Players and managment abuse.

[Bogus Dave]

Without wishing to sound a Jonah, I think things are likely to get worse, than they are now...so far this season I think we've been gettting the rub of the green, few injuries to key players, two games v 10 men, two pens awarded, none against and a reasonable fixture list. It tends to even itself out over a season.

ohh stop being such a negative nancy. We'll stay up, and if its on the last day of the season then even better!

[DV]

nah, fuck it....why bother with the rest of the games might as well just relegate us now.

You dont go from a 13th place team to relegation candidates over night. We've only lost one first team player in Comminges.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

You dont go from a 13th place team to relegation candidates over night.

You can do if there's only a point between 13th and the relegation places.

we could go down as we are conceeding a worrying amout of goals.
i dont know if we will but we are in trouble.incidents like the one this thread is about is typical of how things have been this season.what a mess!

Does that mean all our comedy defensive errors are done and dusted then!

Look on the bright side, we are only 11 points outside the playoffs and have most of the season left to catch up

I'll get my boots on Arriba!!
Seriously sorting out the backline is a damn site easier than anywhere else on the park, worrying.

If we're accepting that the squad lacks quality and would struggle regardless of who was in charge, then there is a question to be asked as to whether it is even worth sacking MM? The financial cost of relegation may well be less than the cost of sacking and upgrading the management team, and then improving the squad to league 1 standard.

The probelm is we're getting turned over by teams who aren't very good. I think this is a pretty crap division and we're too crap to compete at the moment. I haven't seen a really good side this season. A half decent side would have turnoed Leeds and Millwall over.
We are absolute relegation fodder and I can see some team coming here and absolutely dicking us 5 or 6 nil.  At this moment I can see absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel. I think even a new manager is going to struggle.
I really had high hopes for this season but its Groundhog Day.
I'll be there Tuesday but I really don't want to go. There is still this stupidity in me that says this is the game we turn the corner but I expect a 3 -1 defeat, a capitulation before a ball is kicked, our experienced players hiding, a shamles of a defence, a midfield that neither supports the attack or defence, a good forward line, zero tactical awareness, everyone back at a corrner, us playing 1 up front when we're down with 2 minutes to go, player baiting, Malaps out chants, fans turning on each other etc, etc.
This Swindon experience is really fucking uplifitng isn't it.

Team that put in that great 10 man performance agains Swansea

Brezovan - still here

Comminges - gone
Ifil - still here
Aljofree - still here
Vincent - still here

JPM - still here
Easton - still here
Peacock - still here
Zaaboub - gone (off after 28 mins)

Simon Cox - still here
Billy Paynter - still here (on after 28 minutes)

Team that beat Nottm Forest at the County Ground last season

Brez - still here

Comminges - gone
Ifil - still here
Aljofree - still here
Vincent - still here

JPM - still here
Easton - still here
Peacock - still here
Zaaboub - gone

Paynter - still here
Sturrock - still here

Pretty much the same players unless losing Comminges and Zaaboub has turned us from a mid table team to relegation fodder.

We're under performing badly, yes and the longer it goes on the worse it gets....but relegation certs and liable to a 6-0 spanking, are we fuck.

Christ, I remember when I was classed as the pessimist on this forum. Its bad dont get me wrong but some of you have got us relegated after 11 fucking games!!

Which is a bit hypocritial on my part as I had us relegated before a ball was even kicked in 05/06 but that team really was shit....

we will turn it around

Especially when you consider the teams weve got over the next 6 weeks. Could be we hand the new manager a nightmare start and things dont improve.

To be honest, I think things are going to worse before they get better. Things will only start to get better once weve got everyone pulling in the right direction, fans, players, manager, board etc. The players wont find the motivation unless they start getting the support.

Like I said, I think the next 6 weeks will be a bit of a nightmare, then things will be decided in december. Cant see an instant turnaround even with a new manager. I can see another Ipswich Town.

I would not encourage anyone to come to the next 4 home games. Not going to be pretty. Weve just got to find the bottom of this barrel, and then with the desperation, then should come a bit of spirit. This name and that name means nothing now, its all about what hes doing on the pitch, reputations count for nothing.

[Spencer_White]

DV, all that shows is how quickly weve gone backwards in 8 months.

Names and reputations count for nothing. Otherwise all we will be doing in a years time is saying actually, they were shit that season. Just like we look at Sean O'Hanlon now and think, what a load of rubbish he was that season.

It does show how backwards we've gone but then it also shows the players are capable of so much more than they are showing! which still gives me slight belief they can turn it around.

I obviously dont watch O'Hanlon every week but he was poor that relegation season with us (worst ever captain imo) and from what I've seen (which admittidly isnt alot) he is still shit. His part in our first goal at MK was class!!!

[JPC82]

My opinion is we have a good squad for league 1, look at how these same players performed under Sturrock, Jerel, Easty, Timlin etc were great players at this level, i think its simply down to the managers lack man management skills and poor tactical decisions, the players are making daft errors because they arnt enjoying playing under such a wally like big mo

[Spencer_White]

Thats just blaming Malpas for everything.

Besides, the next manager may well be just as bad.
