Hate to say it but this could be the beginning of the end! Kennedy sounds a decent guy, says all the right things but was he really just a cheap option who no other club were interested in.

I know it's only 3 games in but the whole make up of this squad & the way they're being played just doesn't look anywhere near good enough. Unless something drastically changes we're going to be fighting to stay in the league this year.
And what I've seen so far we'll be losing that fight.

Hard to see a loved one in such a state. Hoping it's a case of a whole new squad taking time to gel but this heavy a defeat is not a good sign. I always try to remember that when we broke the points record in this division we amassed 5 points from our first 8 games.
Exactly this as I mentioned in another thread. FWIW its hard to gauge a team from even the first 6 games of a season.
Look at last season, we looked excellent in the first 9 games of the season last year and only had 2 defeats in the first 13 but went on to finish in our lowest ever league position.
Conversely under Macari we lost the first 2 games and only had 2 wins in the first 8 games, losing 5 of them and then pissed the league with 102 points.
Under Di Canio we only had 1 win and 4 defeats in the first 5 games and again walked the league with 93 points.
Under Wellens we only won 2 of our first 5 games and won the title.
I won't be knee jerking if we get beat or getting overly excited if we win tonight as it takes a month at least before you get a feel of how good a team you actually are.
It never felt this shit back then for those seasons though. |

We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

What will come first? Administration or relegation?

Can I be the first to say that tje evidence is increasingly suggesting Russell is a crock of shit at this DoF lark? He may know how work in an Academy, but we've been throwing cheap spaghetti at a wall with none of it sticking. Granted, the structure he is working within is also a shit show, but he keeps telling everyone there is a plan. The output of that plan is the ultimate determination of his performance and its awful.

Not sure when I have ever seen us concede 4 at home in the league. Sat next to the Duke of Banbury which was nice but he left at around 65 mins. Few positives so far. We could be in real trouble. Also how is Cain a pro footballer?

I already said it. Terrible. Jamie Russell signs bad players.
