The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: Swindon Town vs Bradford City Tuesday 18th April 2023 @ 7:45pm

Hi there, Swindon fan here.
We are very poor at the moment and also very boring. Our style of play has fans wanting to bring a book to games. We have a lot of possession, but most of that is along the back line as we endlessly go from side to side. We don't attack with pace, we don't cross and we don't shoot. We had one shot on target the entire game against Barrow and that came in the 90th minute. The atmosphere is flat, Jody Morris is as boring to listen to as his style of play and the players just look like they're going through the motions.
Since Morris has arrived we have got progressively worse and in 30 years of watching Swindon, this is the most bored I've ever been. We don't look like winning another game, so really you should beat us. If you score first it'll be game over. Morris' 'tactical changes' are always like for like and change nothing at all, so I would expect Hughes to out tactic him.
Honestly, things are so bad, if we hadn't amassed the points earlier in the season we would be in relegation trouble.
We want Morris out, as he's out of his depth, clueless and dire. I hope you don't get bored to death watching this game and your team entertain you. As for us, we'll be falling asleep. There is ZERO entertainment on offer for us Town fans.
Good luck....

 

Late late decision, finished work on time so jumped on a train at Paddington and I'm off to Swindon!
Can't wait!
Big 3 points please!

 

Decided on driving down to this one with my daughter.

Anyone know a good therapist?

 

Good luck to Luke but it's a big worry.

 

No manager in their right mind would drop the leagues leading goalscorer in the last 4 games. I can't even believe it's being discussed.

 

Imagine after watching us throw the game away you have a 4 hour journey home, you have my sympathy guys,

 

I've posted similar about Cook but unfortunately he did have what were for him simple chances tonight that 9 times out of 10 he hits the back of the net.
The ball in tonight from Banks was very similar to the one against Grimsby that Derbyshire put across and he finished it like he'd do in training, tonight he seemed to snatch at it and made a right mess of it, that goes in after 15 minutes were on our way but he was not alone with regards poor finishing tonight, I don't have a problem with players missing but make the keeper work, the one that rolled out to Smallwood he should have done better that hitting the top of the stand.

 

Well that was a long arse drive!

I don't get the negativity on here though. Imagine we've already played Crewe and picked up a win with Stevenage also winning their game. That would mean we're 3 points (with a better goal difference) behind 3rd placed Northampton and we've also got to play them.

Promotion is in our own hands and some of you lot are acting like we're miles away from even sneaking in 7th.

We dominated that first half, didn't score and slowly Swindon grew into the game and nicked it late.That's just football at this level.

So onto Gillingham, 3 more points and reading everyone on here posting that we're somehow still going up as champions!

 

Banana skin written all over this one. How many times have we managed to lose to a team on an horrendous run of form? They are also a bogy team at their place - very few wins over the years. If we win this, then I will get proper giddy!!!

 

Come on Park. If you can't look forward to these games in our position, what's the point. I get you may be nervous, but it's not often we are chasing promotion

 

At least it's not Threlkeld.

 

amazing how many negative loons come out of the woodwork on the back of ONE bad performance in a long while ............

 

Amazes m that the same team that has done really well for a long while now are suddenly crap on the back of one bad performance my god you would have been over the moon to be in this position after the Barrow loss ......... just fooking calm down before the mass meltdowns arrive ............... last thing they need on Saturday is a load of doom merchants arriving on mass praying they lose just to roll on here at 5pm and say “ I told you so “

 

I hear what your saying and agree when Cook doesn't score or has for him an off night we look poor as a team, as poor as he and others were last night I'm not sure Hughes has too many who would be in the starting 11, that looked a very positive starting 11 last night bar Halliday.
Would Hughes go with the same 9 and bring Derbyshire and Halliday in to start I can't see many more who would strengthen that 11, Nevers was poor after another bright start and if he picked Pereira which Pereira would turn up.

 

I can accept that but go back and look at results without Cook in the side.

If we had an alternative then fine but dropping the highest scorer in the football league at the business end of the season, when we also don't have a genuine replacement is absolute suicide!

Goals give Cook confidence, not a few games sat getting splinters in his arse!

 

I agree some will say Cook doesn't look the same player and is going through a lean spell (as you say not scored in two games) but Hughes would be a mad man with 4 Cup finals to play to even contemplate dropping Cook.
Without doubt the chance Cook missed was poor but I think Critchlow should have scored from his header and for a player of his pedigree Smallwood should have done far better with his chance, everything about the ball coming out to him set him up for a strike on goal but to miss hit it like he did was poor IMO https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/league-two/12860562/swindon-1-0-bradford-league-two-highlights, having said that Lewis made two saves that kept us in the game, maybe we didn't do enough overall to win the game but we certainly deserved something from it.

 

We should all be excited it doesn’t happen very often. It is pointless worrying about losing. Drysdale, or anything else. What will be will be. We are in the best form of the season, just at the right time. Enjoy the anticipation

 

Wireless saying it’s an impact injury, but watching on iFollow, I’m seeing Chapman holding his hamstring. I think he did it before he hit the boards.

 

Worst opinion I've read here recently
