Swindon Town -vs- yeovil Town Matchday thread

[tj2002]

I've been in the give Wilson more time camp for a while now. What he got out of the players last year was phenomenal, for whatever reason everything just clicked. For whatever reason this just hasn't happened this season, and watching from afar all does not seem right in the camp.

I suspect egos have been a problem in the dressing room this season, certain players that were brought in to be big influences in the dressing room and on the pitch, Prutton perhaps, just haven't worked out for me. Last year we had a young hungry squad of players who were genuinely happy to be playing football.

Unfortunately the squad disharmony or lack of effort, commitment and guile has to be blamed on Wilson. The buck stops with him, it's his team, his tactics and his questionable substitutions that have put us in this situation.

Add to this the fact that were down to 3 centre backs on Monday and Charlie will be gone in January, I just don't see where the positives are at the moment.

It's not an attractive job for anyone else to take on so people thinking Pauolo Sousa etc are dreaming. Gary Johnson could be an option but with 2 weeks of the window left decisions have to be made quickly if they are to be made.

So fucking frustrated and annoyed at the moment, home to fucking Yeovil ffs!!!!

[leefer]

Where to start?

That was horrendous. Yeovil were really average but caused us problems for long periods of the game. We were garbage bar a 15 minute spell in the middle of the first half.

Defensively we look so shaky. The defending for the goal was embarrassing and none of the back four can be pleased with their work today. Smith made a couple of good saves and was unlucky with the goal but didn't deserve the special treatment from the fans, and his distribution was poor again.

The midfield was pretty non-existant, especially JPM and Prutton. Austin appears to be somewhere else up top and done pretty much nothing.

Dougie was our man of the match, but only because he was the only one in a red shirt doing anything right come the final whistle as the other two, Doss and Ritchie, had been taken off. They were far from good, but DWs subs were truley baffling. Doss looked lively first half and couldn't have done much more but then gets dragged off 5 mins into the second half? What message does that send to him. And Ritchie for Timlin is just fucking stupid.

All over the park we shit. From 12 to 32, just Dougie, Doss and Ritchie were slightly less shit.

Didn't see the sending off, but from what I can gather Rose was a dick and only has himself to blame.

Didn't think the ref was anywhere near as bad as most of the crowd, and I wish we'd stop fucking singing "we always get shit refs" every time a decision goes against us. It started half way through the first half for an innocuous decision. It's not the ref's fault we're shit!

Yet again we've lost to a poor team. Might be a bit harsh on Yeovil but they're far from good, yet fully deserved to win.

DWs interview is the same old shit too.

I'll never slag Fitton and co off and will always be grateful for turning our club round. Any criticism of them is misplaced, but the clock is ticking very loudly on Wilson's time at this club. He has a budget that should have more than allowed him to compete for a play-off spot, but we are truley shocking at the moment and up to our necks in a relegation battle now. The pattern of DWs career is clearly repeating, and it's time to go. Before today I thought we should wait until the summer and let him go as he is out of contract, but now it's over. Get rid, offer the job to Johnson and have done with it.

Good post...not even going to start to comment on todays match...in shock to be honest...spent the morning trying to convince arriba that Caddis wasn't that bad..was i wrong
Feel a tad sorry for Wilson......the players were dire....even Charlie missed a sitter from two yards out.
Am tempted to say we missed Morrison....but i wont
JFL was my MOM for us by miles...nothing special but worked hard and kept it simple.
The sending off was a certainty....though i thought the Yeovil players knew how to get to the ref and got away with a lot...fair play to them.
Take my hat off to Yeovil.....poor team who were well organised and worked hard.
Oh and just shy of 8000........good support and let down by a very,very bad performance....a shocking performance.

Not a great deal to say that hasn't been said already by those who attended the game.  Absolute shambolic crap.  It's interesting to note that nobody can take away anything positive from today, usually there's someone who can come up with something, but not today. 

For the umpteenth time this season we're been beaten by a shite team who wanted it more than we did.  Inevitably the sending off was used in the post match interview as the turning point, but did we honestly look like we were going to win anyway?  Did we hell.

We are now fully entranched in a relegation battle and that is a fact.  I don't know how things have gone so wrong this season, but anyone who thinks Wilson is going to turn it around is totally deluded.  We are an absolute mess on the pitch and he doesn't have the slightest clue what to do about it.  I slightly lost the plot when he brough Timlin on for Ritchie and am ashamed to say my language was so obscene my dad had to tell me to tone it down in front of my 7 year old son!  I think that was the point that a large amount of people climbed over the fence and joined the Wilson out side.  The players are to blame as well and let's see some movement and ship out the crap and uninterested ones, I honestly can't see it making things any worse.

I'm pissed off and despondant.  Not sure where we go from here to be honest other than League 2 if something doesn't change quickly.

Been waiting for your balanced slant on things Leefer. Not too good then? Still it don't get any worse, Brock didn't have a game today

That's just what this league is about; generally poor - and Yeovil poorer than most but get by with good organisation and hard work.  Bournemouth are the prime example - not a great team but in 3rd place (before today) because they do what they need to.  Swindon this season are just the opposite - look a shambles most of the time despite having individuals that are better than most at this level.

Btw agree with you on JFL.  Caddis I think is very good defensively but his ball distribution is shocking and gets into far too much trouble unnecessarily.

When Leefer says it's that bad it really is that bad

To be fair we were set up all wrong,we play too deep at home....Ritchie and Douglas are picking up balls on the edge of our own box...Prutton and Caddis were shocking and i almost felt sorry for Caddis...he just didn't know what to do......Dossevi had his chance and was dire.....in fact bar JFL i can only applaud Pericard who came on and put a shift in.....including a great tackle in our own box,
Austin was poor...but he owes us nothing.

MICHAEL FUCKING TIMLIN?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Bodins left foot]

Rose is a bellend, if you're being held then fall over onto their guy. dont be a fucking twat and stamp on someone

Rose has been a cocking liability all season.
Yes he takes a mean free kick but his defending, distribution and contribution are shit.
He's always out of position, yet again today he was exposed, and on the only run forward he made he decides to stamp on a player and get sent off.

Bloody glad he's out for 3 games - twat..!

[DV]

yeah the problem is, come our next game he's also likely to be top of the assists chart and our top goal scorer!

HE'S STILL A TWAT..!

Danny Wilson has to be given more time. He's earned it. He came here when we were heading to League 2 he bought in some good players, he saved us from relegation, he then built a side that played magnificently last season which included doing the double over Leeds and Southampton, a side that got to the Play Off Final at Wembley and within 90 minutes of The Championship. He's made mistakes both in the transfer market and on the pitch, he human get over it, which manager hasn't.

Don't let the last 6 months overshadow the previous 18 months.

The players have to have a long good look at themselves, they have been pathetic this season.

Wilson in.
