It's because you're a plastic and don't really know the team that well.

I think it must be it! I'm only happy when watching Swindon from the comfort of my pub with Jeff Stelling's score updates in tow! I hate having to drag myself across the English Channel to watch us play!

Give Sean a chance, he's fucking insane on FM2010..

[Don Rogers Shop]

My ownly (slight) fault of Wilson is his reluctance to play youngsters but if he doesn't think they are ready then thats his call.

[LucienSanchez]

I'm more concerned about O'Brien being rubbish rather than his hammy going... new left winger and striker please.

I think in the few matches he played at the back end of last season, he definitely earnt himself another look. In all fairness, yes he was a little bit shit but if you can attribute that to lack of match fitness, then a decent run in the side may see him come good. On the other hand he may turn out to be another Ricky Shakes, another player with blistering pace but with no skill or anything between his ears.

He had a good game in the Charlton semi final home leg. They just couldnt handle our pace and he was a big part of that.

Our fans ought to be looking to support these players, rather than rubbish them.

But yes, his fitness is a real worry.

[LucienSanchez]

I won't abuse him or owt, i just fear he may be a weak link... obviously i hope he is decent!

Obrien, Smith and Pericard are going to be the boo boys victims this year.  Although JPM proves you can turn that section of the crowd around.
All Obrien has to do is pinpoint crossess every time and Pericard to score a couple of goals every game.

Couple of goals every game is a big ask mate. All i ask from all our boys is to give it their all and show passion for the shirt they are wearing.

trogladite's post was tongue in cheek Crispy!

I think part of the problem is people expect too much of our forward players. If they don't do special things they don't like them.

It's great to have your Charlie Austins, who excite you because every time they shoot you think they'll score, but it's equally important for people like Austin to have players who will disrupt the back line, peg the opposition back and come up with the goods on occasion themselves. It creates space, makes it hard for one player to be marked out of a game and takes the pressure of one or two players.

If O'Brien stays fit and works on his first touch he could be very effective in this division. And exciting.

I think O'Brien has something to offer, and totally agree with the rest of your post.

I think O'Brien has pace. Little footballing ability though. Willing to give him some leeway, but I may not be tolerant for too long.

I'd need to see more positional awareness and defensive ability before I warm to his presence in the team.
