Swindon v Hartlepool matchday thread

[Coca Fola]

I agree with most of that, I don't agree he's better overall because whilst he was flawless today in my opinion he has his Jerel Ifil moments thoughout a season. Cuthbert went a whole season last year and was superb throughout. So we'll have to disagree.

LJF is more of a footballer.

[Panda Paws]

But less of a defender.

I was in the sponsor's lounge today and went on the tour.  In the dressing room, each player had a list of "Stop doing", "Keep doing" and "Start Doing" on their cubicles.  The only one I had a chance to read properly was Scott Cuthbert's and it was all about improving his lack of confidence, not being so hard on himself etc.  They had a self appraisal list and he ranked himself 3 out of 10 for confidence.  This might well explain why a few dodgy games have affected him more than they ought to given his ability.

The top "Start Doing" on Pericard's was "Act more like a senior pro".  Hmmmm......

Remember its all silly rumour. Just amusing to repost them now the season is done..

Can't see the Pericard one being true - the medical staff would know the truth if he was faking!!

Also forgot one.Ferry has handed in two transfer requests and Sheehan wanted out regardless of which league we are in. These actually seem more likely given how both have been treated.

Sheehan is only on a one year deal anyway - what the fuck has happened to Rose and Ferry not getting even a regular bench warming job at the moment.

Ferry and Rose were on the bench today.

Ferry has really suffered this season from being frozen out the team. Two managers have suffered from such pruttonitis.

[THE FLASH]

Well that was as predicted....a waste of time draw.

The comedy goal and the 10 or so loose balls that never fell to us sums up our season.

Ritchie was ace as was JFL. Apart from that not much positive to report.

Nice goal we scored.....nice to see a fucking strike after attending hudds, plymouth and exeter.

Its all over now......it has been for me for ages but even the die hard 'we can still do it' brigade have to face the cold harsh reality of the shit sandwich we now have to eat.

A great big clear out needs to start now...right now...drop the useless cunts and play Bodin, Thompson the Samsung kid....give em a run out.

Glad to see Cuthbert get dropped today.....pity he didn't run up to the townend at fulltime and have another rant.

Manager:  please not Hart....pleased that we have been harder to beat but I wanted us to go shit or bust.....We haven't...played deep and never ever look like scoring. We need somebody experienced in lower league battles and fucking quick Mr Fitton, not in fucking October or November....In June so the bloke can ship these wankers out and get somebody who can save,pass, shoot, head and tackle.

I won't be at Brentford but I expect the same old.

MK Dongs could be an historical day!!!

Even with a team of complete and utter shite where competition to stand out as shit is really tough, Rose still stands out as fucking shit. How the fuck he ever made it as a professional footballer is beyond me. Ferry seems to have a touch of the Sheehan's about him, sign a contract and then put on a bit of timber and be hopelessly out of condition. this also says a lot about our management and fitness consultant.

I get the impression he just dicks about and finds a comfort zone all too easily. To be fair to the fitness consultant, you can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink. May be that the fitness bloke is telling him all the right things, but Ferry ain't doing it. The fitness bloke can't make him, and ultimately nor can the manager. All he can do is drop him if he isn't fit. Maybe that's why he isn't playing, cos he can't be arsed to put the work in required to get himself up to a standard. I'm speculating, obviously

[chalkies_shorts]

Slightly off on a tangent but I thought the fans were superb today. Its just a shitter that the team are unworthy of the support. I think it could be fun when mathematically we're down and we've still got a couple of games

Start: calling your agent!

Keep: your shirts....not even daucher wants em.

flash you need to get over Cuthbert and his rant about the support, or lack of it

[chalkies_shorts]

Or alternatively we all need to get like THE FLASH and hunt these fuckers out of Swindon never to return.

Listened to Hart's post match interview. Seemed bemused we didn't win, ergo he's a clueless prick

[joteddyred]

Probably not an ideal time to post, having been on the drink and feeling emotional, but hey ho.

When you can't beat a team at home down to 10 men for the best part of 40 minutes, there's not a lot else to say really.  We are so crap it's pathetic.  Paul Hart is an absolute waste of space, we might as well have been managerless today.  At times the supporters seemed to be telling him what to do and 10 minutes later he'd do it, like an afterthought. Fucking grade a clueless tosspot who can do one now as far away from here as possible as far as I'm concerned.  Me and my 7 year old would have done a better job in the dugout today.  1-0 down at home to 10 men, let's go 3 up front?  Not fucking difficult is it?

Why am I probably going to renew my season ticket tomorrow.  Along with nearly 3,000 others, I'm clearly a complete and utter fool (apologies to those I'm tarnishing with the same brush as myself). We all know we're down, so Fitton and Co need to be extremely grateful that there's so many loyal supporters out there and need to take a long hard think about their next move.  Appoint Hart and I'll be the first one (along with many others no doubt) banging on their door demanding a refund.  IMO we need a fresh young manager who's played the game at the highest level who'll put the energy and excitement back into the club (and I don't mean Trollope).  We're sick of clueless past it managers who don't know how to mix it up. The players commanding good wages and doing fuck all every week need to be shown the door and replaced with players who give a shit. I'd keep Caddis, Ritchie, LJF, Cuthbert, possibly Douglas and now I'm struggling, which says it all really.

I think we as supporters have been remarkably tolerant of the shite and disappointment we've had to put up this season, but if next season is anywhere near a repeat of this one, it will be a different story.

Oh and get rid of the female physio as well, it's all gone wrong since she's been here (and I'm not being sexist, I'm female!)
