Swindon V Orient Official Matchday Thread.

[Gnasher]

POP! The bubble has burst. We played like a team devoid of any confidence. Pretty much the same team that outplayed Franchise and Stoke played like 11 strangers. Both full backs were fucking crap. Like others have said we're really missing Caddis. The Argie looked quite handy against Oxford but he was absolutely crap today.

How many shots have we had on target in the last 3 games? 3 or 4? We wouldn't have scored today if we played all night.

The ref was fucking useless. He did nothing to stop the time wasting and fell for every fake injury and dive. What a prick.

I thought we played well.

Promotion on the cards.

Orient were unlucky to lose against us. Well done to them today.   

Who's ZebeDiCanio going to publicly humiliate after this one?

Dog shit from front to back but good news is a whole week to prepare for two pretty hard games coming up. We have players to come back and players who will improve so it's looking ok for me.

We need a right back without a doubt and as much as I like Devera at centre back he's not a right back whatsoever. The front two need decent service from the wings which isn't happening as we are too deep due to the full backs hanging back.

Miller and Navarro are the same player, they hang back together and go forward together. I think Coke will be a cracking player for us and should replace one of those when fit and Ferry should start with no doubt at the moment.

It's been a shit week for results but it's been a decent month so far, 4 points from the next away games would be great and put us in a good position, YES WE CAN!

Nobody today.

Now run along, and go and touch your kid.

That brought back memories of the Hart days - just like last time we played Orient at the CG or Yeovil or Notts Co or a number of others that year - please let's not go back to that place.
No spark whatsoever - as a number of posters have said they looked nervous and di Canio said so too in his post-match interview.
I would have liked Bostock to have come on to try something different as nothing was being created.
I do worry a bit about the strikers - Collins didn't seem to be sharp enough and Williams is quick and gets in the right positions but has a poor first touch and often loses the ball (that's been the same in all 3 home league games).
Devera is no right back - he's a good defender but not much threat going forward and wanders off into the centre too much - the Orient LB and LW had far too much space most of the time.
I thought Bessone looked a good acquisition - he put in a few wild crosses late in the game but overall looked solid & skillful.
And enough said about the woeful gift of a goal - why can a professional defender not take responsibility for ensuring that a weak cross is cleared?

Not that I really want to chuck good money after bad after watching
That pile of wank, but how much are tickets for the Burnley game?
The kids can't wait to go again...

[tans]

Ah, bless.

The ref from today is sat on the table next to me in the Merlin.

Normally I try to take some positives from a game but today there were none.  Adam Rooney looked ok when he had the ball but to be honest that was rare as the ball was just hoofed about.

Our midfield didn't even turn up today & I didn't think much of Bessone today either

Smack him and tell him to sit on the chair.

Poor game...well done to Orient today....there tactics were spot on.
Think Williams was poor and needs a goal......how many games is he going to get...Connell was lucky to get a run of two games without scoring before the drop....that said the whole team looked poor and we are deffo missing a ball winner in midfield......that said i was totally appalled and pissed off at some of the mongs today dishing out abuse to Rooney....totally unacceptable and it was very hard not to tell them to shut the fuck up.
Got a week off now and personally reckon the break is needed....to be honest the players looked jaded today for some reason.
First home defeat for a long time and i for one will give the team my support...unlike some of the cretins i had the misfortune to spend 90 mins with today.
