Crewe Vs Swindon

[Pericardinho]

When Kennedy first came in I thought he was a breath of fresh air.

But it's quickly become apparent that just like Flynn, he'll do anything to defend this regime so long as he gets his pay cheque at the end of the month.

Would love a manager to just come out and tell the fans how it is.

Never going to happen of course. But it's just saga after saga.

Players handing in transfer requests, phantom injuries and 'failed' trials. And that's just on the football side of things.

[Batch]

Defending the club is fine and normal in my book. We'll never get the truth out a serving manager,. Just a version of.

What's worrying me about Kennedy is happening on the pitch. Players look out of position. There's no plan.

But he's played at a high level. I've played Ciren league. Hopefully I'll see why I'm wrong fairly soon.

Anyway, the only way I'm watching this game is if jet lag  gets me again. Currently -8hrs time difference

As Mourinho & Rooney have proven playing at a shit level doesn't stop you being a great manager and playing at an elite level doesn't make you a good manager.

Crewe 2 Swindon 0, att 4200 (402).

Seen nothing to suggest we are going to cause them any problems, despite how bad they appear to have been so far.

Us older fans remember the good times under Macari, Ardilles, Hoddle, McMahon & Di Cannio even if short lived.

Yeah, regardless of the manager - they aren’t going to slate the ownership: they want / need to pay cheque.

Same way we probably wouldn’t slate our employer on local radio that someone connected would hear.

…as Batch has said - the on pitch stuff has been crap & the tactics within the midfield are bizarre

[Jimmy Quinn]

Good summary.

[TailBetweenLegs]

Wouldn't suprise me though if those off the pitch are having an input on what happens on it still

Perhaps but apart from living out some weird football manager phantasy what could they possible think they can get out of interfering?

Zav still giving advice to the strikers on the training pitch?

[Bogus Dave]

Would have thought they’d open the legends lounge today, obviously not. Feels like a big own goal, and unsurprising all the same

[Wobbly Bob]

Pre match no need for self harming when following Swindon in Albert's Corner.

Wouldn't normally grace a pub with a less than 4 rating in Google, but needs must.
Anyway, dutifully sat here with trackie bottoms tucked into white socks in an effort to blend in with the natives.
Don't wish that I lived in Nantwich though and the lack of tatts and minus the brusque manner could mean some hard stares at a possible inerloper.

An uninterrupted week on the training ground should hopefully see some signs of link ups & structure developing in this team.
More importantly would expect a dramatic increase in the number of crosses today.

Longelo has got forward but then fiddled around.
King has been alarmingly passive.
Sobowale on the other hand looks to have a surging run in him but the end product may well be not very good.

I can the see the attraction of playing Ofoborh as a no 8. Decent feet for a big guy & can strike a ball well.
Need to see a lot more of Clarke & it’s borderline unfair to put a young relatively untested lad in the key position.

Will happily take a very forgettable 0-0 from this and move on.

A visit to the very excellent Crewe Dog could be the highlight of the day albeit a relatively brief one.

The well of enthusiasm is still relatively full.
Wouldn’t want it to run dry but the possibility is there.

With the way it is hooning it down a tad west of Heathrow, the possibility of anything running dry is very slim at the moment.

If it is pissing it down in Crewe, the prospect of a waterlogged pitch must be a factor?

The sun is shining & the rain has stopped.
"It's a Beautiful Day" blasting out on the jukebox.
What could possibly go wrong.

Swindon turn up & start playing?
