Assuming Marshall is still going with Garner, seems like he'll need an assistant or two.

Fine by me.
Welcome to the roller coaster Scott, or should that be welcome back?

Continuity is good.
He would have been in prime position to take the mental "wouldn't have done it like that Ben" notes.
Some good recruitment coupled with doing it a bit better than Garner & we should be fine.

If the behind the scenes setup is right then a head coach isn't necessarily the main cog in the machine with this type of model these days.

Maybe the mentality of fans needs to change vis a vis traditional manager v head coach scenario? Don't know.

One overriding view that won't change is, Scott, whatever you do, don't fuck it up.

Please Scott at least dont make the defenders piss around fannying about with the ball when sometimes a hoof into touch will be the better option rather than passing it between 2 statues or a short ball back to the goalkeeper putting him under pressure.

Otherwise as you were.

I cannot believe its taken this long to get here. A Lee Power move done at a slugs pace.

I'll back him, but fuck me Clem. It was all the disappointment of a cheap option and it wasn't even quick to put us out of our misery. Unbelievable.

Club News
BREAKING: Scott Lindsey appointed as Town's new Head Coach
Reds have a new man at the helm
Swindon Town Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Scott Lindsey as our new
First-Team Head Coach.

Following a thorough and diligent search, Lindsey emerged as the ideal candidate to lead the Reds forward.

Highly-regarded and respected by everyone who has worked under him, Lindsey offers Town some crucial continuity having served as Assistant Manager under former Head Coach Ben Garner last season.

As a result, Lindsey already knows the current squad inside out, he has close working relationships with those currently inside the club and is fully on board with our preferred way of playing.

Lindsey was instrumental in instilling the brand of football that spearheaded Town's success last year, and his promotion to Head Coach will ensure there isn't any change in direction to the way the team will look to play.

Furthermore, Lindsey is in lockstep with Technical Director Sandro Di Michele's philosophies and vision when it comes to recruitment and the direction the club wants to head in.

Having reached the EFL Sky Bet League Two Playoffs in 2021-22 and with a strong core in place, the club felt it was crucial to keep some level of continuity in place in order to give the team the best possible chance of competing for promotion in 2022-23.

Lindsey brings that quality in abundance, and he also boasts a proven track record when it comes to spotting talent and developing it, with current Town player Ellis Iandolo the perfect example having been brought to SN1 by Lindsey in 2015.

With a passion for the club and the local area, Lindsey ticks all of the boxes and we feel strongly he is the perfect man to lead Swindon Town into an exciting new era.

Sandro Di Michele, Town's Technical Director, said: "We have a clear philosophy on how we want this football club to operate and over the last 12 months Scott Lindsey has played a key role in shaping that.

Scott clearly believes in a possession based, attacking brand of football and he fully supports our data lead recruitment strategy.

He is hugely respected by the players and has been integral to their development. All these factors made Scott the standout choice and I’m incredibly excited for the future of Swindon Town Football Club with Scott as Head Coach.”

Following his appointment, Scott Lindsey expressed his delight at getting the opportunity to manage the club.

It means a lot to me to be the Head Coach of this fantastic football club,” he said.

There’s some great people behind the scenes working here, and you only had to look at last season to see how well supported this club is, averaging nearly 10,000 people every week, which is amazing for this standard of football.

Away from home the following was just incredible, so to be Head Coach of this club with that kind of following is just fantastic and I’m really looking forward to it.

The club wanted some continuity going forward and they don’t want to go too far away from how we play, so that was an important factor.

It is big for me and my family. I worked here back in 2015 as the Youth Coach, I then came back with Ben (Garner) as the Assistant Manager last year and my family have really embraced it. My children all go in the Town End for most home games, and try to get to a lot of the away games too, so it is a really proud moment for me.”

Swindon Town CEO, Rob Angus, said: “We’re really pleased that Scott has agreed to become Head Coach of our club, providing continuity, and he is someone who can develop and improve our players, and more importantly, believes in the way we like to play.

He has fully bought into our football strategy. He knows our club inside and out and I am sure with Scott at the helm we have a great future ahead of us.

Positive news as far as I am concerned. He already knows the players and obviously works well with McKirdy which might not have been the case with a new coach.  He is less likely to walk away in a years time Garner-style and seems settled at the club.  

I'll never know all that has gone on these past few weeks, most of it is just bullshit rumours in any case.  Nor do I particularly care either, lets just move on and enjoy the ride.  

I'll leave the negativity to certain others!

Assuming we keep a similar personnel roster as we did last year, with some obvious improvements now we have some actual stability and time to analyse, target, and go in for players (whether on frees or loan, I'm not, and nobody should be, expecting big money transfers, we're in L2 and trying to be sustainable), I think we'll have a god shot again this year.

Obviously keeping the core of the team is important, the new manager is obviously a known element to the players and backroom staff so provides some stability, even if it's underwhelming for some.

As I've said before, Swindon typically do better with unproven managers than we do with old cloggers. If we play like we did at our best last year, can't see a lot able to touch us. I don't expect that though, because It's Swindon Town.

I'm still hopeful for cadds as a coach.

He is far less inspiring than either Wellens or Garner.

Wellens was a very good player, who you could believe had a good understanding of players and whats required. His stint at Oldham was better than it looked given conditions.

Garner was a career coach essentially, someone who had coached at big clubs, and while his rovers stint like Wellens, was not great, it was under tough conditions.

Lindsey had no real playing career, his coaching has been far more limited in experience and standard to that of Garners.

If he was the stand out candidate, it doesn't take this long to appoint him.

On the outside it looks a really cheap choice honestly and does absolutely nothing to inspire ahead of next season.

I can't help but have a nagging feeling that the last part of Sandro's comment here has a lot of meaning. 'Scott clearly believes in a possession based, attacking brand of football and he fully supports our data lead recruitment strategy.' The first two almost all coaches would support, get the feeling not many candidates fully supported the 'data led' element. Just a hunch.

Still he gets my support, lets see how we rebuild the squad. Hopefully he gets to bring a coach in. Otherwise it feels really cheep if its just the other Scott.

Hopefully adds some continuity from last season.
Hopefully the players had a good relationship with him and this *might* tempt them to stay.

Having worked primarily in the lower leagues don’t know what contacts he has (particularly for Premiet League youngsters)
Is he Garner lite or will he have his own ideas? Do we want him to have his own ideas? Or be Garner lite?


Honestly, such a long process to appoint someone who was already here. That to me (rightly or wrong) screams we didn’t get our top targets.

Be interesting to see who gets his old job as assistant. To save Clem time, I’ll do it if he can match my Royal Mail wage…

Underwhelmed but not unsupportive. Would have personally preferred someone younger and with experience behind the scenes at the top level - that was seemingly what the club wanted but not what the club delivered (which goes back to the not first choice)

Like any new manager he needs to hit the ground running. Let’s be brutally honest here after last season, us as fans (and the press as well I imagine) will be expecting us to challenge. The free hit, no pre season, embargo, just happy to have a club has to stop now.

We need to start moving towards. Top to bottom & I honestly don’t fucking care whose in what job as long as start moving forward and move away from being a L1 / L2 yo-yo team because these bottom two divisions are fucking shit and we’ve been here way too long. They don’t even have any novelty value anymore.


In summation - just win some fucking football games. Simple.


Title: Re: Scott Lindsey- New Manager thread
Post by: singingiiiffy on Monday, June 20, 2022, 16:11:42
to take 3 weeks to recruit someone already on the books is quite frankly ridiculous especially when preseason is usually such valuable time.
the fear with this appointment is that there is already no new buzz around the manager and it wont take a long before a few bad results make the situation very awkward.

genuinely the only positive is continuity and hopefully the players enjoyed working with scott. wish him all the best as with every town manager. hmm

Post by: Batch on Monday, June 20, 2022, 16:14:56
4 weeks of rejections, then panic give it to the assistant*. Inspiring stuff.

But its a results business. Lets see what he's about on the pitch. And I don't mean give him 3 games then moan!

My expectations are unchanged. We must be pushing for autos. We'll see what December brings.

*other interpretations are available.

That is a massive red flag to me.

"Do as your told."

Clem, Sandro. If you want to be the manager so much, why not fucking take on the job and stop appointing coaches to be the fall guy in case it goes wrong.

Could have got many of us on here if he just wants someone to play the football he's told to and put the cones out during the week.

If we had appointed the assistant manager of a team that made the playoffs last season would we have gone all “doom & gloom”?   Probably not.

Had we have appointed him straight away, that would have been worse to me, surely they needed to interview several other candidates first.

I, like most, will assume that our top candidate (if not more) didn’t accept the job, so if Scott was the next best option then fair enough.

Like any other manager (bar Steve Evans), I will back him but it does feel like a “best of the rest” appointment

If you follow a process of interviewing candidates, there was some feed dragging over Charlton, could be some legit reasons for the delay. He is in post now, and to be honest I hadn't heard of any other managers we had since Di Canio (bar lingy).

Let's see who he can bring in and let's hope for a good start.

Post by: Frigby Daser on Monday, June 20, 2022, 16:43:04
It is not just that it’s uninspiring. It’s that it does not make sense. It’s anti-Moneyball isn’t it? Assistants typically do not succeed when they take over at the same club. They may of course go on elsewhere and do well, but not going from no 2 to no 1 at the same club. I’m sure there’s data on it….(anyone?).

When you appoint an assistant there is an overwhelming sense that he has been appointed (I) not because he was the best candidate, but because he was simply here anyway and (II) that we are getting a diluted version of what we had last year. Everything we had then, minus Garner. After a month of being in limbo, and not moving forwards, you need a statement of intent, to show ambition. We’ve got Diet 2021/2. And not Dennis Wise moving aside for Gus Poyet (yes, I know he didn’t) or Gorman replacing Hoddle. We’ve got the former manager of Chatham Town, whose CV would not have made anybody take notice if he was not already employed by the club.

Then there are the lingering doubts that it is indicative of deeper problems and money is guiding everything, and there’s none of it. Add that to Zavier Austin, convicted money launderer, posing in photos now (and his ever-escalating presence) and this is suddenly not quite what we were sold by the new regime when they took over.

What can resolve doubts? Remove Austin from any involvement in the club (won’t happen) and sign some players, ideally not from Chatham Town, but of the Reed and Williams calibre.

Worried and in need of a lift. And hoping this ages terribly.

Some room to accommodate Caddis on the coaching staff would be welcome, but all well & good if the 2 Scott's can take the strain & any savings are recycled into the playing budget.

Some good examples of people with a less than stellar playing career going on to make a mark in coaching.

As always, even with due diligence every managerial appointment is still a risk with no guarantees.

As fans it would be good to pick up where we left off towards the end of last season.

Looking forward to the fixtures & some positive news on contract renewals.

I thought he spoke pretty well and said pretty much what we thought he would.

Hopefully he will engage the fans more than Garner ever did or even tried.

Has a few of his own ideas about aggression on the pitch and attacking with speed, something we missed under Garner at times, certainly the aggression side of it.

I can see why Clem decided to appoint Lindsey as apparently most of the players last season said that the dressing room was the best they had ever experienced, so its continuity and hopefully will keep a few of the OOC players and get some in to compliment the players we already have.

It's obviously a 'meh' appointment. No need to dress it up any other way. I'm just happy we have somebody in the building, the other thread was getting pretty angsty!

Whilst on the subject of not dressing things up the assistant is likely to send some over the edge apparently. He won't disclose a name but he's from the lower echelons of the league/non-league pyramid.

My thought is that of recent managerial appointments, many of us (if I recall the TEF threads at the time) were more positive about Brown, Flitcroft or McGreal than we were about Wellens and Garner - but we all know which two of those five turned out to be the better appointments.
I just hope Lindsey hasn’t said “it’s Swindon Town!” In his first interview.

Hopefully the relationships from last season will encourage the likes of Egbo and Payne to sign again, and he will know how to make McKirdy tick (an outsider may not).

Looking forward now to the new (or re) signings being announced.

Some people have posted that “promoting assistants never works” - more accurate to say that it can work and has on occasions. Some have cited examples of it not working already, equally there are some which worked rather well - Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan being the best examples of that.

Not sure though if that “leaves no stone unturned” whilst finding a Manager.

Positives - The players appear to like him and know him and no matter what I will still support the Club.

Underwhelmed? yes, Suicidal? No Surprised? No.
Let’s get some positivity now with some decent signings.

Well apart from Phil Brown and Sheridan as a player - but most of our managers since the glory days I've had no clue who they were when appointed. He knows the players, was around for a successful season so let's hope he hits the ground running.

One day my wife brought up the fact that Churchill had one and you have never seen someone swivel on a dime so fast... apparently it was different if you were in the armed forces!

Fantastic haha. Older generations really fucking hated people with tattoos, didn't they? People being judged like that seems to be going by the wayside though. Although I think in Japan until quite recently you were basically considered Yakuza if you had one.

Sorry just doesn’t stack up for me, his CV has nothing in it that says 1st team coach and a 3 year deal is just a nonsense. Rightly or wrongly it feels like we were have either got desperate, ended up with staff we had nothing else we could do anything with after they didn’t go to Charlton or a combination of both. It seems his main credentials that are emphasised is people like him and he’s local, other than that on paper he seems to tick no boxes. The fact it has taken 4 weeks to end up he raised alarm bells for me.

I’m going to be controversial here and say do Angus and Clem have any better idea then most people on here when it comes to managers as Garner was Chorley’s choice previously.

Going to need some massive signings to get any positivity out of this, if this was under Power people would be losing their shit and when it comes to on the pitch stuff the same standards apply!

Totally understandable too, can't blame fans thinking like this. Disagree about Garner though, many were saying the same last year at the appoitments.

Either way, it's done now. Be interesting to see who we bring in

Whilst on the subject of not dressing things up the assistant is likely to send some over the edge apparently. He won't disclose a name but he's from the lower echelons of the league/non-league pyramid.

does anyone give a fuck about the assistant manager (cone gatherer)?

it would be great for it to be someone who has managerial experience in or close to the league

I think a period of realization now needs to set in, we are not this big club that will attract the names that was being circulated around. The fans themselves got all carried away by following betting odds from the bookies (why? the betting market is dictated by betting behavior) and the media which did not have a clue either and random rumors. Some of the fans got their knickers in a twist over Sol Campbell. Because of the hype, the expectation of a Carrick type of name was in abundance.

The club did not say anything, they went about the business quietly and hopefully diligently. Comparing this to Hoddle and Gorman is just silly. As if Garner is some football genius who was a tactical wizard (He wasn't)

Now we will find out, who was really responsible for the season we had last season. Now the club can continue as you were

The Macari appointment was so long ago it's from an entirely different era when relatively high profile players needed to work after their playing careers because they weren't all multi millionaires.

The other two name players would have struggled to get bigger clubs as their first job because of their deserved reputations for being a pain in the arse. Their later stellar careers elsewhere indicate why.

Sturrock was starting his trajectory downwards after failure at Southampton and Wendies, and we were clearly headed for L1 that season.

Yes, and someone like Macari these days would be going to a club in the Championship or Premiership! He was the equivalent of Rooney, Gerrard, Viera, Arsenal manager, Burnley manager (who's names I forget as I have little interest in Premiership).

To be fair that's overstating Macari's profile as a player. He played for United at a bit of a low period for them. The only league title they won in his time was in the second division. He might have an FA cup winners medal but not much more.

this kind of thing is where I think the trust and transparency are failing.

Initial thoughts on 'involved' would be financial. But it could be anything from recommending players to being the £2m long term debtor.

No problem with Clem, he seems a nice but the more you see the more it just looks like a rearrangement of the deck chairs from the outside with the likes of Austin & Standing lurking in the background. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Standing the actual ‘owner’ at the end of all this and that won’t sit well with me as he’s got us into some significant trouble.

I’m surprised the Trust haven’t reined him in yet - and I say that as respectfully as possible as I know he’s well meaning but he hasn’t helped manage fans’ expectations in recent weeks.

Around the wider ‘too close to the club’ debate - I think it’s a valid argument. I’ve always thought the Trust should play the role of ‘friendly agitators’ (as they did brilliantly with Power) but they appear far too close with the club now to properly hold them to account.

Edit - the Million Pound Man beat me to it on my second point!

Upon reflection I’d also add that the trust should be asking those kinds of questions automatically, without the need to be pressed to do so, in the interests of good governance of the football club

In regards to being open and transparent I’d also expect any involvement to be acknowledged *somewhere* - even if it’s as little in the advisory board action notes referencing the FA charge

Again, based on rumour and conjecture etc.

https://t.co/evfVkXDkFL

Didn't think he cave across that badly at all.
The only piece which did stick was he said we will go and do aggressive attacking possession based football. Close down quicker and win the ball back quicker. Then when asked what his main role was, the defence, keeping the space and shape. That is a worry because we were very stand off last year and this was his area of operation.
Time will tell, he may just be a rough diamond himself and move us along nicely

I'm still pro trust to get the ground purchase done - part ownership of the ground for fan groups will be more important long term than anything else the trust can do in the short term. I also totally appreciate that interpersonally the senior trust bods who have worked with RA for years are going to be close to the club.

I think distance will come with time and with natural generational change at the top of the trust. I imagine a lot of the current board want to see the CG purchase done and will see that as a natural stopping point. If that means being very vocally pro Clem beyond the natural level of support until it's done then maybe that's the means to the end.

Its hardly surprising that the Trust are close to the club, they have had to enter into a JV to buy the ground.

So in summary of this thread and its predecessor, a large proportion of the fan base have no confidence in the new manager*, little confidence in the Trust or the owners of the club.

Its going to be a right giggle of a summer and season this isn't it.

* Thing is with SL, so much negative has ben said about the guy already I can see no way that those who said it can row back without admitting that they were wrong, something that human beings generally really struggle with, so he may as well pack up and go home now.

Thanks Jimmy. I like the sound of what we are looking to do on the pitch. Hopefully more of the same as last season, with more tempo and more attacking threat as well as less pissing about at the back for pissing about at the back's sake.

I found the Di Michele interview interesting although I'm not convinced I believe him. His spin basically was that since he has walked through the door Scott Lindsey for him has been the best candidate. If that's the case, then absolutely superb and we have to trust Di Michele knows what he is doing.

The next step is getting the out of contract players to commit and then bring in new blood for our promotion assault. Although it was also evident that neither man stuck their neck out to say we'd try and get out of league 2 this season, just that we would be 'competitive' on the pitch.


Title: Re: Scott Lindsey- New Manager thread
Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, 08:41:09
I'm the same Bob slightly sceptical regarding Sandro as he's only been here a couple of weeks or so and it's hard to believe that Lindsey was the outstanding candidate for the job. The other thing I don't think it's been mentioned is how did he end up at STFC if he was successful at Wigan as I can't believe we would be paying him a huge salary or his services.

Thing is people wouldn’t actually be wrong would they? People are making judgements based on the facts at hand and his CV and based on that the appointment makes little sense, if it works great but that doesn’t mean the current concerns aren’t legitimate or ‘wrong’.

I also don’t get the 3 year deal for a rookie, I’m assuming there is a break clause if it isn’t working?

By naming him now (dont care what was said on the wireless yesterday) its obvious he was'nt the number one target. Name him earlier and give a few weeks head start IMO. :sherlock:

Anyway...

He knows the players and the Club set up which i hope will be a huge advantage to him.

He defo wont get as much slack as Garner got last season for sure.

Best of luck to him. Lets get some players in and a get an Auto spot.....please!!!

its almost as if you arent ultra positive happy clapping about everything you arent supporting the club.

criticisms and awkward questions are born out of love for this club and wanting us to be better in every single way on and off the pitch, if we all just sat here and trusted everything were being told & accepted 'theyre doing their best' then we wouldnt have a club to follow.

we're all town and we all want success- scrutiny is needed to achieve that.

Exactly this. Some of our fans need to familiarise themselves with toxic positivity, because its a thing.

The thing that makes me laugh is when we were going up under Power with Eoin Doyle scoring every week, people who hated Power and wanted him out were mocked and shouted down and told to concentrate on what was happening on the pitch. The same people were the "At least we've got a club" merchants whenever someone complained about Garners tactical ineptness last season.

So which is it? Boardroom or Pitch or just whichever allows you to bury your head away from nasty negativity?

We've definitely got a section of a fan base that are moany cunts, but a big section of our fan base just cannot hear any form of negativity so much to the point that they'd rather not live in reality sometimes and I genuinely do wonder where their line is. We were joking yesterday about Graham Rix as Manager and signing Adam Johnson just to push some of these people and see if you'll get a squeak out of them.

Most of the time it isn't arguing a counter point though, is it? Its just mocking people or complaining about them being negative....or my favourite: completely misunderstanding the reason people are unhappy and then arguing against something totally different, which happens a lot around here.

If it was that simple i would agree with you but when you start saying people would defend the Rix appointment or Sandro is a bullshitter and you don't trust him because he says something you disagree with I think it's fair people have a pop from time to time in exactly the same way it's fair you do at people who defend the indefensible

6 weeks ? (we all knew Garner was going so why wasn't the club speaking to coaches unofficially) to appoint the assistant suggests they was being turned down.

Need to hope they hit the ground running with their new data system of finding players as well, its all change but time will tell if it is for the good.

Egbo was low hanging fruit for Garner.  Only on a short contract of convenience, not put roots down, probably not sorted out property in the area, openly stated that he wanted a higher level and his recent history shows that he thinks he should be playing higher.  Egbo has little or no affiliation with STFC or the fans or the area.

Like taking candy from a baby for Garner this one.  The others will be more challenging though not improbable.  If he wants McKirdy, Williams or Reed he has to pay a transfer fee.  If he wants Payne he will have to pay him ~£5k pw, and convince him that Charlton are not the basket case we know them to be.  I can't see anyone else that he would want at L1 level, and there are only so many of our players that he could nab before the Charlton fans clock the fact that he is building a squad full of L2 players and have more outrage than our new new manager thread.

Long ball specialist.
Quote
Day integrated a "long-ball" style of play into the team, and although it was effective against lower ranked sides, the team struggled to maintain possession against better opposition. However, Day's tactics helped Bangladesh earn hard fought draws against India and Afghanistan during the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and 2022 World Cup joint qualifiers Day was placed on leave soon after the qualifiers.

It may have been horses for course but its polar opposite of how Scott suggested how we will play this season.

His Twitter is full of vids he's liked or retweeted based around possession building up from the back. So possession based may well be his preferred style, but has ultimately worked under managers in the past who have implemented long ball styles, mainly Pennock. Which if anything could be a benefit for plan B or faster progression up the pitch.

To a certain extent that is correct, you either buy players to suit your prefered style (at this level anyway) or you change your style to suit the players available to you.

Look at Lincoln under Cowley, they had a team of hoofers and niggly nasty players so they played that way, admittedly he never changed that style at Hudderfield and it cost him his job after under 1 season.

Us under Macari in Div 4....teams back then played hoofball and put a lot of high balls into our box...so Macari buys a huge commanding keeper who wasnt the best at shot stopping but could claim high crosses....it worked....we also has less talented players that were fitter than any team in all 4 leagues so we used that to win games in the last 10 mins due to fitness level.

The fitness element is slowly being eradicated from the game unfortunately.  Next season with 5 subs you can effectively just have all your attacking players go full pelt and when they tire a little replace them all and then go again. Great for teams with money and big squads, a massive disadvantage for those without.

There is a chance they take the head of strength and conditioning guy from us also as I think he is one of Garner's bois. (could be others I guess)

This modern football trope that teams need an identity and should try to play a set way is fucking bollocks if you ask me (I’m aware no one did)

Do what you need to do to win football matches.

Did Sir Alex Ferguson worry about his teams identity and style of play in the 90s? Did he bollocks, he tried to win football matches and he did alright with that to be fair

The thing is, a lot of the goals we scored looked great when watching replays - 20-odd passes, most going nowhere, finishing with a goal. Problem being people only remember the final pass or 2 and are bored shitless watching the previous 18.

I want to get out of my seat. I want sustained pressure with the crowd baying - sucking the ball into the net.

Agreed with this. My favourite football to watch is high press, high energy with balls being swung into the box. We didn't do any of that near enough last year

Yes, break with pace down the wings get balls into the box and actually have a fucking shot when within 25 yards of goal hoping for rebounds if the keeper gets to them, we barely shot from outside of 15 yards last season other than a couple of Reed free kicks, constantly trying to walk the ball in the net.

Fill the defence with blockers, tacklers and headers of the ball and not just passing defenders, who win the ball and  give it to the midfielders to instigate attacks and use wingers/strikers to break with speed.

I don't even care if we don't utilise corners as long as we stop THEM from scoring at corners, a real weakness we have had for a couple of seasons.

Lindsey wants agression when off the ball and fast attacks when on the ball....which on paper sounds good.

I had a dark thought.

I still can’t quite get my head around the departures from the CG. We were very close to promotion this year and an extra shove this season would, in all probability, get us up.

Why leave? Chorley, why? Garner, why? The 2 Scotts (wanted to), why?

A promotion on your CV gets credit in the bank when it comes to future jobs. Embargo lifted, extra budget, club on the up, crowds massively increased. Bumming around at Charlton with a few extra quid? Really?

What if there’s something hurtling down the road that gave everybody the heeby jeebies?

What if there’s an FA points deduction coming?

Stop worrying so much. Garner got a better job offer, higher division, assume higher wages and closer to home, so no brainer for him.

It's normal for the coaches from previous to join at a new club, so nothing to worry about them looking like they were going to go.

Chorley, still going to see what he does next, wasn't the talk of him joining his old mate Wellens?

Alex Ferguson was at one of the biggest clubs in the world with a huge transfer budget and ridiculous YTS system. It's easy to not worry about it if you're at the top of the food chain.

Given how high the turnover of managers, players & staff are in the lower leagues (well, could argue all 4 leagues) then having an "identity" or "brand" helps keep continuity & consistency without losing too much momentum. It also makes us more attractive to Premier League clubs. I know we all hate loans, but the gap even between Premier League U23 teams and the Football League continues to get wider and to utilise these relationships is key for success now in Leagues 1 & 2. If you have lots of money then you don't have to worry about it - we don't! When we did it nearly crippled us.

It's why Southampton, Brentford & the likes remain successful despite selling most of their best players and losing managers. It's the way things are, I know we like to bang our fists and demand the old ways back but the world is moving on.

Garner went to Charlton because he has roots there and a opportunity came up for him to work with people he knows. Plus it's an opportunity for him to manage a team in a higher division so can't blame him.
So say Chorley was leaving at the end of the season butwe'll never know if this was true or not.
Speculation about the Scotts going was all paper talk was it actually confirmed?
What's done is done, no point on dwelling on last season we have to move on

I really struggle to see the most talented team in the league. We had a very good midfield and that was about it.

Not a prolific striker, and even worse after January. Defence was poor and keepers were decent. It was nowhere near our team under Wellens.

It’s a myth, much like the ‘we had a top three quality squad’ line which was being peddled by a few on Twitter when Garner left - we went through the season with only one senior striker ffs!

It was a brilliantly assembled side in the circumstances of last summers shit show - but we fell short for a reason.

The club have done loads right under Clem, don't get me wrong, the Advisory Board, working with the Trust etc (Who don't seem to be 'hard' enough to ask the tough questions) things on the face of it seem very rosey.

I’ve allowed myself to get caught up in the off field issues once again and vowed I wouldn’t. Just want to support this club without another shit storm to have to consider.

I think the Zav Pakistan thing is similar to the Andrew Fitton kick back. I think it's a vanity project that he hopes to unearth a gem and get a kickback from.

These are just my own personal thoughts but i think they have realised that they can run the club properly and not dodgy as such and make a profit. I have no doubt that if the plan goes as it should for them they will sell the club in a few years to people they believe have more money. There is no way there is enough money at this level to operate and also keep people like Austin Standing Hart happy like the rumours will have us believe

Just my take on things

Not sure it's ever come to light.

Interesting. Lindsey says there was no interview process or anything formal.

Find that bizarre as this appointment was made by Sandro and he told us what an in depth process he was carrying out. Even more strange in the sense that Sandro said in an interview he’d never met or knew of SL.

100% this.

Absolute waffle and bollocks for 30 mins. Irrelevant questions. Cheese, music, clothes and superstitions - if that’s the stuff you care about then fair fucks to you. I’m  more interested in football to be honest.

No wonder they have access to that club that they do- hardly an interrogating or informative line of questioning (not that it needs to be full of that).

That would make sense, as the land is owned by Power and maybe a way for Standing to get his money out.

You obviously wanted certain questioned asked / answering. You’re complaining about the content, so what exactly was missing that you wanted?

I think you’ve miss managed your expectations if you were expecting a fans run podcast to ask any hard hitting questions. Also the fact the interview was with the head coach who imagine is involved with little else other than the on pitch stuff. Head coaches even have little say in recruitment, so he wouldn’t have even been the right person to grill about that…

What were you expecting?

If you cannot read the above… I very clearly said the 30 mins woulda been better spent talking about football side of things, and not cheese of socks. Head coach, first team coach or team bus driver of coach… I still reckon the first two have some sort of idea with what’s going on, don’t you DIV?

I've just listened to the STBL, in a 34 minute show they spent 28 minutes talking football, how SL may differ from BG in management style, style SL wants to play, how we might try to sell the club to prospective players, that players involved last season are at the forefront of training currently, I actually enjoyed listening to it.  

After the initial 28 minutes there were some questions about superstitions and cheese and whatnot but even in those last few minutes there was a question about getting in another coach to help them, they're talking to someone at the moment to that end apparently, let's hope that's Bamba.

I haven't listened yet, but let's face it, the club (or the Trust) wouldn't have allowed Scott to appear on the PC if the remit was to grill him - the only reason this happened was that it was supposed to be a bit of fun and to hear Scott's voice, anyone that was expecting anything different is just not good a reading the room.

There is a reason that TSTBL has as much access to the club as it does, and fair play to them, they have spotted their niche and have embraced it.  Town fans are lucky to have as much content as they do compared to years gone by, and I think a lot of it was motivated by the lack of content coming from the club itself recently, the fans said, if the club won't do it, we will.

People just need to see it for what it is and decide what type of content they want to listen to, or just listen to all of it, just try to understand what space those content providers sit in to determine the type of content you will get.

Adam Hart is part of the company that runs the fitness, isn't he? Is it anyone with a criminal past that people don't want associated with the club

What can the club say here that would put their put their mind at ease or is it a case of just wanting them gone.

Just intrigued to know really, for me personally if the accounts and everything else show that the club is being run above board and money is not missing and being reinvested accordingly then if there isn't proof that anyone has been involved in anything since prior convictions a long time ago i would be willing to keep a really close eye on it

That being said would i prefer there to be anyone with a past like that close to the club, absolutely not and in no way can i blame anyone for having these major doubts and asking the questions out loudly, i am glad they are being asked and i will be as upset as anyone if they are not answered but we are where we are and if our current owner thinks he can run the club and control them whilst not putting the club at risk then let's at least see

My honest opinion is that as the owner he wants us to be seen as running self sufficiently with nice healthy looking accounts with no grey areas so after redevelopment they can sell the club to wealthier better people, until then we need to let him deal with the ones fans dont like

Yep he's employed by Ricky McFarlane's company who are employed by the club.

FWIW he's quite well liked and does a good job. Not sure if that'll put anyone's mind at ease. I quizzed a few people as I shared the same concerns and seems like he's reformed. I dont know if its true or not, I've never met him.

Interesting reading the varied / contrasting feedback on last night. All views consumed,  understood and appreciated.

Quite a few of you good folk know me from on here (historically), in the stands, the FFT sponsorship days or Twitter. What you see is what you get. No apologies for that if the show or I’m not your cup of tea. I / we try to appeal to a broad church (which has topped 8k on occasion) of listeners. Can’t please you all… but sincerely, we do try.

In the spirit of transparency, I’m happy to get on a call with anyone that wants to discuss our content, my integrity and/or history as a Town Fan. Drop me a Twitter DM with your details and I’ll make time for us. Sincere and open offer.

You’ll notice we talked about forward plans and access TSTBL will enjoy across  the coming season. In many ways, last night was about making decent introductions. Laying foundations on  which the show will build from. In short, there’s plenty more to come.

Cheers… and COYR.

I have not been following this so probably already been answered, but is is it the same Adam Hart as he has gone some getting from being on the run in 2008 to doing time for serious crime and being released by 2022?

And is he just an employee of the company who provide fitness services to the club, so what influence does he actually have?

Is it any different to potentially being served a burger from one of the kiosks by a potential criminal?
The food kiosks were out sourced - the same way the fitness etc is.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only reason this has come out is due to a photo, if that wasn’t taken, no one would have a clue.

I’m not overly worried that an ex criminal is stood with a stop-watch timing how quickly the players run a couple of times a week in all honesty.

But it’s not just that is it, he has been a director on one of Austin’s ‘construction’ companies prior to being involved with the club so the relationship goes beyond the McFarlane thing. Having Austin and a business partner at the club with very similar criminal records is a bit concerning when judging it simply on the facts at hand is it not?

It is and i have not said otherwise?  I have even said what i think will be the outcome and if that means people like Hart and Austin get rewarded by our current owner once the club has been sold then so be it. Like i also said as well though, if it transpires that all of a sudden the accounts look shocking and we are in debt to these people then yes it's not on but as things stand looking at the accounts and the AB notes all money the club get is accounted for isn't it?

Adam Hart is part of the company that runs the fitness, isn't he? Is it anyone with a criminal past that people don't want associated with the club

Interesting that if that is his only role, he has been at a number of commercial evenings engaging with potential sponsors

Interesting reading the varied / contrasting feedback on last night. All views consumed,  understood and appreciated.

Quite a few of you good folk know me from on here (historically), in the stands, the FFT sponsorship days or Twitter. What you see is what you get. No apologies for that if the show or I’m not your cup of tea. I / we try to appeal to a broad church (which has topped 8k on occasion) of listeners. Can’t please you all… but sincerely, we do try.

In the spirit of transparency, I’m happy to get on a call with anyone that wants to discuss our content, my integrity and/or history as a Town Fan. Drop me a Twitter DM with your details and I’ll make time for us. Sincere and open offer.

You’ll notice we talked about forward plans and access TSTBL will enjoy across  the coming season. In many ways, last night was about making decent introductions. Laying foundations on  which the show will build from. In short, there’s plenty more to come.

Cheers… and COYR.

I hear AH will be here again this season 100%That is how he comes accross to me too, no idea why but every time I listen to him I hear a watered down Lee Power (not suggesting he has the motives of LP or is even connected to him in any way).

Jesus. Standing seems like a breeze compared to Harts background. I'm surprised people aren't more worried about him.

And herein is the problem and I fail to believe it isn’t a problem. If you are a potential sponsor or investor with no pre-existing links to the club and you do a background search on Austin and Hart and see their background you are going to run a mile.

Ultimately for any redevelopment to happen at the CG a massive capital raise is going to be needed either via investors or finance as no one involved with the club has that sort of money. The involvement of these individuals in the club must be a red flag to potential sources of finance.

New information.

A bit odd for a fitness coach if true (I assume you know its true).

If he's just an employee of a third party fitness company that's OK isn't it?

It takes a lot to be in Britains 10 most wanted men alive at any point, even the Krays (!) didn't achieve that honour.

We aren't talking about Chippenham Town level offending, we are talking about Manchester City style offending, thats why fans are worried.

Being completely honest, I couldn't give a flying fuck if he still moves gear about now. Especially if he is really is just an employee of a firm the club employees. As said above its no different from someone flipping a burger having a criminal past.

My primary concern is us getting fleeced by unsavoury characters.

Me too, and i have no shame in saying i have met him a few times and he was lovely.  There is a very good chance he has fucked up hugely and has looking at it not since.

I also agree with Chalkie though i don't want anyone fleecing this club and i suppose this is where it comes down to trusting the current owner. I don't believe he will do anything that isn't legit and his career and businesses over the years suggest it's all above board.... He inherited these guys and i have no doubt has probably made a deal with the devil as such and told them he will look after them for helping

I haven't listened yet, but let's face it, the club (or the Trust) wouldn't have allowed Scott to appear on the PC if the remit was to grill him - the only reason this happened was that it was supposed to be a bit of fun and to hear Scott's voice, anyone that was expecting anything different is just not good a reading the room.

There is a reason that TSTBL has as much access to the club as it does, and fair play to them, they have spotted their niche and have embraced it.  Town fans are lucky to have as much content as they do compared to years gone by, and I think a lot of it was motivated by the lack of content coming from the club itself recently, the fans said, if the club won't do it, we will.

People just need to see it for what it is and decide what type of content they want to listen to, or just listen to all of it, just try to understand what space those content providers sit in to determine the type of content you will get.

If you read back you will see that all tough questions in a large quantity have been asked for the club, and open and honest responses have been received. These will be published in the AB minutes in approx. 7-10 days as well as via our channels. I then hope comments such as this will be put to bed. Thanks.

As previously stated we have no interest and nor should we in what channels the club use to communicate on, that's their media managers job. Like I said suggesting we had input/influence here is simply not true Therefore what they use is 100% their own choice. So whatever view we have on all the Pods has no impact on the clubs choice of who they engage with. Certainly the club will work with whoever they feel best presents and supports the topics they wish to get out there to fans. Suggest if you want more information on that and how they engage with external pods etc you contact Dave the new media manager.

Ooh, my account is working again, what great timing.

Here is a good example of the changes I can see in the Trust, as a very outside observer.

2005-2007 - significant investigation and pressure applied to understand the financial situation of the club and those involved in making key decisions.   Ultimately a lot of significant concern was dug-up about who was controlling the club, Mr M Diamandis.

2022 - Club brings onboard a Senior Exec who has been previously convicted of Money Laundering (an offence I would personally suggest should prevent you from being engaged with a "cash" murky business such as football), who in turn has a known Drug Dealer of old as a friend/business colleague at a company the club employs.  That Exec also, out of the blue because a friend told him it might be a good idea, trots off to Pakistan to find new "talent" with the aim of bringing two 15 year old kids back to the UK.  A process requiring Visa's for that individual and maybe a trailing family in a a known murky world where cash can exchange hands to get hold of Visa's.

Now, I am not saying the second example ends badly, it could all be just as described (which would simply mean it looks dodgy as shit and certainly not something a club still in debt needs to be chasing around after), but it requires far more investigation than asking if it is all above board and accepting any answer.  It also should not require a Trust, who aim to get into bed in a 50/50 deal to purchase the freehold (a great goal by the way), to wait several months of being badgered to ask those questions.  Yes, it may fuck off the club to dig around, but I'd sure as hell want to know everything I possibly could before getting into bed with that kind of decision maker of a business.

Sums up my thoughts exactly. I understand the Trust frustration at fans pointing fingers, after all the hard work they’ve put in. But - of all people, those involved in the Trust should appreciate that the lack of trust in the regime simply will not go away whilst Austin and Hart are anywhere near the club. The club will
inevitably trot out answers that it was a long time ago, and how they have the best intentions, but if that’s your way of doing business, and those are the circles you move in, I don’t think the club can be safe with them about.

And this is the problem summed up. Our current owner clearly believes that he can run the club without them causing any issues, as you have said yourself there, why should they trot out any answers if people are just going to dismiss whatever they say.

The Trust in my opinion should be keeping an eye on things and from what the guy above has said they have asked all these questions and they believe the club has asked them, if that is the case then fair enough . Problem is that the Trust will now be hit with a stick when the answers are not to peoples liking

Asking "is it a bit dodgy?" isn't going to get any sort of useful answers though, is it?

A bit of external digging is required.  Asking to be put in touch with the Pakistan club for example - one which doesn't seem to exist (a great example of why alarm bells should have been going off when announced).  You don't have to be the clubs friend on everything, even as a potential future joint venture partner.  I'd also want a one on one with Austin to really dig into the details of the partnership in Pakistan and his own background.  He can refuse of course.  The trust should have wanted to do all that, long ago.  It's precisely why we have an OSC as well.  The Trust doesn't always have to play nicely.

The Trust board 100% understand fans views, we ask the tough questions and will continue to do that, but we are a volunteer group of fans who will hold the club to account but we don't own STFC, Clem does and therefore we can feedback fans views (which we do and have, and will continue to do, as the OSC do), however who the club employ and work with is their choice and not the Trust or OSCs. We ensure fans views are known and represented, we ask the questions (even the tough ones), we forcibly provide the fans and our views on matters, but if the club disagree then that's their choice and prerogative. We do as much as we can and most of the time the club listen to us and the OSC and the club reacts and adjusts their stance based on fans feedback. However we cannot guarantee this will occur on all accounts. This is a fact of life we have to accept.

Asking "is it a bit dodgy?" isn't going to get any sort of useful answers though, is it?

A bit of external digging is required.  Asking to be put in touch with the Pakistan club for example - one which doesn't seem to exist (a great example of why alarm bells should have been going off when announced).  You don't have to be the clubs friend on everything, even as a potential future joint venture partner.  I'd also want a one on one with Austin to really dig into the details of the partnership in Pakistan and his own background.  He can refuse of course.  The trust should have wanted to do all that, long ago.  It's precisely why we have an OSC as well.  The Trust doesn't always have to play nicely.


Bingo. Shouldn't have been forced to ask these awkward questions, should have done off their own backs.... scrutiny is constructive, after all if Clem and Co are the real deal there should be nothing to hide

But, If the Club want the Trust to join them in a 50/50 venture to own the ground, you have a pretty good bargaining chip don't you? Thanks for engaging with us here, though.

Agree completely with this too. There’s only so hard the Trust can press the issue, because otherwise any access we currently have gets denied and then it really sours things. It’s a tightrope to tread. I’m mainly just disappointed that the dream we were sold by Morfuni last summer isn’t as rosy as it seemed. Far from it. It’s potentially as bad as Power, Diamandis, etc, but with a marketing gloss.

He was suggesting the Trust was picking and choosing, not the club.  That's how I read it.

Almost correct yes, not really picking or choosing, that is not a fact, I have been scolded about stating as fact.  I would say influencing.. call it bullshit, call it made up, call it what you want, but i have seen it in action.

Anyway, to avoid throwing shade on anyone I am going to leave the subject there.. I am not one to call somebody out on a public forum.

Solid interview with Vic Morgan and Lindsey that, straight to the point on everything. Lindsey speaks really well and grows on me everytime he does an interview. Straightforward, honest and comes across well- clear he wants to keep engaging with fans. Hard to dislike him. Just hope all this matches up with his capabilities as a manager, as if they do- it should be a good season 👍.

Macdonald and a number 9 and we are all set it seems.

Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, July 18, 2022, 19:27:33
Summary of Lindsey interview:

- Khan can play in same position as Payne but is different
- Won't make another signing in midfield as we have good numbers and balance
- Midfield is complete

Other deals?
- Centre half and a striker
- One is very close
- Will have budget if someone comes available on last day of the window
- Made an enquiry early on about Simpson. Too high a price tag and Ipswich will only loan to L1 team

Released players?
- Lindsey had input as part of a group of staff
- Would possibly have kept Conroy. But, he's got a really good contract there

Players leaving?
- Not worried.
- Would be surprised if clubs come in for players
- If lucrative offers came in we would discuss. But nothing concrete has come in

Preseason:
- Got minutes on pitch and have worked extremely hard
- Have got it spot on with no injuries.
- Happy where we are
- Adjusted training due to heat.
- Gladwin is back 5Kg lighter than last year. Was more pedestrian last year, but he's much fitter this season. Lindsey wants him more aggressive and gliding across the pitch like he used to

Playing Style?
- We have players who can play 352 or 433
- Not going to say what we are going to play. But will train in 2 different formations
- On plan B. Would like to play possession football, with more aggression
- Want to play from the back quickly and aggressively
- If we can play one pass to the forward then fine. But defenders dont let you do that often

Captain?
- Thought about it, but yet to make the decision
- Comes down to leadership skills, experience.
- Will have a vice captain to have two leaders
- He wants good leaders on and off the pitch

Baudry
- Not spoken to him about being a coach
- Very good professional and good fun
- Dont think he'll take the coach route.

Charlie Austin:
- Nothing in the rumours about talking to him

Lyden:
- Rehabbing with the club.
- Not under contract
- Hopefully fit around October
- Will look at him then to make a decision about a future contract
- Club doing the right thing by Lyden to help him recover
- A fit Lyden: What a player!

Garner relationship?
- He took the teapot too!
- Good guy. Spoke to him at the weekend
- Wouldnt be fair to comment on how he left the club
- Annoyed the way he took Payne? Yes, of course

Loan system usage
- Lots of value in having your own players
- If player that improves us and becomes available we'll take them
- Will probably have a 3rd in by the end of the window

Lindsey as a manager on the touchline?
- Concentrate on the game
- Yes, have passion
- Will engage with the crowd
- Will beat his chest as the club means a lot to him

Promotion?
- Puts pressure on himself
- Hope to win every game
- Will aim to do the best we can and wants to win promotion
- Has to have positive outlook and aim for promotion

Forward options?
- McKirdy and Reed: We want them to stay
- Looking for another forward. (And a centre half) Midfield is balanced and sound
- Wide areas have power and pace
- There is a signing imminent. Hoped it would have been done before the interview

Squad selection?
- Look at positions. Then look at players available. Then look at data. Then watch them. Then look at their character. Then make a decision
- Not rocket science. Simple process, but it takes a long time to do due diligence
- Decision made from 'coach's eye'

Cardiff?
- Won't be a million miles from the team that plays at Harrogate
- New players coming in might not be quite ready and might just need game time

Big change for Lindsey: How has it changed his life?
- He feels he deserves a go
- Done his apprenticeship. Been an assistant
- Worked with some good and some not so good managers. Has learned from both
- Feels its his times
- There have been some personal issues and he's had a difficult couple of years
- He will give his best and provide honesty and hard work
- Hopefully his brand will bring success
- More than equipped and ready to go
- Lindsey lost his wife to cancer 3 years ago. Learned much more about himself and other people through that
- Passionate about the club. Was a youth coach before. Coming back here has really helped him. It was the first job back in football after his wife died. He had to stand down at Forest Green to look after his wife. Feels indebted to the club for giving him a route back. The club means a lot to him

Where does he live?
- Home in Kent
- Always worked away from home.
- Wont be disrupting the family
- Has done it this way for years

Set pieces?
- Want to be a threat from corners
- Something we weren't good at last year

Promotion favourites?
- Will be competitive
- Crawley spent big
- Stockport County, Bradford and Salford all have big budgets
- Will be tougher this year than last

Thanks for the write up!

Sounds like McDonald and a striker sees our business done pretty much. Like the idea of leaving a couple of loan spaces free, could come in handy in Jan.

Also if we get the 2014/2015 Gladwin that would be like a new signing.

You don't have to be mad to be a coach at Swindon Town but it may help.

Really hope Scott Lindsay can make it happen, however, he will need a lot of good fortune and Saturday was simply not the start that was required.

In fact in my opinion Town were getting worse as the game went on.

Pre season results were not up to scratch and if the next half a dozen results are similar I think we will see changes.   

Just hope the results start to come.

I don’t have the knowledge to advise or espouse my considered vision of what you should do, who you should play or what formation. Actually I suggest Scott, pretty much everyone on this forum doesn’t either.

I’ll be chuffed to bits when you succeed. Cheers mate.

We definitely need a defensive coach. The way we concede goals was pathetic last season and it was pathetic on Saturday. Hopefully 'Mad Gav' Gunning can help sort them out the back. Another body that can play as well if we have a total disaster with injuries and suspensions.

Agreed, just find it a bit odd the lad that has been signed, young age for a coach and no coaching experience elsewhere.
I expected someone older, more experienced, I know everyone has to start somewhere if they want to get into coaching, but to go from playing last season, to intending to play this season,  then into a defensive coaching role this season with the chance of playing (is he good enough for this level ?).

Possibly SL knew him previously at FGR.
Also he would not be there to take over should SL be moved on.
Just seems a no win appointment except if he is there as an additional player if required

Agreed, just find it a bit odd the lad that has been signed, young age for a coach and no coaching experience elsewhere.
I expected someone older, more experienced, I know everyone has to start somewhere if they want to get into coaching, but to go from playing last season, to intending to play this season,  then into a defensive coaching role this season with the chance of playing (is he good enough for this level ?).

Time will tell if he manages to tighten up the defensive side of our game.

It does seem like Lindsey has gone into his little black book with this one. They were together at FGR so clearly he trusts him. But I think you have made good points re the experience. Obviously Bamba was supposed to be that guy (again not hugely experienced as a coach) but we've had to make do with Mad Gav. He has a lot of work to do!

We are now 4 games in as well as 1 league cup match without any victories. I've always said I would give Scott Lindsey all of August before making my mind up as to how this season is going to go. The early signs overall are not great, pre-season didn't seem to be used as much of a bonding exercise for the existing and the 13 new squad members and instead we saw him adapt a technique of playing some pre-season matches with the players fatigued. Genius or just clueless?

He said that we would play 'aggressive attacking football through the thirds' which on paper sounds great. I actually did see some evidence of this against Harrogate but there were so many misplaced passes after a decent first 25 minutes or so I think he abandoned this concept which is why we seem to look like a team so devoid of any tactical nous game after game. I haven't seen the last 3 games so can only go by comments on here really but it still sounds like SL hasn't decided on his favourite line-up, formation or even a style of play. Perhaps that's unfair given the shortish pre-season and when the new players were brought in that they haven't had chance to 'click' yet and this is going to take more time.

I'm encouraged and discouraged at the same time that our keeper is picking up man of the match awards, showing he is both competent, yet overworked. Angus seems to be still getting up to speed and with a couple of solid showings from Clayton a badly needed solid partnership at the back needs to be formed. The full backs sounds an issue, Hutton on paper sounded like a great signing but has flopped so far. Also a bit worrying that he was signed to be played in the 3-5-2 formation that Lindsey has now seemingly sacked off and he's hopeless in a back 4. Barrow fans did say he was crap defensively and it's being proved they are right. The midfield is another problem, Reed just isn't working very well and I'm worried we might never see Jonny Williams ever hit his real ability. Positive that Gladwin appears to have shown improvements and that Khan and Darcy look handy. Up front Harry has his goal that will hopefully kick start him and Wakeling has started well, a goal and an assist in his last 2 games.

Saturday is our 5th league game against the side rock bottom with their fans wanting their manager out. It's the perfect time for SL to fire up whatever side he plays and get 3 points to get the season up and running. I also read that on the touchline there are 4 voices on our bench shouting at the players? This does seem counter-intuitive and probably needs to be stopped. I get that passions are running high but the players need coherence. If we lose, I think questions really need to be asked whether SL is the right man for the role, perhaps he's always destined to be a number 2. I hope it works out but he has to put his stamp on things before the season peters out into unforgettable territory. We do have time to recruit but an already bloated squad isn't allowing a huge amount of wriggle room.

Malpas had 5 games by end of August including 2 league wins and a narrow defeat to QPR in the cup.  If we end up with no wins in 6 then it's on a different level of shiteness.

Given that the goal is promotion and players don't get sold for a profit if they are playing crap I can't see how it can be allowed to continue for another 3 months.

Yeah if he does last to November it best be because of a big upturn in form and not us stuttering along in midtable to bottom half.
He gets 10 games for me to show we are moving in the right direction,  he's quickly dropped the back 3 so that's a start, now over the remaining 6 league games I want to see an actual style to our play appearing and a couple of wins.

Clem has stressed previously that he wants to watch a team play 'good football' with a clear identity. Clearly that isn't happening currently. Clem presumably won't be enjoying what he is seeing. I would hope that behind the scenes discussions are being had as to potential replacements for Lindsey if performance/style of play don't improve. Swindon are pretty fortunate to be on 3 points. 10 games is long enough to make a judgement on this front.

I do think we have struggled this season due to the shorter pre season, yes I know all clubs are the same in thoery but teams with lower turnover of players and having the same manager that finished the season with will be at a huge advantage early in the season.

If he thinks the stats he is looking at from Sat means it was enough, then he is looking at the stats wrong. I have no problem with data being used, if used meaningfully.

Lies, damned lies and statistics - on our old friend xG, we've scored two goals too many and conceded three too few, and "should" be W2, L5, D0 for the season.

I'm sure as a manager there are a plethora of statistics out there that you can use to prove/make it seem like you should have won matches. Unfortunately, anyone that has eyes could see that we had 80 minutes with a man advantage but despite dominating possession and probably shots on and off target the fact of the matter was we were too lackluster and unimaginative to break down a Gillingham side, that despite defending well, should have been put to the sword. Obviously SL isn't going to use verbiage like that and I don't really bother with pre-match manager rambles anyway as it's mostly repetitive cliché but I think he needs to try and be a bit more realistic/honest as to how games have gone and stop hiding behind statistics. The fact of the matter was that we didn't win the game, and have to improve in order to win games going forward.

I couldn’t go, however, based on your comment that has to be what we’ve all been looking for. The fly in the ointment is doing that at home regularly and with aplomb to persuade the homies who rarely or never venture out of the SN postcode to watch the town play.

Last seasons love Clem fest save the town fest resulted in a WTF season that oh so nearly scooped the jackpot. A complete rebuild (a familiar & tired annual event under Pee Lower) and an at the time an uninspired managerial appointment against the backdrop of Garners ‘surprising’ success against the odds, with recruitment of hitherto unknown players.

Need to smack Northampton hard next week and grab three more points against a team who will be shoulder to shoulder with us at the top end of the table.

He deserves a lot of credit and has seemingly turned things round from a limp start.

There were red flags with the appointment process, the players lost and the 3 at the back formation in every game of preseason and the first games where it just looked awful. Garner cost us autos with his refusal to adapt at home and changed it just in time to scrape playoffs. Lindsey appeared as stubborn but did change and with the lack of preseason with 4 at the back we seemingly did need those games to get into gear.

We hopefully now have.

Need to extend his terms.

Loved it today as Grimsby were starting to turn the screw against our 10.
Wakeling broke away on his own his shot turned over for a corner.

I'm very much in the same boat/camp as you Mex. I won't pretend that the first few games this season weren't a particularly good watch but with every match there were signs of us moving in the right direction and at Donny (yes they were pants but I think we got it spot on that day) I thought we put together a really cohesive and solid 90 minutes. We've built on that with a very good win at Grimsby and really only look like going one way up the league. The squad and manager now look hungry to get out of this division, fair play to them.

October is a great barometer of where we can get to this season. We have (on paper) tough matches against Northampton, Bradford and Mansfield, an i've no idea what to expect really at Stevenage and what you might call gimmes at home to Newport, Colchester and Hartlepool.

Got to say Gillingham tested my 'wait a bit longer before judging' resolve.

3 wins in a row, 1 league loss. brilliant (though Sutton wasn't as convincing as other 2).

big test coming up from Northampton. obviously. But it is just one game and we have more to come I'm sure. We'll have to see if legs can cope with 2 games in a week (Gladders). is Williams back, he should be fresh

It did me until the Monday after I watched the extended highlights and we actually created far more chances that it seemed while watching it, we came up against a keeper playing the best game of his life and hit the post etc....

If even 1 of those chances had gone in then it would entirely have changed how bad it felt at the time.

We had 23 shots that day and 4 were on target, we hit the post, the Williams miss from 6 yards, the FBT header saved so well by the keeper, the 2 excellent saves by the keeper from Shades long rage efforts, the flick by Jephcott from 3 yards that could have gone anywhere but went over the bar.

It was just at the time it seemed like we created very little but that blatantly wasn't the case looking back at it.

From what i have been told and don't shoot the messenger is that SL has a say but does get presented with a pool of players selected for him, if the club offered him 4 rbs though and he did not want one then they wouldn't sign them. Shade and Harries were both Garner signings   
That's not really 'news'. Both he and Sandro said that at the beginning of the season.

Lindsay (Manager), Day (Assistant), Gunning (Coach), Mildenhall (GK Coach), Laraman (Helping) is the first team coaching staff I think.

I'm not going to get remotely exercised over who is and isn't collecting cones, but it does feel a little like Lindsay prefers people like himself who have been around the lower leagues and have an er... more "motivational" rather than tactical approach. May be totally wrong on that, but it doesn't feel like a coaching staff bringing a range of skills to the table so much as a group of similar people.

Sounds positive. On matchdays it does seem a lot more shouting than in-game tactical changes at the moment, but maybe those will come with time and maturity of the side.

I was exactly the same so asked them and he explained it this way.

He stands out front instructing as he see the game
Gunning will come out and instruct when defensive shape is off or player isn't tracking back
Mildenhall is in charge of set pieces
Day i found most interesting, he won't do anything for the first 5-10 mins as he is in charge of watching opposition team shape and will come out and let lindsay know of any shape changes

I thought the exact same thing as you originally but when he explained i watched the next game in the dug out and it went exactly like that

It has been noticeable how Day, Gunning, Mildenhall are all more reserved now, picking and choosing their moments with Lindsay leading out in front.

There was a home game earlier in the season where they were all out barking their heads off and it was ineffective/embarrassing.

Looks like they are settling into their roles now.

However, tactically we still haven't worked out how to un-isolate the striker. Too many games when Wakeling previously and now Jephcott are fighting for scraps as they have no-one to consistently link up with. I had hoped that Wakeling going out wide might get that balance better but it hasn't at all.

I think sometimes we need to take a step back and see it for what it is. He is a young lad in his first pro season as a footballer. For context he has only played 100 minutes more football than Harry Parsons. It was definitely worth the deal imo and he will prove worthwhile in the long run i am sure

Interview with SL today. Some interesting bits on coaching Hutton from c. 11 minutes.

So far as Hutton is concerned, I had admired his crossing but also found them unproductive.  They were too loopy to threaten from for the likes of Wakeling or even Jephcott, who were invariably outnumbered anyway.  SL noted, I think, that he wanted harder, even lower crosses and delivered not at the first opportunity but further down the pitch and when we'd got more than one attacker against "three oak trees".  

The whole 17 min. interview was interesting, so thanks for posting.

you don't think another manager come in and get more out of these players.

Style of play, set piece routines, formation, in game management, player selection, patterns of play.

I'm just not seeing the positive effects in any of the above that Lindsey brings right now. We aren't seeing new things, new methods or any attempt at fixing the current form. We are coming out of games without barely having a shot at target for a number of weeks now.

I don't think our injury/absence list can be discounted.

But it's a mystery as to why he stuffed around with formation. I know we haven't got a JW caliber replacement, but just slot someone in there ffs. Tails were up and the team knew what it was doing

confidence has drained away on and off the field

I've just had enough of league 2. If he can get us out then fantastic

I want to see him trying new things to fix the current problems. If they aren't getting fixed then yes I've had enough of him.

The other thing that is always in the back of my mind is that we are on awful form but the season is still salvageable looking at the table. A new manager could come in and within 6 months earn promotion. For Lindsey it will only take a couple of wins to turn this around but at the moment we are lacking a couple of shots.

Mansfield was truely brilliant, there hasn't been many games this season where we have played really well though.
