Swindon v Carlisle pre match chat and matchday thread

[UTR]

I wish i had that confidence. I am not sure we can ignore the previous results. We played a abdolutely injury ravaged Newport and today a team that has won 1 game all season, i think we are going to be around where we are now all season.

What worries me again is Kennedys words after the game about he knew we would be weak due to lack of height we are missing, that means he will be bringing Smith back in and back to the shite long ball we seen prior to his suspension

I don’t disagree with you, if I had to lean one way either side then we’re much more likely to go down than go up. Expanding on my last point, I think our trend still very much points towards dropping out of the football league, I just don’t think this year will be it.

You’re completely right to caveat the Newport match, I still think we win that match with both teams at full strength but not a 4-0 scoreline. In the object of fairness we need to see if the extent of that win was an anomaly or not but I think in our guts we all know the answer to that and have seen enough so far to make an informed opinion of this team.

Time for Kennedy to go.

He’s holding back this team.
It’s an awful team but still think it’s better than what Kennedy is getting out of it.

…as for who is up next, no idea….

Think we all know who’s likely up next

[DV]

Yeah fair point.

What I should have typed was

‘…as for who the fans would want up next, no idea’

[Jimmy Quinn]

I don’t even know who’s available if Kennedy was sacked.

[TailBetweenLegs]

We don't want to be a team with 30% possession and win 1 nil every week, no one will be happy with that..

He's actually said that ffs

I understand having a focus on the process alongside the results, but he genuinely seems to value his fundamentals and process above results. Fans would not give a fuck how we play if we win. Why is that so hard for him to fathom?

[DV]

I had a very quick look & the first name that drew my attention was Gus Poyet…

Wow that’s a blast from the past and would certainly generate interest from the fans.

Somebody tell me this is a wind up. Please.

DV, it's your moment!

Oh come on ffs.

Nobody is happy with where we are, but the solution isn't to sack a manager 7 games in.

Then what happens? Clem will fanny around for 6 weeks trying to appoint somebody on peanuts and Gunning will be interim. He may even get the gig full time. Is this what we want?

Can we just wait and see where we are after 12-13 games? if it's still grim and by then and no signs of improvement then this can become a topic of conversation. You may end up being completely right but can we at least give him a fair crack?

[Cowley38]

Is that a serious answer to my question? Sheesh. He may well be a shit manager but Mex's summary of the game was accurate. Did you watch it?

I was there!

Wasn't going to score if we played all night

Shit defending again

We were shit

Your deluded

[DV]

DV, it's your moment!

Wins a win, init.

30% & a 1-0 score line gets you three points. Exactly the same as 73% possession and 6 goals

I think he’s had a fair enough crack to show something.

He’s shown nothing & no signs of improvement - but yeah give him 12-13 games and then the call will be give him 17-20 games then 25-28 games and then it’ll be too late…

[tans]

1 win in 9 league and cup games is fantastic form.

Im with DV on this one
