Swindon Town FC vs Wycombe Wanderers FC Official Matchday Thread

[Batch]

As for Ferry, really didnt think that much of him today. Good debut but done nothing since. He's good on the ball but i'd still rather see Easton in there. Wolves showed he's still got it!

Really? I think he links things up very nice. Oh well, it's a forum of differing opinions. Though going 4-4-2 has it merits.

I hope Easton gets a chance, shame he lost form last year as I think he is beter than Timlin.

some interesting points... don't agree with Spence that WW dominated, I must have been watching a different game! Nor that we played with three up top, surely that was the whole problem? Revell and Paynter are too similiar which is why it didn't/doesn't work as a partnership. Revell often gets in the positions I would want Paynter to find, and he's not as good. In fact, I'd say he's shit. Love the description of him as Blair in Corr's body!

Everyone could see it needed Tope - who was excellent - to replace Revell up top, and Macca to go on the flank.

I thought Wycombe were utter tripe and there for the taking. Why we didn't finish them off I'll never know, but we lost our shape when JPM and Ferry went off, as others mentioned. In the second half, despite the fact that Wycombe created few chances, an equaliser seemed inevitable.

As for Lescinel. His second half was as dreadful as his first was good. He should have come off way before he did, and I think he was at fault for the goal. He gave up after Phillips went round him, fucking infuriating.

I love wilson but he fucked up taking JPM and Ferry off and not replacing Lescinel and Revell earlier.

Still, better to be fucked off having drawn than having lost.

I agree that Tope and Paynter must start Tueday, with Macca starting. And Kennedy for Lescinel. I hope Cuthbert gave him a good hiding in the dressing room after the game.

Onwards and upwards.

Good post

luxury player.end of

I agree McNamee is a luxury. But I think we can afford this luxury when weve got Douglas in the middle cleaning up. A luxury player can still be a hard working player. So long as he gets up and down makes himself available and put in good balls then he can still pull his weight.

[juddie]

macca should always play at home IMO. I an see why he's dropped away. Guess it depends on who we play, but he would have raped them today. They were abysmal.

[juddie]

I do feel thoroughly f*cked off we didn't win today, but we are so much better than last season it's ridiculous. If Cox was still here we'd be top three.

It's all about Charlie Austin!

Looking foward to getting high with Charlie and Billy up top.

pinning hopes on a wessex league player is doomed to failure.
we need a chunk of money invested in the side, which has the base of a decent team now.
either we stumble along doing ok,or we have a real go at getting out of this dire league we are in.

fitton should throw some proper money at the side and pronto

[juddie]

it was tongue in cheek arriba. we do need a striker. Hey, Nile Ranger was impresive for the barcodes today.

[Arriba]

i know what you were saying was tounge in cheek regarding austin.but you can bet the morons in our crowd will soon be on his back(if he gets on that is)

[deltaincline]

I agree with Juddie that Revell was shit today. Far too early though to write him off as just being a shit player. He looked  completely different today compared with his home debut though. Possibly carrying a knock?

The side look good at the back, creative and solid in midfield, but shit up front. We can afford either Revell or Paynter to be playing as one of a front pairing but as has been said many times already, they are shit playing together. They are too fucking samey and both take far too long to pull the trigger.

If Wilson fails to sort out a loan striker soon it will prove costly. He's built a very good side in a very short space of time - albeit with some loans that we probably won't ever get a chance of signing permanently - but we'll soon lose momentum and confidence all over the park without an end product, which would be a disaster as it's sooo fucking long since we've had a side that shows so much genuine promise.

And before some smart cunt has a dig about remembering where we've come from, and not expecting too much this season; i'm only being realistic. The club made a statement by recruiting Wilson and they've backed him 100% since he arrived. In turn, he's quickly raised our expectations by virtue of the quality of players he's brought in and the quality of the football being played. Results and current league position aint bad either

All I'm saying is that it would be a fucking shame to spoil all that Wilson and the players have done so far by us not having a goal scorer to complete the picture.

[Barry Scott]

How many goals would Paynter or Revell score in the Wessex league I wonder? I know it's a crap league, but i can't help thinking you'd have to have something to score more than a goal a game for more than 60 games.

[juddie]

so, who do we sign then?

[juddie]

having seen what he's done at huddersfield, we would have been frighteningly good with theo robinson up top...

[Arriba]

that all boils down to money juddie.how much will decide who

Wessex League is a decent standard of football. The difference aint that big, which is why we've courted Austin.

Obviously Wilson is going to play down the signing so there's no pressure on him, but he'll be gagging to get him involved.

[deltaincline]

so, who do we sign then?

No one springs to mind. I'm hoping for a decent loan signing or maybe someone dropping out of the prem with a few years left on the clock.
