I must get myself a Swindon shirt, I hope it is of good quality.
Anyway, if they can help us get out of this horrible decision that will do for me.0 -
Looking at their defensive stats last season (worst record in the top 10) Swindon did seem to adopt a policy of 'we don't care if you score 2, because we'll score 3'.NabySarr said:If we are playing a high press we will also have a high line. We need our last centre back signing to be quick (and ideally left footed). Otherwise I think we will be hit on the counter a lot next season
So i'm fully expecting some see-saw games this season.0 -

Must be two surely Joe and Mac, what else, they are our two goalkeepers after all...or is that a trick question..ecclesaddick said:How many Goalkeepers will be going to spain ?

Maybe, could be a shout. Depends on what Gardner thinks about Elerewe's levelLeuth said:1 -
I’m including Elewere, he’s highly rated and a year wiser, he’s gotta be thrown in at some point, and even then it’ll only be when there are injuries.J BLOCK said:

At the age of 30, a full 7 years younger than Sol Bamba, he's not been offered a new contract, is injury prone and on a hefty wedge (I suspect). He's so 'last year' given our current strategy though and I can't see it myself. However, if there is any truth in it, then perhaps because we're allowed 5 subs now, we'd look to interchange him and Inniss every game at half time. If that is the plan, which I don't believe it is, it's a very high risk one imo.Cafc43v3r said:In a lot of ways it makes sense but in even more it doesn't. Would give us the physical domination in both boxes we lack when Inniss is, permanently, injured.

Proud to have been alongside you and Lancs lad, Muttley when we worked out Southall as soon as he opened his mouth and the window opened, even if we were called "bed wetters" regarding the odious Southall.
Thomas is hands on which he is entitled to do but as the person who said since Nigel Adkins joined Charlton that managers must have the casting vote on the "committee", felt the same for Jackson and now Garner.
Early days but its important that Ben Garner is in charge of the football and that he has the final say on incoming players when they aren't from Swindon ( out of contract or not)
TS has learnt lessons from last season but the real test is still to come as in my crystal ball l see a lot of draws to start with as players will be unwilling to play a long pass but instead just play a short pass so we retain possession.
Without watching Swindon games from start to finish last season what tempo did Swindon play at to create chances ? Plus why did they concede the most goals in the top ten of League 2. Rhetorical question as they obviously had players going forward and caught out in transition would be one reason.
Looking forward to seeing the Garner plan and hope to see more players to implement his strategy.0 -

Does assume we keep Inniss though. We activated his extension but it doesn't mean if other players more suitable become available we won't pass him on. He cost us nothing and we pay him barely anything, he would be very easy to move in. I feel like replacing an injury prone player with another injury prone player who would cost more in salary doesn't make a lot of sense thoughCafc43v3r said:In a lot of ways it makes sense but in even more it doesn't.

Payne is a good player and probably shouldn’t have been in League Two in the first place.P.S he’s from East London2

Jack Payne was offered to us last season, we weren't interested..14

Same logic that presumes just because a player is coming down from a league above... that they are automatically better than players from the league below.Scoham said:
Such a black and white way of thinking. Win the playoffs = they’re top L2 players, lose the playoffs = they can’t be that good as they’re still in L2.DA9 said:
The new manager knows the two players we’ve signed, and obviously Marshall,I see nothing wrong with that.MuttleyCAFC said:

People claiming we shouldn’t be signing them because they didn’t win the play offs is crazy.
They were a Josh Davison penalty away from Wembley and 3 points off automatic promotion. It can come down to an error or two made by individual players. And of course within their squad they’ll have a range of ability with their better players the ones we’ve signed or are looking to sign.
Only have to look at out loan signings last season to show that it's absolute bollox.1 -
Probably different now with Garner here, seems the pull of him and new outlook in general could well mean another Swindon link on the cards..Redhenry said:Jack Payne was offered to us last season, we weren't interested..4 -

Payne played on the right of their midfield 3 last season. Forster-Caskey has played left and right side of CM before for us so I don’t see that being an issue. Fraser on the left with JFC/Payne on the right will work fineCafc43v3r said:
Payne probably isn't that likely to come to us, we already have Fraser and JFC. A right footed version would be what we want.RedRobin said:1 -

Looks like him and Williams did swap about a lot during games and of course you need depth and competition. Would be a good signing but maybe not a priority. I still think the real issue is what is the appetite like to actively move players on.NabySarr said:

Wollacott coming in suggests there’s appetite there. It might come down to knowing that there’s genuine interest in certain players. Maybe we already know we can move CM on.Cafc43v3r said:

So, any rumours not involving either current or ex Swindon players, I get the old manager link ups but there is life outside of Wiltshire...ffs8

What rumours were there about O'Connell before he signed? We're obviously keeping pretty good control over leaks at the moment, it doesn't mean we're not looking because certain individuals aren't spouting off to their contacts every five minutes anymore.eastterrace6168 said:So, any rumours not involving either current or ex Swindon players, I get the old manager link ups but there is life outside of Wiltshire...ffs

Not that I have a problem with signing Swindon's best 11 or any decent league 2 player but..
Devils advocate time:
Our squad last season was considered mid to bottom half table, a squad that was predominantly made up of the players that finished the previous season just outside the playoffs, on goal difference.
