Swindon Town V Walsall Official Matchday Thread

[adje]

I feel so defeated, deflated...

Today was our chance, we didn't take it.

Our lack of ability to come back and win worries me.

Our defence was rock solid a few games ago. Till Wilson needlessly changed it.

Wilson out?

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

This isn't down to Wilson Dave (I do realise you weren't being serious Adje....or were you??)

It's just what happens at this time of the season when you are going for promotion..ask Leeds, Millwall, Charlton..etc

[Panda Paws]

we are only 2 points behind 2nd! some people need to fucking cheer up!

This!

We are still in with a great chance of Auto, a better chance than we we had this time yesterday! and FFS, when was the last time we had something good to play for going into the last three games, its been an incredible season and could still get alot better. The table will change next week and the week after, and if we are in with a shout going to Millwall then we have a chance!

Cheer the fuck up, yes it's frustrating, but every side gets nervous, goes long too early and makes mistakes when there is alot at stake, which is why the other sides lost today and which is why the other sides will drop points in the last 3 games, just like we will.

Yes....(no)!

[alanmayes]

I think you're being a bit harsh Dave.I'd say that our lack of composure upfront due to
nerves and anxiety,especially from the young players,has been as much of a problem.

[leefer]

God i am pissed off...cant say as anyone played badly and for me its up to the experienced players to step up in these situations....Wilsons subs baffle me,its my only critism....Pericard is awfull and Nouble hasnt done anything special...cant fault the effort but that little bit extra has been missing that good teams have who push on and go up.
Played some real nice football again at times and we stiill have a sniff....but thats all it is now i feel.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Annoying not to win but a draw was a fair result. Can't complain with the season we're having, too much doom and gloom on the texts into radio Swindon after the game.

Wilson made the correct changes, it's just a shame that Frank Nouble and Vincent Pericard are two of the most clueless players I have seen for us since Fola Onibuje in 2006. Not sure who was worse.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

I've no complaints about that. We didn't deserve to win that game. We were awful in general from start to finish with a few spells in there that were half decent but nothing more. What's with the fucking hoofing today? The only player who wanted the ball on the floor was JD. He was getting the ball down but no one else seemed to be doing anything with it.

We gave them a crap goal. A really crap goal from nothing. It wasn't even like the Exeter goal. It was just shit from us. Pure shit. Cuthbert shouldn't have passed it to Lucas in the first place and why Lucas decided to pass it back is beyond me. Should have hoofed it out but instead Cuthbert treads on the ball and it's 1-0.

As soon as it's 1-0 you never fancy us but Walsall looked like they were on holiday already. The sad reality was that we did as well. Nice poachers goal from Charlie and you think we are back in it and should go on to win but Charlie comes off and it goes to pot. No one took the game by the scruff of the neck. Nouble and Pericard were poor and Timlin had 10 good minutes before he decided he'd join in the show and become shite as well.

I guess the positive points are we have still closed the gap to Leeds abelt only by a point and we have now confirmed a play-off place which is good. But there was a missed chance and if we perform like that in the play-offs we have no hope at all. I fucking hope we win our last 3 and Charlton beat Leeds. We'd go up then but I just can't see it after today.

Thing is tho' Leefer-no one,apart from Norwich,is "pushing on".

[Arriba]

if we dont go up this season it will be a massive fuck up.
i dont give a shit about all this "we're lucky to have a club,we should be mid table" bollocks.
we have had a fucking golden chance of promotion,if we blow it then its our fault.
so many opportunities have not been taken.
time to show if they have the bollocks or not to get out of this division.

but all the teams in contention are doing exactly the same-its anxiety,and totally normal!

Really?

[pride_of_wilts]

Let's just hope if we don't get auto we win the play-offs but who thinks we could win them?

I do-every other team is as vulnerable as we are.

As i said the effort has been outstanding...but we havnt got that little bit of quality required when needed....Ward was our best chance and cannot believe he was taken off...the amount of corners we get that get wasted is annoying but we still have a squeak and i for one is pissed off because of the great opportunity spurned.
