Swindon Town -vs- yeovil Town Matchday thread

[ronnie21]

Doesn't help when the supporters have given up on them before they've even kicked off. Shit support and atmosphere yet again.

Atmosphere is something that needs to be built up before the match, the crap music played does not help the pre-match "entertainment??" - best part was when one of the Robinettes slipped over!!  And what the hell was that retro thing in front of the Arkells at half-time, poor, bloody poor!  Unfortunately it often takes a controversial incident to stir our support, this time it sent us to sleep.  Think we accepted our fate the moment Rose saw red, and noses were definitely on the floor once they scored.

What a load of shit.

I can understand the substitution of Ritchie off Timlin on, but if Wilson is going to go for three CM and get rid of the width at least let it be Ferry and not Timlin. I thought that at 1-0 down bringing O'brien on for the shit Prutton might have been the way to go...obviously stopping more goals is more of an issue than needing to score.

Pericard should have come on for Austin - he was about as useful as a toddler.

Lex was my MOTM, after so long out of the team to come in and play like he did was brilliant. Some of his tackles were spot on, he's able to keep up with attackers chasing down a ball, and he was cool on the ball when playing it out of defense - just a pity most of those passes were either too hard or went to no-one. For teh goal i thought when the first ball came over teh top their player might have been leaning into Cuthbert, oh well.

cuthbert was effectively being raped, but the ref's done well to ignore that

This shitness is doubtless sparked by players seeking moves, contract wrangles etc.....makes it a difficult job....it will still be a difficult job if someone else takes it on...at least Wilson knows whats going on and has the experience to sort it out.

Those things are always going on but a bad run of form makes them an issue and multiplies the problem. Suddenly players are pissed for not being picked, not earning as much as others, not being offered a new contract and so on. A change of manager sometimes means a clean start and can turn things round very quickly especially if the players have lost confidence with the current manager.

Just so frustrated more than anything else after today. They've shown they can do it against wednesday and charlton, then to play like we did in the last two matches...makes no sense to me.

Not sure binning Wilson now will make any difference to this season, but fuck me its never smooth sailing for long being a Swindon fan.

Yes Reg, because such things only go on when things are bad on the pitch, no player has ever spat his dummy out or wrangled for a new contract/transfer when a team is winning in the history of football.

More likely they're not being picked for being pissed. I assume you meant "pissed off" - unless you're actually American, sort it out.

yeah

Near on all 8000 of us, for a basement clash

The supporters are quiet because we are fed up of the shit we are being delivered week in week out and yet we still turn up.

Some people really need to get a grip

Possibly opening myself up to a "whoosh" here but Rooney and Tevez?

This is why I hate written sarcasm... you just don't get the intonation.  I'll get my coat.

On a sort of positive note-our goal difference could be worth an extra point come May(as long as we dont start getting hammered of course).

I think a lot of Town fans started getting hammered after the game and will probably continue to do so until the season ends.

I see Jonny's still got some serious man love for LJF.
