Swindon V Orient Official Matchday Thread.

HOOOOOF

[brocklesby red]

watched the game on the live stream so was'nt the best quality,but DeVita needs to grow some balls and get a challenge in,Devera then just as crap when the ball came in. Richie was greedy and took on one player too much too often and the midfield was shite until Ferry came on .Got the day off too go to the Carlisle game so hoping for better things next weekend

Sound like I picked the right game to miss. :-(

[LittleRed]

First game I missed at home in nearly 12 months as we loose. Don't worry I'm back next home game. Let's see what DiCanio can do. He needs to work his magic.

[Arriba]

Thought we'd win well and disapointed we didn't. We will learn if Di canio is any good or not now it's not all going to plan. 3 losses on the bounce and plenty of recent talking points aint great. Will be interesting to see what happens

[Langers]

We were shit. Orient did a job on is and looked the more threatening all day. The better team won.

Defence were poor, midfield non existent and we created very little.

The ref got a lot of absue, but he wasn't that bad, definatley not the reason for our defeat.

Oh well, on the upside I managed to get the 10 past five 5 train for once.

We were absolutely terrible today from front to back. The earlier post about playing with fear is spot on - we know these players are good enough but they were a shadow of what they are capable of today. Mispaced passes, poor control, full backs who can't overlap or cross, a complete lack of movement from the midfield.

7 pretty awful days for the club, cued by Di Canio’s outburst last week. He acted like a fool today as well. Managers up and down the country lost today but I bet he was the only one to come onto the pitch twice to remonstrate with the ref. He was completely unprofessional and any competent ref would have sent him to the stands. I wonder who he is blaming on the radio now?

Watched the game on the internet......bloody hell, they were shocking and deserved to get beaten by more.

That was the poorest performance that I've witnessed at the CG since the 2010/11 season.  The only positives I can take from today's game is that it's early days, we know we're better than that and it might be a wake up call that League 1 is going to be alot tougher than some perhaps thought?

I agree with Adje's point about the team having an air of nervousness around them and also the number of players that have been brought in.  At the moment I'm struggling a bit to see what some of them are offering that we didn't have in the team already or dare I say it, got rid of?

It's been a bad week.  I'm starting to think it might have been better if we'd lost at Stoke, as it seems to have been downhill ever since.

You could see why Orient were bottom of the League, they couldn't have finished a small cake. If they could have put away some of the golden chances we gifted them we should have lost that by 3. Crap. (And no I didn't boo, but I didn't join in the equally unmerited clapping at the end either)

[Dr Pierre Chang]

We desperately need to replace Caddis with someone who can attack, big part of our game has gone with his departure. Can't keep playing a centre half out of position as Devera has his limits.

Very poor all round, wouldn't worry too much as it's early days and it is now for Di Canio to find our best 11 out of a big squad.

Williams and Collins were dire as was the Devera/Flint partnership on the right. No creativity and it would have been good to see Bostock get a run out as he is the only one of our central midfielders with that extra attacking quality that can get a goal from nowhere. Looking forward to Roberts returning on the left, we will have a real threat on both wings then and that is the main part of our game.

Oh and herthab OUT!!

Can I have my job back please?

[stfcinbmth]

On the plus side, the biggest gate of the day

I wonder who he is blaming on the radio now?

He was pretty restrained on the radio, sounded a bit shell-shocked. Just said some of the players are saying they're training too hard and saying they need a day off, but for him when you play badly the answer is to work harder not take time off. Which I think has been pretty well advertised as being his philosophy so they can't really complain (to anyone apart from their own agents maybe)
