Swindon Town V Salford City Official Matchday Thread

Agreed. I just get a bit peeved at those who refuse to see any positives at all. I mean "so and so is shit" after a poor 45 minutes or " the wrong person scored",that sort of shit

We were 17th in Div 4 - very few of our players are likely to be described as much more than shit to be honest.  I thought McEachran showed Devoy how to play the 10 role for his goal.  He's not a great player by any stretch, but Devoy wasted so much in comparison and stands and watches when defending.  We are better than we were a few weeks ago, but we are still not good enough.

We could and should have beat them, we turned it on and it was a matter of when we scored. Just didn't have belief,  fannyed about too much and drew against a shit side. Well done town.

To be honest, I don't disagree with the sentiments that Devoy and McEachran were poor in the first half. We really had no midfield. The second half was different (until after we scored).

It was an exciting game, but I would have hoped that we would have done a bit better against a struggling team like Salford.

It's better on the pitch since Flynn left in my opinion.That's it. Off the pitch,the problems remain. Never argued with that point

[Peter Venkman]

As for this recent window and the signings we made, I think there's an element of "don't go down this year, have a proper go next year once teams like Wrexham and Stockport are out of the division."

Wrexham beaten at home by Bradford today.

Never argued that we're good enough to go up and the fact that you say McEachran "showed Devoy how to play" proves my point. Many people have described McEachran as shit this season but when people allude to the fact that the wrong person scored that's the height of negativity to me. Rightly or wrongly

We have gone from fighting against relegation performances to mid table obscurity. This team and/or crop of players no where near challenges the top 7

I agree and have never said different

We just have to stay above the Ken Beamish line for history’s sake😁

Fantastic, that's cheered me up

I still think they'll go up.

Either way, it looks like the plan is to write this season off, avoid relegation and have a proper go next year.

Forest Green lost, so that's a point nearer safety.

I still don't get why the manager had to change mid-season. I'm pretty sure Flynn would have also managed 1win, 1 draw and 1 defeat with the new signing - probably more.
