We have somehow managed to be so bad that we made it look like we were playing in a hurricane.

Shite performance and it should be a wake up call for those fans who have buried their heads in the sand, although the other shite performances over the past 8 weeks should’ve done that.

Hurst is a bad transfer window from genuine pressure, no more excuses now because we’re sleep walking into mediocrity and it’s completely our fault.

Can you explain what you mean by ‘buried their heads in the sand’?

You couldnt wait to have a dig at those who differ from your point of view could you😂
Horrendous display, lack of any desire, Mcatee, Gav, Smith and Michee all had nightmares. Swindon targeted Amos and can see why. It genuinely could have been 9 or 10.

For goodness sake Paul, spend some money, Every other side has. Why arent we.

I'm normally pretty positive on here and a big fan of Hurst I've no doubt he is the man to sort it out.. however I'm concerned with how weak we look all over the park think next couple of players brought in need to be good league standard players who might cost a bit..

Record season ticket sales with those fans being treated to a poxy 3 home wins in the league

First half was pretty even. Could have been 1.0 up, should have equalised with Mcatees poor effort.
Second half was the worst 45 minutes I've seen from a Town side in ages. Couldn't get the ball often enough and when they did gave it away. Mcatee tried as did Maher and the mercurial Green but the rest stole a living today and let down nigh on 600 fans in the process.
Simply not good enough.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

This season is a bonus season when you look at where we were at this point last season and the 95th minute at Notts County. We're not getting relegated, it's as simple as that. Obviously I'd prefer it if we were challenging for the play offs but we're not. Unnecessary drama

While I do agree that Hurst and the board need to get on with it and start acquiring some players up to standard instead of this conservative "wait and see" tactic that Hurst uses for everything from subs to transfers, expecting us to bounce back into L2 first time and be dominating the league is a bit ambitious. Unless we have a free spending chairman who is willing to bankroll a team of Championship standards, we aren't going to dominate in this league and not going straight back down will be a realistic goal. Fans on here go from one extreme to the other based on if we win or lose. If we win then we are close to the playoffs and we are going to finish in them, if we lose then we are doomed, Hurst needs to be sacked and our season is a disaster.

If anybody here seriously expected us to be challenging for promotion and doing a double promotion in as many seasons I'd be asking "what planet do you live on?".

I don't think we will either but today's performance (and others recently) suggest we shouldn't be complacent about this.

Swindon were a real cut above today and showed how far we have to go before we can genuinely compete at the top end of the table. We're not particularly strong in any area but, for me, today again showed how we don't have any full backs on the books good enough to take us forward.
