  • Welcome to The Valley, let’s hope he bucks the trend and we have a likeable and popular Ben involved with the club!

    :-) 
    Ben Kensell I'll accept but Hamer and Purrington?
  • Welcome Ben....wish you much success!!  :)
  • Hope all the snipers can now put their rifles away for a couple of months at least and give this guy a chance to get a footing. 

    We need supporters to start supporting
    Controversial!

    🙂

    Welcome Ben, this is a pretty decent appointment.  If he's half as good as these we're in for a treat (cue 'knows his onions' and other pickle puns)
  • If you think that’s strange you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

  • Just spoke to a mate who is a Swindon season ticket holder and he said he is sorry to see him go. Only doubt he said was he never seemed to have a plan B. Mmmm

    Welcome just the same.
    Least we at least have a plan A now. 

    Pep Guardiola only has a Plan A.
    JJ used a Plan B against Morecambe after the shocking 3rd goal conceded but only one person mentioned that George Dobson was pushed forward to attack the oppositions box, hence why he nearly won a penalty and blasted that late shot wide. 

    Man Utd struggled in Europe for years until Fergie realized if you had 4 class strikers then they will get you out the shite even if two come off the bench late on.

    Pep Talk Garner is his own man and he has 100% support from me just like JJ did until his last day.

    Why is he being interviewed inside Martin’s Blackbox? 
    Think it's a bunker so he can avoid those snipers AFKA mentioned....

    Welcome, BG & wish you every success in this new challenge. 
  • Welcome Ben. 

    See you guys on the next manager thread in December.

    Just kidding! 
  • Well, blow me, never saw that coming.

    In too many games last season (and the season before) it looked like our team walked onto the pitch without a plan altogether. 

    Hopefully we now have a manager that can instill a sense of dicipline and pattern of play that works. 
    It’s bizarre. Jacko’s first game at Sunderland you could see the plan and we were disciplined and organised and deserved the win. Fast forward to Sheffield Wednesday away and we were all the over place, midfield sliced open with ease and we were well beaten. Two drastic performances in quite a short space of time. 
  • attacking football is OK as long as your win

    welcome Ben
  • I'm actually really excited about this one. No-one can guarantee success but at the very least we appear to have brought in a manager who will try and introduce an attacking style after the turgid dreck we've had for the past few years. He's got very recent experience of coming into a club in need of a big squad rebuild and very quickly getting results. Was 3 points off automatics last season. Swindon fans can talk about a lack of plan B all they want but when you score more goals than anyone else in the division wondering why you don't just lump it up top for once is a pretty decent summary of how ridiculous football fans are. The recruitment will be important now but that's our next challenge. Fingers crossed even if we don't have total success we can still enjoy some of the football next season
    I almost feel like we have won something...
  • If nothing else we know he can put together a squad at short notice and get it playing to a plan. Maybe only one plan but it's a plan that worked before and hopefully will again.

    You'd like to think this would not have taken so long if Sandgaard wasn't 100% sure that third time is the charm and this is his long term choice. Let's just hope that faith is not misplaced.

    Enjoy that feeling while you can. 
  • As long as our plan A and the players executing it is better than the oppos then no other plan is needed.

     You'll not win every game but so long as you win the vast majority that will be enough.
