That season was dire. Proof that it doesn't really matter which division you play in...if you're losing, you're miserable.
Don't think it's quite fair to compare crap seasons in Div2, with crap in Div 3. Div 3 is our natural terrain, whereas Div2 isn't. If we'd have gone up in the summer, how long before we imploded, maybe a season or two, and of course imploding at a higher level exposes you to better teams. |

3 points out of 33, that is absolutley horrifiic.
I think we have been way to slow to react this to many things, the selling of players and also Danny should have gone a long time ago.

The only reason weve still got a chance is because of Plymouths points deduction.
If we fail to win on saturday then we'll be dead and buried again.

I still think we'll survive.... No point in justifying my reasons as I think most have now resigned themselves to the drop!
Admittedly, the next two weeks could see my opinion change.

Scratch that! I just had a quick check and under Todd in the 1999-2000 seaseon we went from 25th October to 7th March winless, a run of 19 games.
That was the season when we went into admin for the first time and we sold some of our better players on the cheap. When we broke our winless run against Huddersfield, it was memorable for the Dean Gorre sending off when he totally lost the plot. |

I'm with you on this but the next 3 games will decide it. 7 points minimum required. |

Indeed. And what was it all over? A thrown in wasn't it? |

I think so, that or he thought he was fouled and we got the throw in instead. Something like that. I just remember the mental strop, followed by a yellow card, followed by an even more mental strop, followed by a second yellow. |

Saturday is the day that this season will turn around. We will win. We will find confidence. the corner will be turned.
Why? Because I'm going. And the last match I went to was Charlton away.
(Either that or the superstitious nonsense will have no effect and we'll still look hopeless come 5pm on Saturday)

In case it wasn't blindingly obvious, my post was firmly tongue-in-cheek. |

As long as we're still in touch with safety then I won't write Swindon off.

We still have an outside chance looking at the table and our upcoming games so I would normally be of the view that it's never over til its over. However, one definition of madness is doing the same thing time after time and expecting a different outcome and by this yard stick for me DW has gone completely bonkers.
Who is / was going to score our goals in this remarkable turn around that DW predicted in the press and programme? With current striker injuries and given that those left have failed could we have qualified for an emergency loan or signed someone out of contract? Why have the board backed DW for so long? As of the Carlisle defeat I would have taken any change (however mad - Gazza for manager) other than just hoping those who have got us in this position would suddenly come good.
I hope we beat Walsall, D&R and Plymuff but IMO even if we do the Board sticking with DW and DW / the board sticking with a number of the squad was a case of the heart ruling the head and a bad business decision.
