I think its all over.....

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

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?

Yeh. I can't believe we didn't get somebody like Grella from Leeds in.

Fair play, but reality suggests something has gone spectacularly wrong..no idea what mind, and if there is any chance of remedial action.

By way of illustration, on Jan 11th we were 5 points off the PO and 5 points off the drop line. Wilson was regretting a poor showing at Oldham, who were themselves on a poor trot. Our winless run then was  1game.  Wilson still firmly believed at that point we were competitive in this league, how wrong he was..

"Norwegian defender Erik Pedersen was at the fulcrum of the United side that ransacked the league during that undefeated run in 1997. He was also part of the team that was so disappointing the following season. According to Pedersen it wasn’t a physical issue that caused the capitulation, it was all in the players’ heads. “I sometimes think it was because the players were so happy and they thought ‘this season we don’t have to work so hard and things will go well.’ The problem is they didn’t put in the same effort as they did before,” he said."

Pedersen believes that the problem for sides who finish third isn’t the burden of increased expectations or the toll of European football, but complacency. “They relax and end up struggling. The players don’t go on holiday, but they’re not far away from it,” he said.

The situation is dire and I completely understand why people believe it's all over, it could very well be. It really doesn't look good. I consider the Leyton Orient loss as the point when Wilson should have probably been canned.

However, I still look at it as 12 games remaining. Perhaps, it's because I'm an exile and am not watching how bad they are? I'm certainly not clutching hold to blind faith... It's mathematics for me and I won't condem Swindon until it's at least ridiculously bleak. Which if we're honest isn't the case, yet.

We are shit but we are one of seven shit teams... Hopefully Colchester, Exeter and Brighton can do us favours this evening.

On a brighter side at least the reserves won today away at a reasonably strong Baadiff team

And Southampton!

And Southampton!

...Yeah and them.

[Simon Pieman]

Even if we win the next 3 games we have some tough ones against top teams after. Any improbable rejoicing could be short lived.

And Southampton!

Fuck 'em.

[Batch]

Fuck 'em.

Wankers.

[Gnasher]

Fuck 'em.

Scores weren't too bad until Walsall scored.

[Bob's Orange]

Isn't that Ledesma fella decent? What on earth is he doing at Walsall?

So Myrie-Williams is on trial at STFC?

"Young striker Billy Bodin sealed the win with the only goal of the game just after half-time."

Hmmm....

Norwegians are clever!
