Swindon post match reflections

[Yak]

garbage I guess ?

garbage I guess ?

Even worse, nobody cares as evidenced by the attendance and activity on here. Sad times

I am a big Hammy fan but he has got that really wrong today. I am fuming.

How to kill a good vibe and stall momentum in one afternoon.

To play a seriously under strength team and a bench that most of us had never heard of was unforgiveable

I only hope Hammy comes out and says there is covid in the camp- that is the only rational explanation for that team selection. Otherwise he has disrespected the competition, the opposition, and the fans

We now go into a match against Burton on the back foot, Martha's confidence is now shot to bits and poor Clarke at full back looked distraught after getting stick from the crowd.

Hugill at centre half?

The feel good factor has disintegrated.

Terrible game second half as soon as nombe spark went off. Dawson did well again, not, helping them with the equaliser…..someone buy please.

[avondalemiller]

As soon as Hugill went to C/H and Sherif came on it was game over. The ball just came straight back every time. Sherif is shocking trying to play up front with a target man. He never wins any headers, for a man his size makes you wonder why. If he cant do it in this league then there's no hope for him.

Swindon played 3 up front and were well supported by the midfield and we couldn't cope, and struggled to get out, we hardly ever got anywhere near their goal in open play.

The whole afternoon shows how fragile we are, as results and performances ping pong about.

[Tigerish]

At 9.45pm Tuesday we will have a better idea of the viability of this squad and management.
Maybe today made sense. We shall see. But I like to win. Every time

[millersrus]

What happened 2nd half?
Should have been out of sight and cruising at half time. Same old story, don?t take your chances when you?re on top and it will come back and haunt you.
Positives, good performances from the youth team players. Duncan looked the part when he came on.
Dawson MOM
Another year and no FAcup run, 55 years watching, maybe I?m the jinx.

Tuesday's match against Burton is far more important to us than winning a cup tie and if MH has rested these players for that,I fully support him.Let's get six points from the next two home matches.

[Jocksgloves1]

Should have gone in 3 up. As soon as the second half started, it was a different game. Lost Nombe and our dominant centre-half, then it was a matter of when they would score two goals.
Dawson prevented a hammering, but the team was much too weak to respond. Maybe we should pay a fine and not enter next season?

Totally disagree, if all the players missing today are injured then questions have to be asked at how players are getting so many injuries after playing one or two games, how fragile are these footballers? It has to be illness and injuries because if it isn?t Hamshaw needs to take a serious look at himself in the mirror. He would have thrown away momentum but also ?50k, can we afford to treat the cups like we do? Cup runs earn money, it was stated by Newport when they had their cup run a few years back it earned them enough money to keep the club going for 3 seasons!!!. You talk about the league as if we are a top club looking for promotion, we are 15th and haven?t been in the top half for more than 3 weeks in 1.25 seasons. We made no attempt to win that game when they went down to 10 men, we lost a game at home to a L2 team with 10 men, and the manager gets your backing, unbelievable. Some awful decisions by Hamshaw today. The bright points of today were Douglas and Duncan, both were excellent. How is Duncan not in and around the match-day squad, that lad has something and with all the injuries we get and the fact we play 3 CBs every game means we need 4 in every squad you have to have Douglas or Duncan on the bench.

I agree with this 100% it was a cowardly set up and performance.
It’s arrogance we are not going up so why not give it a proper go.
The game was like MH attempt to clap the supporters who turned up the end pathetic and arrogant.
Manager totally to blame.

We have a far better chance of getting in the playoffs than we have of getting to the fourth round.

[Heliosphan78]

We played without defenders for most of that game. Out of courtesy you would have thought Swindon would have played without strikers, but they didn't.

As I said in the match thread, an absolutely winnable game but we didn't show up. Shocking performances from various regular players, Sherif, Martha, Powell, Gore. Just not good enough from any of them, and against 10 men.

Well done to Swindon, they totally deserved it.

Fuming at the club right now, waste of time going.

Hammy reads this forum and went with a gwru formation in the 2nd half...
