    Swindon have been in freefall for a while

    and along come City and help them out, a shambles, who knows what garbage the club is left with at the end of Jan

    No fight in this team, the Donny game shaping up to be a "laugher" of epic proportions

    They've been in absolute free fall, but they occasionally won a game here and there.

    I suspect our own free fall might be more dramatic than theirs...

    Well after watching that first half just who couldn't he take off, we're poor in all positions from back to front, if Young can't get game time in this match I give up. Halliday running his arse off the rest piss poor, this lot are hardly Real Madrid but we sure are making them look like it, defence static, midfield static and our front two offering nothing when they do get the ball.
    There has to be at least two changes at half time three if he fancies getting back into this game, we have nothing to lose give Pointon and Young a run out Alexander.

    I think Mcdonald would be a better manager than GA. . . . . oh wait!

    Correct. This "worst ever" narrative is laughable. I can think of plenty of terrible 45 minutes during seasons ending 2010, 2011 and 2012. Problem is I can remember too many.LOL!!

    I'd rather their lad have to shoot at an angle with Taylor on his shoulder than a tap in from the penalty spot. Stubbs should have been restricting the pass while trying to cover the goal, in my opinion

    Swindon have got a couple of pacey runners players off Austin and our defence can’t cope. They’re also able to mix it up, passing into feet and occasionally going long to Austin. We could do something similar with our players but instead we just aimlessly hoof it

    What a bloody awful 45mins... Tactics are aimless long punts that wont work in a month of Sundays.
    And that back three, they're abysmal.
    Not only their distribution is sunday league quality, as soon as a bit of pace runs at them the cart-horses lack of pace is really highlighted.
    Not a part of that team is functioning.
    Maybe Halliday is performing adequately.
    This is quite damming stuff.
    Fingers crossed for a Notts County style turnaround or this could possibly be a 4/5 nil drubbing !!

    I just can’t watch this. Let’s hope there are two teams worse but it is hard to imagine. This mess cannot continue.

    Taylor is so slow that Stubbs has to get across to stop his man, leaving the lad in the middle free because Kelly was nowhere to be seen.

    Shambles.

    We don’t deserve this as supporters. Ive been I lifelong fan for over 30 years and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so abhorrent about city. Even during the Peter Taylor days and that was grim. Last season provided light relief but in general, we have been on a downward spiral for 5 years. Very worrying times for city and I fear next season will be worse with the reduced season ticket uptake that will surely ensue.

    I think away to Morecambe just pips this performance but who knows what the second half could bring, it could take the title for worse performance of the season yet.

    FGR and Sutton are absolutely atrocious, so we are very, very lucky.

    He had no choice mate otherwise their lad had a free shot on goal because Taylor wasn't catching him to put any pressure on.

    The problem was, where was Kelly? He should have been covering for Stubbs but all we see is Halliday trying to get back.

    We were as bad down at Wimbledon - they simply didn't take their chances. Got stuffed at MK Dons and lost at Sutton of all places.

    We've been largely poor all season and the quality of players we have, should be doing better. The fact that they are not, is the most worrying factor. It basically means they're not performing for three different managers.

    Anything better than the three up front we have on at the moment. Smith offside in the position he was in , and Cook passing back to the keeper with his head,
    oh I can get further back than that for abject failure!
