oafc1955 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Wheater’s not on his own though is he?......I’m not making excuses for him but it must be difficult to play to your best form with this shit show going on in the background. He’s only just left another shit show behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Chuckle Brothers' defenders (and I'm not accusing you of being one) aren't too concerned, but this is a bloody nightmare and an embarrassment. Sorry for trying to see the smallest crumb of positivity but you're on the money, it's gone way past the point of seeing anything better than staying in the division, I see us easily doing that but if that's the season after season ambition then best call the vet and put this wounded owl out of it's misery.

SweeperKeeper Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Thought our play looked a bit more joined up and positive today, without really threatening seriously.  I still think the back line is the major priority for strengthening. Anyone with half-decent positioning and the ability to play a 10m pass or make a headed clearance would walk into the side at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Not a bad performance this afternoon. But lacked any real penetration in the final third. Poor by Wheater to give the ball away at the end but it was a clean strike by the ginger ninja when he was played in on goal. Iacovitti was targeted first half with Woolery seeing a lot of the ball down that wing and what a strike for the first goal. Not sure if Egert was injured when subbed after having come on for Stott. But if both are injured and out it leaves us stretched for defensive cover.  Crawley, Morecambe, Salford as the next three games. 9 points should do it.

Bristolatic Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I thought we were the better team in the first half. We went at them from the kick off and they didn't like it. Any touch on them and they simply fell over. Â It was good pressing, neat and tidy passing, and their keeper had a couple of heart in the mouth moments. With someone who could put half chances away, we could have been two or three up before they really threatened us. Â Their goal came from leaving Woollery the freedom of Swindon; he was never going to miss. We didn't deserve to be behind at half time. Â Wellens must have shot a rocket up their collective arses, because they came out fired up for the second half and we completely lost our shape. Â Our attacks became fewer, were weren't winning second ball (and sometimes not even the first). It was as though the fight had been knocked out of us. We still had the odd chance but, apart from that miss from 5yds out from Iacovitti, we didn't look like scoring. Â We gifted Doyle his goal with that awful pass from Wheater (why didn't he just lump it anywhere?) and the ginger one was never going to miss. Â So, a very disappointing result because, despite Swindon being top of the league, we could have won it had we kept the first half momentum going and not been so sloppy defensively. Â Play a full 90 minutes like the first 45 and we won't do that badly, especially if that clinical striker is brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this current crop of midfielders it looks like we will need a decent ball winning CF or just get a few more midfielders in the January sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any such player who is available won't be short of offers; hard to imagine us being first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
