I would take him next season if available better than Jephcott😀
Not entirely certain as the angle from the Town End isnt great but I am not sure Jephcott even touched the ball after he came on, on Saturday. We need to return him as soon as we are able too as he just doesn't fit this system. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Make a decision on the players that are constantly out on loan eg Roberts,Dabre,Parsons, Cowmeadow and Massey. Should know by now if they are worth keeping.
Don't think the manager and the players will be giving up on the play offs yet. At least not publicly

Jephcott plays in a different position, but is about an adequate replacement to McKirdy as Benyon was. Jephcott from Plymouth to Torquay seems like a logical step. |

Where did this Torquay rumour come from? |

Jephcott will be the next Revell.
He’ll end up somewhere like Newport and score against us every time he played against us.

Not "come from" anywhere, can just see it as a logical step in his career as he's not good enough for L2. |

A player with a 1 in 4 goal ratio in league 1 and 2 will not struggle to get clubs in the football league. There is a player in Jephcott, just not in our system. |

Remember Michael Smith had his doubters but he's done ok. |

Literally years of your stomach turning when seeing his name in an opposition team sheet and KNOWING he'd score. |

Donkey for us. Mad to think Wilson signed him in favour of playing Billy Paynter - who went on to hit 29 goals that season… |

I don't know about anyone else but as far as STFC goes I just want to wake up and it be preseason and feel that blind sense of excitement and optimism again. I can't face two whole months of zombie football.
Many have said this, and I know the club won't do or say anything until it is mathematically impossible to reach the playoffs, but there has to be a rapid and meaningful official statement of intent for next year/mea culpa for this season at that point. As it stands we will probably get news of what our coaches are getting up to in Karachi or an announcement of the official sponsor of the Town End puddle.

Have any other football clubs ever openly come out & attribute blame for the seasons failings?
Firstly, it doesn’t matter what the club says. People have already made their minds up where the blame lays
Secondly, surely it’s a bit unprofessional to start dissecting the season publicly and naming names.
If - the clubs internal decision is that Sandro has failed to meet his KPIs and he is indeed relieved of his duties - all the club will issue is a short statement about how he’s moving on, the club thank him for all his hard work and wish him well in his future endeavours.
…this need for blood from the fans is getting borderline obsessive now.
