Yeovil 1 - Swindon Town 0 (From Swindon Advertiser)

Not sounding too good and especially cruicial injuries to Morrison and Kanu. Town seem to playing with alot of nerves and Coxy has just missed a sitter God how different to the last 3 games.

hopefully morrison and kanu will be back on saturday!! phil smith sounde like he was drunk at some points in the game! he kept fallin over to start with!! we should win saturday!!!

Oh dear ! the worries start again.

The Crewe game is now a must win and then one more win should do it. Today was a game where injuries and call ups to OTJ cost us the momentum. We do not have sufficient cover and it says it all when Pook is bought on to try and stirr up the midfield. At least not too many teams caught us up with only Yeovil and Orient winning. To be honest I would have taken 8 points from the last 4 games with the two away games as draws so we done slightly better but today was about lack of squad.

back 2 the dogfight then.it always happens,a team that have not won in 6 for there new manager then up pops STFC.No matter how you look at it THIS IS A BAD DEFEAT?

Normal srvice is resumed. It just shows how much we missed Tudur Jones who was wasting his time with Wales. Let's get the points we need in the last few games and then get rid of the dead wood.

Just got back from Yeovil and what ah heartless, gutless, spineless pathetic performance. We were well beaten by a terrible team....just shows what we are !!

Amankwa you were a disgrace, Timlin and Nallis, both absent without leave. This one hurts: Macnamee - a luxury player we can ill afford, always the wrong place at the wrong time, no guts to get back.

I could go on and on, but I'll give praise to Phil Smith, who although a bit shakey had a pretty good game. Coxy was his normal running self but missed an easy header (at least looked easy from our end of the ground), the rest of them should be ashamed to pick up their wages this week. We are back in the sh*t and if we get relegated we can honestly look back on this game as the one that turned the season in side out !!!

we were poor today.looked ok until kanu went off.we couldnt pass the ball and we were out muscled in centre mid.greer got caught out of position,had the ball lobbed over his head and the striker ran on and scored.

yeah,if cox hit the target with that header it was a goal.the keeper was rooted.

poor game. worst thing was that yeovil were worse than us but wanted it more and just seemed to work harder. poor result will need to improve effort next week. did anyone see what happened between timlin and phil smith?

Absolutley spot on mate. Gutless and spineless is an under statement. Trouble is we can look back on a whole host of spineless perfromances this season, Yeovil, Walsall, Millwall at home and Huddersfield away to name but a few.

I really hate criticising the team especially after the fine run of games we've had but today was woeful, it looked like they had all been out on the lash last night.

What a shambles, I wasted time and money travelling down to Yeovil.And IMO this was a obvious case of bad management by DW.A few days ago Wilson had the chance to sign a couple of loan players to boost his hopes of survival, but because he would not guarantee these players regular first team slots, they decided against signing on. So what does the the manager do, turn to "dead-legs" Nalis and the "no-hoper" Pook.The team is now going to struggle, owing to injuries and lack of depth in the squad. There were players out there today that lacked passion and commitment which DW should have installed in them before the game. I will remember this game if we go down and it's all down to Wilson's lack of vision.

I disagree, today was not about lack of squad at all.

It was about another gutless display. A display full of inferior confidence, poor passing, marking, tackling, you name it, we were devoid of it all.

Utter rubbish, the run comes to an end and it was only a matter of time.

I believe we will survive the drop a little more than I did a few weeks ago, but still maintain my opinion on this current bunch of wastrs. 3/4 of them need to be off loaded in the summer.

I also disagree with the comment about DW's lack of vision, it has nothing to do with that, it's these gutless wasters that have been under performing for the majority of the season, look there, if you need to look anywhere if we do go down, for the reasons we have.

Utter rubbish and a complete disgrace to the sacred shirt.

Your point is what exactly. What I said was we do not have the squad to cover the losses of Morrison, OTJ, or Kanu. With them in last 3 games we started to get a settled side and playing as a team so the other 8 players had not been guttless in the last games. If you read my previous post over the last few months you will realise I have been saying the same as you to clear out over half this squad.My point was we had some momentum going at long last and it could have been different with the other 3 players in for the full game. Just my opinion by the way.

Very good point in that we dont have that great strength in depth at the momment but I really do not think we will be relegated. I just have a funny feeling we will be ok.

I said on here a few weeks ago that 7 games, starting with Hereford would make or break us. 2 wins out of 3 so far is not a bad return. Crewe have a poor away record and I am confident we can win that. We will still then have 3 games against teams around us, Brighton, Leyton Orient and Carlisle. I think we will get enough points from those to make us safe. I went today and agree with most of the postings. The onlthing I will say in their defence, is the two injuries early on in the game changed the shape of the team. Yeovil also seemed to make better use of the wind. Did anyone else think the wind dropped in the second half when it was at our backs?

50 points will not be enough to stay up.We will get nothing from our remaining 3 away games. We will not beat Rovers and Orient at home.We have a poor squad,and poor back up staff-read Byrne's rubbish on the STFC web site!!

it makes me laugh as this time last week, most of you were praising the SAME BINCH OF PLAYERS, for their 3 nil win over herford . how many of you commenting actually made the journey down to yeovil?if youd put as much effort into cheering your team on to win than jumping at he first chance ti slag em off then maybe we could help the players. i for o0ne belive that some of that squad are more than capable of playin league 1, it doesnt help that for the most part of this season we had a donkey in charge, safe to say wilson is still trying to repair the damage. i belive we will stay up. get behind the bloody team, not on top of em!!!

Totally agreed These Fans are all over the place i think half of em are spaced out if anything our goal difference is an extra point

Sounded bad day all round.Nver mind who did this and that, hope they can concentrate on the Crewe game like the remaining is important.

Problem is DW id not count on these injuries and did not get cover before transer deadline.
God luck "REDS"

As I said before, I at least DID go, and that entitles me to say my piece. If I performed so errartically at my work I would be sacked. All we ask is a fair days work performance wise for a decent wage that they pick up. If you had actually been there, you would have reason for complaint like us. Money, time and effort (which the majority of the team did not ecen put in) was wasted by the many supporters present.

i saw swindon for the first time since dec 2000 and we were woeful at best,we played into yeovils hands and lets face it they are a poor side who lump the ball as well as lump the players,first 20mins were ok but if we were playing a better side yesterday we would have got beat badly i hope DW sorts it out for next week

What bit did you not understand. Your post clearly says at the end, that yesterday was about lack of squad.

I disagree, is that ok with you? Or do I need your permission to have a different view to you?

I thought my point of view was very clear, I'm surprised that someone who is so opinionated himself struggles to see the opinion of another.

I understood your post, I agreed with a lot of it, it was just the way you worded the last sentence made it 'appear' that you thought we lost the game yesterday due to a lack of squad.

Were you having a bad day yesterday, you seem to have gone totally defensive very easily lol.

I watched the game yesterday and the one thing i feared all week was that nalis would be the replacement for OTJ. I dont want to knock Wilson as the recent improvement in play has been obvious however Timlin appears to perform better when having more time on the ball due to others industry and as yeovil are predictable as being indutrious and battling in midfield we needed more than Nalis having a jog round the park nice guy im sure good player in the past but our mid-field was over-run for long periods i would also question the use of kennedy to wide left i expected Amank to move into midfield smith to swap sides and kennedy to left back if he were to come on at all surely the obvious choice for a wide man would have been marshall which would have given yeovil something to think about however his exclusion from the bench has to be questioned {unless injured]

i agree with the marshall thing why wasnt he on the bench he would of been a swap 4 kanu yet he's got pook on the bench cant get my head round that 1.

What an absolutely terrible game. Dont get me wrong I love Swindon with all my heart but this was a game one would look at and think how the hell can these players call themselves professional footballers? You get paid week in week out, train all week for each game and then you turn up at the game and cant pass, tackle, shoot, run. I really dont understand. This is one of the worst, if not the worst swindon displays I have ever seen. Absolutely shocking. A complete waste of £17. All the players looked like they had somewhere else to be. CRAP CRAP CRAP !!!!!!!!!

yeah, cheltenhams nightclubs
