Swindon post match reflections

[Yak]

Most of the above were in the stands and not many were hobbling so I would expect 3 or 4 being available for Tuesday... I guess it's a fine line for hamshaw between taking a risk and crocking them for 2 months or resting them for a cup nobody seems interested in.
James came off holding his ribs so unless it's a cracked rib I would expect seeing him available

The supporters deserve at least an effort to produce a cup run. Hamshaw imo got it wrong yesterday. Yes we have injuries but he imo wasn’t interested in getting a result. So basically it’s ok for us to pay to go and it’s ok for him to send out a team lacking in impetus because after twenty minutes that what’s happened. Why aren’t we giving it a go in the cup? It’s arrogant of him to think it doesn’t matter enough. I’m annoyed at his attitude after the game yesterday. It mattered more to the opposition that’s for sure. I’m not happy with him at all after yesterday. What’s that saying you can fool some of the people some of the time and so on.

If we had incentivised contracts (ie wages) based on availability .....there would be a miraculous return to fitness.
We need to sort this injury nonsense out once and for all.
As stated previously we never had any of this bollox in the 60s 70s 89s 90s etc etc.
But it's ever so cosy n the sick bay when it's cold dark and rainy

Missed an opportunity to make some cash though pal and Tony won't have been impressed.

If I was a player/coach I would have looked at the way the club ownership treated the game regarding the fan base and thought if they don't give a **** why should I.

Matt will stand or fall based on league results/position. When I worked I knew how my performance was measured and what constituted 'success ' and I focused my efforts/priorities on ensuring that was achieved, he's doing exactly the same and I won't criticise him for it.

Disagree a club the size of ours needs money from cup runs etc. if his priority is just the league then he’s behind target for sure. I don’t buy it and I don’t think he does he’s just saying what he thinks we want to hear. It’s not fooling most sensible people. His lack of ambition yesterday was criminal.

Getting to the 2nd round & winning
would have brought over 75,000 pounds.
3rd round win - Over 115,000 pounds
4th round win - Over 120,000 pounds
Plus share of gate money.

Remember Maidstone getting to the
5th round of the FA Cup.
Lost 0-5 to Coventry City

Maidstone got 351,375 pounds from
their FA Cup exploits.
Big money to a non-league club.

Thanks lads for kind words.

Yes Eric all the best to you and your wife
As regards yesterday I must admit I don’t understand our injury woes, we all thought they were clearing up and being the cynic I am being as we have won 5 on the trot thought (stupidly) the players would be busting a gut to get in the team and stay there competition etc, the opposite has happened when MH was interviewed on Thursday it was stated there were niggles for Kelly Spence and Raggett (no surprise there) but nothing serious, then come Saturday all our centre halves plus Benson are injured, as said above we really must look at this as regards future recruitment and training methods
