Swindon post match reflections

[Heliosphan78]

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

Where's the "like" button? 🤣

Just missing McGuckin to be fair.

[Stansmate]

No doubt gaffer dropped a right bawlock today - unless there?s somethin we dont know yet

Kick in the teeth for those who cheered him on at Barnsley

Psss poor

eFfing Abominable Cup strikes again.

Clearly Hammy didn't fancy it, but a trip to WH Lane would have been a nice day out.

[GlennMiller]

Take nothing away from Swindon - they were excellent. Played it out from the back, cut through our midfield with ease, even when down to 10 men, and totally deserved their win.

Hugill and McWilliams would have had more impact on the game if they'd have sat with me in the north stand. Atrocious.

On the plus side; Duncan looks the part, solid and technically sound; Gardner also looked useful up front - particularly when compared to the efforts of Hugill and Sheriff in that position. However, Douglas looks raw - decent in the air but very suspect on the ground.

Another forgettable early exit from the FA Cup.

I'm not into digging out players but for godsake send Jack Holmes out on loan in January or better still, sell him. We should have kept McGuckin before him.

A truly terrible footballer who would be better off cleaning tables in Tesco cafe in Rotherham.

Yeah, and look who went and got him and paid money to bring him in from an old pals club……but he came on and made an effort, which can be more than said for half who played.

The club had the chance of 47,750 pounds in the coffers with a win.
Plus a 2nd round tie, with a payout, win or lose
A win in the 2nd round might have brought a premier club, another decent payday.

Instead the club ends up with 15,800 pounds in the coffers.

It would seem that the manager got it all wrong today, but a wins in the FA cup,
& a game against a premier league club, would have brought money in, which
in respect paid Hugill's salary for the rest of the season.
I have missed games for the last 8 weeks, so can't comment on games I've missed,
due to my wife being / still is in hospital after having life saving operation for this
period of time.

Ericslad wish your wife well & you. Can't have been easy for you.

My 16 year son would come on and make an effort, doesn't mean he's good enough.

Anyway, I've heard Tesco are in conversation with the club. Looking to take him on loan in January with a view to a permanent deal in the summer. I think it's an opportunity for the lad.

Sorry, just annoyed at today.

Bloody ell Elk, sometimes football takes a distant 2nd place to real life, so fingers, and every other thing I can think of, crossed for your Mrs Elk.

Sorry to hear this Eric hope everything goes ok pal.

[Townerslovechild]

Few positives really, decent first half, but needed a second goal, Douglas did well, and so did Duncan when he eventually came on.
Gore, Powell and Dawson had good games,but Huggy at CB, surely there were better options.
Sheriff looks a million miles away from match fitness, and Nombe can't last a game yet,get Josh Ayres in the squad, at least he's fit.
Plus,more injured players by the sounds of it, bad day all round.

[caytonmiller]

More worried about going forward than the fa cup exit.
From tizer
