Howe wanted out though right? Can we stop pretending he would have been fine as number 2? Or even ready?? Where you getting that from? He looked fine in his appearances. Why wouldn't he be ok for No 2? Who do we have that's better currently? A converted academy CB who is ooc or a Brazilian, apparen...

THis Talk of not throwing players in at the deep end or them not ‘being ready’ is ridiculous. McIntyre is not 17. He’s 21. He is more than old enough, big enough, good enough. Since he made his debut he has looked at home. Just stick him in the team and let him play ! Rino and Olise pretty much too...

Why on earth would we need a young keeper? We've just moved on some decent ones because we had loads and loaned a total Turkey.

Is anyone else struggling with the point of Araruna btw? Defensive midfielder who can play RB. Signed when we released one of our young back up RBs. Has had very few minutes, split between RB and CM. Looked lost in midfield to me and handy at RB. We're now apparently converting a young CB to RB. It ...

Why not play Osho and McIntyre and centre back and rest Morrison? If Moore leaves we need to see if both of them can step up. I think they both can. Give Araruna a chance at right back to see if he can understudy Yiadom. We need to have a season where we don’t end up bringing in another 9 or 10 pla...

East won’t make it here IMO, reminds me of a Jake Taylor type of player, league 2 level Shift Araruna into CM, Osho to RB and McIntyre into CB. Or use a back three with Osho, McIntyre and Morrison instead Also add a couple more onto the bench, 9 players there instead of 7 That does seem likely with...

I guess the big proviso of our last 6 games is that the ones we didn't lose were all against teams in the bottom 8 and the 3 teams we did beat have picked up a combined total of 17 points from their last 6 games, less than a point a game. So we beat the dross, are reasonably competative against OK ...

Wondering if we could see something like this for the last couple of games maybe... .........................Cabral Araruna, Morrison, Osho, Richards ................Rinomhota, East Nevers, ............Olise,........ Baldock ..........................Meite Subs: CBC, McIntyre, Gunter, Swift, Ejaria...

Run out of material and had to go back to that already OMA? Tsk tsk tsk.

Rino, Olise and Tmac didn’t need 20 games, they looked the part straightaway. You can’t give many players 20 games to settle in without ruining your season. I know. And I didn't say we should give everyone 20 games. I said if we can give Loader 20 odd, we can give others more (than Nova or Stacey g...

Do you think? I thought he looked completely out of his depth in pre-season and, he got a brief run out vs Sheffield Wednesday and did nothing. He clearly wasn't up to it otherwise he'd still be here. You can't keep playing average academy players for sentiment in the hope they'll be good enough if...

Last sentence is the key bit really Because this time last year, there were plenty of people (myself included) almost saying exactly what you were now, that the future looks bright etc with the academy except referring to the likes of Loader, Novakovich and Howe instead. None of those three are her...

Old Man Andrews

Stranded Target for Tuesday has to be to get in the top half. If we win, with Bristol and QPR not playing until Weds we can jump ahead of both and be 12th for 24 hours at least.

Wow what an achievement......

What, do you expect to go from 20th to 5th or something?

It would be quite disappointing if McIntyre didn't get to play a good 20 games next season. He looks very comfortable and skillful.

Same for Olise, although I'd expect a fair few more of his as a substitute maybe.

Hope to see Holsgrove in double figures too.

Do you want us to help you out ?
You meant convert losses to draws and draws to wins.

How's that ?
You're welcome

Yes, obviously that's what I meant. I was tired.

We need to give you a free transfer to the Swindon Town football messageboard.

Good lord, not even OMA deserves that.

We could have a very promising future with a spine of: .........................McIntyre, Richards ...........Rinomhota ......................Olise And that's just Academy graduates with a few caps between them already. Southwood doesn't seem far off in goal. Holsgrove too. Plus there's East, Never...

We drew with Stoke! The point stands though. Our away form is good enough for a play off push but yet again our home form has been so poor. Yes, I meant convert losses to draws and draws to losses. Doh. Do you want us to help you out ? You meant convert losses to draws and draws to wins. How's that...

Bowen’s away record must be very good Just the home form to sort out From a rough count, I make it: Away: P15, W6, D5, L4 - 1.5 ppg Home: P15, W6, D3, L6 - 1.4 ppg Convert a couple of those home losses to draws (like Stoke) and it ain't too bad at all. As is, over a season it's 67 points, solidly t...
