we managed to do well when JET had his extended run.. I think this occasion may be on the cards for a good'un.. but is it a gamble?
Jet must surely by on his way SC does not rate him. But on for 5 minutes and created the third goal. He makes things happen Agard doesn't . Such a shame
Being a forward is all about confidence, and at the moment he has none. How many forwards have come here with big reputations and failed badly the first year and went onto do well the second or worse with another club? Agard last night ran his socks of and forced them into that mistake for the first goal. Maybe Cotterill see's Agard as a battler which JET ain't yes he scored cracking goals, but when in the past two seasons has he ever been a backs to the wall battler. Someone who will give you 100% blood and sweat when you need them too? With JET you roll the dice and see what player turns up, the one who will be give me the ball I want to create something special or the one who will stroll around the pitch. Don't become like Red Robin, he would even give JET man of the match for those last ten minutes.
Usually before a game (on twitter) when JET isn't starting i'll have a little moan.... I didn't last night. Just had a feeling Agard would score....but up until he did I thought, why the bleedin hell is he on the pitch! but a bit like Korey a lot of his work goes unnoticed, unlike JET, everything he does good or bad gets highlighted. Give Agard his due he worked his bollocks off last night, as he does every game and he got his reward, and what a lovely dink it was too.
Jet can be a game changer, often against tired down defenders which helps. He is a nice guy and has got skill. However his athleticism is not good enough for the championship unfortunately. He will always do well in a league 1 team though. On the other hand Agard is a player who runs his heart out and battles every time for the ball. His running and work rate goes unnoticed and often he tires out the defense for JET. He often receives bad service which is why he appears to be nothing. He has potential to do well in the championship if the ball is played well around him in the right way.
Life is about opinions and I guess there is only one that counts and that's SC's. The fact is that we are top of the league but in my opinion we have not done it with style. There have been too many matches (like last nights) when we seem to give up the midfield and defend a 1-0 lead. Perhaps I am just getting grumpy in my old age. No not getting but already arrived. Ultimately however Agard was bought as a goal scorer and he really has not delivered. I don't think either he or Jet are good enough for the Championship
Right boys here goes Firstly how we went in 1-0 up at half time was beyond belief,Swindon were much the better side. Secondly our midfield was non existent last night,Swindon just went through it like butter,pack is okay when the opposition is not hounding you.Elliott would have been the better option,he can battle,get out of tight spaces,and can score and battle. Thirdly Agard ran his butt of and yes scored,but he runs around a lot,but surely he needs to do more that that.Jet came on and in ten minutes created the third goal.Enough said on that one. Did we deserve a three nil win of course not,I have to say Swindon were the best side at the gate this season. But it was sweet revenge for there antics at the county ground. There fans were very quiet considering how many were there last night,ours i thought were electric. Preston here we come,bring em on,can't wait.
An objective opinion but unfortunately there are many fans who can see beyond the tribal support of their team. Having said that in my pub they are in the majority. I go to football to see good football and hope we win. Others don't. Incidentally I think MK Dons were the best team I have seen this year. As for City they have the greater experience and that has seen them through
Not delivered? He has 11 goals from 31 starts they are a lot of strikers who would like a one in three ratio
Right boys here goes 'Firstly how we went in 1-0 up at half time was beyond belief' Sorry. What was beyond belief is how we didn't have 2 penalties awarded and Branco being sent off in the first half. As for us : Fielding was excellent. Agard took his goal well and really worked hard chasing lost causes, so fair play. Have to say the Swindon defender who 'played him on' wouldn't get a game on the Downs. Shocking defending. Loved Joe Bryan's goal in particular. Ashton Gate was great last night.
Having watched Agard's goal on the TV replays I'm still convinced it came off the defender before hitting the net, not that it matters...it went in. Agree with Red Robin though. Due to the total incompetence of the officials we could easily have gone in 1 or more behind at Half Time. Swindon looked dangerous on a lot of occasions. Fielding was excellent but.... Agard worked hard, and scored, but... Wilbs worked hard, and scored, but...... Bryan's goal was pure class Freeman was excellent but frustratingly again, over thinks or gives the ball away when in threatening positions.
Mk dons were the best I've seen By contrast I thought that Preston were white when we played them earlier on in the year. They must be better than that though as they ate second.
"Fielding was excellent, but"...and has been excellent all season. "Agard worked hard, and scored,but"...assisted Bryan in our second goal. "Wilbs worked hard, and scored, but"...scored his 19th goal of the season. What are all the buts about.
