Swindon Town -vs- yeovil Town Matchday thread

[Panda Paws]

How anyone can suggest LJF deserves any credit for today is beyond me. Just watch the fucking goal! It's irrelevant him doing alright for most of the game if he just gifts an absolute sitter, which is standard for him.

There's a reason he was fourth choice CB before this week.

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.

Been banging on about this for years myself, Ronnie.

Our pre-match music is shit, the announcer is shit, the robinettes are shit. The whole pre-match thang is a pile of small-town, no class no style, shit.

The whole 442 / Adidas / Samsung / EA sponsorship deal reeks of pure class. The advertising, the merchandise, the team bus etc is all very impressive and is very professional - probably worthy of gracing at least one or two current Premier League clubs to be honest.

As soon as you get in the ground though, you're greeted by yet another pikey-on-the-mikey trying to warm up the crowd by getting each stand to embarrasingly repeat 'YOU REDS' after he bellows it out over the PA system.

And shit music. And 'dancing' kids, seemingly devoid of any real talent.

Not blaming this on our inability to play decent, competitive football, but the tone of the match day atmos is to an extent, defined by what goes on in the 15 or 20 minutes before the teams run out.

Our atmos is shit. Someone at the club should sort it out. It might make a fucking difference.

Oh, and we were shit today

[Simon Pieman]

Not going to single out certain players for being bad. Shit team performance again. Something's got to give.

It was shocking defending. However Cuthbert needs to look at himself too for watching his man race in unchallenged to stick in the rebound.

[Benzel]

Smith, Cuthbert and LJF have to take the blame for the goal. They all played statues, although in fairness to Smith he did well to save the first shot, but as soon as it was up on the bar they all froze.

Fucking diabolical yesterday, I haven't been that angry in a while, I've definitely not woken up still angry about a game for a long time. Fucking fuming. Something has gotta change now.

[Spencer_White]

I thought we did OK for 25 minutes in the first half.

The rest of it, utter rubbish. No team spirit, no determination. We are hopeless attacking the Stratton Bank end.

Some players obviously are not happy. Theres something gone wrong in the dressing room, theres no team spirit. That great 100% performance at Charlton was obviously for the benefit of the Sky camera's. Unless it turns round next week it will probably be Wilson that has to carry the can. But if the dressing room is split then it might take more than that.

[Spencer_White]

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

I think the supporters were extremely nervous yesterday. No it doesnt help the players. But after the Charlton game, everyone's hoping they are going to click into gear.

I said all week that this was the crucial game. We are in a relegation scrap now. We might have to wait until the end of the transfer window to see who is ready to start scrapping.

[LucienSanchez]

In my opinion, Rose's impending suspension appears to be the only positive from yesterday... he's fucking clueless.

[THE FLASH]

Doing the usual and posting  before scrolling back through.

I could'nt face logging on last night....i was too fucking depressed..

What a complete sack of shit that was.  Like Oldham, Yeovil were shite and we were worse.

One of the very worst i have seen at Swindon in many a year.

Only Smith came out with any credit at all and his kicking was shit at times.

Did a Wenger and did not see the incident that Rose walked for but if it was for a stamp then hes got to go....will check the highlights (if its shown). After the shocking displays recently, he will not be missed!

Apart from a free can of Coke Zero at the back of the TE and meeting the lads for a beer the day was a waste.

Even Dave looking through his Prutton talent specs couldnt rate that useless prick on that display. However, it would be unfair to just name him.

We were gutless, clueless and for the second game on the trot lacking in any will to win at all.

Heard the Wilson Interview as i hit the outskirts of Calne....same old...

"People have an opinion on the display"......No Danny it was SHIT...not an opinion...a FACT.

Mr Fitton saved this club and it looks as if he still has to fight off Diamond Mike but this IS a crisis and if we are not careful we will be dropping back into that pit of shit divvy 2.

Wilson Out!?  I dunno about that but there were a few pissed off people in the TE yesterday calling for his head...not me....BUT....they pay their money and should be able to say what they think....He s living off last year and he could be in trouble soon.

Not going to Rovers, thanks fuck....but the next three games look key for us.

[Simon Pieman]

Having seen it a few times Rose trod on the player because he was holding on to him. Stupid from Rose but the ref should have blown up for the foul and booked the Yeovil player for initially taking Rose out on purpose with a high leg and then clearly grabbing him and hanging on to him. If you look the ref didn't even acknowledge there was any foul in the first place, by the fact no advantage was played.

[Nemo]

Absolutely Si, that was my view at the time: Rose should have gone for what he did, but the Yeovil player should have been booked and the free kick should have been ours as it was the first offense. Of course, if the referee had been in proper control of the game he'd have blown up immediately and Rose wouldn't have got to the point of stamping.

[Saxondale]

That was my impression as well.  An impression that was confirmed by the pictures last night.  The referee could have stopped it if he was on top of things but Rose is still a fucking tool.  How many sendings off have we had this seasons.  Far too many I suspect.

[Processed Beats]

How many sendings off have we had this seasons.  Far too many I suspect.

5 i think. Prutton twice (vs Plymouth and Franchise), Sheehan against Orient, Douglas against Crawley and now Rose. Bad discipline, but still not as bad as Plymouth's, who have had 9 already this season.

Jon Douglas alluded to this a while back.....

[Spencer_White]

and Cuthbert.

And I should think if we have to chose another captain this season, then he will say exactly the same thing.
