Swindon v Southend matchday thread.

[DMR]

Nice to see Andy Cryer was watching the match:

BARRY Corr looks set for another long spell on the sidelines after injury forced him off late in a dire Town display at the County Ground.

He went off in the first half Andy.

I've long since come to conclusion he makes it up as he goes along. I know everyone was spitting praises out for his coverage on the takover - fair enough -  but the man clearly can't write up the basics of a football match, worse than pissin' Ritson.

[Chubbs]

according to brunell corr "limped" off holding his shoulder   :shock:

[Summerof69]

Only two players got any credit for today's game and that was McNamee and Comminges, even though Comminges was slightly at fault for the goal for letting their full-back go past him.

The rest...well were crap...and Ifil couldn't pass water.

Even though, we still had enough chances to win the game,and the ref was a cock, giving their diving no.28 a free kick every time he fell down.

[Reg Smeeton]

Was sat up by DV and he said we need to watch it because we could find ourselves sucked into the dogfight, which I said I don't think will happen. Not so sure now, if the likes of Gills, Rovers and Milwall take points of us then we're in trouble.

 Key result today was the failure of Gillingham to win at Port Vale.....they've a couple of difficult fixtures befroe we play them,  can't see them getting more than 48,  can't see us getting more than 48 at the moment.

  Sarfend, showed the way to get a PO side.....bunch of big buggers, who work hard,   and press players all over the pitch.

The ref was awful, not biased just incredibly picky and slowed the game down.

Brez made a few decent saves, so maybe three players creditable.

[DMR]

To be fair it could have been worse. The ref didn't give them most stone wall penalty I've seen for yonks, after Ifil's handball.

[Bogus Dave]

Fuck me. We got what we deserved today. We had chances at the end, but only because southend had decided to sit back and hold on to what they've got. The players didn't look interested at all, couldn't be fucked. Something that's becoming more and more apparant. Aljofree Is shite. Mcgovern Was turf, timlin had an awful game. Only positive was Mcnamee, We look so one sided it's unreal.

Now onto Malpas. I've been one of his biggest supporters, but im starting to loose faith. His 4-3.5-2.5 Formation clearly wasn't working. It was obvious after 15 minutes. Why the fuck did it take us untill half time to change the way we were playing!! Hes taken a team from comfortable mid table to relegation form. I'm still willing to give him some more time, but if we carry on like this we may not even be in this division next season.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Not good enough. That is all i can be bothered to say at the moment. I simply can't see us getting a win again this season at this rate. Just why do we play well for 10 minutes and not 90? What baffles me is that when we do play well we create 3 good chances and fail to take any of them. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

My patience with Maplas is beginning to wain. Not good enough at the moment.

[Colin Todd]

absolute shite. my faith that malpas should be given a chance is fading rapidly :evil:

[Arriba]

ifils dramatic loss of form points to his confidence being shot to peices.
why is this?the lad was fantastic last season and started this season very well.i think the loss of sturrocks coaching team is taking its toll imo.

[DV]

that was utter rubbish.

the players, the formation and the manager. All of it was wrong today.

We never looked like a threat going forward, we never showed any urgency.

Ifil gets shakier every week.

It was bloody cold as well!!!

He's had alot of games now and im not convinced. I believe a summer wth Malpas will be a summer wasted, if we give him the summer he'll bring in his own players and what not and be sacked less than 3 months in the season and we're back to square one a new manager with another managers team and players.

Malpas took over a good squad, one that was going well. Its got worse....thats some talent.

Away teams used to view coming to Swindon as a tough game, a battle and if they took away a point they'd be happy. Now they see it as an easy 3 points.

We're not even safe yet and at this rate we wont even finish above Cheltenham.

[Bogus Dave]

we wont even finish above Cheltenham.

nooooooooo  

The shame

[Ralphy]

One team is gonna go down with about 53 points, I pray it isn't us.

[Arriba]

if we go down it wll be the biggest disaster i've witnessed as a fan.
dont think it will happen.
but malpas has to go.

[Ralphy]

The bloke is just so bloody boring and has no passion.

I used to love Sturrock's cheeky character and he bought the best out of players.
