    With the mention of those 3 , I've got chills that are multiplying, as the song goes.

    Sadly the dealing that link doesn't include wine, which I'm led to believe is an integral part of an evening there.

    Regular every week, funny to see him and Benson starting week in week out

    Dozed off during that Swindon v Barnet JPT game and didn't know whether I was coming round or having a nightmare when I saw McOxo and Benson playing in red.

    He's been playing well all season for Swindon. Charlton was too big a step up for McCormack, Francis and Benson. They're all doing well at smaller clubs now.

    Wouldn't disagree with that everybody has moved on for the better it would seem.

    Bit harsh on Benson. A goal every three games in his first season in L1 for a dreadful Charlton side is a record to be proud of. I wish we still had him to be honest as I thought there was even more to come from him. I think McCormack was definitely put right off what little of his game there was by the step up and the expectation though

    I caught a bit of that game and thought he seemed to be playing centre back.

    Presumably because of his towering presence and strength in the air?

    His non performance at Charlton was down to a lot of boo boy 'fans' getting on his case from early doors and McCormack saying a metaphorical 'fuck it' and simply not trying his hardest. He is a decent lower league player, not a Bailey or a Semedo. I am surprised how well di Canio is doing as a manager, must be the CAFC finishing school at work

    Doing very well for Swindon, amazing what a bit of confidence does for a player.

    Confidence is a major part of every players game.

    And when they lose it, whether because of playing in a struggling side or the Boo Boys on their back, they become a shadow of the player they really are.

    Shame more fans don't understand that.

    Not surprised he's doing well for Swindon. Some wrote him off as a non-league player, but he did well for Southend at this level. His worst games for us he clearly played with no confidence.

    I didn't see McCormack play too many times for Charlton, but when I did I didn't think he was anything like as bad as people on here paint him out to be. Perhaps I was just lucky, but I'm not surprised to hear he's doing ok at Swindon.

    My brother in law is a Swindon season ticket holder, reckons McCormack has been outstanding at the back (but was rubbish in midfield). Apparently PDC expects every player to be able to play in a number of positions and regulalrly moves them around. Also subs players early in the game and drops them if he does not think they are trying (even the best players)

    What I hated about McOxo was his constant attempts to con the ref when fouled which for me means you weren't that good. Probably a decent player in league 2.

    Swindon fan at work has been saying he has been absolutley brilliant playing at centre back for them.

    sounds like he's found his level and position too.

    I work in swindon and the blokes there really rate Mcoxo , he's playing centre back and doing ok apparently. I think the bloke is a con man

    Funny how the Wendies all slate Morrison, but we think he's pretty good.

    Funny that.

    Presumably you hated bailey as well then.

    I've yet to be convinced that Swindon didn't get the better deal regarding the Benson/Clarke swap...............

    this serves as a reminder of the desire for scapegoatism
