Swindon Town FC vs Wycombe Wanderers FC Official Matchday Thread

[juddie]

personally, rightly or wrongly, I have a feeling austin will be ace.

At worst he'll be better than revell.

[Simon Pieman]

Jean-Francois looked jaded towards the end and I thought he should have been subbed sooner. I think it would be harsh to blame him for the goal, shit defending all round and the whole team brought it on themselves by playing awful and inviting pressure.

I thought Obadeyi had his best game for Swindon and was my man of the match.

[RJack]

I think JFL will be dropped especially after using a string of abusive words at the Wycombe bench yesterday and the ref rightly booking him for it.

Did anyone not notice Wilson not acknowledging JFL when he went off? That indicated to me that DW wasn't happy with him.

Yesterdays game was one of the most infuriating games i've seen this seen.  I too found the subs very odd,once we lost JPM we lost our shape in midfield.

Too much long ball yesterday we seemed to adopt Wycombe's style of play.  I think Wycombe will go down this season worst team i've seen home & away so far.

Charlie Austin was in Exec Area yesterday i could see him cursing very quietly a couple times on missed opportunities soapy tit wank.

[Spencer_White]

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.

With Macca it only works if you have an equal threat on the other side.

Until he's had about 3 games. Then we'll all be wanting to give Revell another go.

[dell boy]

Dell, whilst I agree that I should get a grip. I have to ask whether you were there at Walsall? Weve been awesome at times with 4-4-2 and two wingers.

No I wasn't at Walsall, one of the few games I've missed. Didn't mean to be offensive by the way. I suppose 4-4-2 is what players in this country understand and it might be the answer to revert to that system.

[leefer]

The morning after looking back JPM hitting the post and Billys last min chance we had oppurtunities...it reminded me of our match at Walsall last week ware they should have beat us and we nicked a point....big matches this week..ime hoping to go to both...tuesday via the lorry as ime working down that way.
It is abit frustrating at times the way even when ware drawing or losing we dont throw the kitchen sink at them...but in the past that has meant chucking draws into losses..the way we performed at Wolves has givem me a chink of hope for the future cos if we could sneak a way into the championship and get some players in then we could maybe get the good times back under Wilson.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Well in general that was pretty wank. Probably the worst i've seen us play this season. The 1st half was actually alright and much as I expected. We dominated the midfield, played some neat passes and looked like scoring a few. We got the goal then continued to press for another and up until JPM hit the post with that great curling effort it looked like one way traffic.

However after that it fell to pieces sadly. We came out second half and looked totally clueless. They changed their gameplan to sit back and snuff out any creativity we had. And it worked. We starting sitting back on the lead and looked lacklusture and like we really didn't care. For me that's not acceptable. Especially given the fact that the game was clearly there for the taking. Why did Wilson take off Ferry and JPM? They were the only 2 players who actually looked like creating anything decent for us. He should have put Macca on sooner than he did and pushed Tope (who I thought was excellent yesterday and my MOTM) upfront.

The goal was always going to come and it was just a matter of when. Sure enough it did come and it was from some poor defending from ourselves which we haven't seen much of this season so far. We totally blew it and to top it off we missed a sitter in stoppage time from Paynter which we didn't deserve anyway. Wycombe were full value for their point and fair play to them for having a good go at it in the 2nd half. No disrespect to them but a better team would have beaten us yesterday.

Wilson needs to sort the team out now I think. We should scrap this whole 3 in the centre of the park business and go with 4-4-2. JFL needs to be dropped now I think. You can see he looks tired and is more mistake prone than he was at the start of the season. Kennedy looks more composed. Give him a go. Wish he'd start Macca as well. Don't see why he doesn't play from the off at home. Put Tope upfront for Exeter because we seriously lack any striking options. Thought Paynter was useless and way off the pace. Him and Revell upfront doesn't seem to work. In short, sort it out Wilson! If we are serious about challenging in this league we need to be better than we were 2nd half. Simple as that.

I've alluded to this in the past, but Wilson's teams have often seemed to lack a real goalscorer...now this isn't necessarily a bad thing. An interesting season for comparison is 03/04, when Plymuff won the league with Mickey Evans and Marino Keith up front, who scored 20 between them. As with Sturrock's Div 4 winning side the goals came from all over...apart from Blair who failed to notch in 24 sub appearances 

Shitty under Wilson screwed up eventually, because of having Peacock and Lee Miller up front.  A young Leroy Lita came off the bench a bit, but only scored 5 goals.  Peacock/Miller scored 22 between them.  The same season Mooney/Parkin scored 38, but we still didn't go up.

At a key time Shitty drew at home 1-1 with Wycombe...the report on the game goes thus..."City will rue their lack of finishing power on a night when promotion rivals Plymouth Argyle and Queens Park Rangers both won."

I've kept away from this place until i calmed down,just incase i made an utter fool of myself and said things i may regret,I cant for the life of me understand how we did't win that game yesterday.The substitutions we're just odd,but after hearing ferry was tired and jp took a bit of a knock it's understandable,but why was paynter playing out wide and revell in the middle it just did't work,it's either revell or paynter not both and if im honest i would rather have paynter than revell,paynter looked a bit lost yesterday being pushed out wide so im not going to slate him for a poor game.

I like danny wilson and think he's a great manager but does he just lack that extra bit guile that may cost us dearly,hartlepool fans we're forever saying about him playing players out of position,when you look at the pace we have in the side Macklin/Macca and tope why did we play revell and paynter against a slow back four.Im no manager but you could see had we used pace running at them they would have shit themselves.We have to many players in the same mould and trying to accommodate them all dont work.

I dont understand why im not overjoyed this season because i would have given anything for us to be in this position last season.

One last point was it danny wilson who converted midfielder paul warhurst to a striker at sheff weds,if so i wonder if that's what made him keen on the idea of trying players out of position.

[Luci]

I thought Obadeyi had his best game for Swindon and was my man of the match.

I agree, my MOM also, however JP had a good game as always so thats fair enough.

Bloody hell, Paynter and Revell wound me up today - rooted to the spot on so many occasions waiting for the ball to come to them - two big lads with a physical presence did absolutely nothing yesterday IMO.

I agree with everyone regarding the crazy decisions regarding subs - either Paynter or Revell need dropping for Tuesday seeing as it just didn't work.  I wanted to see Macklin given a chance yesterday also seeing as he has caused defences problems everytime hes given a chance.

Mex's idea of Tope Macca and Macklin sounds interesting and I'd like to see it out of curiosity seeing as though it has the potential to absolutely knacker out the opposition within the first 10 minutes!

Tope though had a great game today, worked hard and think we will see more from him yet.  I guess thats one positive!

[THE FLASH]

Was in London with Mrs Flash at Les Mis..

Sounds like you lot had a mierable time yerselves...

Hope there will be an improvement at Exeter!

No...Warhurst was at Blackburn by the time Wilson got to Wednesday.  Am I imagining Terry Fuckwit breaking Warhursts's leg at the CG?

I think we should be happy....we look to have the makings of a tidy mid table side which is an improvement on the last 3 or 4 seasons.

[Rustle]

Ahh cheers reg,Iv'e not got a clue about the leg break,if im honest i can't even remember it.

Yeah it was definitely Fenwick. I am also sure he somehow managed to even avoid getting booked for it as well.
