Swindon Town v Doncaster Rovers pre match drivel and matchday thread

[Berniman]

Maybe this 1st half is just a ruse so that they can come back 2nd half with a dramatic 5 goal performance just to sell more tickets for past few games?

Put the bottle down Gazza

[Jimmy Quinn]

And what benefit would that be?

I’m guessing you don’t think the players & owner would notice then and that everything is rosey.

Have you had a stroke mate?

[Mr Stevens]

Can I raise a practical point at this stage? Are we doing Stonehenge tonight?

[Nomoreheroes]

That was awful - We are at home for goodness sakes against a team below us in the league.

We should at least be in the game!

We’ve had cheap possession in non threatening areas.

I’m not sure FBT provides anything at LWB. Nothing going forward and out of position.

I’m not sure that UGM is part of the problem or solution?

McCarthy has stopped playing.

Brewitt isn’t good enough.

Midfield in non existent. Devoy offers nothing. McEachran gets the yellow stats up.

Aguilar has had lots of touches, but is non league.

McGurk hasnt been in the game.

Drinan is another Jephcott

Glatzel runs around a lot and is trying, but doesn’t seem to have long enough on the ball.

[Mr Stevens]

I am confident that they are well aware!

[Bob1978]

You’re only as good as your weakest link - Brewitt is probably our weak link today. Also we need a manager and assistant. Maybe a chief exec too. I think Clem is squarely responsible for those hires.

[Jimmy Quinn]

I am confident that they are well aware!

Carry on sipping Pimms and enjoy then.

RHM and kokolo coming on. for mcgurk and McEachran

[Peter Venkman]

RHM and kokolo coming on?

Be for Brewitt and Glatzel/McGurk probably then.

Well, who would think that having a lack of talent and experience at every level of a football club would lead to this?

I'm not laying the blame on the players, but there really isn't more than one or two who are decent enough.  There are some decent players when we have time and space, but their ability under any sort of pressure is what counts, and it's lacking.  That is not a surprise - they are either fresh from Academy football or have shocking injury records that mean they haven't developed as they should have.  You can recruit a team full of those players and expect more.

You can't stick an inexperienced man in charge of that squad, without any real coaching support, and expect a team to turn up that looks like it has any sort of coherent plan.  Right now it looks exactly like it is -  an uncoached team sent out to just get numbers forward and hope for the best.

It all comes from the top though.  The result may not be the plan, but the result is because of the plan, which seems to be some degree of hoping for the best, at best.  At worst,, we can only speculate, but it is worryingly heading towards the clubs performance being the result of people in positions of influence worrying about their own goals, with no real desire for those to align with a football clubs performance on the pitch.

Colchester 1-1

[Peter Venkman]

RHM and kokolo coming on. for mcgurk and McEachran

Oh got that wrong, McGurk did well when they gave him the fucking ball. McEachran wasnt even our worst midfielder.

[theakston2k]

1-2
