Swindon Town FC v Walsall FC Official Matchday Thread

[cired45]

Having been unable to get to Coventry last week due to family bereavement, I was looking forward to watching my first game under new management, it has left me unconvinced.  I will not jump on KMacs back as he has not had the chance to really work with the players, I cant, however, forgive him the Wilsonesque arms folded, lack of enthusiasm stance that was adopted during the game today.  I was not expecting the histrionics we have got used to with he who shall remain nameless, I was, though, expecting more from the man than we saw today.  i honestly believe that the current crop of players react better to some kind of managerial motivation from the sidelines and think that they look to their leader for inspiration, this, I think, was lacking today.  The team performance was not the worst, Bury last week wins that hands down, but it was far from anything like as well as we can perform.  Walsall, to their credit, were much improved on the side we battered at the Bescot earlier in the season.  Mcceveley looked like a man who had never played local league football, let alone the professional game, where has our width gone? Simon Ferry, out of position, looked for an out, but time and time again we were lavking out wide.  I think that Williams and Collins put in every effort, but they are not a partnership and are really lacking any cutting edge.  I had hoped after his "bundled" goal last week AW would push on, he is, I think, one of the few squad players, along with Raffa, who are really missing PDC`s influence.  We a great opportunity to gain promotion and should we fail, I think it will be several years until we are in a position to challenge as strongly as we can this year.  A new dawn? too early to tell.  Although not convinced at the moment, I will still be at Griffin park on Tuesday and will continue to give KM and the team my full suppoort until the last ball is kicked at scunny, all I ask of KM is please show some passion and help the fans help the team over the finish line.

FWIW we were brilliant at Coventry with quick passes leaving them chasing shadows. Today was frustrating but lets see how it pans out.

Four points out of six with an inherited side is decent.promotion form even.

[Ardiles]

There is only one PDC, and whoever followed on from him was never going to match him for visible displays of passion or enthusiasm...or try to, for that matter.  So I wouldn't try to make the comparison.

True to say, certainly, that his media style is very different.  I've not really been wowwed by anything that KM has said, either in the press or on the radio after the game.  But people who know him seem to respect the way he goes about his business.  Four points from six is not a bad start...despite the disapointment we're all feeling at dropping two points so late on today.

I don't buy this whole 'If a manager isn't going mental on the sideline, he doesn't care' shite!

Both full backs were awful today, and I really hope that Devera replaces Flint ASAP as he's awful.

I would bring Benson back tomorrow, for that matter I would also try and bring Caddis back now the main problem with him has left the club.

I was in the club shop yesterday and asked the question about caddis coming back, he said caddis is contracted to brum til the end of the season

YOU CANNOT RECALL FULL SEASON LOANEES

[Costanza]

It's been confirmed several times over that Benson, Caddis and Cox are all with their respective loan clubs until the end of the season without a recall clause.

You use the club shop as a sauce?

Walsall deserved a draw to be fair.
Average performance with Macca the MOM.

Dropping points at home is not good with difficult away games coming up.
Still other teams dropping points. Blue Rinsers losing 5 on trot and nobody would expected that.

Brentford away then. A tough one and I would settle for a point.

[Flashheart]

It's a weird season.

I would not be surprised if we pick up 6 points from the next 2 games. Our away form is fantastic.

I feel more confident at the moment of us picking up a win on our travels.  It might work in our favour that we've got more away games left than home ones.
