SWINDON TOWN 4 BOURNEMOUTH 0: Did that change your mind, Eddie?
6:00am Monday 24th September 2012 in STFC News By Andy Warren
HIGH POINT: Darren Ward climbs to head clear against Bournemouth
I WONDER if Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell would still not swap Paul Groves for Town boss Paolo Di Canio after watching his side well and truly beaten in Wiltshire?
Swindon began the fortress County Ground rebuilding process in style as two goals from Matt Ritchie and strikes from Andy Williams and Adam Rooney saw them storm back into the play-off places with a 4-0 win, while all the Cherries fans had to shout about was their desire for Groves to be removed from his job at the earliest opportunity.
While the visitors looked short of ideas and lacking in shape, Di Canio’s side created chance after chance and looked well organised at the back as they restricted Groves’ side to only one clear-cut chance all afternoon.
Town used the width they were offered by their opponents to their full advantage, as time and again Tommy Miller slung the ball out to either Ritchie or Gary Roberts, who more often than not made something happen.
The duo, between them, had a hand in all four goals, and it could have been even more if there had been a red shirt on hand to convert any of the numerous balls which flashed across the box during the course of the 90 minutes.
Town were solid at the back too, with Nathan Thompson particularly impressing in a performance where the youngster barely lost a tackle or a header or misplaced a pass, while Jay McEveley dealt with the threat of Lewis Grabban well when the striker drifted out wide in the second period.
Swindon are unlikely to be afforded so much space down the flanks on many more occasions this season, but with Ritchie keen to cut inside and Williams’ desire to drift to the touchline, League One defences have a job on to keep all of Town’s threats quiet at once between now and the end of the season.
The home side could have taken the lead as early as the second minute, as Williams muscled out his opponent and barged his way into the box and pulled the ball back well, only for James Collins to fire his shot wide.
Grabban fired a long-range effort not too far wide as Bournemouth struck their first warning sign, but Town soon began their bombardment from the flanks as both Thompson and Ritchie flung balls into good areas which didn’t quite find a Town shirt.
Although Ritchie hadn’t quite found his range with his crossing, the same couldn’t be said of his shooting, as he robbed Wes Fogden and fired is shot into the top corner past Shwan Jalal as he has so often in a Town shirt.
Town never seem content to sit on a lead, and continued to attack from the kick off before Roberts whipped in an inviting looking cross which was deflected behind. The resulting corner was only cleared as far as Ritchie, but the winger couldn’t repeat the trick as he drilled a shot harmlessly wide.
Roberts again found space out wide and this time got his cross into the box, but Williams was inches away of connecting for what surely would have been Town’s second goal.
Skipper Miles Addison headed wide before Grabban went down in search of a penalty for the visitors, but they soon slipped further behind as Roberts’ best cross of the afternoon found Williams in acres of space to head home.
It was no more than Town deserved, but the two-goal lead saw them take their foot off the gas ever so slightly, which allowed Bournemouth to get a slight foothold in the game without ever really creating any meaningful chances.
Williams saw a shot trickle into the arms of Jalal before McCormack went on a marauding run which only ended in the Town skipper fouling opposite number Addison.
For all their possession Town could have easily found themselves only a goal up at the interval, but for Wes Foderingham’s superb one-handed save to deny Tubbs. The Town keeper threw himself to his right to make the save, but with Ward struggling to reach the rebound Foderingham made a tackle with his feet to clear the danger.
The second half began exactly the same manner of the first as Williams delivered a good cross to an empty penalty area, before the visitors went straight down the other end to win a corner.
But their set piece only served as the starting point for another Town attack as Miller headed clear to Roberts, and the winger stormed forwards and fed the ball to Collins who was only able to lose control in Cherries territory.
Having played creator all afternoon Roberts had a go himself but lifted his shot over the bar, and seconds later Williams cut inside and fired his shot into the legs of Jalal.
Rooney replaced Collins, and his first act was to shoot straight at Jalal from a tight angle before a number of good runs pushed the away side back.
Thompson advanced down the right after a one-two with Ritchie and was chopped down near the touchline, winning the free-kick which would eventually lead to Town’s third. Ritchie took aim and whipped in a ball which bounced in the six yard box, and the flight and lack of pace on the cross deceived Jalal as the ball nestled in the bottom corner.
With the game won Town were able to relax, but despite taking pace out of the game the home side still pushed forward, and Williams had a shout for a penalty turned down before Rooney acrobatically turned another Ritchie delivery into the Town End.
But the Irishman did eventually register his first at the County Ground as he found himself on the end of a good move involving Roberts and McEveley to fire low and hard into the bottom corner.
Roberts and Miller could both have added a fifth, but the pair fired over as the full-time whistle went.

The most depresing thing that I've woken up to this morning is the new that our c0ck of a chairman has no plans to sack the manager. Only 752 travelled on Saturday but with perfomances like that and £25 a ticket who can blame them. Living local it was like comparing your days when Danny Wilson was manager.
Good luck for the rest of the season as I'm pretty sure you'll be in the top 6 at the end of the season.

Den, Mikek, & P Sid
I followed the debate last evening with a great deal of interest, and found myself agreeing with so many points made.
I think you were all right in your own ways, but I think it boils down to perhaps not what is written, but how its written, and as has been pointed out before, the written word has no facial expression or gestures, nods, winks etc and sometimes you just cannot put that into the written word.
For what its worth I think the individual in question is probably a decent enough bloke, and face to face conversations would be a lot more enlightening than bullet points on a forum. As I said last week, I hope he mellows with age, shame is I won't be around long enough to see it.

Ok we've got a lot of injuries but that's no excuse for a perfomance like this and I was almost relieved when I left that you hadn't scored at least 6.

Funny though that some of the Bournmouth fans were saying on here a few weeks ago that this would be our biggest gate of the season.
How wrong these deluded people were, I think when we play the return leg we'll take at least double what they brought to Town.

I am concerned that Collins is becoming the new Alan Connel in the eyes of Paolo, when Collins layed the ball off and misspassed it to a bournemouth player, Paolo went mental and called Rooney back, Collins immediately looked at the bench and knew he was coming off. I think this could destroy his confidence in exactly the way it did with AC.
Thoughts ?

That team we shut up shop and stiffled in the first half and then took apart in the second to win 3 nil. Yep that team Brighton Played 7, won 5, drawn 1, lost 1 Points 16. Top of the Championship. Yep that's right folks top. Some form line that and some indication of how far we have come and how far we still have to go......

Don't understand the "re-building fortress CG" headlines.

My own view is, Canioman likes a scapegoat as it brings focus to the rest. I'm not sure that "Ruling by fear" for the want of a better expression is the way to go. I have found that nobody of any worth "mucks it up on purpose" in this life, unless they have an agenda, and I don't think Collins or any other come to that, falls into that category.

My immediate thought after the match was that either Poyet was going to give his players a major b0llocking or else he would shrug his shoulders and say "Good, glad that's out of the way". Judging from his post-match interview, I reckon it was the latter. We played well that night but I don't think it was a useful yardstick. I sense tomorrow will be much more of a match. If Burnley are up for it, I can see see result being anything between a narrow victory for us and a big win for them. Hardly sticking my head on the block with that prediction, eh?!
I don't think Connell ever lost his confidence - yes he may have been frustrated by Paolo pulling him off early and only using him as sub but hey that's life. Collins is only 21 has plenty of time to knuckle down and improve. That's why he came here to improve and yes Paolo's methods are unforgiving and seem harsh sometimes but it's well known on him I'm part of the rose tinted brigade who love what they are seeing!

I wonder if he might be starting with Collins and Benson tomorrow. Williams works so hard and took a few knocks on Saturday. The fact that he has a couple of goals now might be the right time to bring him on for 30 mins after someone else has done the leg work.

Is that you Lovesey wrote:I'm with Dreamo and Summer69 - I didn't see it destroying Connell's confidence - in fact I'd go so far as to say he responded exactly how PDC wants players to respond. Next time on - and he was given plenty of chances - he gave his all yet again. Hopefully Collins will respond the same way. Connel did score some important goals for us, but the sad (to me and to many) truth is, he probably just wasn't quite good enough to do it consistently at a higher level. He missed a lot of important chances as well. Here's a related question for people's memories ... PDCs philosophy seems to be that if a player starts off sluggish, 'blurry' or makes a string (OK, only 3) of mistakes there's no point leaving him on because he's not going to improve during the course of that game. Better to put somebody else on who's feeling sharp. I don't know if he's right or not and maybe its my memory, but although I can think of plenty of players who have started well and then faded in a game, I can't think of many who have been having a bad game and then suddenly start playing well. Can anybody?

Bournemouth ticket prices range from £19, £20, £22, £23, £26 and £33 for the various parts of their ground. Whilst they can choose which part of their stadium they want to watch their home matches from and, hence, choose how much they pay, they have no such choice at the County Ground.
Our prices ARE COMPARABLE with theirs. TE/SB at £19 and AS/DR at £25. Away Fans are always put in the Arkles Stand first at £25, as home teams MUST provide seated and covered areas in the main. If they were to bring a lot more fans then The Stratton Bank – sorry – The Excalibur Stand – would be made available at a cost of £19 a ticket.
So, If away fans want to complain about ticket prices at CC, then get your ar**s in gear, get behind your team, bring more fans and you can have cheaper tickets.
Simples.

As you know I genuinely think with our board, chairman and manager we have a shot at getting to the Premiership the year after next. Whether one likes the excess of that division or not, we should surely try?

No problems with MoM but i would have given to either Roberts or Williams myself.
Also i must add i have been a critic of Foderingham and his catching of crosses but Saturday he was superb with the crosses as he was with everything else with his game,his save just before half time with 1 on 1 could have been a turning point.

I'm not saying we should disregard the Brighton form completely. But I honestly don't believe Poyet had them motivated to win that night. If we took the result as a reliable form indicator it would mean that we are better than most teams in the Championship and we would be smashing most of the opposition out of sight in our own division. Clearly neither of those things is true. From all the games I've seen, I'd say our most convincing performance - and the standard we have to meet if we are going to be promotion challengers - was the MK game, a thoroughly professional job against a side composed of decent and canny players that was trying every inch to get something from the game. If Burnley are up for it tomorrow and we beat them, perhaps we'll have a new high point to live up to (for me anyway).
.
Most people look for the positives. No genuine supporter wants us to do badly. PDC speaks week in, week out about what he sees as shortcomings, as well as the good points. Fans have always done the same and always will do.

With regard to Flint, it is my belief that Paolo has gone for experience at the back after the run of poor results, steady the ship if you like. Aden and Troy are both young and will feature again, timing is the key.
Just my opinion but to me it makes good sense.

Having chased Bostock for months it would seem, he cannot even make the bench at the moment. Did I miss something please guys?Nope i don't think so JB,only one man knows whats really going on and no mate he don't post on here i believe his user name is Di Canio.I`m a bit miffed about Bostock myself,still you cant argue against the players that are being played when they are doing so well, all will probably come out in the wash at sometime no doubt Joey.
With regard to Flint, it is my belief that Paolo has gone for experience at the back after the run of poor results, steady the ship if you like. Aden and Troy are both young and will feature again, timing is the key.
Just my opinion but to me it makes good sense.

We stifled them and they received little or no service, while we played the best game I have seen at home this season.
Tomorrow night will bring with it fresh challenges, lets just hope we can equip ourselves to overcome them.
