Swindon V Orient Official Matchday Thread.

[Gnasher]

I've just seen that Oxford lost and Cuntstable got sent off, so that's cheered me up a little.

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

Kick the fuckin wanker

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

Could you ask him to do his little fucking arm dance he kept doing that apparently meant hurry up and then do nothing about it when its ignored.  Also ask him why you allow a trainer on if a player has some mud in his eye?  Call me mad but unless the twat is blinded he can walk off the pitch and be seen to.  

We were shit, the loss had nothing to do with him, but he really was a clueless cock juggling thundercunt.

Poor game, poor performance, Orient seemed to want it more than us. It was like going back to 2 seasons ago...there was no spark, no creativity and I don't think we'd have scored all night!

Hope this week 'off' helps ahead of the long trip to Carlisle. I do believe we are missing a RB, no offence to Devera but I don't rate him there.

Onwards to next Saturday...

Adam Rooney "I think I could have scored but I didn't".

He must be saving the goals for another game!

[timmyg]

Just booed him as he was gettin into his ride (a yellow Seat Ibiza) and he shouted 'good!' back! The little dick. His mate was wearing thick-rimmed glasses with no lenses in.

[Saxondale]

Personally I would have said knob back to you.

[Dirk Diggler]

We were dire today, but let's put some things into perspective. Unbeaten at home for over a year and only 1 goal conceded in 18 matches, however, some twats in the arkells enclosure, behind the dugouts, would have you believe that we are relegation candidates!

Devara was appalling and it will continue to be a problem position until we get somebody on loan. This was not helped by flint. How he got mom is beyond me. Nobody but Ritchie, and as a cameo, Benson came out of the game with any credit.

Bad day at the office. Let's move on. Next!

Who-Rooney or the ref?

[walcot red]

They were shit, we were shit and the ref was shit. The amount of time it took to make that substituion was laughable. Ferry should've started, I think we miss Caddis or a decent RB, I hate hoofball with a passion.

I think we started the 2nd half well, but we just faded into the background, sat back and invited them onto us, we looked devoid of ideas, no-one really looked like they wanted the ball and we didn't win many 2nd balls.

The ref was the worst I think I have ever seen he looked like a sunday league ref I could go on and on about the ref. As for the boo's I think they (hope) they were directed at the special needs referee.

Basically it was a shit day at the office, no need to press the panic button.

[Chippy Red]

Awful game and it showed where certain players are not up to playing the positions they were playing today.  Devera was awful.  Ok Caddis has gone, but what he gave us was a natural right footer on the right as we play inverted wingers.  De Vita works hard but is never a winger.  Even thou hes improved.  We lack pace out wide and the ability to get behind teams.  I admit i hate inverted wingers, i want to see a winger beat his man and get the ball in with the defence turned.  This for me would give our strikers much more chance.

Today was on a par with when we went down.  Lacking ideas, and with players looking scared on the ball.  A lack of desire to want to do something.  I would have put Williams on the wing in the 2nd half and taken De Vita off.  It may have got Orient turned and us in behind and able to get balls into the box.  As it was we never got in behind them.  And when we get anywhere near our wide player come back out onto thier better foot to try to get the ball in giving the defence more time to organise.

[Honkytonk]

Cunting awful. I haven't seen Swindon play that shit for ages. All our good work over the past year was forgotten. There was perhaps a two minute spell where we played the game that we'd done so well with over the past year.

All our crosses were awry, Ritchie was selfish (although understandably so), Devera has never been Caddis, Miller and Navarro are not working as a midfield pairing. Collins and Williams were absent.

Ref was shite too.

Really properly disappointed from the last week. What a microcosm of being a Town fan this has been. Elation followed up by shattering frustration and anguish.

Nevertheless, we've only lost a few matches early on in the season. We'll recover from this. I just hope Di Canio learns some lessons from the past week and we move on for the better.

Thought DeVita was one of the few to emerge with any credit

[Chippy Red]

I wont knock De Vita's effort as a rule and he backs up his full back better than say a luke rooney.  But for me wingers are there to get crosses in.  He is a striker playing wide for me.  He isnt that quick and for him hes playing on the wrong side.  He got one cross over with his left in 2nd half with no real quality and when he cuts back onto his right foot his crosses are as a rule poor.  Hes playing out of position for me.  Last season the league was worse so you can get away with it.  I dont think you can when you move up.

When we had Danny Ward he was naturally left footed and had pace.  So he played the position easier as it was more natural to his assets as a player.  De Vita is a square peg in a round hole and always has been playing wide.  Just like Devera playing right back.  He will win his headers and tackles but going forward hes a centre half and shows it.  No forward quality whatso ever.

[sonicyouth]

a couple of weeks ago Devera was the answer and a more than capable replacement for Caddis and now he's entirely useless.

not having seen any games this season, which is it? or is it just somewhere in between and he's had a poor game today?
