I think the abuse for McNullty is sad. As has been mentioned by a lot of posters, the career is short and can be ended by a bad tackle. Loyalty doesn’t really exist either way. Some people were giving him dog’s abuse for the first half of the season ( remember his cupped ear gesture when he...

Not if Robin’s didn’t rate him, even as a number two. You do want Burge to improve and become a better keeper?

I think this is a little mean spirited. If you wanted to look at the relegation season it would be easier to say who played well. Not many candidates for that. Willis was a member of that very poor defence but I think was tremendous last season and is probably first choice centre half and one of...

I thought Burge was the top League Two keeper? Just checked, can see no mention of a fee being paid for RCC? It would have been hard to drop a keeper who had not made a mistake or conceded in the first two league games. Not a message that Robins would want to give out. However RCC was on the...

I thought that RCC went for free, I didn’t think there was a fee involved. Strange decision for Swindon to pay a fee for a player and then release him for nothing after less than a season. That is beside the point really as it was clear that Burge was Robin’s number one from the previous season...

I recently read Jim Brown’s book on the 1967 Second Division winning team. He gives accounts of the games as the season progresses. There must have been four or five occasions in that season where Bill Glazier was perceived as being at fault for a goal conceded. I would think that this would be...

I haven’t noticed him ducking out of tackles either.

I think the signing of LOB was more an indication of how Robins felt about RCC than his opinion on Burge. The fact that there seems to be no movement on bringing in a keeper to replace him, plus the fact that whenever LOB played he was replaced as soon as Burge was fit would seem to indicate...

Not justifying his signings but would certainly question how much he had to spend. I don't remember his top ten claim but that would seem to contradict his leaving comments. Certainly wages they were on is only a guess. There have been several threads suggesting Sisu have changed. There is no...

There is no evidence he had a top ten budget either. Mowbray was hardly splashing the cash in his final season. His parting message was that for this club to be successful the owners would one day have to back the manager. Now Mowbray could have been lying. However he always came across as...

If the budget set doesn’t allow the footballing side of things to function then they are.

I think the article was saying the opposite of that. Mortimer was urging him to stay at City saying the grass isn’t always greener. The fact the story was aired was only a reflection of the speculation on McNulty’s future among fans, many on here debating if he will stay for example.

Maddison injury and then sale (he didn’t perform when on loan) and the decision to allow OBrien to leave, plus the injury to Johnson cost us dear. It was still an excellent turn around from being on the brink of relegation in the last game of the previous season to finishing eighth the next. The...

What are the chances that this will be the end of the JR route for Sisu? It it likely to be the end of that road today? If so can they still mount other legal actions?

Mowbray turned around a team that had almost been relegated to one that was challenging for two thirds of the season. He did this mainly with the use of loans, the acquisition of Vincelot and the form of Fleck. This team has momentum, they are more settled and have shown in cups games last...

Yep. Have to agree to disagree. I was sitting in the Main Stand so maybe had a better perspective than you!

Hopefully we will play the first team. Two years ago there would have been a massive gap between the clubs. Hopefully now we can give them a game.

Maybe they could make that an annual “friendly” for the next few years and alternate the ground ( if Wasps ever let us play a friendly at the Ricoh).

I disagree. I was there. Now that goal was a long time ago but I can still see it in my minds eye and it was from the half way line.
