Yeovil Town vs Swindon Town - Official Match Day Thread

[Reg Smeeton]

Were you there today, Reg?

Nope...

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Nope...

I know it's fair to say it's not that bad but it was an incredibly frustrating performance, the usual mistakes along with a complete lack of shape and creativity in the second half and I really am starting to wonder when we will turn it around.

May be unbeaten in 2, but look who we played - 2 sides who we should be beating if we are to be in and around the top 6. They were both shite, make no doubt about that but we were barely any better and were fortunate to come away with a point from both of those matches. Against better sides we would have come away well beaten.

[Processed Beats]

Well well well.

What an abolsute load of pathetic shit. Almost mirror image of the Dagenham match with the good start and then turnaround by the hosts.

First half we were on top, although only just. Think Yeovil's early substitution changed it for them, really added to their forward power. Fucking ridiculous decision by the ref and his lover lino for the free kick that led to their goal. Why oh why must officials be so fucking shite these days i don't know.

Second half it was obvious Yeovil were going to have the momentum and it showed. Their second was another aboslute clanger by Lucas, much like the Plymouth match, which i think merits him being dropped. The third was a poorly played offside trap, with their bloke benfitting with a good finish. Just as i gave up and thought it was all over.

O'brien for the first time in my memory actually came on and made an impact! Scared the shit out of their right back, causing them to nervously give away throw-ins and corners, and ultimately the set pieces were their downfall.

Yes, the comebacks are good and positive, but we're still dropping points againstm forgive me, teams we should be looking to beat. It's really time to start stringing a sequence of results together, yet we're still as inconsistent as ever.

A word on Frampton - he was slow but otherwise a very accomplished debut. Nervous about his fouling though!

And a final word on that cunt Adam Virgo. He's really let himself go, fucking huge these days. I hope Yeovil get relegated just so he can feel some of the pain from 2003/04.

There's little to choose between a lot of teams in this league...eg Yeovil had OTJ a player we tried to sign a while back, Orient had Revell a player we certainly had a good look at.

So nothing is going to be done easily, and all points have to be scrapped for...we move on to Charlton....

i think you have it right.that little bit of quality from an individual is what saw us good last year.lacking it now is seeing us struggle this term.
lucas for instance who was mint last year, is now being slated and wished for dropping by some.

These random shifts in fitness, form, ref decisions etc is what plague most teams at this level. So for example about this time last year Paynter was out of the side...he then comes back in scores a couple at Tranmere and away he goes.  Lucas will doubtless come good again...

maybe our no.1 could do with a break/rest - give smithy a chance he deserves it also we're not getting rub of green at mo - today austin hits post / they score from free kick which should never have happened also anyone that wants rid of the boss needs to think twice - who do you suggest we replace him with ? just let him carry on doing a great job - things will turn for us eventually - just hope it wont be too late for us to push for play offs at least - DANNY WILSONS RED & WHITE ARMY

To be fair, if there is anyone out there who thinks DW needs to go, they first need to be ignored and then lobotomised.  We're going through a sticky patch.  That's it.  Happens to the best of them.

If we're 16th or lower in 6 months from now, then I'll change my tune.  But we won't be.  I imagine we're going to be Danny Wilson's Red & White Army for some time to come.

Hope your right we're just not getting the same fortune as last season at moment - settled team no injuries / suspentions - this makes all the difference to a team/squad our size - keep the faith ......

Said I wasn't going to log on tonight because of what I expected to be a pit of despair but I am pleasantly surprised by the majority being realistic views.  I can understand the match attending posters slitting their wrists after the day that they have experienced but most other posts are quite realistic which is nice for a Saturday night!

Millwall of last season are still giving me hope.  Keep the faith until at least Xmas and then we can organise a mass suicide!

Did they have that shitty trumpet again?

They did have a cow bell, thankfully didn't use it much. That is probably the quietest game of football I've been to I reckon


Got pissed off and left 5 minutes before the end 'cos we didn't even look like creating anything and seemed like they'd given up?!

Heard the cheers for the goals on the way back to the car...at least I got to stand in the cold for a couple of hours

[Saxondale]
