Need a big performance today this is last chance saloon for us.

3-0 win for us i reckon with cuthbert getting the first.

2-1....tight affair with a partisan crowd breathing in the ball over the line at the Town End two mins from time.

We will win 4-1

Couple of weeks without a home game. Bit of a re-group within the dressing room. Wilson has some breathing space with a decent performance under his belt, despite the shit result.

All bodes well for a positive atmos at home vs Carlisle. If we can get our nose in front, we'll win by a country mile, the pressure cooker will spring a massive fucking leak and we'll be climbing up the table towards relative (ish) safety.

i'm being a completely positive cunt. No fucking room for negativity.

Win or Down.

we better fucking win.

We're going to win 2–1

Im going today which means it will be a shit 0-0 draw.

win or its league 2, im packing my bags for morecambe away as we speak

We've got to start putting back to back wins together if we have any hope of avoiding the drop.  
It's 13 points from the next 5 games and the first win begins today.
2 0 to the Town, can't wait.

Gotta feeling we are gonna pull it off and win convincingly today, and hopefully it will be a big boost of confidence, however carlise are no pushovers though

Easy victory. A breath taking performance with the finest quality throughout. 3-0.

0-2 same old, same old. The players / management are still spouting the same old shit in the papers. What's changed? The first goal is absolutely vital. I think the fans will do their part but I fear if we go a goal down. The fans will go to one extreme or the other - greater backing or a complete meltdown. I hope I'm wrong.

Any Swindon fan with a brain needs to be behind the team today. Even if we go a goal down.

If we dont win today then it wont be same old same old, it will be hello League 2.

3-1. Quick out of the blocks and a goal up inside the opening 10 mins.
 
Need some consistency in the team selection so keep it the same as Colchester with Sheehan in for Rose being the only change.

We're not "down" if we lose today... It won't fecking help though. Every game is a proverbial 'must win' until we are either...

a) Out of this (on the pitch) mess

or

b) Actually relegated.

How about getting behind the team until the very end? That's my plan.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. oh yeah.

We're going to fucking win today and win convincingly. 4-0. or 4-1. or 4-2 or 4-3.

we'll lose 2-0

Einstein's theory :)

2-1 Town. The seasons fightback starts now.

3-0 capitulation.

4-2 JD scores first 440/1
4-3 AF scores first 1250/1

that would be nice - or just a 2-1 to us Benyon(2)

I doubt Andrew Fitton will be starting, so save your money ;)

If we dont win today, I will still be right behind the team, in the hope that we dont finnish bottom of the league.

3-0 Benyon, Ritchie, Douglas.

A lot of people seem confident about today. I'm still a little wary, but if we click today then we'll give them an absolute schooling.

At least that's what I hope.

I love Diners Drive ins and Dives!

I've got my usual mid Saturday morning positive groove on.  I'm positively thinking of a positive performance resulting in a positive result of 3-1 to the Town.  I'm absolutely fucking positive of that.   :1st:

I am with you Sam, we can thrash, not just beat but thrash pretty much any team in this league when we click, trouble is we are fully clicking at the moment.

Even with a break of a week and the troops reformed and ready for battle, its a massive game but one I don't think we will get a result from.

I used to be very positive about games but thats waning, a 1-0 defeat totally against the run of play with us all over them from the start but unable to finish, 6,432 crowd, with 52 from Carlisle.

a wave of optimism so real you could surf on it...............

today is the first day of the rest of the season. 2-0 win. But those predicting Douglas to score have seriously tentative grasps of reality. get help. benyon and ritchie. cries of Danny WIlson for President before bedtime.

Minty.

1-1. Another good performance but the luck just isn't there for us.

Wilson got some credit for us playing well but losing. Will he get slated if we play shit and win?

Probably.

It will be ugly but we will win 2-1 and I will be there...

Red Army :clap:

Is this your new catchphrase? Because it's not that catchy :(

We'll win today, coupling it with a good performance.

we are gonna win 2-1 today

After we keep playing well and losing, think its time for something different.

A shit performance and a scrappy 1-0 win will do nicely, thank you very much.

I'm going 3-1 to us I reckon the chances will go in today and I'll kneecap any negative bastard giving the players shit during the game

Back of drs on town end side is giving its full vocal backing today. South oxon reds in full force.

A tight 1-0 win. A goal from a midfielder.

Battling draw. Just can't see us winning games any time soon.

It seems ages since I've been internetting for a mdt. Feel a bit up for some heavy typing today.

You get the joy of my girls screaming during the match as well today.  Probably wont be shouting the right things, but they'll be shouting all the same.

I have a feeling its a catchphrase that doesn't have much mileage in it.

Infact, its probably only lasted through to today because of rain in Exeter.

I'd fucking love it - if I could actually say it in the next 4 match day threads!

If you smell...

Any word on a line-up yet?

No.

Pre-game Messaround? Fucking hell, everyone touch wood.

Sounds like they are expecting an unchanged side. I think that is the right decision.

Season Ticket prices being mentioned now...sounds cheap (frozen?) if you renew early but gets expensive if you leave it beyond April.

It is indeed unchanged...

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2296921,00.html

Just got here & fuelled up on a football special from the chippy.

We desperately need a win, and for some unknown reason think we will sneak it today.

Just hope that if things don't start well that we get behind the team.

2-1 Town, goals for Obika & Benyon

£2 for chips and a jumbo sausage....  Always a good start to the afternoon.   :D

Full line ups -

Swindon Town: David Lucas; Paul Caddis, Andy Frampton, Scott Cuthbert, Michael Rose; Jon-Paul McGovern, Jonathan Douglas (c), Michael Timlin, Matt Ritchie; Elliot Benyon, Jonathan Obika
Substitutes: Phil Smith (GK), Aden Flint, Billy Bodin, Simon Ferry, David Prutton, Thomas Dossevi, Alan Sheehan

Carlisle United: Adam Collin; Liam Noble, Peter Murphy, Lubomir Michalik, Frank Simek (c); Tom Taiwo, James Berrett, Francois Zoko, Matt Robson; Ben Marshall, Rory Loy
Substitutes: Tony Caig (GK), Danny Livesey, Craig Curran, Gary Borrowdale, Patrick MAddin, Nahki Wells, Marc-Antoine Gbarssin

Referee: D Whitestone

2-0 to town

shit. already? just finding my radio.

Lucas back in? Does that mean the rumours were true?

David Lucas named as the new Vice Captain, sounds like Cuthbert has had a bit of a fall out with Danny then.......Lucas is an organiser though and has a powerful voice and is a better leader IMO.

2-0 Town today. Following this match online as I can't get to the ground today.

Come on you Reds! Let's hope for a roaring atmosphere at the CG today. Versus Rochdale it was very quiet.

JUST FUCKING WIN YOU CUNTS!

Not a fan of keeper captains.

well that tumbleweed joke really worked.

Arr agreed.

urg agreed

Playing tumbleweed rather than the interview from the Ice Hockey was brilliant!

What rumours was that?

That twer me poyrat voice, arrrrr.

about lucas and charlie austin.

Cant bear to listen to this, I shall check back at full time. PLEASE FUCKING WIN TOWN!!!!

fucking armchair langers.

A question from a fan on the radio

"is jon Nurse of Dagenham related to Mel Nurse who used to play for Swindon"

only if Mel Nurse was our sowing his wild seeds in Barbados!

A real MASSIVE game for us, COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!

are you making these up? I don't think I heard any of these rumours

A fucking huddle?

You make it difficult for me to support you swindon.

There were some rumours on here about Charlie and Lucas's missus a few weeks ago.

haha I thought I was just making stuff up/

oooooh nearly

Ah but is it a game of two lies? :D

Sounded like a great cross by Rose.

Dancing bear, young and sweet and had lots of hair oooh-oooh

[url width=468 height=361]http://www.theolivepress.es/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/dancing-bear.jpg[/url]

Anything much happened so far?

The bears are dancing

A bit quiet on here this afternoon, I gotta piss off about 4pm too so can only listen to the first half, hope we are winning by then!

Simon Smith and his dancing bears.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8zI5xjwKYw

'tis a bit dead. First home game for a while innit. fucfking scummy cunts.

Obika sounds lively today.

I was going to start a radio email and text campaign but I don't think there's enough of us.

About what?

I've got at least three phones and half a dozen email accounts.

I'll take that and the subsequent posts as a no then

Not about anything. Just maybe see how many texts we could get read out with the words "dancing bear". Or cheeses or something/

Come on Swindon, kindly score please.

The townend revolution using the power of the Internet to overthrow the oppressive regime of the moderators

Nothing at all.

Although reports on Facebook suggest the Carlisle fans have a sign that says Zoko > Pericard.

Benyon may be injured ffs

possible hamstring.

I'd say he definitely has a hamstring.

Oh great  >:(

yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn.

Doesn't sound like he's going to last either.

Colchester 1 - 0 Walsall

So we at least cling on in 21st for now

There is really nothing happening whatsoever...

benyon off for dossevi

Dossevi on for Benyon.

Bets on an offside for Dossevi in his first 5 minutes?

Carilisle have possession. possession is theft

Dossevi striping off sexy fun time.

Benyon off Dossevi on then.

save from a Cuthbert header

corner

Cuthbert in shot on target shock. swindon corner

Cuthbert header, great save by their keeper.

haha. that exciting isn't it?

We're more or less the only three on here and we're all posting updates.... Why?

In comparison....yes!

Obika hits it wide

Poor miss by Obika clean through on goal.

Nevertheless: Obika shoots wide

and 65 guests where are you.

I am here :D

Dossevi's picked up an injury too

If Carlisle score, then you'll get a few more members contributing.

Carlisle score

You've done it again, damn you

1-0 to them....here we go again.

sounds like a good goal.

Not again  :doh:

It's the ref's fault

I'm going to update the thread title out of something to do.

30 to 40 yarder! FFS

Does Billy Bodin have a cauldron with him on the bench?

Ritchie misses at the far post

Matt Ritchie misses an open goal.

Bit harsh, really tight angle

Dossevi misses a header from 6 yards which would have missed if there were two goals together.

And they then score a screamer.

And then WE miss what sounded like an easy equaliser

If Dossevi goes off will Billy B come on?  Will it be his first appearance for the first team?

Only going by what Phil King was saying, its hard to get a proper idea from the radio commentary.

Dossevi's fucked, telling the bench he's injured

Dossevi strugling.

Billy Bodin or 4-5-1 at home whilst one nil down.

Bets on Wilson's decision.

Don't worry, Ritchie says we'll be fine :)

Obika has played 4-5-1 when at Yeovil so is not a stranger to the formation, but not very attacking really.

Typical of us to waste a few chances then concede a wonder goal. Game isn't over yet but we need to take our chances. Sounds like Dossevi is injured. Bodin possibly coming on?

Bugger - BBC just updated.  Oh well, hang in there I guess

We need to win soooooooooo the most attacking option please.

Bodin made his debut earlier this season

anybody elses Player not working?

Nah he came on against Daggers, did OK.

Just as we bring a few more strikers in could do without a load of them going down injured, does Dossevi's problem sound bad?

Would be good experience for Billy Bodin before he makes the Supermarine first team.

Nope mine is very good today with almost no breaks in transmission at all so far.

All Carlisle at the mo

I'm losing my faith quicker than Jonathan Edwards.

Someone in front of the comm box has serious anger issues

Brezovan has made two errors to give Stoke City a 2-0 goal lead. Plus ca change, eh?

Dossevi offside? Cannot be, surely

Leave him alone, he's injured  ;)

And offside apparently!

Listening to this game is like taking a shit in my brain

rrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

I haven't heard anyone blame Wilson yet

so I went on thisis

doomster, Swindon says...
3:35pm Sat 19 Feb 11
So glad I didn't go and watch us lose again. Wilson has killed football for me. Watching Bath at rugby is becoming appealing

it is fucking dire

It was fun for the first 15 minutes or so. Then it died a bit and they got a goal, which is never fun.

half-time thankfuck


coffee anyone?

Sounds like were doing really well until their goal. Not a lot of cutting edge up front though it seems.

yeah whoopi please!

Don't do it to yourself - it's enough to make you want to self -harm

Clearly a gay mong if he's watching the rugby players bath

I'm glad I don't have to pretend I'm a proper fan by going to games and shit.

First half summary.

Started well, created a few chances & didn't score.

They scored

Created a few more chances but still didn't score.

Overall have played fairly well, certainly don't deserve to be behind.

Comedy moment, the Lino giving offside direct from a goal kick, useless cunt

another fuck game we are losing but shouldn't be.  I'm not having a go at the new boys but I just can't see where the goals are coming from.  rela fuck ing gat ion

I love this club. I like Wilson. But what the hell is he going to say if we lose this game? After all the build up.

Sounds like Prutton on for Dossevi

 ???

Prutton coming on for Dossevi.

4-5-1 at home when we're 1-0 down, niiiiiiiice.

We were the better team in the first half and created a good few half chances. They scored against the run of play with a decent strike from distance. We'll get a draw at best if we're lucky.

Looked like the linesman gave an offside against us from a goal kick. Really shouldn't be making mistakes like that.

Prutton on for Dossevi.

Wilson switcheroo

?? sounds like you've lost the will!!

JUST WIN THE FUCKING GAME DOWN....JUST FUCKING WIN!!!!!!! :contract:

Prutton will move to left back with rose on the lm and then Lucas upfront.

Wtf has ferry done? Cant get a game....

[url width=48 height=48]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/coyrgiflayers.gif[/url]

No we're not sticking ritchie up front we're going 4-5-1 at home when 1-0 down.

King reckons it's 4-5-1.

Just like to point out that I never liked Wilson. Even when we were good.

I can't help myself, I keep looking at the Adver site. Fucking mongs.

Being polite is not working - care to try again?  :)

Could be 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1.  Difficult to tell. Only 1 upfront though.

Are you sure it's not 4-1-1-1-1-1-1?

4-5-1 can still be attacking as long as the wide men get up in support of Obika and Prutton can play quite high up the pitch and make forward runs.

Let's get an equaliser soon and this game's got a long way to go yet

 COYR

It was 0-0 back them... Ah, those truly were the minutes.

will this tool of a manager finally get the sack today if we dont win again today??? no win in ten fucking pathetic!!

Hehe.. 'tool'.

They look a bit young.

Here's Obikaaa.... urgh save

fucking.

can't even be fucked to post recovery lesbians.

Surely hes got to be sacked by Monday.

Otherwise i can see us losing by 5 goals or more against Saints next weekend

They do a bit don't they. might edid that ouit

cool story bro

I liked it

In fairness we could get a result today and still get tonked at Southampton.

If us losing today means he gets sacked, the regretfully id take a 1-0 loss now

twat

Wilson won't be sacked. He's Fitton's loverboy. No chance!

FFS. I predicted this months ago. Won't bother to rant anymore.  End of story.

Good afternoon, by the way. How's the game? Why the fuck are you lot here on TEF and don't in the TE?!?

I don't really like football.

I feel a drunken rant coming in tonight!

We're not doing too well then?

But this is a rant, isn't it?

Go on!

Why ?

Cant see Wilson keeping us up, but can see a new manager saving us.

Sad thing is we will get a point today and people like you will still want this clown in chharge come Monday

You are right, I can't be arsed saying anything about Wilson anymore either, We will just go down and the board will have to take the consequences.

That was the shittest rant I've ever seen. You should be ashamed Norway Red.

would you like to see us relegated if it meant Wilson leaving?

If Norway Red doesn't produce a proper rant by 1430GMT I will ban STFC-4-THE-MOMENT.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear!

Going to go back to the DIY after reading a depressing 14 pages!

No, but he would be sacked by then anyway.  

Ferry's coming on.

Ferry on Obika off.

I honestly think Danny Wilson won't get his contract renewed when it runs out at the end of the season.

Sweet! No forwards!

no-one is happy with dw we have just accepted the fact that fitton wont sack him

I was joking btw. Don't everybody meltdown just yet.

1-0 down and none up front at home?

Cool!

But you'd happily see us lose out of short-sighted spite, so why not hope we get relegated? Perhaps the board will sell up.

p.s. I don't want him in charge either.

timlin off

Twunt! :-)

Booo.

We playin 4-6 like Scotland i take it

Dubai to the county ground is abit of a trek!!! plus i'd rather spend 17 quid on hookers here instead then watch the shite coming out of sn1 this season !!

Where's Benyon?

Ferry on for Timlin.

Come on then you cunts FUCKING SCORE PLEASE

When was ferrys last start?

went off injured early on. Dossevi came on for him, got injured himself and was replaced at half time by Prutton.

At the match update: Fred Elliot says it's "fucking embarrassing".

Rovers away

I think it was against Oldham or was it Rovers?

A draw would create that always great reaction of "ARGH! IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUT AT LEAST WE DIDN'T LOSE... MUST WIN NEXT WEEK"

Ooooh errr bit of a disaster

Am I all of a sudden two hours in front of you??! No way!

Rovers winning

Probably be bottom come next weekend

Indeed! From commentary sounds like we've played fairly well though, created a couple of decent chances just can't convert. Their goal a screamer as well by all accounts.

oops 1630.

Either way it's too late/ sorry STFC 4tm

On the positive side: I would take Danny Wilson every day compared to a manager like Gary Megson.

And I don't mean that in an 'up his rear alley'-way!  >:(

Those comments sounds familiar. Is this a deja-vu?

Thank goodness for that.

I think there's a trend emerging this season.

Cheers for recap london, Im at a customers at the mo so cant skim through the whole thread in my phone

Ferry is in hundred acre wood but pooh bear is busy having a shit.

How long left?

dunno. 10mins?

77 days!

An eternity.


COME ON YOOOOOOOOOOOU REDS!

Wrexham 2 Gateshead 7

Caddis MOTM

Douglas heads just over the bar...


...and into the vodka

At least we're doing better than Wrexham.

2-7 at home to Gateshead at the moment. I bet Dean Saunders will be a busy man filling out his Jobseekers CV tomorrow...

... and don't even think about it, Andrew Strap... eh.. Fitton!

Wrexham are 4th.

But yes, we are not in Non-League football.

I've just been to St MArys to buy tickets for me and kids to watch us play Saints next week, the last time I saw us play was the 1.0 win  :hmmm:at the County Ground, last season... lets hope I am a lucky ommen.....

I would take Paul Tisdale anyday!

Well done editing that one ;)

Obika goes alone when Ferry was open. saved. Ferry angry.

Another chance spurned by Obika.

Waste waste waste. Great chance and we fail to take it AGAIN.

We are just not going to score are we?

sounds like we've woken up a bit anyway.

It certainly sounds like one of those days where we could play all night and not score

Well done comparing us to irrelevant matches from other divisions ;)

Charlton 0-3 Exeter!

Can't blame him. If I were Ferry I would have been pissed. Not on Obika, however!

3-1 actuqally reeves.

 :D Cheers!

Aberdeen 5 Kilmarnock 0

Fair point.

Carlisle breaking on. But Caddis eats his man,.

Then we give it away and they have another chance.

Sounds like we are a mess right now

It does.

no idea how much added time

Andrew Fitton is probably in the US, I presume? Working on something completely irrelevant to Swindon Town FC?

Mass exodus - not surprised

Christ almighty, we are possibly going down!

The jews are leaving egypt

FT

Nasty.

angry fans.

Well, he is a businessman.

i hope a new manager has already been found, and is ready to take over on monday.
the only hope we have of survival in league 1.

Oh dear

Wonder what excuses the cunt will give on the radio now

Agreed

If the fans show real, genuine disatisfaction then the board will listen.... Eventually.

Oh dear. The way I see it, we're more likely to go down than stay up now. before I would have said it was 50/50 but I'm losing any confidence. I'm generally pretty optimistic but am now almost resigned to going down.

Wilson has to go doesn't he? Can't be any excuses left.

Well then I fucking hope he will take care of his business at STFC!!!

Not too pleased myself

This

Agree.

Hmmmm not good. Plenty of games to go still, but no win in ten and every game that goes by is more pressure.

Good thing we've got a 3 points banker at St Mary's next week.

injurys i bet

FUCKING CUNTS!!! WHAT THE FUCK !! MORE SHIT TO COME FROM MY CUNTING POXFORD SUPPORTING COUSINS!!! FUCK OFF WILSON!!

Don't be a moron.

FUCKING GET OUT WILSON!!

I don't think he's reading the forum.

could you join your friends on the adver site please?

Sadly, we are going down.
Too many deluded players who do their talking in the paper rather than on the pitch.  They all want a good kick up the backside

So you would rather see that he doesn't take some sort of responsibility of the situation we're in, and seek to solve the misery and try to work towards keeping us in League One?

I wish you well!

Right now we could do with the "new manager" syndrome, where the players play out of their skins to keep their places. Should be worth a few much needed points alone.

Let's make it a decent manager as well that will keep them playing well (enough).

Sorry Danny, you've had your chance.

After Saints we play Walsall, Plymouth and Dagenham.

Get a new manager in, get the morale back in the team, and we could pick up 7 points from those last 3 games.

If Wilson is in charge, i reckon we will get maximum of 3 points

Advice needed - do I stay and listen to "the interview" and the texts or go and start getting pissed?

Let me know why you fancy Danny Wilson, please?

STFC-4-MOment is just angry because he cares more than the rest of you. Don't judge him to harsh just because yuo're not as much of a fan.

I fear you're right!

You what?

I'm going for option 2.

Look forward to reading the post mortem from those who were at the game later. Guessing it won't be good.

10 games without a win, 7 defeats in those 10 games.

The only change we can make is to replace Wilson so he's got to do or we'll go out not with a bang but a wimpy

Couldn't agree more, A change in manager might save us, Wilson won't, He needs to go now and then i will believe we have a chance of staying up.

Let me take a wild guess at our central midfield line-up vs. Soton:

Timlin & Douglas

Can they be the new Siegfried & Roy?

Fitton has other business interests that, you know, help keep our club running.

i agree with this,but i fear it may be too late now.
has to be worth the gamble though

This is exactly what I wanted to say but couldn't. The ladyboy hits the nail on the head.

It couldn't get much worse whoever comes in, we're more or less consigned to relegation already so why not?

Of course he has. It is a question about priorites, Costanza

Do you know what his other interests are?

STFC is not his priority.

Jenga

 ::)

Wilson doesn't sound like he's a man on the way out this week.

Nope, very relaxed.

I dont see how Wilson can stay now, surely it's gone on long enough

He sounds more composed than he did the other week

On an unrelated note, the club should stop the fucking players talking shit to the media.

"Struggling Swindon Town will be 'fine' - Matt Ritchie"
"Swindon Town's Benyon & Frampton confident of survival"
"Jon Obika targets safety for Swindon Town"
"Rose wants teams to fear coming to Town"
"We must stick together - Rose"
"THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DAVID: We can't crumble every time we concede"

These are all from the last couple of weeks, all total bullshit platitudes, clichés and hollow sentiment.

 :doh: supprising was the atmoss in the first 15, which was put well and truly back to silent after yet another poor display, no shape giving the ball away time & time again, i saw something in the last 20 mins or so which convinces me, IMO we are going to be relegated, WHAT IS IT I HEAR YOU ASK???, well it was the sheer look of panic & cant be botherd attitude  :badmood: look on there faces

He sounds like a man who's here until the end of the season whatever happens.

I'd be a bit pissed off now if I was hoping we'd lose so he'd get sacked.

The BBC is an 'easy' interview for DW.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I couldn't take them seriously before, even less so now - there had better not be any more this week.

Danny is telling us to remain positve.  :eek:

Eerily calm interview.

SY - isn't the whole point of this place that people can air their views, as many times as they want?

FWIW, he's right isn't he?

If you look up the word blase in the dictionary, you will see Danny Wilson's face.

Wilson's slightly patronising manner in interviews makes it very difficult to like him.

It's also about trying to get people to bite and he never does, it was my last ditch attempt.

(and yes he's right)

It is, isn't it?  :hmmm:

Not to mention the fact he's doing a useless shitcunt job

Yeah and that.

No Danny, you clearly can't control the football side of it.

Some of his last words were "we'll be fine".
Doubt there are many who will agree.

If you didn't know the reality of the situation, you'd think we're midtable listening to that interview. Bizarre.

A quite unbelievable interview,you wouldn't think that we hadn't won for 10 games.

Is Wilson on prozac he sounded so relaxed.

Somebody said that the club is sleepwalking to relegation and they haven't realised.

As for Vic not wanting to ask about being in the bottom 4,because we don't want to talk about that.Yes we do because we can see the urgency.

Wake up!

I like Vic, but the interview the other bloke did a couple of games ago after danny wilson had done sneaky spy subs was much more pressing.

It was a terrible interview. Proper journalism is required, not this "Ah we won't be negative" mentality.

it could be worse, at least we we didnt have to spend all that money getting to old trafford today, unlike those silly cunts from crawly :cry:

Never should have lost. Main problem was never looked like scoring despite making chances. Which wouldn't be an issue if it was a one off. But it isn't, its the rest of our fucking season.

[url width=200 height=200]http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q232/LouPickney/game-over.jpg[/url]

The performance was good and I thought we were clearly the better team from start to finish. Carlisle never ever looked like scoring and their defenders were slow as fuck.

The attitude was right, the application was right and the performance was good.

Injuries didnt help, although Benyon wasnt fit from the start.

The only thing that was really bad was the result, which is a real shame because the result was the only thing that fucking mattered today.

2 months ago i'd have taken some positives from that performance, too late.

That it, done, season over, relegation, league two.

cunt.

Didn't bring on Bodin because 'experience was needed'. One nil down, desperate for points so bring on another midfielder. Going to spend a few hours this evening trying to work out the logic there.

I thought it was dross. Carlise scored a worldy and did nothing else, but defended brilliantly. Our midfield is full of industry but no skill to break down defences, which was evident today. Our best chances came from balls over the top, which Obika should have done better with.

Utter crap, boring to watch, and a lot of sloppy mistakes. A lot of the players seem visibly nervous, especially cuthbert.

Crowd was shit, though the singing woman was alright at what she does.

We only tried to play on the second half and by then it was too late - Carlisle have an organised defence and they were confident by that stage.

Crowd was good at the start but the team gave nothing back

Just got back, yes we lok better on the ball than one month ago  but that isn't hard is it for fucksake.

Again for me total utter bullshit subs again by wilson he leaves me totally fucking bemused.He has no iontention whatsoever of playing billy bodin which is fine but if thats the case dont bother putting him on the bench.

2nd half we have a midfield of douglas timlin mcgovern prutton and ritchie dropping back which left obika up against two defenders when first half he had the beating of the centre half everytime.First half was ok he should of left it like it was or just done like for like subs ffs.

Also has anyone else noticed that Frampton is far from a fucking saviour doesn'tn want the ball and to quick to let others take responsibility.

Most who know me know i will support til the end but whether it makes me a moany cunt or not i couldn't give a fuck Wilson has to go i don't give a fuck if the new manager makes a difference because this cunt will take us down simple as that.We had to rebuild in the summer and struggled and we are going to do it again this summer.

Take wembley away ignore that it's the past it's no good him getting us to wembley if it means we end up at fucking barnet away next season.

Bar one mistake he was 10xs the player frampton was in my opinion

We flattered to deceive today. All hustle and bustle but no real threat of scoring. But then again neither did Carlisle apart from one worldly shot which went straight in the top corner.

I personally think we have nothing to lose by getting rid of Wilson now. If he stays we go down, if we get someone else in the we might at least give it a good go.

Two of our subs were due to injuries, hardly Wilsons fault.

Although Benyon was holding his hamstring from the start.

She did that X-Factor thing of holding and wobbling notes for no apparent reason which I find deeply annoying. Warbler OUT!

I would say bringing on prutton for Dossevi was his choice of player he had 4 others to choose from,i would say he chose to put him right midfield instead of mcgovern and would say he chose to play ritchie up front to win the flick ons and ferry left midfield.

How many shots did we have on target today,genuine question i dont know

4 shots on target according to the beeb and the OS.

Cheers sonic

4 according to the BBC (6 for Carlisle). I think they just pull them out of a hat.

How many meaningful shots on target? Probably 1 that Obiyka should have fucking squared for a tap in.

c'mon DV update the stats ti 52 points please

already have.

Err, he already has.

Got to say I thought it was a decent game, result apart.  We tended to go for the glory pass instead of the simple one.  Disappointing to see Benyon go off, cos it let Dossevi into the game and his contribution . . . one easy chance spurned, one offside and a pass from the half way line to set up their goal and then he's gone.  Waste of good oxygen!  Too many players running around like headless chickens in the second half when a bit of quality was required.  :eek:

I thought that he would put Ritchie up front.

DW seemed to like that a couple of weeks ago and IIRC, Ritchie even got a goal or two.

Think he tried to match them in midfield BR.

In what universe would that be a good tactic when losing at home?

The one where we had two strikers go off injured and had a choice of match them in midfield or playing a youngster with 8 minutes professional football under his belt who isnt even striker but everyone thinks he is upfront.

he isn't anything sat on his arse

That's the one where we lost again, right?

But we were matching them already ffs mcgovern and ritchie were doing fine where they were they were our most dangerous outlets he changed the whole midfield system around for the sake of one striker. I agree about bodin he isn;t our saviour but why put him on the bench at all if you have no confidence in him

Despite having Ritchie, whom DW thought it was a good idea to play as a striker previously still on the field?

The same Ritchie who even got a goal or two in that position?

Very true arriba, got to be worth a punt

@leefer Brock drew at Christchurch 1-1 last night

Poole game called off today

I thought we looked more dangerous when Prutton came on.

No idea what formation we were playing mind.

Really? we had one shot on target second hald in the 89th minute

had a few sherberts today?

We upped the tempo and were hammering in crosses. No fucking strikers to get on the end of them though.

First half I thought we were largely plod plod with the odd chance. 50 pence head Cuthbert missing the target with 2. I'm probably wrong but I can't remember the keeper making a save fist half.

Of wait, he made a good save actually.

Dont you love saturdays.

Im going to end up chinning the bloke behind me

What a cunt

Maybe,wish i had more after that total shower of shit. Limp wristed bunch of cunts

Not impressed with the throw-ins then DRS?

Not impressed with fuckall today

Looking forward now to next week. Think we'll scab a 1-0 :doh:

I thought we looked better when Prutton and Ferry came on too we just lacked that finish.  Obika tried his best and i think he'll come good. I hate to say it but I think we need a Pericard type player up front who will draw the defenders away from Benyon & Obika to get them goals.  Dossevi is truly awful 2nd touch of the game and it goes straight to the Carlisle player who scores a 35 yarder.

Caddis rightly got man of the match today he is settling in to the team.  Despite the loss i still remain confident we'll stay up but we need to get that elusive win soo and another striker is Benyon is injured long term

Do you get your crack cheap?

To be fair to the moaners, only a win would have sufficed today.

What a complete shambles 2011 has been at STFC. A complete and utter disgrace.

GAME OVER.

No just blind optimism.  It's never over until it's over but we do miss a strong player up front to to feed Benyon or Obika

I've just got home, and not read this thread yet, but what a load of bollocks that was, not only that but Joey Beauchamp was featured in the official match-day programme. Is someone taking the piss or what?

His other interests is hookers and cellphones

I'd say if he'd only pay attention to his communcation interests, he'd rather still be the chairman of Hungerford FC

The fact that he's paid off the former owners at Swindon, done brilliant things to get the club in balance (even plus profit) is very much accepted - but the way he has run the management staff business at STFC surely tells me (hopefully; us all) that he is not the most competent guy in judging what kind of manager is best for a football club. I mean; Maurice Malpas??

(No, Coz - I'm not saying I would done a better job. I would not)

I wonder what role Jeremy Wray and his betting firm partners have in negotiating and scouting managers/coaching staff::

Paul Sturrock recommended Maurice Malpas to the club. In other words, Fitton didn't really make the signing - only the formal parts of it.

Danny Wilson wasn't even in the runnings when we were searching for a new manager. He was still at Hartlepool. Then he got sacked (resigned? oh, he wouldn't...!), and suddenly came into the limelight as the new Swindon manager. Did DW come forward to Fitton him self?

Fitton has done a good great deal for the club, and I love him for that. I just don't think he (or Paul Sturrock) is the man to find us the right kind of manager.

Can we afford to buy Nicky Hammond off Reading as our Football Director?? I would forgive him the two points lost at London Road back in the glory days if so!  ???

What a fucking own goal that is.

Oh my

I wish this was Football Manager 2011

 :doh: Oh dear...

Danny Wilson sacked!

Paul Bodin temporary manager rest of the season

 :pint:

Oh, sorry! It's my Tourettes!

I like Spence....he loves the Town...............as he said a shambles it is.

Thanks Batch, whoever dreamt that up, should not only be shot but tortured before hand.

I think we're doing a disservice to Carlisle who I thought soaked it all up at the back and looked pretty comfortable. How many saves did their keepr make? The guy who scored their "worldy" had set his sights a few minutes earlier by clearing the bar. They also put some pretty good crosses in. I don't think they were ace but they were professional - something we are miles away from.
Until the goal we looked Ok and up for it but then the heads go down again. Our decision making near the box was fucking awful, we always chose the wrong ball but very well summed up by Obika taking on the shot instead of playing in Ferry for a tap in. Ritchie, in particular made some bad decisions.Its not bad luck we didn't make more of our possession near the box, it was because we were shit. In the 2nd half yet again players were hiding and playing useless balls - because firstly, they wanted rid of the ball and secondly because the movement in front of them was non existent. We are completely and utterly toothless and maybe without Austin we'd have been in the crap earlier. As for the subs today - why the hell did Dossevi some on?
As it stands i can't even see where our next win is coming from let alone sufficient points to keep us up.
I'm not sure what the hell we can do now. Put the youngters in on the basis they can't be any more shit than what we've got and they may well put the effort in - they may get better but our established players won't.
One thing's for sure Wilson has got to go and go now. We need to get someone in ( even if its Zippy ) before the Southampton game but more importantly before Walsall, D&R and Plymouth.

I really don't know where to start!

Reality bites and we are down.

Huff puff and loads of guff.

Never ever looked liked scoring....ever......ever.  Obikas header straight at the keeper the best we could muster in 90 plus minutes....what a load of shit.

Wilson will come out with the usual bollocks but I am sorry Danny your time is up.....nobody can save us BUT somebody new must come in and have a few games before the drop to see what he's got before the trap door slams shut and we are in divvy 2.

No positives for today....BUT.....if prutton comes on and shines it means the team is shite!

On this showing I might even give the planned piss up at Saints a miss....I cannot be bothered with this shitN I reallyy can't!

Carlisle shit too and they are safe as houses.........I am fucking pissed off with this crapn I really am!

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2297447,00.html

At least some kind of comfort...

Paul Bodins Red and White Army!

Where were you sat Tans, cos I had a right cunt about three rows behind.  According to him everybody on the field was a cunt, and that was in the first ten minutes!!

Will you fuck off with your incoherant paul bodin bullshit, he managed the green baize and they finshed mid table ffs.

He has a valid point

Alan Mac

Just somebody spelling out the bleedin' obvious with the same passion as he did after the last match will get us enough points.

Then we can worry about next season, next season. I just want that to be in this division.

Anybody see the guy throw his red shirt onto the pitch in the last minute? :clap:

Norway red , are you Mrs Bodin or Billy Bodin!!!!!

Lot's of huff and puff but we never really looked like scoring. Can't believe we're just going to go down with a sodding whimper.

Get Lou Macari in till the end of the season. Couldn't do any harm.

Row R 40ish

It's been a bizarre season, insofar up until December, we were only a bit shit, and it looked like with a bit of tinkering here and there, we might have an OK side...but since early December more or less everything has backfired, and we've ended up with a side not capable of competing in this league.

What is most bizarre, is that this has happened on the watch of Wilson, an experienced manager, had it been some tyro like Iffy it would have been more understandable.

But we've now got a side completely lacking in the sort of qualities needed for a relegation scrap.

soapy tit wank!  The green baize... they were the days!!

We played Carlisle at home and their keeper didn't have to make one good save.  Nothing more to say.

Well, we hired a manager who got relegated to League Two with Franchise FC in the first place. So it won't make any big difference...

Sack Wilson over the weekend and get In Gary Johnson to try & motivate the team before it is too late....... this season has been a shambles and we've gone backwards:
- all Fittons purchases appear to be investment projects for the future, the experience of Greer has not been replaced and we've tried to replace Austins goals on the cheap, which you would thought we would have learnt after the abject failure of dossevi / pericard.
- we need a director of football to act as a buffer between manager / board
- relegation to D2 with our squad would be totally unacceptable

neither did Lucas. Nuff said. We just werent good enough to open up a pretty poor side.

Their number 14 looked class, and that huge lump at the back looked a cut above until he got injured, but they had fuck all else. trouble was we had fuck all at all

do i remember their keeper tipping over a cuthbert header? or is that just rosy tinted hindsight

Austin was bought on the cheap, so no other way to replace him really

They beat us 1-0.  Nothing more to say

I agree x3

No thank you

I've got no problems with the critique of Danny Wilson but can people please stop revising the last two years it weakens any arguments that you have. I've got more time for people who just tell it like it is instead of posts that seemingly disregard that Wilson kept us in the division in 2009 and took us to Wembley in 2010.

Nobody can argue that on the basis of this season, Danny Wilson is on borrowed time in a big way and, yes, should probably be out of the job by now. Nobody will go "well that's a bit harsh" if Wilson was to go in the near future.

Football is fickle.

One positive. The ref had a good game.

Oh, that reminds me. The lino gave offside from a goal kick. Baffling

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that.

Must be why we lost

It started off quite promisingly with the 'team huddle' and the crowd were really behind the team.  I felt strangely optimistic and had actually started to believe some of the crap that's been coming out of the player's mouths in the last week and honestly thought we would win.  How stupid am I?  We probably didn't deserve to go 1 down, but we had ample time to turn it around and yet again failed miserably.  We could still be playing now and wouldn't have scored.  Everyone seemed to want to go for glory today hitting shots from much to far out etc instead of playing somebody else in.  

Carlisle weren't great, but they were better organised than us, defended better and most importantly played as a team.  We might look better than we did a month ago (hardly difficult), but we're still completely disjointed as a team and at times a complete shambles.

Benyon having to go off early on and being replaced by Dossevi who then also had to go off was unfortunate.  However, as others have pointed out what is the purpose of having Billy Bodin on the bench when Wilson is clearly never going to play him.  I can't believe he would do a worse job than Dossevi and it must be pretty soul destroying for the lad.  Yet again in the interview after the game, Wilson was harping on about lack of firepower being the issue.   Well, why haven;t you tried to do something about it then, surely there must be players available to bring in on loan?  We now have 1 fit striker for a relegation battle - fucking marvellous.  I felt compelled to listen to his interview on the way home from the game, not sure why because as each one passes I get more insensed by the utter crap that comes out of his mouth.  In fact, I'd go so far as to say I'm starting to despise the bloke!

As it stands now, I can actually see us going the remainder of the season without winning and finishing bottom of League 1.   The board have imo cost us at least 9 points by leaving Wilson in charge and it may be too late to make a change now anyway.  However, we are going to be relegated under him, so our only chance (slim as it may be) of surviving is to relinquish him of his responsibilities with immediate effect and get someone in for the remainder of the season.  Nobody could actually do a worse job than he's currently doing.

I'm so pissed off with it all and quite frankly the way I feel at the moment, I won't be attending another Swindon game whilst Danny Wlson remains in charge.  I'm not prepared to sit and watch my team go out of League 1 without a battle and at the moment, that's exactly what's happening.  They can all fuck off tonight as far as I'm concerned.

You must be mistaken, that was a stirring performance today I think you will find. See 'Adver News: Wilson's reaction to Carlisle defeat' thread  :hmmm:

Are you pissed!  He was shite!

THIS


AND THIS


I actually thought we played alright, but if you lose when you play OK then there isn't much hope left.

And FWIW Danny Boy, if you have no intention of ever playing him then don't bother putting Bodin on the bench

What position does Bodin play then? I was under the impression he's a striker, never seen him play though.

Frankly I think it's more or less irrelevant who we replace Wilson with, it just needs to happen quickly and we better hope for a small miracle in terms of 'new manager effect' getting us a few points.

I'm surprised to see people comment on this squad being too good to go down, even those who performed well last season have gone backwards and others who have come in have had little positive to add.

The amount of people on here who seem to have convinced themselves that Billy cunting Bodin is the answer to our problems is hilarious.

I don't think it's that so much, more why Wilson persists in naming him on the bench, but is clearly not prepared to give him a 10 minute run out ever?

That's it. Bodin may be brilliant, shit or somewhere in between but if he's got no intention of playing him, why the fuck put him on the bench?

A couple of things, I liked the falling in love with you singing at the start.

The linesman on drs can stick his flag up his arse rather than flag for a goal kick offside.

We did ok but lacked any connection with 20 yards to go, fucking clueless to be honest and I have to agree with the Bodin comments why pick him to sit on the bench? He isn't the answer, probably, but who fucking knows if we never see him. I would wager quite heavily though he is better than Dossevi.

I suspect he isn't the answer but to me it makes sense to replace a striker with a striker (if that's what Bodin is).

He doesn't, he sits on the bench

for the benefit of those on the drs side, I can vouch for the fact that the young lady who sang it live at the start of the second half was a right looker as well.
shame she isnt a striker though

Good call. About the only improvement of the game really!

It felt good to hear it belted out before the game, I think it helped the crowed get up for getting behind the team. Shame the effect faded away after the goal.

Actually on the fans, we may have been quiet but on the whole I thought we did OK in trying to stay positive until the final whistle.

The town end joined in and most of the drs around me did also. It was good to hear it sung before we kicked off.

I've watched him play a handful of times over the last few years at Under 18s level, reserve team and pre-season friendlies against the likes of Chippenham.

I think I've seen him play upfront once and on the left wing all the other times.

That makes me far from an expert on what his position actually is but I've certainly seen him play wide left alot more times than I have seen him play upfront.

I'm pretty left wing too if I'm honest

Fair enough, I was basing my assumption on the fact he replaced Dossevi at Dag & Red.

We're looking well fucked now.

The lack of anything resembling a half decent strike force was what we all feared would take us down if we flogged Austin in the transfer window without spending money on adequate replacements.  That fear is now a reality, and it's not very fucking pleasant.

Obika and Benyon may be OK when fully fit, who knows, but I'm not convinced that that pairing is the one that will fire us out of trouble in a relatively short run of games between now and the end of the season.

Wilson and Fitton have now proved that trying to build a side with an unbalanced blend of youth, promising stars of the future and experienced pro's is a bit hit and miss. For every Charlie Austin, you seem to get half a dozen or so Thomas Dossevie's / Vinny Pericards. That's great for your incoming revenue when you flog the Charlie Austin's, but it's shite for the long term prospects of the side when you're relying on 4th rate strikers to do business that is so obviously beyond their individual and collective capabilities, as we're seeing now.

We really should not be in such a weak position where we have a fairly decent squad of players all over the park, but with virtually fuck all up front.

Regardless of Fitton's apparent meddling in team matters, Wilson has to carry the can as he's the man in the hot seat. Has he fucked off yet :bye:

We all know he won't be sacked, It just isn't going to happen, Fitton is so far up his arse that he won't get rid.

As for The Football League Show saying most fans are backing Wilson that's absolute bollocks, Most fans want him sacked!!

disgusting to watch. i for one will not watch another game this season if that idiot is still in charge. im a season ticket holder too! :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash:

I nearly came on here last night to go ape shit but then couldnt remember if we drew or lost

 :)

What o what was I drinking or to put it another way. What o what was I thinking.
A fair but not great performance, an entertaining game in many ways but it's results that matters now.

My Grandad said to me yesterday he never liked that nig nog who played for Liverpool.

I replied 'dont you mean Ngog Granddad'

He said 'no, Glen Johnson'

Totally agree about the lack of strikeforce being a problem.  It was apparent to me (and so should have been to anyone who knows more about the game as I'd hope our management team do) even in the early part of the season that we were over-reliant on Austin's goals.  From early in the season it was difficult to see where goals were coming from without him.  We should have been planning for back-up even if he had stayed.  Without him, the feared scenario has played itself out - 1 goal in 5 home games this year is pitiful. 
I thought there were signs that the Benyon / Obika partnership could work yesterday but when EB went off we were back to no 2nd striker.

I also wonder why Bodin is picked for the bench if there is no intention to play him.  When asked in the post-match interview Wilson said he didn't bring him on beacuse he's too small - surely he can't be much smaller than Benyon who he'd be replacing?  Or possibly why not try a different option of putting him on left wing, switching Ritchie to right and replacing JP who seemed to find Carlisle players with every ball yesterday!

I didnt hear that - by the time I got back to the car Wilson's interview was ending.
Did he really say that?
If so, then that is unforgiveable - Poor Bodin must be checking the fixture list for when we play Dwarf Rovers in the hope he gets a start then.
He's big enough for the bench, but not for the game? FFS ok he isnt an Aden Flint but he's bigger than Ritchie - and Ferry for that matter
I am staggered that wilson would have said such a thing - almost like saying "I didnt bring him on because he is a ginge" (which would of course be acceptable)

I'm 90% certain he's on the bench to make up the numbers

I think that is stating the obvious!

we've seen it with other players.
nathan thompson for instance.
bodin wants to go out on loan if he can't get a run out here.

I think both Bodin and Evans will both get new deals, if they want to sign them. Given the fragility of a professional football career, they will sign.

Seven subs at this level is quite a luxury and that's why Bodin is in the first team squad at the moment... So like Dave says, Wilson is making up the numbers.

It's a great way to integrate younger players into the senior set-up though.

are they not on 2 year contracts anyway?
they are both on very low wages too.

I think Danny Wilson regrets throwing on Macklin in a match we had to win 2 years ago. Macklin made a mistake and the crowd went completely mental.

Besides the clamour to play him has been OTT.

The problem weve had this season is that Wilson has changed the side and quite often things have got worse. You only go 1 way when that happens. Too many players not up to the job.

Yesterday was dreadful with the exception of the first 15-20minutes...good atmosphere with the crowd willing the team on, even a couple of half attempts at goal. They scored a good goal, Benyon was off, Dossevi on....he is hopeless, clueless  everything that ends in `less`

Now is the time in the remaining home matches for us the supporters to vent our feelings about DW....not at the end of the game but right from the start......I love STFC...but we are fucked...and we have been fucked up by DW this season ( not last season but right now ) he is completely fucking things up and we MUST let our feeling be heard.

I hate going to games and listening to fans complaining about the manager all the time BUT the time has come and he must go now

Taking off the injured Dossevi and replacing him with Prutton when we're 1-0 down tells you that Wilson really doesn't think Bodin (as he was the only striker left on the bench) is ready for 1st team football.
Strange why he was on the bench in the first place if that's the case.

Maybe he thought he might bring him on if we were 2 up with 10 mins left, bit of experience for the lad to help him get ready for the tougher more chalenging games (like yesterday actually ended up being like)?

I dunno, we're not exactly over run with competition for all our sub places, I don't think it's the end of the world.

Not sure I completely agree, but I can certainly see why Bodin can be on the bench and not ready to be thrown into a game where there's a lot of pressure to battle a comeback.

I think you're right on the money there Spencer. Ironically, I suspect some of those calling for Bodin to play are possibly the same people (not necessarily on here) who defended their "right" to get on Macklin's back when he was a young kid making his debut. If our crowd were a bit more supportive of our home-grown players, our managers might be more prepared to throw them in earlier

I don't think anyone is particularly calling for Bodin to play as such. As I have said before, there is no point in Wilson putting him on the bench if he has no intention of playing him. If he doesn't want to throw Bodin in, then don't even name him amongst the subs. This I think, is the point people are making. Send him out on loan to Forest Green or wherever.There's no point in him warming the bench week in week out with no prospect of getting on.

If I remember rightly he did give Bodin a run at Daggers when we were 2-1 down with just a few minutes to go in the game. Bodin didn't disgrace himself in those few minutes. Why home to Carlisle should make any difference I don't know, perhaps (if DW is saying he is too small) he's shrunk in the last few months?

hahaha

That might be the point you were making OST but there was plenty around me yesterday calling for him to come on who were just as vocal in getting on Macklin's back. Which irritated me a little.

Without wishing to go on about old hat many people were quick to get on young Morrisons back....and almost rejoiced when he left for Reading.

Good point leefer. And nice hat, too!

;D

what happened to the shiny new CG redevlopment plans? im sure they were due out in september?

I'm not sure people rejoiced when Morrison left, just saw it as a good bit of business. I don't think Morrison got much better in the last season and a half.

They revealed quite a bit of what they're looking at doing at the AGM. You can check back and see what was said on here and in the Adver at the time. Not sure where you got September from.

There are a huge number of substitute places to be filled on the bench nowadays. Sometimes its a case of just making up the numbers.

Odds on 'sack the board' being sung before the seasons out?

I wouldn't put it past some of the Swindon 'faithful'

Nope I think the fans really can't be bothered. Haven't heard any chants to say sack Wilson

Dw never said bodin was too small to play he said he wasnt experienced enough which is why he brought prutton on

He did score a few, which would be pretty handy right now

...and Bodin will never gain any experience sat on the bench anyway.

My gripe is less about whether Bodin gets used or not but more so the fact we've been a striker short since July. Lost 2 in Austin and Ball and got 2 in, in Benyon and Obika - which still leaves us at least a striker short anyway.

We should have got another striker in, in August, or September or January or 2 days ago...

No doubt. Don't get me wrong, not saying he was crap but £250k for a defender we could develop no further is not too shabby.

What ever happened to jordan pavett?

replacing him with a non league player and an injured defender was a master stroke though.

Considering we haven't seen much of Flint and nothing of Misun, that's completely unfair. Did you say the same when Austin signed for us and replaced Cox?

Anyway all this talk of Morrison is completely irrelevant, we haven't put a similar clause in Bodin's contract as far as I'm aware.

I found out a bit of info yesterday.
Firstly, they will be developing the Town End.
They will also be knocking down the Arkells and rebuilding and putting a roof on the Stratton Bank.
The capacity won't be much more than it is now, but there will be a lot more room for corporate functions, restaurant, etc.

this info came from Adam Wainwright.

19k capacity according to Nick Watkins.

I thought exactly the same.  In fact, I can't believe that there are still people like 'Brad' around who'd texted in to say as much.  What will it take for some people to realise that Wilson is not going to keep us in League 1.  When we finish bottom of the table? Even then they're probably some people who think he should be given the opportunity to bring us back up from League 2.  

Fitton has to take some responsibility for the mess we're in as well imo.  Ok he saved us from extinction and for that I'll be enternally grateful, but we've gone completely backwards on the field under the various policies around buying and selling he appears to have instigated.  

Window licker!

Thanks  :)

Maybe I've gone a bit OTT, but I'm completely pissed off with what's happening out there at the moment!  I don't see any shame in that?

I absolutely agree with that-it seems to be a requirement these days,verbal gymnastics rather than singing with any feeling.Makes me seethe

Oh God, don't get me started on this one. Classic example. Christine Aquilera butchering the American National Anthem before the Super Bowl. It's a great song and tune which stands up on its own without any embelishment. It's about the song, not you, you stupid self centered talentless bitch! The stupid cow even got one of the lines wrong at one point. Stupid bitch. I think it's what 'X Factor' judges (and just what the fuck do they know anyway?) call 'vocal dexterity'. Fuck off.

In fact, I just realised. She made up the words completely ???

Even worse was some bint called Kelly Rowland slaughtering the Yank national anthem at Wembley before the friendly with the USA. my Yank mate was less than impressed.

I did say to my brother do they think this is the superbowl?!

I won't complain though - I've thought for many years they need to get us singing I Can't Help Falling in Love With You before the game instead of playing some dross over the tannoy. It created an atmosphere rather than kill it. I couldn't even hear the girl because the town end drowned it out :)

Apart from XFactor,I think Maria Carey should share the blame

Or she could just die. Just thinking out loud

I really do think now is the time to get rid of Wilson, up until now I've been of the opinion that we should keep him and he will turn it around, after this result I just cant see it, yes it is a risk replacing him but equally I think if Wilson remains this is an even bigger risk.

The failure to bring on Bodin is just wrong, yes he is inexperienced and yes he is going to be a bit lightweight but do not put players on the bench if you have no intention of using them, there are other players available to sit on the bench.

Taking the vice captains armband away from Cuthbert and giving this to Lucas must really send a message of confidence to Cuthbert and help his motivation

The formation in the second half was all over the place, Richie playing up front then back on the left, Wilson's favorite player out on the right then in the middle, JPM in the middle, Timlin on the left (sort of)

To give us a fighting chance please Mr Fitton do the right thing, take your head out of the sand and remove Mr Wilson from the managers chair and quickly find us another manager who knows his tactics and is able to motivate players - and knows how to change a game if things are not going right

At least when Ferry came on he had a good go - and he knew he had the crowd behind him as well

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and a lot of us seem to share the same one.  However, the only person I can find to blame is Fatbury!!  Where is he these days?

The story I heard about that was that while he was literally upset at the decision he understood the reasoning behind it. Namely that he needed to concentrate on his own form/game.

I think you're about a month late with that tbh

I get the feeling AF has resigned himself to relegation and thinks DW is the man to get us back up.

Arsenal or Ebbsfleet i suspect.

On a side note i saw crispy yesterday, hes a big lad

Talking to some birds with Ferrari red hair I might add.

Well in that case there's even less of a reason not to play Bodin or any of the other youngsters.

That actually made me  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Don't get me started on that talentless bitch. She's even worse than Christine Aguafuckingwhatever ::)

yes true but what breasts.

I can honestly say that if I had Mariah Cary in my bed, I would kick her the fuck out.

I can't stand the annoying cunt. I'd have a good fiddle with Christina aguathingywot though.
