Swindon Match Thread

Can't wait for Barney to get back

[Saints Warrior]

Saome old Saints this season , missed chances during domonating game then poor defending to go 1-0 down. Why cant we defend with the players we have and a set play also. Should have had a goal by now but again teams have us sussed out!

[alpine_saint]

Not sure why people think i new manager will bring miracles. Its them out there that have to score. and they cant.

 

Yep. Think "brothel"...

[Liquidshokk]

3rd from bottom

[latter day saint]

I ****ing hate Swindon!

This!

[Hamilton Saint]

Despite the goal, says Merrington, Saints are still showing good spirit.

[Saint Without a Halo]

Mid September and we are now 3rd from bottom!

[S-Clarke]

3rd from bottom

 

means sod all at this stage, this league is very tight - a couple of wins and you're top half.

[SW11_Saint]

Have no expectation of a result today. Wilkens is firmly in the 'Wigley category'. Hopefully another defeat will convince Cortese to get his hand in his pocket and sort the Adkins mess out. Had he have done so earlier in the week, we might have had a better chance of a result today...

[Saint Fan CaM]

We will not come back from 1-0...not with the current situation - not enough about the team and Swindon have their tails up.

[itchen_dan]

Time to make some changes IMO.

 

Take Oxlade & Connolly off. Put Dickson on in midfield and Guly behind Lambert & Puncheon upfront.

 

Need that extra attacking threat with the runs from Dickson & Guly.

[Thedelldays]

dickson and guly coming on I think...

[adrian lord]

they are bloody paid to have spirit.

[Deppo]

We are throwing away a dream fixture list for the first part of the season, unbelievable. This is a damn fine mess Cortese has got to get us out of quickly!

 

Nothing to do with the players then?

[waggy]

**** cortese for sacking pardew... thats all i have to say

 

do you realise you left 'Thank' out of the beginning of that sentence

[Liquidshokk]

I admire your optimism. I cant see those couple of wins coming anytime soon though. Not sure what the players were taking for the bristol game but I wish they would double drop some of that...

[maxi_sopez]

i dont get people saying it has nothing to do with manager...before pardew was sacked we won 4-0 away from home this whole we couldnt score before stuff is sh!t

[Leicestersaint]

Davies seems to have great difficulty in keeping a clean sheet.

[Toomer]

Good call but won't happen.

[SW11_Saint]

Perhaps you should cast your mind back to Pardew's last game. That is the difference a decent manager can make...

[adrian lord]

See my post directly above that one, old fellow.

[Hamilton Saint]

Gul do Prado coming on.

[Thedelldays]

at the end of last season...we looked like the best team in the league..

 

from the start of the summer...pre season and the start..we have had poor luck and poor form..

 

why does it have to happen to us..

[Hamilton Saint]

15 minutes left.

[Saint Without a Halo]

Ball down the middle and total confusion in the saints defence

[Saint Fan CaM]

Austin gets injured - off on stretcher. Good. Guly on.

[mitch01]

We wouldnt be in this state if Pardew was still here, but having said that its quite possible Cortese had no choice but to sack him so its not all that simple.

[Saint_clark]

Austin broken his arm by the looks of it, how long until we play them again?

Lack of preparation. It is as simple as that. All that "no panic, there's a World Cup on" b*ll*cks.

[Hamilton Saint]

Bad injury to arm for Charlie Austin.

[Red]

do you realise you left 'Thank' out of the beginning of that sentence

 

Love it !!!! Completely agree :-)

[latter day saint]

Austin off. nice 1 Kelvin !

[.comsaint]

Nigel Adkins will sort this bunch of clueless gits out & have us climbing the league in no time. All we're lacking (apart from Lallana & Barnard of course) is a gaffer that knows how to win.

[Liquidshokk]

Perhaps you should cast your mind back to Pardew's last game. That is the difference a decent manager can make...

 

They weren't all like that... as you well remember. I liked pardew and I like the squad fwiw. I just dont think a new manager is going to have the impact everyone is expecting....

[alpine_saint]

Austin broken his arm by the looks of it, how long until we play them again?

 

Forgive me if I allow myself a little sniigger...

[Toomer]

Austin gets injured - off on stretcher. Good. Guly on.

 

Is it terminal

[NickG]

Austin gets injured - off on stretcher. Good. Guly on.

 

painful I hope, ****y *****

Spot on! The winning mentality is slowly drifting away and needs someone with experience of it to come in and restore the faith to the side.

[Saint_clark]

Puncheon coming off for Do Prado.

[SO16_Saint]

3 up?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Guly on for Puncheon and goes wide left - STUPID!!! FFS Wilkins has not got a clue! Alex O-C stays on.

[alpine_saint]

Puncheon coming off for Do Prado.

 

Come on Goolie..

As a famous golfer once said "the harder I train the luckier I get" you make your own luck! unfortunately we seem to be unable to make anything at the moment

[Saint_clark]

Guly is playing in behind the strikers, NOT wide left.

[Thedelldays]

Guly on for Puncheon and goes wide left - STUPID!!! FFS Wilkins has not got a clue! Alex O-C stays on.

 

he has not gone wide left...HTH

[bjk]

Bad injury to arm for Charlie Austin.

 

Why couldn't that happen 15 minutes ago

[Thedelldays]

As a famous golfer once said "the harder I train the luckier I get" you make your own luck! unfortuantely we seem to be unable to make anything at the moment
