Swindon look like a team that will always try to pass the ball whoever is in the team.
Under Slade our football seems to be all about being solid at the back and relying on 2/3 key attacking players. If we can pass the ball we will, if we can't find the space we don't know what to do. If we go long we're not very good at winning it or even getting the second ball.
It made us look so limited. They might be League One players but so are the opposition. I don't usually blame coaching clubs like Brighton and Swansea have had managers that get teams at this level passing and moving. Peterborough used to score a lot of goals in this division.
Any team in this league will find it hard missing their main attacking players but a lot of it is down to Slade's style of football. We have found scoring goals a problem all season. As I said it's all about getting the ball to our main 2/3, without them there's nothing going forward.
You pick one from Jackson,Crofts or Foley Maximum.
You saw the future today without Lookman when he moves on; and Holmes when he is injured, no pace, no running and no skill. Plus Big Josh who always gives 100% effort.
Other than a few games in the 3rd tier when Powell was in his first season and was trying to get blood from a stone that must be the worse side we have put out for a league match ? deffo the slowest. Only needed Gary Doherty to turn that into a walking football team.
I am so sad, that I basically don't fucking care. We are now an Oldham, Crewe, York city type club. We are just disappearing into a world of complete mediocre banal crap. The team is shit, the manger is shit, an nobody fucking cares.
Have Sky really fallen for that lie about Roland's live stream and all the investment?!!! What a bunch of jokers.
After our abject, awfull performance, this was the next irritant in the line. Can someone please explain to these idiots that it is a LOAN and the club are paying Roland 3% interest on it. It's not a gift as they implied. Idiots.
That was the sort of performance that gets managers the sack. An absolute affront to the 500 supporters who made the trip.
The absence of Holmes and Lookman was a major blow but it also brutally exposed Slade's limitations and his lack of ambition and tactical nous. The selection was utterly pedestrian - with four central midfielders - and we consequently resorted to our usual tactic of hoofball. That was never going to cut any ice with the lightweight Ajose up front (or, more usually, out wide), whilst Novak is better with the ball to his feet. Ajose also seems to be unable to read headed flick ons when Novak was, once in a while, actually able to win one against big central defenders. I fear that we've acquired a dud.
The team was littered with poor performances but a special mention for Crofts and for Pearce's defending at the second goal.
This team is going nowhere under Slade unless we lose Lookman in January and Holmes suffers an injury, in which case we're going to be looking over our shoulders.
Sadly, serving up this sort of garbage is only going to accelerate the shrinkage of our club and supporter base.

We will soon be getting sub 5000 crowds - shit owners, shit manager, shit football and absolutely no atmosphere. Can't see any way out of this. Slade is just the icing on the cake.

Roland still sticking his beak in??
Just watched delayed by an hour and amazingly stuck with it until the end.
Feared the worst when I saw the midfield but did Slade really have any other option? Chicksen in place of Foley maybe?

What have we become !
Good times.
The bloke is one dimensional and has absolutely no plan b.
Bet everyone is looking forward to Port Vale at home next Saturday The Valley will be rocking.
