Bodin not a loan (From Swindon Advertiser)

So we're waiting on the new striker and if it doesn't happen we'll take Raimondi - sounds good to me.

Be interesting what team he puts out tomorrow night. I thought the team that finished the game Saturday looked more mobile and balanced than the one which started. Liked the look of McCormack - obviously very comfortable at this level.

Is Bodin available for selection tomorrow night? I had heard he's away with the Wales U21 squad. This would leave us with 2 fit strikers.

We definitely need a target man. I didn't think our forward line looked very dangerous on Saturday. You can't moan after a 3-0 win but it's easy to forget that Crewe were by far the better team until we scored.

diCanio said,
-
He is young so we still need to work with him.

“But Billy is in a good way now because he has been working with the first team for 40 days now and he did very well during the week.

“He is still young and sometimes switches off and I have to stay behind him like an older brother encouraging him to keep going, but this is my job obviously.”
-
A very positive outlook from diCanio, all "family" minded, strong bonds are growing, encouragement and mentoring, rewards for effort, and being young this is the best thing that could happen for Billy and it also demonstrates to the likes of Will Evans and the rest that if they do put in the effort they will be considered, not just used like Wilson used them. I can also see Bodin senior learning well from diCanio's philosophies here. Whether we are in the bottom tier or not, after the turmoil of the last few years, if that is what we have had to suffer to bring this man on board to get to what we have now, and the feeling that is steadily enshrining this club, then its been worth it. The future is being built on hard work and effort, a solid foundation is being laid, surely that is a better way to go. I cannot remember the the feelings of so many at the final whistle on Saturday ever being so profound. I have not felt so proud of a Town side in such a very long time, and once more, here we have a home grown youngster embarking on what could be a fantastic season and on to a brilliant career, all the seeds are now sown, from here on its down to Billy and hard work, and diCanio will be with him all the way, his new found big brother.

Think you're right but not heard any more on that one - even the Welsh FA site doesn't give you any squad list.
As it is only a friendly I'd hope not as would like to see Bodin alongside Connell at the front.

Anyone who went - 3 papers I've read to date all show de Vita as having a match rating of only 5....was he below par?

Well I thought young Billy was second only to a fantastic Flint on Saturday. Quick feet, good passing, illusive and strong. Reminded me of Teddy Sheringham in his clever hold up play. Just need to add some goals and we could have the next big thing. great game Billy. Loan? - MY AR5E!

SAPF I thought Da Vita had a 6.5 game. Not mind blowing but strong, unselfish and put himself about. bit similar to Billy, just not as skillful. Still I liked the look of him at this level.

bodin has got great potential! with the right coaching he can go far, but its a must he stays for few seasons at least. i know theres no interset in him at this time from bigger clubs but im sure there wil be. di canio im sure sees something in this lad and wont let him go easily.

same goes for aden flint!

I'm lost without the NoW, I tried the Mail and Express on Sunday and the football reports for our level of playing are not very good, it's all rugby and premiere league. I wouldn't mind trying the Star this Sunday and see if my misses is Ok with it, somehow doubt it. Would never have the People in the house since they were the rag the two traitors sold out to which ultimately led to our relegation under ossie. It was 20 years ago but never read it since.

Anyway Sap back to your question on De Vita, he did OK, he put the ball through for Bodin to run on to win the penalty, A 6 would have been more approbriate. Still need to go and get my daily to check ratings, but I would have thought Phil Smith would have got a 9 and Flint a nigh on perfect 10. The 3 that for me were poor first 1/2 hour and probably deserved a 5 were Devera, Risser and Jon Smith, but once the nerves settled they probably were a 6 as we started to get on top and Ollie's goal was a cracker.

McCormack and Ferry bossed it when they came on and 1 if not both could start Tuesday, So for me no change at the back, Richie could move up front with Connell in for Bodin if he is on duty with Wales. If we play with 5 in midfield then de Vita may drop to the bench

This news that Raimondi has gone home, seems strange, Paulo wanted to take a further look at him before making a decision and now that decision will be made when he is not even here. It could be Raimandi didn't want to come here or he's gone home to speak with his family, Is home Uruguay or where he last played in Bulgaria? Either way, I don't think he'll be back, which would be a pity as i thought he may have fitted the bill to be the #9

I am with you on this Lionel i also thought our front line didnt look potent, Bodin showed a few good touches but i keep saying it he aint a striker in that i mean he aint going to score you shed loads of goals we be lucky to get half a dozen out of him for me he would be much better on the wing with his tricky fast feet just my opinion and i hope i am proved wrong, as for De Vita again he hurried and closed down but he looks more of a provider i just hope the two guys we have on trial today for the week that at least one is a decent striker, anybody know who they are yet?. Also i thought Risser looked out of depth but i guess the guy was very nervous hopefully the goal would of settled him down but hey theres me moaning and we won three nil but like Lionel said we could and should of been three down before we got the pen.

Great to see that the youngsters Bodin & Kennedy have at last broken into the first team & are producing the goods. I believe that both of them have got a brilliant future ahead & under Di Canio can only get better & better. Aden Flint is another player who will be a big asset to the Town & could become the new ooh Shuan Taylor . Great in the air & I think will score quite a few goals from corners & set pieces. All in all looking good.

I think that decision shows a degree of confidence with regard getting the new striker in.

Sounds strange but I'd make multiple changes for Tuesday, with Saturday's first half in mind. Need to hit the ground running, play further up the park and be more dynamic in the centre of midfield. If we don't, City will take full advantage. I'd like McCormack, Comazzi, Ferry and Connell all to start.

Anybody heard when S-A-S will be be fit ?

69er, the reason the players started so slowly was due to nervs i think. Many of them had not played in ateam where the fans expectation was to win promotion at least. If you make wholesale changes then the players that come in will have that feeling. I would make one or two changes at most.

It was never going to be a stroll in the park and total domination for 90mins - it is rarely the case for any team
.
Yes we did start poorly - but that was probably 2 fold - as stated above nerves - new club, new league, new country etc etc
.
But more importantly Crewe are not a poor team - all their outfield players came through their youth ranks and no new players were signed - so they are a gelled side
.
What was good though was even though Crewe were by far the better team in the first half they only created 2 real chances
.
One came from a slip by Devera which led to Smith brilliant double save (hope PdC noted that and tells the groundstaff not to over water the pitch again!)
.
The other was where their striker ballooned it over - goal in L1!!!
.
However as Gradi said in the 2nd half we ran rings round them and it could have easily been 4,5 or 6
.
De Vita burst through and squared it only for Billy to be at the near post - a few more games and they will have split properly for an easy tap in
.
Connell got through and didn't know to shoot or cross so did neither really - again a few more weeks and he will be either shooting or picking out someone who will be joining in
.
Then after a totally class move Ferry put it over towards the end - not to mention Rictchie had a couple of headers too - we were creating chances!
.
For me 5 players stood out - P.Smith, Kennedy, Flint and Bodin who were all excellent and should all be starting at Cheltenham (cup is different so he can look at others then if he likes)
.
The other was Caddis - as I was disappointed with him - not because he had a bad game but because last year it was all him and Ritchie it was strange not to see him involved in everything
.
The others I won't have a go at as it was not even a full game they were average or below par for - and everyone is allowed that especially the first game! If it continues for 4-6 games then it might be a question to raise
.
Loyal - good to have met you on Sat and maybe next time Daz.
.
I'm happy to meet people if others if they fancy it - D&R is probably the next one so if anyone wants to join SAP who is planning to meet up before had feel free
.
Stratton - No it wasn't me in the Burmah kit - I wear a non-offical (not made by the club) retro kit from the 70s - can't ever go "out of date" that way!

I think it will be less this year and will say now 82 for automatic and 87 for the title

Very impressed by Bodin on saturday. De Vita slightly diassapointing, so I'd give Bodin & Connell (livley when he came on) the nod tomorrow night

I'll tell you who else had a good game… Phil Smith.

I bought the Mail, the People and the Star as they boasted 80 pages of football. However the People gave us most coverage, the Star gave us 5/6 lines in a 2x2 box. Their feature story for league 2 was Wimbledon who got very good coverage.
I too miss the NOTW and can't wait for the Sunday Sun to appear. I made several phone calls to News International but as yet they've not returned my calls, thinks maybe someone intercepted the calls. :-)

Custonian, I have never been a great fan of his, but Saturday he was brilliant, good stops, handled the ball well in the 6 yard area and much improved on his distribrution, can't understand how the Sun only gave him a mark of 6, the same as Phillips. If it goes to penalties tomorrow, I hope he will outshine David James, who i bet Paolo is dying to see again. may long will he continue with that kind of form, I think he deserves to keep his place.

Of course Billy can't go out on loan, he was our second best player on Saturday and pushed Flint all the way for MOM. Agree also that Phil Smiffy had a great game too, it should be difficult for Mattia to get in.
As for the "big" striker PDC said in his post match chat that the player had gone home to think about things but another will arrive this week to be assessed. I do like the look of Raimondi though.

Only one paper to buy on a Sunday for a good independent review and match report 'The Football League' paper - no Premier league, no Scots leagues - enough in the national papers......
....
Pure and unadultered Football League!
....
Bit pricey at £1.50 but gives a good review of every game - been getting it for a few years and wouldn't be without it now - not everyone stocks it but is normally on the magazine racks with NME news and Non-League version

How strange that we all seem to see the game differently, and it was difficult to give marks out of ten, because with the exception of Aden Flint and Phil Smith, most of the players were below par in the first half and improved markedly in the second half.
Saying that my markings on Saturday were as follows :-
.
9 - Flint
.
8 - Phil Smith & Matt Ritchie
.
7 - Caddis, Kennedy, Timlin, De Vita, & Bodin
.
6 - Jonathan Smith, Devera & Risser.

Sorry folks, I forgot the Substitutes :-
.
8 - McCormack & Connell
.
7 - Ferry

Would have agree with almost all of those marks with possible exception of caddis who had a a very quiet game, although he could have been playing to orders to keep it tight at the back and not get caught out going forward.

Checked the Sun and some of the marks our ex-players got, Douglas, Prutton and Sheehan got star ratings of 8 with Austin, Cuthbert JPM & Lesc picking up 6 and 7's for their respective teams.

Thanks Sap, I'll sse if my newsagent sells it.

Guys, go to stfc@yahoo.com Darren Colmanhas published an excellent set of pics from Saturdays game , also a set from the Reading game.

He needs to chase like Connelly

Still think we should make a bid for Portsmouth`s Kanu,always on the bench, or at least try to get him on loan ?

Anyone know how many tickets we have for the Cheltenham game?Also is it any good for parking there?

From what I heard from Di Canio during the post match interview it sounded like he could bring him in tomorrow if he wanted to but he has 2 further strikers coming in on trial this week and reading between the lines it seemed that these may be better than him.

I agree with Old stager on all his ratings, Flint was immense and you can sometimes hype up a player but his performance was a high 9 because i don't remember one mistake! Ritchie was also superb as expected.....Devera was shaky to start with but came through that.....did think that De vita and Billy looked out of sync with each other but both worked very hard and it will come, think connell looked very good and should start against city IMO

I hope we keep the team pretty much the same tomorrow evening, we've played so little together that it would give the team another chance to get to know each other, All I would change is Commazzi in for Devera and move him to RB, and bring in Connell up front for Bodin.

We have 1,400 tickets and only about 150 left,don't know on parking,only been there once and that was on the train.

Mike 1990 , we always park away from the ground in one of the corporation car parks and stroll over , not sure how many tickets we have 5 of us travel together the runner got ours this morning .
PdC said pre kick off last week he was very impressed with the effort the players are putting in at training , he was even surrised by 1 or 2 players that really worked hard and had put themselves back in contention one that had also shed a load of weight , I reckon that could have been Phil Smith , he looked about the leanest I have ever seen him .The overall fitness of the squad was already in evidence on Saturday , if they keep that up we will have some great last 15 minutes .
And I'm Feeling , Glad All Over

We've only sold 100 D&R tickets so far but there's plenty of time yet.

Agree with Old-stager's ratings too. I would guess that there will be 3 changes in the starting line up Commazzi for Devera; McCormack for Smith; Connell for DeVita.
There is something in Flint that reminds me of the former England player Dave Watson. The crunching tackle early doors started me thinking that way and how he sets up to head the ball. Not suggesting he is that level but it is great to watch.

Cant agree about Bodin with these ratings. Came out with a bolt on 8 for me. Different eyes I guess!! As for that Flint crunch tackle, wince still when I think of it!
Thought Smith took his time to settle in but had a no nonsense game and a tremendous engine like Douglas, gave him a 7 in the second half.

Went to a friends 50th birthday party there and parking is a non-starter near the ground to my memory.

There were only 100 of us there and we struggled to get parked at 8pm - I'd park in the main centre have a beer or two and then get the bus....lots of them, walk or taxi.

Just had a quick look and there is a shuttle bus service (every 20mins) from the Racecourse Park and Ride or junction of Whaddon Rd / Prestbury Rd between the A40 and the racecourse.......jus

Think you know it all and can predict anything!!??....Have a go and try and match our Premier League Leaders!! :-)

I think Raimondi has got cold feet, so maybe he won't be setting foot in Wiltshire any time soon.

Gillingham are reported to be looking at Kevin Lisbie. Perhaps we can get in before them? Or maybe Jason Euell.

Bill, agree with you on these possible changes, if Bodin is not available through International duties it could explain why Storey has been added to the squad, It will mean Timlin keeping his place, who did OK Saturday, but I wiould still like to see Ferry get more game time, he played well when he came, accept for ballooning a shot high and wide, if i was his trainer I would definitely be working on getting him to improve that part of his game

Daz - feel free to disagree with my posts I you don't agree with them - that's the point of these forums

But I agree a trues from personal attacks is best all round
.
I'm not at all games either and usually away games are better for me to meet up as I visit my folks usually if at home games - but there will be a few when I come by train so will be out like this week. I'll post on here when that is likely to be
