I agree Lan, don't care what Shiny are the blithering fool think of him. He's good at breaking play down but he's lost pace now unfortunately so players are starting to prevent him even doing that.
Most realise elliots strengths and weaknesses, when he had the ball with loads of space in the middle in the second half and just fell over sums up Elliot in a nut shell..
Yeah I was, slight improvement on recent peformances, means **** all because you know next week city will perform dog ****.
Which part of the ground was you in? I was in the Arckle. Had to break rank at the end to get to my car in the car park. Also went to the cash point before the game as the Escort came past only about 100 or so but we had to walk back to the ground with them. Now my daughter sings "she's got chlamydia" at us all now after they sang it about some girls on the way
I think I was in that stand, to be honest I wasn't really with it today because the news I heard earlier in the week, but one funny, well not so funny thing I saw is a guy getting absolutely clattered by a police horse as it kicked off when the police were giving the idiots an escort to the train after the game, he was alright though. Also saw a guy getting escorted trying to run onto the pitch, with city fans trying to grab him back into the crowd And was it just me or was our atmosphere shocking? The life has been sucked out of every single bcfc supporter because of where we are. in the league.. We're all turning into Sean O'driscolls
A big crowd can either be really loud or very quiet. Cardiff away we took less but were 100x as noisy and the game was 100x worse. City fans are a odd bunch....
Think we are all just to nervous without winning for so long that it's affected the crowd. I love Swindon away normally one of the best to travel too, but today it seemed to tense and quiet.
Does anyone else, When celebrating a city goal, Automatically think "This won't last long, They'll concede soon" I've been like this for 3 ****ing years now. We could be 5-0 up with 3 minutes left and I wont be convinced we've won. Used to be a time the "Always Believe" saying was installed into us reds....... Now its all but worn away.
Today I thought they would score once we scored, but also I knew the longer the game went in the second half that they would score. We are getting there but I don't think the fans will stay with SoD which will be the wrong thing to do, but I can't see them with his comments.
I won't say I knew, Because nobody does, but it was obvious we would concede a goal. When it got to about the 65th minute you could feel the next goal would win it. Also when was the last time city scored a last minute WINNER. It really isn't worth watching city after the 80th minute if we need to score a winner...
If we want to play a passing style of football then we have to get Elliott out of the middle of the park, as he is king of the short pass square or back, and his pace (which was never rapid) is slowing, perhaps he could be converted to a Central Def?? The real point here is that SOD has brought in umpteen midfielders since he joined us and he has constantly championed a new style of football, yet he insists on playing Elliott, I know Kelly got injured and perhaps that forced his hand, who knows, but SOD cannot have it both ways, he cannot keep saying he is bleeding new and young players, and constantly overlook, Wynter, Pack, Reid & Bryan as automatic starters over Marv. At least SOD has finally seemed to realise that Kilkenny s not the man for us, so kudos for that, finally!!
i was in end terrace (forgot name of it), thought the singing was quite good really. We have a problem after scoring of sitting back and giving the opponents too much space, considering we matched them we still stood of too much after we scored our first, and mainly for the rest of the game. Why when marv and pack play do they put marv forward and Pack back (oh a poet and didnt know it, making a rhyme all the time lol). Marv is a hassling fighting ball winner but cant pass for toffee, whereas at least pack can pick a pass aswell as win tackles! i agree Baldock/Harewood up front, JET behind must be worth a try mustnt it?? Finally WTF is going on with the bloody toilets at Swindle, makes our crappy bogs look like the ritz!!!!
Reid and Bryan in the midfield is too lightweight, We need pack and Elliott in the team just to and some bite to the midfield. Hoping for tomorrows game we see a 3 man midfield in a 4-3-3 formation Parish Moloney Flint Williams Cunningham Pack Elliott Bryan JET Harewood Baldock
