    Momentum and optimism... gone?

    The reasons why fans are still upset with Sisu remain the same. They have not changed. Can’t be bothered to list everything again but they are still the biggest stumbling block to getting the infrastructure right for sustained progress. As to what people think of them, that was clear the moment...

    Team v Scunthorpe

    Biamou instead of JCH and I think we will have a new striker by then so Ponti on the bench.

    Peterborough game moved to Friday 23rd November

    I want Sisu out and that remains the number one priority for the well being of our club. I also want Wasps to follow them as they are a franchise club taken from their true location (the south east) by a bunch of business men who disregarded that club’s roots and history to planted them in a...

    Sunderland poll

    I was at the game too and although there was a bit of an outcry at the time of the game, I can never remember any animosity at all over the intervening years until recently. I have watched us play Sunderland, who to their credit, always bring a good away following, lots of times at Highfield...

    O'Brien Wanted by Eastleigh

    Westwood available on a free from Wednesday apparently.

    Same for me. I’ve watched the RoI a few times but would get far more excited and involved watching City.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    You are really hoping that someone will break their leg simply because they have left our football club? If that wish is genuine what does that say about you as a human being?

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    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...

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

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

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    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...

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    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...

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    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...

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    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...

    Jodi Jones

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

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    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...

    Do you sense a change?

    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...

    Do you sense a change?

    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...
