose clubs last season noticed that with the transfer window change they could only get rid of fringe players in January or they was stuck with them so perhaps more interested in doing a loan and on the flip side getting youngsters out on loan early

I heard about the Christmas party from a couple of people. Just generally acted like an arsehole, but I treated it as hearsay.

I heard he was a bit of a bell end from people at the club (although tbf the same people were licking his arse when he signed for Orient so maybe it was BS) and he was basically had to go to QPR because of his attitude here. I quite liked him as a player, think he'll do alright for Orient.

Aren't there a few rumours of questionable behaviour from him?

As a player he was pretty average so didn't get the love in, he wasn't exactly commanding.
Not sure it was a love in more the fans expecting the club to treat a injured player better than we did

Was there any evidence to suggest he was badly treated, there could have been any number of reasons for him completing his rehab at QPR, one being it avoided him traipsing up and down the M4 constantly...

Quote
The Solihull Safety Advisory Group, who oversee the licensing of the stadium, has clarified that spectators cannot be admitted to the ground until such time as required safety systems are in place.

"Arrangements are in hand to urgently deal with this matter, but it is felt the only appropriate decision available to The National League is to postpone the fixture and rearrange it for later in the season."

But in fairness it seems to have sprung up overnight, it's not as if they've had all summer...

The thing is that without the service he can come accross like that at times, but give him the ball in or around the box and thats when you get the real Ajose action.

More of a criticism on their supply line than actually on him, you have to play to his strengths to get the best out of him, something only we seem capable of doing it appears.

Lee Clark plays at being a football manager like I play FM2017, hes expecting 11 players coming or going at Bury today, rumoured to include termination of Ajose's loan.

I would have Ajose back definately but would he get in our current team I don't know, but some players you can change a formation to accomodate a certain players attributes, but would Flickers change his formation for Ajose? I doubt it.

I don't know if he'd score goals in our team. We've played to his strengths more when he's been here previously but with him and Woolery we'd have to adapt massively.

Only Barnsley on loan, Northampton on loan and Pompey before his signing on a free for Bury but that does make 11 teams in total inc loan spells, quite a lot for a 25 year old.

It'll only be uncomfortable if he makes costly mistakes. Lots of them are celebrating the fact he's still there without considering the fact that he was unsettled to the point that Lee Johnson wasn't playing him and had, essentially, replaced him.

Flint must have been scouted extensively in the last two years so there must be a reason that clubs aren't willing to spend £5 million (which isn't bad within the current market).

His overall ability is still considerably suspect but 2014-15 and 'no, no, no' has made him invincible to some.

He's deffo taking the piss. I played against Flint several times at youth level. Didn't "know him" per se but most of the lads growing up around our area always had this sarcastic/dry sense of humour. One false move in the changing room and it was either big time mockery, a wedgie or you were shown up for being a twat. It's common in most parts of north east derbys, north notts & south sheff (the north midlands if you like). 

However, yeah he's not the sharpest tool in the box but even at 13 you could tell he would make it as a pro (or get a chance at least). Still scratching my head as to why I never got that chance? Luck (or lack of)? I don't know. Was fairly close. Trained with several semi-pro side and played for Hednesford Town Reserves at 17/18 but that was that! Maybe I didn't want it enough (although i'm pretty sure I did)? Maybe the answer is, others wanted it more... :pint: :pint:

Got a lot of time for Lee Peacock. Such an approachable guy. Spoke to him at P/O Final v PNE and it was like he was a fan. Passionate about Town and really wants them to succeed. This appointment still surprises me as I'd have expected him to end up in a role a Sheff Wed. I wish him every success here. Welcome back, Lee.

Edit: Can't belive he's got rid of his beautiful, strong beard though. That was a strong beard game from Lee!

He is a fan. He once commentated on a match between us as and Bristol City and left no doubt which team he was rooting for. He was working for Bristol Comms as well. City fans were not happy. I was, though.

They must have spent some money this season Bury with the players they have brought in I think Lee Clark is the problem I don't rate him as a manager and obviously he's not playing players in the right positions I understand he had Ajose in the centre of midfield in a couple of games and playing wide right so probably why he's been ineffective and if Bury fans were slating Ince there must be something drastically wrong there as he was way and above the best player for us last season. I don't think it will be long before Lee Clark gets sacked especially the way the sackings are going currently in the lower leagues.

Being the best outfield player for us last season, isn't much of a recommendation, as the standard was so low.

Colkett - technical player but too far removed from game to use it to influence said game. Not physical enough.

He was exactly what we didn't need, but Williams probably emptied Tesco of kleenex because he made a pass once.

Think he could do OK for himself mind.

I thought Colkett was a decent player, just a little inconsistent and eager to take the harder option sometimes.  He's the kind of player that will make a career for himself at Championship level, a typical Premier Academy player.

More suited to a better standard of football than you will see in the bottom 2 leagues.

Colkett was the most self indulgent footballer I've seen at the CG for many a year, even worse than Pritchard. He appeared totally oblivious to our position and everyone had come just to watch his blind passes. In mitigation that was probably what Luke told him to do.

Bristol Shitty fans say he was one of the worst players ever to play for them when on loan from Reading 2 years ago, they say he couldn't pass, shoot or run and contributed nothing, so I would say he is now at his level where he should be, I loved him and would still welcome him back as long as his legs haven't gone yet.

Good spot, nice to see Coxy getting a bit of praise.

In order to show the vagaries of football, when Coxy scored that goal v Saddlers, Troy Deeney scored for them. Not many would have thought he'd be the one still scoring in the Prem.

Here's an old thread from about 7 years ago about realistic targets for 10/11.  There's a few who suggested Deeney, but you don't appear to be any of them DV.

http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=39311.0

Quite an interesting read, some of the names mentioned have disappeared up their own arsehole.  Probably most bizarrely, there's a couple including PV who suggest Donal McDermott.

The Beast lobby, gets short shrift, but the big man is still going strong as we'll probably find out tomorrow. Obika got a few votes, as did Caddis, Ferry and Matt Ritchie but we kind of knew them from loans.

Some wanted Prutton, because he was a mate of Douglas and Lucas.  :(

When he went to Watford in that summer of 2010 he cost half a mill.  The sort of sum just about within our range at the time.

He's scored 101 league goals in 280 appearances which includes 50 odd as a sub. Still only 29. I think all goals at Championship or Prem. Fair play to the fella,

It's slightly interesting, that for the second Saturday in a row, no ex Town player scored in England. I'm not sure that it's particularly significant. but it's just possible that as Power has allowed the standard of player we get to drop, and previous decent players get a bit longer of tooth, this is a trend we might expect to continue.

Last season's high water mark was 14, I'd hazard a guess  that the median figure over the last few years is about 6-8. Billy Bodin has been scoring for fun but injured...

I think the matter of more concern for him is that whilst he has certain ability and the added bonus of his old man being manager of a comparatively big club (still the reason I suspect we took him in the first place) no club is prepared to take a flyer on him so there must be  a reason why no one is biting be it attitude or ability?

Apart from a decent free kick - totally useless. If there was one thing above any others, and there are many, that I couldn't stand about him was his arrogance. If he hit a crap pass, just stand there looking at the nearest player as though they were unworthy of sharing the same pitch. To put it into context though and to our shame he was not stand out crap.

I’d say it probably is his level, he can hit a decent dead ball and that is it. It takes more than that to sustain a professional career.  Alan O’Brian ended up at Hungerford for a similar reason as all he had was a bit of pace and it wasn’t enough to make up for his lack of ability.

Quite possibly THE worst midfielder I have ever seen in a Swindon shirt, can't pass, refuses to head a ball or tackle an opponent, can't pass a ball more than 5 yards in any direction other than backwards, took a couple of good free kicks.

How the hell he played in 79 first team games for us is beyond me.

Keeper didn't exactly pull out the stops either, did he.

Keeper cannot touch it though as a back pass so not a huge amount he could do (although catching it and conceding the free kick would have seemed the obvious solution), comedy of errors starting with them giving him the ball where he could do nothing with it, a shit first touch making it worse then a worldy finish. 


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: McGurk's Missus on Monday, November 20, 2017, 13:23:12
"...The offense rests on three events occurring in the following sequence:

*The ball is kicked (played with the foot, not the knee, thigh, or shin) by a teammate of the goalkeeper,

*This action is deemed to be deliberate, rather than a deflection or miskick, and

 *The goalkeeper handles the ball directly (no intervening touch of play of the ball by anyone else)

When, in the opinion of the referee, these three conditions are met, the violation has occurred. It is not necessary for the ball to be “passed,” it is not necessary for the ball to go “back,” and it is not necessary for the deliberate play by the teammate to be “to” the goalkeeper."

The keeper could've in the very least attempted to flick/punch it over the bar. Even heading it over. In this instance I feel the ref would've seen the actions by Dabo to be deemed as a miskick. Because (in the rules of the game) the player would not be deliberately trying to score an own goal. Even if he and his keeper had agreed this in secret. The referee would be applying the laws of the game. All three conditions must be met to deem a "back pass" has been committed. The keeper should've palmed it over.

He didn't. Great goal. Obviously got it in his locker. Just needs to replicate it at the other end. I've scored an own goal playing before and it's not a nice feeling. Gut wrenching. That's in front of only say 200 people. This must be much worse when it's not only seen by thousands live but also a worldwide audience. I'm sure he'll still sleep at night when he checks his bank balance though  :pint: :pint:

Hes a natural goal scorer. If he can stay fit, he's got a good chance of getting in the England squad in the summer.

A lot can happen between now and the end of the season, but you'd have to think it's a long shot.  Remember maybe 2 years ago now Charlie and Vardy were called up to the squad.  Surprisingly Vardy got on Charlie didn't.... however tbf to Vardy he then went and scored decent numbers and won the league, so settled the argument.

Austin has been plagued with injuries for the last year or so, in fact he's been plagued with injuries most of his career but there is no denying when he plays he has a fantastic goal scoring record.

I always like watching natural goalscorers, the 2 headers yesterday were things of beauty, it looks simple but isn't.  Having said that Everton were shockingly poor.

Charlie is by far the best natural finisher I have seen for the Town and one of the best I have seen.

Its about knowing where you are in relation to the goal and the keeper at all times and just directing the ball towards the goal, with head or a pass, no need to break the net just pass it into the spaces, often very close to the keeper.

Not many English/British players ever have that skill as the modern game is more about power and pace.

Austin isn't even the archetypical English centre forward he is a breed apart and that can work againt him playing for the national side as sometimes it shows up as laziness, being unwilling to track his man back and overall not contributing to team play as much.

But given the ball in the box he will always score goals at any level and that includes national level with service.

Could well be right. Over my years we've had something like 16 or so 20 goals a season strikers.  Some at times for Town like Simon Cox looked better than CA, but never quite did it elsewhere, others like Chalky White had good numbers at below top flight, and actually got more clinical as he got older, but needed plenty of chances to score.

Duncan Shearer and Jimmy Quinn both had a wider range of goals than Charlie, having shots like the proverbial mule.

Nicky Ajose would be a classic example, a clinical finisher at Town seems unable to fit in elsewhere.

There was a point in his first season with us where his record was a goal every other shot. I think it was right until the end of the season actually.

I'm going from memory here & anybody who feels free to look it up please do so, but I'm sure his first four shots for us all resulted in goals (Carlisle away, Huddersfield home & Orient home).

Natural goalscorer was definitely his niche.  Like Robbie Fowler.  No great pace but such a nose for goal. 

I was very impressed when he came back with Burnley, we gave him a heap of abuse and he took it, scored but lost, then came to the town end not with abuse but appreciation which we reciprocated.  He looked a player fit to lead a line then whereas when we had him he seemed less of a presence.

Hope he manages to string some games together because as we've said, if he plays he will score.

Dreadful challenge that. Got the assist for Will Grigg's goal in the first half too though, in the interest of balance! I was at the game and thought Byrne looked very average on the whole. Then again, in their system he wasn't given the same freedom to attack that he had at Town.

If you are referring to Sir Don, then of course the best player during my time but he was so much more than  just a goal scorer. Interesting his goals per game record for us was 0.36 (178/490), which is the same as Chalky (111/312) as opposed to Eastoe at 0.47 (43/91), Mayes 0.45 (83/184), Super Sam 0.51 (73/142), Cox 0.53 (43/81) and Austin 0.57 (31/54). Shearer also excellent at 0.49 (98/199).

Just after he was with us I heard he was a bit of a bully to the youngsters, it was about the time that his former assistant Ian Cluverhouse was accused (and eventually sacked from Villa) for exactly the same thing.

I put the comments about KM down to being at Villa with IC and "tarring with the same brush" as Culverhouse but it appears there was more to it than that.

Quote

Following a meeting yesterday with Nile Ranger the Club has today terminated the player's contract in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This decision was taken following reoccurring disciplinary issues, including timekeeping, which undermine both the unity of the group and the management.

In many ways it is regrettable having worked closely with Nile over the past 18 months. However, the interests of the Club are paramount and the Board will never allow those objectives to be undermined.

Any sort of win would be welcome, we've yet to beat any of the current bottom half except Stevenage at the CG this season.  In fact we've got a number of games against these, between now and season's end at the CG, and it will be whether we can reverse the trend, and win some of these which will probably decide if we are contenders.

Waaaah! Where’s me mammy? Jordan Stewart interview.

Q. Why do you think it didn't work out at Swindon?

A. I'm glad to do an interview like this because it will give an insight into what really happened. It's easy for people to sit at home, read the newspaper and hammer me on Twitter, but they don't understand what happened. Clubs in higher leagues wanted me but I felt I would get an opportunity to get into the first team at Swindon. I wasn't far off that but I just had nowhere to live for the first two or three months, moving to different hotels and carrying two suitcases after training. The club put me in an ex-player's flat and it was disgusting. It hadn't been cleaned and I decided to go to the airport and go home. The club could have done a lot more to help me. I wasn't a kid, I was 20-years old, but I had never been away on my own, I didn't know anyone and when you aren't settled you lose interest. The club publicly said they tried to help me but they did very little for me. I quit my job and didn't get a penny from them in a signing-on fee. For the first few weeks I needed to borrow money from my mum.

Q. You are critical of the club, but what about yourself, could your attitude have been better?

A. There were people at the club who helped me, there are good people there, but my living conditions were not sorted. They put me in accommodation with the cameraman, and after I made my debut against Millwall I came home and he had 10 people in the apartment having a party. I felt it was a shambles and they weren't worried about me. I went home and was close to packing it in. Then I thought about proving people wrong, changed my attitude and vowed to win every fitness test at the club and I did. That changed people's opinions of me and I got more responsibility. I came on against QPR in the EFL Cup and scored and thought I would kick on. The relief and satisfaction was immense because I had worked incredibly hard. My family were there to see it which was nice. That's my best moment in football until now, but not long after that I suffered a knee injury and it was over - that was my lowest moment. My knee went after taking a shot in training. I was meant to go away with the Northern Ireland U21 squad but I could hardly walk. When I found out how serious it was I cried, and my two flatmates cried because they knew the effort I had put in. It was heartbreaking.

Q. I've heard people say you didn't have the mental toughness to make it. Does that criticism hurt you?

A. I'll never get hurt by someone's opinion of me. If I play for Linfield against Glentoran I know people will squeal at me. I can understand people have their opinions but it's easy to make judgments when you don't know the full circumstances. If you can't see the whole picture those comments can be harsh. I can honestly say that the second year I was over I gave it everything. The injury killed me and it wasn't to be. People can say I'm not the same player now I'm back in the Irish League but if the opportunity to play across the water came again, I know I would be in a better position to make the most of it.

Q. So you haven't closed that door to a possible professional career?

A. No chance. I know my experience was not great but I would even go back to Swindon and try again. I had a dream to be a professional footballer and it hasn't left me. I made friends for life at Swindon.

Q. It's hard to believe you would consider returning to Swindon after feeling they could have looked after you better.

A. I had some good experiences there, and if you want something so badly, you'll take it. The stadium and fans were fantastic. When I was there something wasn't right at the club, there were management changes and I just didn't settle. I didn't miss Belfast, I just felt no-one helped me to settle. I didn't know how to cook or wash clothes, so in a way the experience turned me into a man.

This is a recurring theme across football, and many clubs have begun to understand better the need to be care-full of their players, especially the younger ones.  It is a very strange world into which they are plunged and can be extremely damaging to their development if the club do not take some responsibility for caring for them, as well as using them as the money-making element of the business of the club.

I am pretty sure Power arranged the deal before he took full control and has said that there is indeed a sell on fee but never discussed the size, although he did say it was substantial, and thats when the transfer fee mentioned was only about £3m during an interview pre season.

I hadn't looked at it like that but yes it would be technically if it beats the £4m from Luongo and Gladwin then it will be. that would mean Flint going for £20m though and I think thats pushing it a little. Even though they have lumped Gladwin and Luongo into a single sale.

It isnt bad at all if you compare it to Shaun Taylor who got 33 goals for us in 233 games.

Not true unfortunately about goal ratios though unfortunately.

Flint scores one goal every 6.6 matches (5.5 while at Shitty), Heskey was 1 goal every 4.8 games and Vassell 1 goal every 5.3 games through their whole professional careers.

A bit inconsistent during his time with us, but in his first game away at Barnsley gave one of the most assured performances from a loanee debutant that I've seen.

Thought he would have been an ideal player for Cooper Power to sign, after release from Brum, given the model at the time.

Mason was the pick of the 3 Spurs lads. Some favoured Pritchard but not me, Mason was brilliant at running the ball from defence to attack. Was also a hard worker and a team player. As Tans says, the Crewe game and his hat trick was decent.
Its such a shame when you see a decent lad like Mason have to finish his career early. I hope he makes a success of whatever he goes on to do.

I think the ‘three’ were Luongo, Byrne and Parrett but your point very much stands.

Pritchard and Mason (and permanent signings of Mass, Byrne and Barthram) came in during the ‘WE ARE NOT FECKING SPURS B AND NEVER WILL BE! ARGGGGGHHHHH!’ period that followed shortly afterwards.

I thoroughly enjoyed that Crewe game and wish he finished the second penalty too.

Sad news, and wish him all the best for the future.

My best Ryan Mason story - I'm sure everyone has one - came after a dismal 2-1 defeat away at Oldham in Oct 2013.  I'd stopped at motorway services somewhere outside Birmingham, and noticed a chap wearing a Town top to my left while washing my hands in the gents.  Without looking up, and assuming him to be another fan, I said something like 'Well wasn't that a f###ing shambles?'  He didn't reply.  But when I did look up short while later he was looking a little sheepish.

Sorry Ryan.

I've always maintained that players are not necessarily as bad as they are playing. It's something that rather a lot of people seem short-sighted to, despite it being a common phenomenon that players 'improve' (or 'worsen') under different managers.

Many are crediting Brown with Dunne's improvement. I'm wondering if Dunne was that bad a player to begin with.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Quagmire on Thursday, April 12, 2018, 11:10:13

Or maybe he's just a slightly above average League 2 midfielder who is limited, tries hard and sometimes plays well, sometimes doesn't.

They are currently second in the Southern Premier League on 97 points, Hereford are top with 107.

As an aside, i bet the team in 5th on 93 points wouldn't have believed that wouldn't get them in the top 4 at the start of the season with 2 games to go.

I once saw St Johnstone play East Fife, when I happened to be passing through Perth, too good to miss.  Think then SJ played at Muirton Park..... I liked it's terracing made from railway sleepers, the like of which I'd only ever seen at Gresty Road.

Apparently Muirton is now under an ASDA... I guess the sort of fate whcih may befall the CG, however SJ lucked out when Mr McDiarmid, gave them a chunk of land to build a new ground on, just in time for Taylor Report grants.

I have been to the Asda there many times but was unaware that it used to be the ground, my mate has only lived up here since 2008 so I never visited before then.

Will be my first Scots Premier game since the early 00s when I saw Rangers vs Kilmarnock which was dull as dishwater!

I don't hold out a lot of hope for a good game between a low mid table team and a struggling one, but it makes a change from Swindon, doubt it can be much worse than the last few Town games I have witnessed.

I would imagine he'd be trying to look to get a 1st team position in a Prem Club. He's definitely bided his time and worked his way up during his career. Top end championship would be certain but he could hold his own at a middling Prem Club. He may want to move back london way? Watford/Palace/West Ham or Fulham/Millwall could all be reasonable options. I miss him too, and I wish him well.

PS: Glad you mentioned the 'sell-on' FH as I was awaiting that very question to be posed. Hindsight says it may have been better business to sell him (with added sell-on clause) but at least he left us on good terms.

No, however that is just one opinion. Trouble with Rangers fans, their expectations are linked to their past success (understandably) and they are still in transition to winning the SPL again. It will happen and they will probably dominate again but the fans think they should have it now.

Really enjoyed the match on Saturday, not a good game and only 2,900 there to see it.

St Johnstone fans don't sing, ever, not a single song even when they took the lead just before half time.

Partick fans were very loud all game and must have made up 1/3 of the attendance.

Alan Archibald who is manager of PTFC applied for the managers job here before Flipflop got the job, he can organise a side well, they play down both wings and keep the ball down and his style may well suit Swindon if he applied again this time if PB doesn't get appointed. PT were the better side by a long way but St Johnstone were really poor and lucky to get a draw.

Only 3 players would even make our team, the PT right back Christie Elliott, and 2 Saints players, Matty Willock on  loan from Man Utd and keeper Zander Clark, the rest  were average at best and not even L2 quality, the standard of football on show was similar to most Swindon games this season too.

I was sat a couple of seats away from Martin Keown and his wife who was there to watch his son Niall play CB for Partick, he was pretty poor too TBH.

£23 a ticket was pretty average but the steak pie was the highlight of a very cold day.

I see Wes didn't even get on the bench Saturday vs Celtic and Alnwick let in 5 goals without getting near one of them, it seems nobody could perform well enough in goal for them with that defence.

Steven Gerrard will have his work cut out there if he does take over.

As for Wes, I would love for us to be able to afford to get him back, although thats pie in the sky.

Morrison was a perfect example of an agent playing a blinder for his client... he would only sign a contract if a reasonable buy out clause was included.... he was seen as the succesor to Greer, so needed game time, and as a raw youngster the relatively modest £250K seemed sensible.  Hindsight and all that..

With Oldham it's probably little to do with the manager... they're owned by an agent.  Next season could go either way with them, they'll either bomb or it could work out, hasn't done Wolves any harm.

We could do with seeing a few basket cases to act as a safety net.  Given that Macclesfield have had problems paying the players this year and Morecambe have been getting sub 1000 gates, you'd have hopes for them... Cov probably need to get up, but you'd expect FGR to be stronger next season.

You can be a 'footballer' and do very well in the lower leagues.  Plenty of teams over the years have done very well in L1 and L2 playing technical, passing football without vast budgets.  Plymouth did it in last year in L2 and are doing it again in L1.  Roberto Martinez took Swansea through the leagues playing 4-2-3-1 with plenty of small technical midfielders of Goddard's type.  I feel sorry for Goddard, and think he can make it in league football.

Don't know much about Plymuff.... but Kenny Jackett, got Swans out of Div 4, with Ade Akinfenwa up top. They hung about for a while in Div 3 with player like Gary Monk and Alan Tate, at the back and paid good $ to get Gurney and Fallon off of us.

Robbie Martinez did get good use out of Leon Brittan and Joe Allen, when they eventually left Div 3, but these despite being small are exceptional players... being small doesn't mean you are physically uncompetitive... though to be a "footballer" as the old McMahon cliche goes, first you have to win your battles.

I think John Goddards biggest problem was he and his manager/s have never found his best position, he is adept in central midfield but not that good, he can play as a box to box midfielder and can also play on the wide midfield/winger or behind a striker/front 2.

He needs to specialise in one of them and not be Jack of all midfield positions.

One reason he was sold by Flitty was because one position we really needed players in midfield for the defensive midfielder position, which was the only position he was not very good in. We already had Anderson and Elsnik for the attacking role he prefered.

anybody go that can confirm/rebuke it?

Gossip, I know, I know...I don't know
--------
The rumour was : got drunk, grabbed the mike off Hodgetts, said he had a message from Hussey - thanks for stitching him up over saying he threw a punch - used quite agricultural language in front of fans (incl kids ) and threw the mike
--------
Should be easily disproved if its crap -- somebody on here must have been there!

JG had talent but didn't seem physically up to it to me.

odd though, given his conference roots. Maybe the step up was a bit too far for him. Assuming such a step exists.

His decision making when in a decent position was atrocious. The amount of times he'd get himself in a good position then fuck it up was way too much for a football league player.

Most Looton fans really liked Cuthbert and are very sad to see him leave, he was capt for the last couple of seasons too, I think his arguments with Town fans at the end of his Swindon career means he would not even entertain coming back anyway.

Partick looked far better than St Johnstone when I saw them 2 weeks ago or so, the standard of Scottish Premier League football is pretty dire.

In the Scottish cup final at the weekend Motherwells keeper Trevor Carson was released by Cheltenham 3 years ago along with free transfer signings who were released prior to signing for them by Oldham, Grimsby, Coventry, Gateshead, FGR, Plymouth and Blackpool.

Its no wonder that Celtic have walked that league at a canter this year.

Anybody who bases the strategy on the exception (Accrington) rather than the norm, is living in hope rather than expectation, which makes us no different in terms of ambition to every other team in the division, except for those who are prepared to better their odds and pay for it. This is the slippery slope.

I thought he was refreshingly open (as far as he could be regarding contract discussions etc) and none of the 'Flitcroft bollocks' we had to endure last season.

He used the word "slashed" the first time and then said "reduced" when answering a later question.  If you don't want to wait for the 'catch-up' to be loaded, Ben Wills did a running commentary on his Twitter feed, which picked up the key points.

One thing I thought interesting was that PB said, when he met Power in London to discuss the job, Power had an unnamed business partner with him who PB said was going to be a future investor in Power's businesses, although he couldn't confirm if that included STFC.

During a fans' phone-in to BBC radio Wiltshire, Swindon Town manager Phil Brown fielded questions on whether either of Michael Doughty, Jamie Sendles-White or Harry Toffolo will be returning to Wiltshire this summer.

Michael Doughty and Harry Toffolo have been released by Peterborough United and Millwall respectively following the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, while Jamie Sendles-White is currently at National League South outfit St. Albans City.

All three have been subject of calls from Town fans for a return, and they had their chance to make their feelings known to the boss, as he spoke to the BBC for an hour on Tuesday night.

Wing-back Toffolo spent time at loan at Swindon from Norwich City during the 2014-15 season that saw Swindon make the final of the League One play-offs, and has since spent time on loan at Rotherham, Peterborough, Scunthorpe and Doncaster prior to his short stint at the New Den.

Speaking about the possibility of 22-year-old Toffolo making a return, Brown said: "I will only sign players that I really have done my homework on, I will only sign players that I've met, if I meet the lad and it's a postive, then who knows?

"I know his best position is left-back, and I hope Matty Taylor and Ellis Iandolo might fill that role."

Next up was a question on Doughty, who had two loan spells in successive seasons before being recalled by Championship QPR in January 2017. It was revealed by Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony that Lee Power rejected the chance to sign Doughty when he was transfer listed by Posh, but Brown says he likes the now-free agent.

"I've been an admirer of him, but we're chasing a lot of targets at the moment and I think a lot of supporters think I'm on holiday, but at this time of year we spend a lot of time on the phone, we've got to do a lot of research and a lot of homework, you've just got to be careful. It's really important that we get this part of the season right."

Sendles-White was the next name to be thrown into the mix. The centre-back was released in the summer of 2016 after suffering an ACL injury the previous September, which ended his campaign, and is working himself back to full fitness at St. Albans after being let go by National League Leyton Orient.

"It's a player that I've already met, I was having a coffee with him about 10 days ago, and it's key that when you do make a decision, he's got to be able to do the things he used to be able to do physically. I've got to make sure he's right for us and we're right for him."

Yes that does sound odd, I like the fact that they are more of a known quantity than players totally new to the club but sometimes you do have to move on.

Sounds unlikely any of those players will be returning if Brown’s criteria is having to have seen them play himself.

And with a reduced budget L1 players would be facing a hefty wage cut.

Interesting he mentioned the possibility of 2 strikers out, 2 new ones in.

Q: Have we got a 20-goal striker to earn promotion? A: Norris ended up with 14, Richards ended up with 11 from 15, but if latter hasn't got legs, then Anderson, Mullin, Woolery and Twine will be thinking 'I'm coming through'. Competition for places at business end. #STFC

Q: Are you interested in Simon Cox [Brown worked with him before, out of contract but offered a new deal by Southend] A: Lot of things to like at him, but says club are very top heavy up front with 5/6 strikers. Needs to consider the players that are already @ club.

He was also asked if the current owner had the resources to get the Club to the Championship in, say, a 3 year period.

Brown answered without even a nano-second of hesitation "Yes, 100%"...that's not been mentioned for some reason  :hmmm:

Not true Chang. Often in many industries a contractual "offer" is made but it is with the expectation of a decline. Player doesn't accept reduced terms, existing contract expires...they become OOC.....it's not hard to understand that.

That's true of course. I just don't think he would have answered in such an unqualified and emphatic manor if he had not believed it to have been the case. Whereas Flitcroft was a bullshit merchant of the highest order I don't think Brown is - just my subjective opinion which could be way off the mark. To that end though, I thought his answer was worthy of comment as a counter to the earlier 'slashed budget' remark.

*Edit: Actually, I'm going to go one-step further and do what a lot of people do, which is focus on the bit I like and pretend the rest just doesn't exist. Which then means I get to interpret it as we are being bankrolled to be in the Championship as soon as possible. Woo hoo.

I think there's an important point in this argument.   Last season, it emerged think it was Posh who did the digging that we had the 5th highest budget in Div 4, when Flitters flitted we were 7th about 3 or 4 points off 5th, so a little under par but not much.  Flitters was widely considered to be doing a poor job on here and a majority wanted him sacked around Christmas. There were a few of us who tought he was doing OK.

Now if PB is in receipt of a reduced budget, what is the perception of what he should be achieving?  It is, of course, entirely possible that our opponents will also be reducing their budgets, squad building dealings should give us a clue.

As regards the Championship comment, having the resources and being willing and able to use the resources, are completely different. The danger is in the perception of where we are as a club atm, and what fans expect.

As flippant as your comment comes across, you just may have inadvertently put an imaginary wager on a rank outsider instead of the favourite by mistake and bagged a winner.....

Did PB not say that he had an unnamed investor with him at the first meeting? Which ties in nicely with his purchase of the ground and development of the Highworth training facility with money Power clearly doesn’t have.

I find it hard to believe that LP wouldn’t have introduced this investor by name, plausible but if I was PB i’d Want to know who I was going to be working for or dealing with. After all why have this man there in the first place. Additionally we all agree that LP is not going to make any money in L2, likely a loss. Make money in L1 but not much, Championship is the entry level to the casino and the PL is beating the house in Monte Carlo.

PB if he plays his cards right has a unique opportunity to play at this casino in Championship terms. There are other teams in England with this potential and he has landed a chance at one of them. With his experience and a bit of luck we may just be in the Championship in three years.

Regarding this as yet ‘unamed’ Investor chappie. The first phase of cash injection would be buying the CG and maybe some basic investment at Highworth. More money into the clubs revenue stream and infrastructure as we progress up the league but I’m struggling to see much being spent on the ground development until we get to the Championship and that I guess would be the Banks development first then the Townend purely because the Bank needs a roof and to maximise the away support that would invariably follow their teams. After all it would reflect badly on the clubs if say AV came down one Saturday in January and packed out both the away section of the Arkells and the bank in weather most of us would think twice about attending under cover even driving from say west Swindon.

I think he got his leagues mixed up as the only South coast club outside of the Premiership is Pompey who are looking to offload a lot of players this Summer.

Pompey have just signed a winger/striker from Ireland for £300k so they need to let go of a few to balance the books.

They are also after Eisa from Cheltnumb but aren't willing to pay the £1m+ fee for him.

Fair comment that, its relative budget not absolute that is of interest.

That said, while a lower budget is disappointing unless we are now bottom third of the budget league I wonder how much difference it really makes.

We can afford to have a slightly smaller squad - when you take into account the injuries to Conroy, Preston, Linganzi and the shitness of "Robbo" we were effectively running with a smaller squad anyway.

The biggest concern for me is that the squad is already carrying a few passengers, so there is not much room for maneuver outside the loan market (as things stand).
-----------
No proper predictions from me until we see what happens in the market. If you want a meaningless one "as thing stand" - we are inadequate in all departments and a bit short of quality options up top - lower mid table.

Had he stayed, he could have been injured from September onwards like the rest of our half decent centre backs.

I can remember the tactic of being up or level, bringing Timlin on to shore up the midfield and either losing or drawing. He probably wouldn't be a bad signing now, which shows us how far we've fallen in the last 3 years.

Although Cheltnum more often than not beat us, they've never finished above us.  That is one of those little signifiers about where we are, it needs to stay that way.

I’m pretty certain they bypassed us on our slide into div 4 at the end of 05/06, and spent a season above us before we returned to div 3.

Good luck to him. It is not the end of the world as we know it. PB will have other targets as a replacement, and if he hasn’t then I expect him to be straight on the blower as soon as he found out that he was signing for that sleeping Nottinghamshire giant.

 I can imagine at L2 level the difference in money is marginal but when you’re not going to be making upwards of £50k per week £100 per week plus the promise of unknown blue sky bonuses would swing it in a short career. Less travel to be near family and friends, an easier ride from the chummy manager, cheaper housing, a bigger slice for his agent. Could be more reasons could be none of the ones i’ve suggested.

You never know, Mr. Brown may end up plucking some unknown World Cup stars from under the noses of Corporate F.C. clubs, with names we’ll never be able to pronounce and who’s abbreviated nick names will give us days of unbridled mirth discussing.

Having said that, despite our own significant issues (such as having a shedload of injury-prone centre backs - mentioning no names) we had better form than them over the final 10 games. Largely because their manager hasn't got a fucking clue.

Well done for breaking the news before the Adver and even Chang for that matter.

It's an interesting reversal of history.... in 85, Stags had a CH, who they wanted to keep, but we lured away using a very handsome wage package. That player went on to be, in my opinion, our second best post war player. 20 years ago, he was marking reasonably successfully the toothy Ronaldo, at the WC.  Let's hope their acquisition is less successful, and not the next Alfie Mawson.

I am not sure there are signs that Preston is in the same class as the Fridge. On his 3rd League One/Two club and about 60 pro appearances.

By the time he was 23, CC had captained us to two promotions and playing at what is now Championship level.

Mansfield's grievances from 1985 were softened by the big sell on cut of the £2m tribunal fee when he went to Spurs.

I guess Preston could be a late developer like Flint or even Adie Viveash who had the best years of his career between the two spells with us at 2nd and 3rd tier level.

If the club followed the procedure correctly, compo will be due under Regulation 57.5:

"57 Registration of Non-contract Players:

57.1 The registration of a Non-Contract Player will be valid only for the Season in which the registration form is signed. 57.2 A Club may only register a Non-Contract Player (subject to the provisions of Regulation 41.7) during a Closed Period if he is an Unemployed Player.

57.3 A Non-Contract Player's registration will expire at the end of the Season which for the purposes of this Regulation, will be deemed to be the third Saturday in May or within four days of the Club's last match of the Season, whichever is the later. After this date the Player may sign for another Club for the following Season or he may choose to re-sign for his former Club.

57.4 A Club wishing to immediately re-sign a Non-Contract Player should include his name on its Club List of Players for the following Season and notify the Player of its intentions in accordance with the procedure laid down in Regulation 67.

57.5 A Club will only be entitled to seek a Compensation Fee for the loss of a Non-Contract Player's Registration who is an Under 24 Player if such Club has made the Player a written offer of terms to become a Contract Player prior to the expiration of the Registration or for other reasons satisfactory to the Board. The amount of such Compensation Fee shall be agreed between the two Clubs concerned or in default of such agreement should be determined by the Professional Football Compensation Committee on the application of either of such Clubs."

Got to chuckle at how, the moment a player leaves us after a few months (half of them in the treatment room), he's suddenly being implicitly linked with the best players in our history.

Preston is a decent fourth tier centre back - no more, no less. Main strength? Good in the air. Main weakness? Slow on the deck, and therefore prone to concede a foul when being run at. There are plenty who fit into that bracket.

He left Walsall last summer because he couldn't get a regular game. Came here, played 20-odd times, did alright and has moved sideways to a club that's offering him an extra few quid. Not a big deal.

I know Taylor is nearing the end, but to me he's much more important, just for one more year. Because he would be far more difficult to replace. Not concerned about Hussey because, under Brown in particular (and I know he also fell out with Flitcroft), his attitude stank.

The implied comparison was more to Mawson, ie a decent Div 4 stopper, who went for big money. The hope being that Preston doesn't succeed.

Given that Brown has said one of our problems is defenders who won't head the ball, Preston would have suited him very well.

 I'm not so sure as you seem to be that there are so many of the ball heading, row z, traditional lower league centre halves about.  They're becoming an endangered species.... the increased awareness of the potential damage caused by cranial contact, with ball/head/elbow, means that at the lower levels of football, heading is being phased out.  In the higher echelons, this is happening by style of play, CH's need to be able to use the ball.

Pre-Brown, we conceded 54 in 36 league games (not to mention cups - 5 at Stevenage etc). 1.5 goals per game. Preston played in the majority of those games. 

Under Brown, we conceded 11 in 10. Preston played in none of the games. 1.1 goals per game.

To take Morecambe as an example, who probably have the lowest budget in the league, they only conceded 56 all season. At the County Ground they just had a couple of big lumps at the back doing exactly what Preston used to do; they were probably better at it. Regardless of what is in or out of fashion, if a manager wants to sign a centre back who can head a ball, that is not a difficult or expensive thing to do.

That's because Brown can set up a defensive team better than Flitcroft. Points per game show that.

I don't think anybody was saying that Preston was the best thing since sliced bread, just that he was our best central defender and until replaced we are weaker without him.

I don't think Preston is or was shit, hes just not as good as some fans make out, (no I don't mean you of course) he is a fairly good CB at L2 level but saying that so could be Lancashire if he gets back to fitness alongside somebody half decent. Mayo could be if he had a good partner playing also.

There were many games when he was playing that we looked more solid at the back, there were also some games when we looked better without him in the side at the back. Mayo has twice the pace of Preston for instance when up against a speedy forward.

I would have liked to have kept him but we can replace him with comparable for probably less money so its no huge loss IMO. He always looked slow when tracking back and got caught out several times for pace, but thats to be expected with the standard of player at this level.

Having made McGivern an offer and seeing how he was without a club for so long, it wouldn't be a surprise if he accepts, that leaves us with 4 CH's, Robertson, Conroy and Romaski being the others. If Mayo comes on loan, then presumably that position is sorted.

I thought he looked fine in the game he played and is well worth blooding in the Carpet Vans Trophy or whatever its called this year but I am not sure he is ready for the first team and would not include him in the list oif 1st teamers either.

He is big and has a bit of pace, isn't bad in the air but need sbuilding up his strength a bit first, a loan to Chippenham etc would be great for him.

I don't think Preston is or was shit, hes just not as good as some fans make out, (no I don't mean you of course) he is a fairly good CB at L2 level but saying that so could be Lancashire if he gets back to fitness alongside somebody half decent. Mayo could be if he had a good partner playing also.

There were many games when he was playing that we looked more solid at the back, there were also some games when we looked better without him in the side at the back. Mayo has twice the pace of Preston for instance when up against a speedy forward.

I would have liked to have kept him but we can replace him with comparable for probably less money so its no huge loss IMO. He always looked slow when tracking back and got caught out several times for pace, but thats to be expected with the standard of player at this level.

I thought that MP's pace was his main asset as a defender!
Seemed quick over 5 or 10 yards and managed most of the time to just nick the ball away.
Distribution was hopeless though, but not a problem in a Flitcroft team.

Hopefully a fit Conroy will progress well with PB.

Really? I saw him about 10 times and I though he was often beaten for pace by strikers running past him which was why he gave away so many fouls.

He would like to think that wouldn't he ;) all I remember was the Coventry and Lincoln penalties he gave away he was clumsy and well behind men breaking away from him with pace.

Even Hylton ran him ragged home to Luton and Hylton is not quick by any means.

Revell is the type of signing we could have done with as target man this season TBH.

I do hope that no matter what we sign one big lump of a centre forward who can play target man in the Akinfenwa/Hylton style.

If he wasn't such a prick and fallen out with Power and Brown then Ranger would fit that perfectly.

If the 20% is true and he does go for £9m then we would be in line for possibly as much as £1.75m, whether that will go on new players/club or not we will have to see in time.

Either way Mr Power will be very pleased with that bit of business.

That is disappointing if true, in the past he has always hinted there was a sell on. Not like Trump, I mean Power to not have a some money riding on it, though he may not have brokered the final deal himself.

Poor deal for City given the current crazy transfer climate. I thought they'd have managed to get £10m. The sell on should cover LP's planning/consultancy fees for his purchase of the ground.

Given how old he is i’d say that is not a bad bit of business. Also there just may be a sell on clause for the slave traders, doubtful but you never know.

Just watching an old episode of ‘Can’t pay, we’ll take it away’. I’m sure the ex premiere league player being chased for money owed to a dog kennel is an ex town player. Rather large shorts comes to mind.....
And a vicious wife ....  probably more vicious than the dog he promised to pay for.

I'll be in the minority here but I wish Flint all the best. Yes he was/is a cock, that was evident when I played against him in my youth (before he was a pro) at Pinxton. But he was a decent player then and I wasn't surprised when he became a pro. Made it more interesting that we gave him his first pro contract. Don't be fooled that he owes Town anything, if we hadn't signed him up, there were plenty sniffing around locally. It was more chance that Laurie Wilson played for Alfreton at the time (Danny Wilson's son) and that led to a spark of interest. The rest is history.

Yep he's been a cock to us and maybe he'll look back i time and think he could've said things differently. Young and immature are two common couplings in football.

In some ways this is kind of an indirect way of saying thanks, c£1m at L2 level (regardless of where it's spent) is a lovely bit of money/business.

Cheers Aden.

* On a side note, I thought he'd have taken an offer at a Prem club, he's always had a desire to play for Man Utd (that may not happen) but I think Burnley may have been in the chase for him, which would've given some great exposure at European level. I guess he's cashed in (wages wise) now as Middlesborough will be really going for automatic this season.

Ramble done, signing off.

Think the deal was structured so gladwin was the major fee with luongo as a makeweight. I think it was an attempt to fuck spurs over on the sell on. On that basis I'd be surprised if we had a decent sell on. May have been too clever for our own good. Hope I'm wrong.

I’d be happy to see him back, but we don’t really need another midfielder. We need a CB - preferably 2 - and a striker.

Whatever happened to Brown’s Plan B - Mayonnaise?

I don't think we will sign another experienced central midfielder, yes centre backs and a striker are priority.

Mayo is still out injured and hasn't featured for Rovers yet in any friendly.

Sean Murray having trials with Lincoln, apparently he was a "wonderkid" at Watford :D



footballleagueworld.co.uk went for it...

Quote
After a loan spell at Wigan, he switched to Swindon Town.

In that one move, his promise disappeared. His time at Swindon was brief, six months is all it took to go from aspiring Premier League youngster to free agent in League One.

A rift grew between him and Tim Sherwood and by the time the season finished, he was with Colchester United, his contract cancelled.

Always used to amuse me when Macari was gaffer.... Stigger Foley would have a good summer and return out of shape, Macari would then get him wearing what looked like the plastic nappy holder that babies wear and running laps of the CG extension, like a very naughty boy while all the others played with the ball.

Lower league footballers not involved in PO's get a decent break..... very easy to get out of shape very quickly. Stigger would sweat it out doing the laps and then be up and running.  I'd imagine that TM has had a decent summer.

I didn't realise that he was one of our pro contract thingy winners, looking at this he seems a case in point of a fairly unremarkable career until he found the right club, good luck to him, dunno whay Accy paid for him but seems good business for them if £1.2 being banded about, although scary that is the going rate for a striker off the back of 1 half decent season, he got 16 in 49 games, Richards got 11 in 20 games for us!!

I am surprised you didn't realise that was the same Kayden Jackson TBH.

TBF of all the strikers we have come up against this season only 3 have impressed me and thats Hylton of Luton, Akinfenwa of Wycombe (despite his lack of pace he run us ragged), and ex Town player Kayden Jackson at Accrington, the rest have looked fairly average against our poor defence.
He (Kayden Jackson) looks twice the player he was when he was with us, has found pace and control and added finishing to his armoury, could be one player we missed out on and let go too soon.

if £1.2 being banded about, although scary that is the going rate for a striker off the back of 1 half decent season, he got 16 in 49 games
Mo Eisa was transfered from Cheltnumb to Shitty on the back of one good season for £1.25m last week, 23 goals in 45 games.

Teams are willing to pay a lot of money for goalscorers no matter which division they come from.

Last season Omar Bogle was transfered from Grimsby to Wigan for £1m for having 1 and a half good seasons, scoring 32 in 68 games in L2.

It seems that £1m or so is a sum that many Championship sides can afford to gamble on players from lower leagues becoming goalscorers in higher divisions.


Title: Re: The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread
Post by: Batch on Monday, July 30, 2018, 13:30:22
It was mentioned a bit when he scored against us last year.
