The Voice - Match preview Swindon Town vs Bradford City Saturday 27th January 2024 3:00pm

They train all week for this ?????
From top to bottom this is the result of poor planning


Btw bless the the Swindon co commentator for making up excuses for us

 

Cook just missed a sitter… thats 1 chance.. only 14 more before he scores!!

 

Oh Mr Cook . The entire goal and into the arms of the keeper in the middle of the goal.

 

Time for Sparks to get his due diligence checklist out again.

 

They're very astute!...

 

Well, it has been for the last 6 games so why change now.

 

It was a nonsensical appointment. I've no idea whether GA is a good manager, and I'm not agitating for his sacking - because the context is so f****d. His philosophy is so, so different from Hughes, that it was always going to be a car crash unless his appointment was backed by a proper structural change and rebuild of the squad.

He's completely set up for failure, and its crucial that our focus go beyond analysis and critique of players or manager. Sparks and Rupp, that's where the debate needs to start and end. We're fundamentally broken.

 

Sparks Out !

 

Is anybody really surprised?
We can’t put 90 minutes together.

So many games recently we’ve been awful first half and only got something out of games with a vastly improved 2nd half.

 

Well he did say this was the most extensive recruitment campaign he’d undertaken lol. He should have plenty of idea about alternatives!

 

He's not the only one that needs to go.

 

Where's all them folk who, after the Stockport draw and Crewe loss, were saying we're only x points off the play offs and we could catch up etc etc etc...??

Never had a chance. We're struggling to finish top of the bottom half of the table at this rate.

Looking forward to another Q&A with Ryan about mediocrity and commercial successes next week.

 

Like you say, set up to fail.

We'll never know if he's any good or not, because the circumstances surrounding his appointment have made success impossible. He won't last.

I blame him, though, for taking the job. He seems so naive. From having his mind blown that MK Dons actually wanted him to play a style of football and not being able to deliver, to just blindly taking the job here without doing any due diligence, to arguing with trolls in the T&A comments section every week...

Yes, it was ludicrous from Sparks, but he has to shoulder the blame for being in this situation in the first place.

 

2 - 0 shocking stuff.

 

0-2... oh dear, oh dear...

 

Diabolical first half. Get Tomkinson, McDonald, Young & Pointon at HT.

Major selection mistakes by GA.

 

Any diligent manager will take a proper look and go elsewhere. Like Cowley did.

 

Don't worry, there's still a week of the window to go and everyone knows that we're expecting 7 or 8 people to leave....

 

2 down. Absolute shite

 

I’m sorry but Smith and Odour MUST come off. Absolutely pathetic .
