Swindon Town v Shrewsbury Town Matchday Thread

[Crozzer]

He just can’t help himself can he, at this point it’s almost like part of his job is to create a rift amongst the fans. It’s nothing to do with being a character, he just seems a propaganda machine for the ownership. He also needs to stop gaslighting us, we have eyes and could see for ourselves Shrews were terrible.

I have to give Ollie a pass on his post-match comments to the BBC.  He obviously appreciates the freedom he has been granted to control the playing side.  For that, Clem deserves recognition in "not buying a dog and barking himself".  On the other hand, making career changing decisions about players would weigh heavily on anyone who cares about their players' welfare, or their players as people in their lives.  It has been a very stressful week for the supporters let alone the manager, players, and coaching staff.  So, with the game over, he needed to vent.  As far as I am concerned, he can rant on about anything as long as it follows gaining points as a result of acceptable performances.

I absolutely detest Holloway, win, lose or draw he has to have a pop.

If he managed any other club I would want him to fail massively, unfortunately he’s manager of my club so I can’t wish that, but I don’t think I have ever disliked a manager more, and that includes Paul Hart.

It’s every week now, the days of giving him a pass are long gone. It’s the same mantra as the ownership, conditioning us to accept the lower reaches of league 2 and making out we plucky little underdogs. How dare us expect a win against the worst teams in the EFL, saying they weren’t bad just shows he thinks he can take us fools. He’s just taking us for mugs at this point, just like the ownership do. There’s a reason he hasn’t been touched by competent owners in the best part of a decade!

Next week we play a team that for the first time this season have won a couple, that will tell us whether we are any good or just had a fortunate run of fixtures.

I agree with that

Will Wright vs Kostiuk. Sounds like Smith has lost a family member.

[digby]

I agree with that

He must be like marmite........I luv him !!

[Jericho]

It's getting very tiresome being told how great our chairman is and how "it’s completely insane what he’s managing to do for us"

It's all the same spiel we heard at the Fans Forum two seasons ago about "changing our mindset". We've heard every manager wax lyrical about how great Morfuni is as if it's the primary part of their brief for interviews.

I agree with that

Yep. I'm the same. But it doesn't stop me from wanting us to do well

Not trying to be provocative but if we do beat them,will you accept that maybe we are capable of top 7?

I’m trying to work out why the Shrews goal wasn’t ruled out for offside. Cross comes in then is headed onto the back of a player who’s seemingly only got Nichols between him and the goal.  

I thought exactly the same. Lino confused because the keeper is in front of the player?

It should have been disallowed for one of two reasons, there were fouls (Two IMO) on the Swindon players, and for offside. Subsequently, with the away side going for the winner, I had expected the ball to hit Wright on the arse, rebound off the post and then cross the line.

That puts it in a different light?

They were showing love and support for a fellow player and friend. How about Kostiuk try just not being a fucking dick?

Good job they didn’t need any ‘E’s

It's alright if they do, Adam Hart has a shipment coming in any day.

[Kinky Tom]

I don't detest him but I definitely find him very trying, if he keeps playing more like today rather than Tuesday then I can tolerate him.  I certainly wish he had a filter when it comes to his interviews as he makes it very hard to want to be on his side.

Why is Holloway such a fun sponge. It was a largely good performance and everyone went home with a smile on their face

But oh no, that's no good. Better have pop at them telling them how to think and behave.

Fuck off

This. It's putting me off even the support the team part now. Ideally we'll still win every game but any joy is being sucked out at the moment.
