Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

Get the feeling Morris’ oft repeated comments re experienced players is direct st the STFC purse strings for next season.

undoubtedly a message to those upstairs. Not that unusual for managers to do that, but it's every interview.

worrying

[Outletred]

They will say we can’t afford experience due to poor ST sales blah blah blah

Those at the top need to look in the mirror this season has been a shambles. If they don’t have the money to invest in the playing side then find someone who can

League one, Cheltenham, Exeter,  Fleetwood, Shrewsbury all comfortably stayed up on small attendances love to know how they do it.

Yeah, but have they partnered with Karachi FC?

BECAUSE ATTENDANCES DO NOT = INCOME OR BUDGET.

More intrigued to know what financial backing they have compared to what Clem can offer.

Along the lines of “the nobber deserves that” straight after Crewe took the lead. Then deleted it.

Sad to say but The Return of the King has been something of a damp squib, and she’s clearly an absolute nightmare. A fond farewell on the pitch after Crawley please.

My guess is he starts against Crawley then gets his farewell applause early in the second half.

When we sub on Kadji to make sure we go from 1-0 up to 3-1 down.

Kadji must just make my all time shit XI. He’s Jeremy Balmy bad. Worse than Anton Rogers. Makes Bobby Howe look like prime Iniesta.

Cue the mass exodus and no lap of honour at full time🤣

[Riddick]

Certainly doesn't seem like Austin and Morris have a great relationship. As Austin is very much Clems man, and i was told Austin was staying next season its going to be interesting to see where we go from here. He doesn't seem to be a player Morris wants.

I was told today that one of those club’s budgets is so small, that next season, the plan is to not have a reserve keeper, because the cost of having one is not worth the three point risk of losing a game if the keeper gets injured. They simply get an emergency loan. It is not unfair to suggest that their budget is lower or comparable to ours. We have just used ours appallingly by comparison. I don’t accept that we shouldn’t have a better budget that the club suggests with our gates.

It's certainly an eye opener if what you are saying is true about one of those clubs mentioned losing a reserve goalkeeper. It also highlights how shite we've become from top to bottom and can only finish mid table.
