SWINDON TOWN: Derby defeat so hard to stomach
5:00am Thursday 6th September 2012 in Sport By Andy Warren
BITTER PILL: Wes Foderingham is fouled during the loss at Oxford
SWINDON boss Paolo Di Canio travelled back down the A420 last night with ‘pain in his stomach’ after suffering his third straight defeat at the hands local rivals Oxford.
Alfie Potter profited from a mix-up between Aden Flint and Darren Ward to slide the ball under Wes Foderingham with two minutes to go to secure a 1-0 victory at the Kassam Stadium, during a game where Town enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and created the most chances.
Before the game Di Canio vowed not to offer their local rivals any ‘charity’ as he feels they did in their two defeats last season, but was left disappointed as a late error gift-wrapped another victory and dumped Town out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
“This is what happened last year, we did not concede any chance or any shot on target and then we made a gift and a mistake and we couldn’t go to penalties,” he said.
“One silly mistake gave them the opportunity to score and finish the game, but in terms of the performance I saw good things and the only team which was looking to score a goal was Swindon. “We travel back with hurt in our stomach because this is not a good place for us in this moment.
“I was a fan when I was young and I understand the feeling in this game, so it is not about my managerial career, it is about giving some satisfaction to the fans and being a part of the situations.
“The fans will be hurt because it was a local derby, but they could see there was commitment and passion and professionalism.”
While Di Canio was pleased with the performances of debutants Ward, Giles Coke, Federico Bessone and Adam Rooney, the Town boss wants to see more from some of his more established players.
“This is the limit for some of my players, they have to go one step forwards to become real footballers. Until today they were real footballers but not real footballers to win League One.
“Joe Devera, Raffa De Vita, they have to know what they want to do with their life with all respect, because they are good professionals and they have a big limit.
“Flint is a good guy and a good professional, but he has to improve a lot because it is not possible to give the ball away without any pressure 10 yards from him. “This is why I brought in Darren Ward and I said to the players not to be hurt because I brought in new players that can challenge their position.
“The players have to learn and I will help them, but I need some experienced footballers who can help me in this situation.”

However I feel that this will be our 'little blip' of the season and from Saturday on PDC and all the team will show their true worth, come out fighting and move into the top six for the rest of the season. It's better to have our 'blip' now than near the end of the season...
Sill GUTTED though.

Ward looked utter rubbish. Didn't look like he wanted to head the ball. When he had the ball at his feet he just waked in no mans land!
Rooney looked slow and pants.... I don't now if that's because we miss Richie and his ability off running with the ball.... Which we didn't do last night until bostock came on!
Bessone looked really good I thought! Made a great challenge midway in the first and just looked soild
Coke looked decent aswel!
Alan mac was poor!! Didnt win much and looked a mess!
I would say there goal was more wards fault then flints! Flint was running across the line and ward was stop and starting and just ran into flint instead off running into the ball! ( that's what it looked like)

I didn't go last night, listened via player again. However it sounded a gutless performance from us when it needed a bit of fire and passion which seemed missing. No doubt we miss Matt Ritchies creativity in mid field. Sorry, we also miss Caddis at the back big time. Another stupid Sunday league mistake cost us and from a defence that had looked inpenatrable. Why so many changes so soon after players arriving here? Just to make a point after Preston N E.Surely they are not at Paolos required fitness levels.That result will take a couple of thousand off the gate on Saturday.
One word, GUTTED!

Saw a clip on sky this morning where if I'm not mistaken Paolo is telling those on the bench to listen to the Oxford fans singing after they scored. Ie remember this feeling and don't let it ever happen again. To late for Oxford but not to late for every other team in league 1. We were good against Brighton, very good against MK Dns, excellent at Stoke. You don't become a bad team over night.
Keep the faith.
Back to back to back promotions coming.

Coke played really well, Rooney looked unfit, bostock looks class and bessone looked assured, maybe worth a shout to put him RB maybe?? Bad day at the office but we will be ok this year, all we need to do now is to learn how to win ugly, it was a awful match to watch and whenever we are involved in these matches we seem to lose them.
On a different note, before I left the county ground for that place up the A420, I spoke to nick Watkins and he said they were looking at getting a new coach in at the club........ Are PDC days numbered at the club???? Have the board had enough of his passionate rants to the press??
Have they heck and why should they, it was just a new team coach, it was lovely and spacious..... Hopefully will be in place for the long trip to Carlisle for the players to stretch out and relax so they can be nice and fresh for the game :))))

We certainly didnt play the good football we normally play but oxfords gameplan was clearly to stop us playing our style of football and they did that well. Personally i tought Ward did ok, adam rooney struggled but again he aint a winger. Bessone looked very good and coke seemed solid enough.
Even though we weren't at our best we certainly didnt deserve to lose. Recently it seems as though alan mac is stuggling in defence, stick him back into centre mid i say!!
Anyway we're out the minnow cup so lets hope town make the most of it and start picking up some league points!!
IN PAOLO I TRUST!!

He was absolutely shocking. He didnt win one header when challenging with someone, he barely won a free header, and when he did have a free header he had no idea which direction it was going in.
Much like when he had the ball to feet. Everything was hoofed in the air and at least 50% of these went straight out of play.

That, hopefully will be our last game in the JPT for a very long time.
No more extra micky mouse cup matches to fit into the league program.
Could have a better run in the League Cup, providing we get past Burnley, we can hope for a bigger night of football. Then who knows.
The team last night on the whole played ok. I feel it was a mistake putting in all the new signings in that match, same as PdC did in the Final. Too many changes led to lack of cohession.
If your going to have a bad spell, which every team does at some point in the season, best have it now and not for too long. We know what we are capable of, so lets do it.
Things should be back on track after the weekend.

We won't become a bad side overnight. We do need to learn from this and find a way of unlocking teams who will try to shut us down from the front (its going to happen A LOT this season) - but I'm confident that will come.
No panic.

Ronney was clealry out of position and did nothing on the wing which made the right hand side weak.
Ward had a shocker all night not able to trap a ball or pass in any direction baring off the pitch and at fault for the goal

You cannot blame the players for being thrown in at the deep end for a game where PDC is assessing them, but does PDC really appreciate the significance of the moment ? I don't think so. Yet this was one game he highlighted as significant and a "must win" for the supporters, sorry but the team choice simply doesn't reflect that view.

Gutted and humiliated that we have lost the last 4 matches to the dirty yellow scum!! This has been a very bad week for us so I do hope we can now settle down and start fielding a reasonable settled team, can't help but agree with Romain that it was not a good idea to have started so many new players in this match! And finally......is it too much to ask that when a Swindon player is through 1 on 1 with the goalie he keeps his composure and at least gets his shot on target instead of "blazing wildly over"?
Admittedly not there that night but report in West D Press today indicates we pummelled their goal for 90 mins but didn't hit the onion bag-seems on another day we might have had six and everyone would have been happy.
Let's keep it in perspective there's people on here almost suicidal calling for Paolo's head still ranting about Caddis & Wes and generally being a prophet of doom.
I am quietly confident that we will return to winning ways on Saturday and all this hysteria will be forgotten and the drama queens will be able to relax.
Hope all's well "oop North:)

back to basics and select the best 11 to do the job and not keep on changing things around.
Admitted injuries to Ritchie, Roberts and Archibald and the leaving of Caddis has not helped the cause, but surely now Paolo knows what his best available 11 are. Our centre backs which I thought was going to be one of our strengths is in disaray, is the captaincy effecting Alan macs game, when he's had a couple of below average performances, (it did Douglas ,who was never the same player after taking the arm band). or is it because he doesn't have a settled partner. By all accounts from those that went last night Ward is not the answer, but if he plays Saturday I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him myself. Until Troy is fit I would prefer to see big Flint along side Mac as they have played together for a while. Then we need to think about Devera at right back, credit to the lad he trys hard and rarely lets us down, but I can't help thinking when he comes up against a half decent winger with pace he's going to get skinned. IMO RB position needs to be strengthened. LB seems sound with both Bessonne impressing and Jay more than capable. Midfield is pretty good with probably Ferry, Bostock and Millar as an any 2 from 3 with Navarro a reasonable back up.
Hopefully Ritchie will be back and De Vita has done enough to keep his place until Roberts is challanging him, Afraid Luke Rooney will not be a regular starter as he seems to be out of favour. Collins and Williams up front is probably our best attacking duo, but Andy does need to get a bit more clinical with Benson and Adam Rooney looking for their chance.
Sorry for rambling on, looking forward to a decent performance Saturday, with hopefully a solid team selection that can get the job done.

Bessone to me had a good game along with Ferry and Coke.
Darren Ward was a total disaster from the first minute and to me he was last man at the time they scored and should have taken responsibility by calling flint.
Oxford had one shot and scored. Williams was shocking first half and couldnt hold the ball up and how one of their players didnt get booked for a blatant deliberate foul when he was looking to get through on goal and we also should have had a penalty second half as strangely enough Oxford handballed twice that were exactly the same one in the box and one outside and guess what we got the one outside.
Corners were awful as were the freekicks we had a really disappointing night against the scum horrible yellow fans -rubbish ground and oxford fans only sang when they scored.
To me we look a totally different team without Ritchie as we have no one hold the ball up and if we play that style of football anymore this season we wont win many games.
Oxford are a poor side but we came down to their level and if we had played our usual style we would have hammered them.
I know its only the jpt but its Oxford and to me we should have started with less of the new players.
Very impressed with Bessone as for Ward i hope that was a one off otherwise my score for him out of 10 based on last night was 1. He was beaten in the air too much, poor distribution, responsible for the goal, cant think of anything positive after last night on Ward.

Ward was poor, but he worked hard - just not his evening. Bessone showed he has the potential to be a key player. Williams worked his socks off but there was something that didn't click between him and Benson and both were only fed scraps. A Collins/Williams pairing next Sat should prove what works. Bostock coming on improved things and he showed why we wanted him. Ferry was everywhere. We were best when we got it on the ground and passed the ball.
Was it just me or were the officials bl**dy appalling? They missed the obvious, saw the obscure and even made things up. That Pox had 11 men on the pitch at the end was evidence they, the officials, didn't do their jobs. The amount of arms and elbows left in on our players was awful. But then again - we always get s**t Refs!
I could go on and on about the good and the bad of last night but as a Fan I just want my team to play well and together, and under a Manager who (while he will make mistakes - but he is only into his 2nd season....) is passionate about this club and our football.
As an aside, last night Pox showed appalling hospitality - charging £19 for a JPT game, no bar, expensive food and drink and squeezing 1300 fans through 2 turnstiles. Also poor security support with insufficient seats and steward guidance meaning people were stood on the stairs and in stairwells. Also, having 2 flares and a firework lobbed at us, with a cretin just outside the ground using a laser to point into our fans eyes.....
I accept that safety is paramount and at my age I am not sure I can out run a Pox hooligan, but the length of time 'trapped' in the cordon by the exit whilst the Police cleared the in-bred mutants took for ever! Hey ho, I got home safe and the wife's car (not slow me) survived without a scratch.
Here's to Saturday and 3 points please. COYR and PDC my legend!

No problems getting out of the JPT but losing against the enemy hurts no matter what game.
Wes looked solid once again although had very little to do.
Oxford were there for the taking but defended just the same as last game, very deep but we had no cutting edge in front of goal.
So from a player perspective:
Ward - Awful, however lets not write the lad off just yet.
Macca & Devera - Average at best.
Bessone - Promising game.
Ferry - Keeps and passes the ball hence should be in at the start of all games if fit.
Devita - Not a winger, or is Rooney (poor decision to play him there).
Coke - Wanted the ball but got injured, saw good glimpses.
Williams on his own up front and apart from a few good runs got isolated. Benson average game.
Bostock - Best player on the park albeit had very little time to make an impact. Find his best position and start him. Makes things happen.
Flint - Should have started.
Miss Ritchie and Roberts on both sides, particularly as we have lost a good footballer in Caddis.
So we move on, lick our wounds.
Lets get back to winning ways Saturday.
Last point - I hope Paolo finds at least 9 players that will form the base of his starting 11. Too many changes appear to highlight that players are yet to understand each other.
Stick together - STFC Div 1 Pox Div 2. Not all bad is it really ?

Giving these new players a run out in a cup game wasn't in itself a bad idea, but the result is obviously a disappointment. Still right behind PDC and have a lot of faith that we'll do well this season - if we're struggling by Christmas then obviously that opinion may change but for now see no need to panic.

5> People go on about our away form but remember Paolo dropped half the team for two of those games after drinkgate.

8> On Super Sir Wes gate - think any player won't buy into the "team ethos".
9> Troy really is a quality centre half, amazed so few can see it.
10> Williams scored 17 for Yeovil last year, looks a great signing to me, can't believe he's been written off.
11> Changing up the team last night means much of the team will be rested for Orient.
12> Devera isn't Caddis but he doesn't get any credit for his defending at all.
13> If Caddis keeps getting man of the match his price will go up.
14> We have an amazing board and an even better Chairman.
15> We really do have a great great manager. Amongst all the hysteria and the sniping from other teams fans and media, he was top of all his UEFA classes and will do the business for us.
16> Roberts will be like a new signing when he comes back (great competition for RDV on left wing).
17> Ritchie still to come back.
18> Storey will score goals late on as sub when games get stretched. Blistering pace and bulked up with it.
19> Saved SAPF some work on the prediction league.
20> Back to back to back promotions coming. Watching the birth of a managerial legend. Isn't he already?! Build a statue of him when he takes us to the Premiership.

2. Understand that JPT is logical place to experiment but NOT when it is such a fierce derby. Sorry Paolo, too much experimentation last night and it cost us.
3. Surprised that Flint blamed for the goal, my first reaction was it was Ward's fault. Ward was a liability all night making many mistakes. A team better than p*ss poor would have crucified us.
4. Bessone: impressived JayMac is going to have serious competition.
5. Coke, reminded me of Kavanagh that used to play for Stoke; always looking for space and the fluent pass. Did play too deep at times but he is young and will learn.
6. A Rooney: unfair to judge for a player who has never played on the wing. The game was desperately missing a proper winger. Luke Rooney (sat with Town fans) must have been gutted not to be included.
7. Taking Ferry off changed the game; we were no longer a proper threat with Bostock's twickle toes and greed with final ball.
8. Benson looked off the pace.
9. We dominated the game but no real cutting edge.
10. The scum are really **** and got lucky again. They will not be promoted (well, maybe by christmas as usual but we all know how that ends).
11. Surprised no seems to have mentioned the two blatant penalties. First was clearly handball and the second, Ferry was shoved in the back and both less than ten yards in front of the linesman who had clear views (I was right behind him and looking over his shoulder). Shocking performance mr linesman. In any other profession you would be sacked for such ineptitude.
12. Three points on Saturday please, Paolo. COYR!!!

Seriously at times it was 7-2-1 or 8-2. Other than set pieces they never looked like scoring but then again neither did we.
It wouldn't have been so bad to have gone out last night had it not been the pox scum. Anyone but them! Do the players not yet understand what it means to us Swindon fans? I didn't go last night, listened via player again. However it sounded a gutless performance from us when it needed a bit of fire and passion which seemed missing. No doubt we miss Matt Ritchies creativity in mid field. Sorry, we also miss Caddis at the back big time. Another stupid Sunday league mistake cost us and from a defence that had looked inpenatrable. Why so many changes so soon after players arriving here? Just to make a point after Preston N E.Surely they are not at Paolos required fitness levels.That result will take a couple of thousand off the gate on Saturday. One word, GUTTED!

Not worried about being out of the JPT but I am gutted we've lost to them again. Yesterday was in no way about the JPT competition.

I love the way PDC looks at the oppo and builds his tactics around that. There's work still to be done on how to combat the brick wall tactic, three attempts and no result...

Every faith in PDC, he's still the man to lead us forward by a mile.

I'm not so miffed at going out of the Paint Pot as the league must be clearly our priority, but miffed at going out against the hoof ball eight behind the ball Poxford, yes, I'm more than darn miffed about that.

We were never goingto win it with all the new boys thrown in. It stood to reason that this would not be a slick, well oiled performance and as soon as I saw the teamsheet I expected defeat.
.
However, it was an ideal opportunity for the boss to do it, with little more at stake than being knocked out of a cup that in truth, nobody cares about unless they get a trip to Wembley out of it. Been there, done that, didn't get the trophy.
.
Now Saturday, that's a different scenario all together and we will seethe strongest possible starting 11 and I'd put my hat on there not being too many deviations from the norm, not withstanding injury.
.
Would have loved to beat the Pox in any game to be honest, but seeing as they have the bragging rights at the moment anyway, one more defeat in the JPT hardly makes things any worse on that score.
.
Over the course of a full season, quality should win through, and we have that in abundance so here's hoping for another successful season.
.
our start this year is miles better than last year, in a higher league. I just don't believe it will be a walk in the park as some of our fans seem to have already decided before barely a ball has been kicked in anger!

The only concern really was the lack of good chances created, also the tendency of Ward to lump it when under no pressure, but I though apart from the goal he did OK defensively.
Yes Devera is no Caddis going forward, but Caddis is no Devera defensively, so its horses for courses.
I really want to see John Bostock in the team but not sure on his best position. He looks a couple of levels better than all the others last night.
I can see Paoloplaying the following on Saturday (assuming Ritchie and the others are still injured)
Wes
Devera Flint Macca Bessone
Bostock Ferry Miller De Vita
Collins Williams
With everyone fit there's some tough calls but I would think about changing it to
Wes
Devera Flint Troy Jay
Ritchie Ferry Miller(c) Roberts
Bostock Williams
My 7 subs would be Bedwell, Macca, Collins, De Vita, Benson, Bessone, Navarro
So Rooney(s) Coke Storey N Thompson and Ward are the ones with a bit to do imo.

Easy to work out
PDC was using the Oxford game for practise.
Only a few days for a league one clash.
Get new players working together and on saturday he can pick and choose strongest side.
I think Jeremy wray wants a return on his money and promotion is number one target
We have still got the League and FA cup.
Tired players with too much on thier plates will mean relegation!!!”
- I think the problem is misinformation from Paolo. He talked about no more charity i.e. get stuck in, revenge. It's clear he actually used the game as a chance to give the new players game time.
As igiwigi suggests that's not a problem, but maybe the fans who shelled out their hard-earned to go to the game should have been told we are going to treat this as a practice match. Last night will have helped the new guys to gel with the others, but I would have pretty miffed if I had gone expecting us to stuff Oxford.

Totally agree that I don't like the singling out but it may just be Paolo's way of making him work harder in training. Wouldn't surprise me if he starts on Saturday. Let's see.
Also if the "some of our fans think its going to be easy in this league" is aimed at me. I'm well aware it won't be easy.
It will be hard work but that is exactly the reason I expect us to WIN the league. Why? Because we are fitter than any other team and "the royal" we work harder than any other team on and off the training pitch. Over the course of 46 games I expect the dedication, attention to detail and hard work to equal winning the league.

No good criticising the players, its PDC's team, his players and his team , his selection. As I've said many times, not everyone is the same as him, nor are their skills the same as his(he seems to use his pinnacle as a datum point), yet he judges others but seemingly rarely himself.

I think its time he cut the players some slack, up to a point, and started to re examine his methods, training, tactics and man management skills, and perhaps admit to himself if no other that this season is proving to be more difficult in some ways than last. A step back from the line and an inward look wouldn't hurt. He would come back stronger and more composed, instead of where we are now.

Of course healthy competition for places is good - TAH battling AF and vice versa plus the squad system and Paolo's feeling of certain horses for certain games.

I do realise he is trying constantly, probably too hard to improve players as individuals and collectively as a team. Of that I don't think any of us have ever doubted. Perhaps naming names a couple of seasons back would have been in order, but pointing the finger now, after what we have come through I think could become counter productive. Time for quiet, time for keeping a lid on out bursts, time for him to up his own game as a manager, he would gain a lot more respect, especially from supporters of other clubs, where right now he is viewed as a joke, but we know differently. Thank God.

If you would have taken ward off after 23 mins for flint then ward would not have lost us the game.
Paolo has made us laugh by some of his quotes, but blaming flint you have sunk to an all time low in my book.
Watch the video again as you do.
Ward and Rooney was absolute shiit
The good news bessone,coke and bostock looked good in our 9 man side.
Onwards and upwards.

Yes you are entitled to your opions but so negative which we dont need.
Are you really fans, do you go to the games. I live in Old Portsmouth and travel to the home games and some away. Went to Oxford last night yeah gutted and yes Paolo does say it as it is. I dont agree with the way he sometimes singles out players but that is the way he does things.
He is the best thing that has happened to our club, his passion,heart & pride are for the club he works all the time.
Only in the Macari days did we have so much passion around the club.
Go and support a club with the likes of King or Malpas in they are crap Managers not Paolo.
We won the league, got to JPT Final had a great cup run.
We are in a great position now and have already knocked 2 good clubs out of the cup.
Get a Life - What more do you want!!!

My comments for what they are worth on a very disappointing night.
No problems getting out of the JPT but losing against the enemy hurts no matter what game.
Wes looked solid once again although had very little to do.
Oxford were there for the taking but defended just the same as last game, very deep but we had no cutting edge in front of goal.
So from a player perspective:
Ward - Awful, however lets not write the lad off just yet.
Macca & Devera - Average at best.
Bessone - Promising game.
Ferry - Keeps and passes the ball hence should be in at the start of all games if fit.
Devita - Not a winger, or is Rooney (poor decision to play him there).
Coke - Wanted the ball but got injured, saw good glimpses.
Williams on his own up front and apart from a few good runs got isolated. Benson average game.
Bostock - Best player on the park albeit had very little time to make an impact. Find his best position and start him. Makes things happen.
Flint - Should have started.
Miss Ritchie and Roberts on both sides, particularly as we have lost a good footballer in Caddis.
So we move on, lick our wounds.
Lets get back to winning ways Saturday.
Last point - I hope Paolo finds at least 9 players that will form the base of his starting 11. Too many changes appear to highlight that players are yet to understand each other.
Stick together - STFC Div 1 Pox Div 2. Not all bad is it really ?
I think some of the comments on here are overly harsh on the players and even DiCanio in terms of selection and tactics.
Again, however, the whole thing has been marred by unfair and unjustified scapegoating by the manager. I'm at a loss as to how this is supposed to motivate what is a very good squad of players.
We also can't afford to see any further fall outs. 5 in a year is too many - Clarke, Kerrouche, Tehoue, Caddis and Fodderingham. Patience is running out Mr DiCanio.

Bonus for the club -guaranteed food sales and more wet sales because people drinking longer. Now? eat elswhere - maybe outside or the chippie opposite fire station - good pie & chips deal for the same price as a pie in Legends- and then head to legends for one maybe.

Fair comment from you.
Just think though ok we've had 2 defeats and its the end of the world. 2-3 seasons ago 2 wins on the trot would have been good!
These are good times god knows what they will both like when we hit real bad times.
All too negative for me PDC yes is still learning and like i say i don't agree with all of his decisions.
You cannot knock what he has achieved. Under Macari we played long ball football which alot of people didnt like but people didnt slate Lou as much as Paolo.
Sorry i just don't agree with all the negative stuff. Yes come back on here after we have lost 6 games on the trot and slate me.
Do you think that will happen?

Think there's going to be a competition for all the armchair fans/moaners!!.
The prize will be a month to work with the team and select the matchday team. But!! you will have to do 6 hours training every day, 7 days a week, with all the running and exercises for 28 days.
Of course you would have to prove that you would be up to it first.
I really hope the board and PdC do not take too much notice of the very, very small minority who post on here with their negative comments after losing.
I think if and when PdC decides to leave it will be because of this very small minority who only come out and post after losing.
PdC is in charge and does things his way, which is very different to most managers and he is still on a learning curve.
Yes i do go and watch my beloved town play and will be there on saturday cheering my team on regardless.
PdC is the man to lead us on to greater times.

Like ive stated above to many negative comments on here.
2 defeats and its all doom and gloom.
We are in a great position with a great manager & chairman.
Get behind them yes Paolo has his own ways but he is probably the best Manager along with Macari we have ever had.
Im proud to be an STFC fan at the moment i wasnt when muppets like King, Malpas, Wilson & Hart were here.
Passion, pride and commitment along with good football happy days for me.

This to an extent is human nature and to be honest even I might be questioning his tactics but it's more I think unique to football fans as opposed to other sports.Every fan of every club, every poster on this site is a football manager in their own twilight world who are convinced they can do a better job than the guy doing it - you only have to listen to 606 - Talksport etc.
Obviously we all hope we dont get to that scenario but isn't it good to have a tangible feeling -you can almost touch it that the club is on the up, and how good is that after the traumas of the Diamandis era. Make no mistake much of that is down to the infectious passion and desire of Paolo which is rubbing off on us all - or most of us except Carolyn'62 it seems :(
Three points on Saturday will do just fine to keep that feeling going.

Also says Roberts and Ritchiebdounts and that Coke is out with a groin injury
.
Guess most will ignore those facts and moan about the changes!
.
Funny how they only come out after the game - had we won no one would have mentioned it - justice when we had 6 changes and beat Exeter last year in the JPT!
.
As for the cruising of players - we have seen it before and we have also seen the results - think it was the title - maybe the moaners can correct me if I'm wrong
.
As PdC said he knows how to motivate HIS players as he works with them day in day out
.
Why don't we just let him get on with his job as he seems to be soon OK
.
Or is a title win (our first since 96), unbeaten at home in over a year in all competitions, 21 wins at home out of the last 25 in the league and only 1 goal conceeded since October suddenly not good enough?
.
Got to admit that does suck compared to our run of 19 games without a win as recent as 2011!

perhaps ward/rooney did have a bad game as a one off?. but im a bit worried he WILL play ward saturday after the remarks about flint, which may work or may not, i just said it how it was. paolo strives on fitness and to give these two players 90 mins each on their debuts was criminal.also ive kept my gob shut up till now regards ferry he is if not along with ritchie and bostock is the best midfield player in the division and in my book must start every game untill he has a poor one,

But he cant be knocked at the moment to what he has acheived.
Whats the point of people being so negative thats what im saying when we are the best position for a long time.
I have £20 on us winning the league by the way but not nowhere near as much as you.
Anyway you ended up with a much more positive 2nd post overall apart from the remarks about me so it worked.
Fair play for attended all those away games also.

We've never had it so good and you idiots aren't man enough to accept a defeat. Go support man united or Chelsea. I'll slap any of you if I find out who you are.
