Perhaps telling the players that they are sh-it at every opportunity is not helping their confidence..........

keeping faith with a forward that has lost his scoring boots in favour of the guy that clinched the league for us last season also seems strange.

didntshedoswell is 100% correct, after all of what Di Canio and Swindon did last year, some people find it too easy to say things like shocking, poor etc. The players are very tired, they have played 3 games in 6 days and have worked very hard. Confidence is low and Di Canio has already said they need some rest and some training. Leave it to Di Canio, once they find their form again someone is going to get hit for 5 or 6 against swindon very very soon! Come on you reds... Even Man City lost 3 games last year. Get behind the team like true supporters. We know they didn't play well, it doesn't help having 10 people say the same thing!

Boyo trouble is with the radio you can't get a true picture - Flint was MoM and deservedly so - He'd won it by half time in my book.

Disappointing game disappointing result but we didn't play well as a unit no understanding hesitency all around and strangely Ritchie didn't see a lot of the ball, probably because it was in the air far too much - midfield didn't dominate hence lack of service to the front men. Easy to criticise Devera & De Vita but they were no worre than Navarro or Miller I thought. Ferry surely has to be !st name on the team sheet.

Definitely think there was a "fear factor element" out there today - fear of upsetting PdC so perhaps his way of geeing up players may have backfired although like I said Flinty although not at his absolute best was head and shoulders above the rest.

For me Orient passed better, deserved to win and had the best player on the park in goalscorer Lee Collins.

However no need to panic and again like last season once Paolo finds his best team we'll be fine but hey - welcome to league one reality everyone.

grow up, seriously, 90 minutes of running? it's well known that playing 2 games a week takes it out of players, not just swindon. You really should listen to Di Canio, we are not Real Madrid, we are never going to win every game. Football is about preparation and having to play 3 games in 6 days has played a lot against us both physically and mentally. swindonthruandthru you mean tell the job center?

Quite right, something is missing. Devera doing a dummy in the box to allow them to score is one point. Macca being pulled out of position often shows he is not a L1 CB, at times in the first half there were only three across the back. Miller and Navaro, no, Ferry needs to be in there. We looked better with Ferry on, and Rooney, had he not been so selfish, with Ritchie unmarked and screaming for the ball in the centre, could have laid on the equaliser. It took us around 22 minutes to wake up and lay siege for around 3 minutes in the first half on their goal. This was without doubt the worst performance from a diCanio team I have seen at CG, and a rather lacking pathetic show, which resulted in the home record going. Big shame it was surrendered in such an uninspired fashion. The Ref should also come in for mention, a total D!ck in the first half and a bigger D!ck in the second half. How an official as lacking can get to this level is beyond most. I've not seen a display this bad since the relegation season, lets just hope the corner is soon turned. Keeping the ball on the floor will help, hoof-ball only gives it away for them to fire it back at us, something which pro's at this level should know only too well.

Sorry sapfan,one to forget and now get on with it is just complacent,it's not one it's 3 Awful performances and it was just like that under Wilson when the rot set in,if PDC don't sort this ASAP, he soon got rid of his players when they didn't perform,well he who lives by the sword will Die by it.

Wiz, I thought it was Ritchie that was greedy and De Vita that was screaming for the pass. COYMR

Different plays I think. I was referring to an incident just after Rooney came on. He took the ball and went past a player or two and then on the edge of their box DR stand side just got into a leg tangle with another two of their players, had he passed it, Ritchie was unmarked with the goalie to the left waiting for the shot from Rooney. At this point 85% of the goal mouth was totally clear, Ritchie just had to run the ball in, and an equaliser was there for the taking. I must say all three subs did help and would look at them to start in future, they were all more determined. PDC has tried to make too many changes too quickly and he has lost the balance and understandings in the team. I don't know how much longer Ritchie can play so deep covering the full back slot as Devera was caught out so many times today, and he and Bessone, were both guilty of hoof-ball, instead of playing the ball, passing the ball, and running with the ball out of defence. Another poster was quite right, we were total crap today, and there is only one person who can take responsibility for that and he was in the technical area. We have a week to improve, I hope we do. Got my Burnley ticket today, we have to beat the knob-jockey Austin, today he would have had a hat full had he been playing for L.O.

So now CA is a knob-jockey eh Wiz - sorry I expected better from you - I'd still have him up front in front of any of the strikers we've got on our books - cheap shot from you methinks -get off that moral high ground eh?

No you are not a Di Canio hater - but Di Canio not your choice as manager! Enuff said We are both STFC supporters - 'man-up' and learn to take defeat however much it hurts. Support the Team and the Manager.

Yawn .... just a Di Canio hater making hay. To be fair LO had a game plan, were strong and very physical and probably deserved the win. So what! PDC will get it right - keep the faith! COYR

no iam not a dicanio hater.no he is not my choice of manager but iam a stfc supporter. he cannot keep blaming players.its about time he came out and said he got things wrong.are the player hes just bo ught any better than the players he got rid of?foderingham not as good as last year?di canio that got rid of smith.lanzano.scott. ,so why is the fact foderingham got no competition the fault of anyone other than dicanio.

Russell Slade,done us up like a Kipper today chaps!made Paolo look what he is(a rookie manager still learning his trade)we were second to almost every ball,they looked a lot fitter than us,a lot stronger and if they'd have had a decent Striker up front,they'd have give us what we deserved(a thrashing)those on this site who think Paolo is God think again,he got a hell of a lot to learn and he better learn fast!league one is a tough ol school,it was easy in league two,but now,we will see if Paolo really can Manage!!!!!!!!!!

Don, I've never really liked Slade, but must admit they did do a number on us today, and as with Pox, looked a bit toothless but took a chance, made an opportunity and put it away. We were lucky it was only 1-0.

I think the main problem has been the late arrivals. We should have got them in earlier if they were available, and I think that is the key. I take it Bostock must be injured as he would have made a difference today, this game was gagging for him.

Why in the first half when ever they got a corner was collins dropping deeper and bringing 3 players with him stay on the halfway line and 2 will follow,school boy stuff.Still cheered up now as pox lost hope they go on a run of defeats like last time they beat us ,lets stick together PDC will get it right in time only 5 games in you know.

Flint far from his best but man of match I agree but there werent any other contenders. Agree the subs did ok.

Some good lessons learned though or things to be considered.

Is Macca a good enough L1 CB? I think he has been targeted as weak in the air by opposition, and hasn't had his best games recently. I don't think it's the captain responsibility, but ifit continues I think Troy and Flint might be worth a look.

Have Devera and De Vita flattered to deceive? Again a few off games recently. Could be worth a look at Bessone at RB or LM and bringing back Jay.

Without Ferry we just dont tick and he gives us that energy and forward drive. It's Ferry plus one for me in the middle. Maybe one of the forum stattos or the Washbag could reveal if we get more points with Ferry playing. Navs and Miller are hugely experienced but very 1 paced and Navs is very defensive, passes always going sideways.

Where was Bostock??!! Why on earth did he not come on, the best player on Wed, today an unused sub. I just don't get that at all.

Felt a bit sorry for Collins and Williams, not there day and looked tired I felt, poor touches and control. Rooney looked bright though maybe should have scored although chance did come early.

Alls not lost though just a blip I'm sure and we've still won more than we've lost this season.

Phew girl! have a rant by all means but please keep it in perspective.

Sorry but I think you were rightly berated for calling PdC a muppet, that was laughable,as was your remark that Malpas would have got us up with the team we had -that Paolo built let me remind you - Malpas wouldn't have known where to start.

And, shouldn't you be grateful to JW & the board for giving PdC the time to get it right -I'm sure they'll do so again and to throw your toys out of the pram after a couple of mediocre performances when he's obviously trying to find the right players to blend frankly beggars belief.

Get it sorted you say well for goodness sake give him a chuffin' chance!

Alls not lost though just a blip I'm sure and we've still won more than we've lost this season.

Agree with all of your account of what we witnessed today Wilsey and there are plenty of other post tonight that all basically say the same that was a very poor performance. Orient deserved their win, they won most of the 50/50, dominated in defence and their goalie was hardly ever troubled. Agreed that the very poor referee didn't help matters, but could hardly be blamed for the end result. My take on performances, Wes did OK, Bessone looked quite useful and we could have been a goal down in the first minute if he hadn't got back to clear off the line. Macca is struggling and will be lucky to hold his place once Archibald and Ward find their feet. (is the captaincy too much for him or has he been found out as not up to div 1 standard as a centre back?). Flint did OK and deserves to keep his place for the trip to Carlisle. Devera was shocking and has to go, In his defence RB is not his prefered position, but as hard as he tries he is no more than a squad player and is a weak link, he was no where near their goal scorer, caught out of position and exposed, but to be fair it was a miscued shot from their guy that found Cook unmarked. We are missing Caddis more than Paolo would ever admit, Devera is very poor in attack and cannot overlap like Caddis did, his mis-cued into the side netting with just the goalie to beat was pitiful to see. Miller and Narrovo were poor and we never really got a grip in midfield, both of them didn't do enough to win the ball, in fact they never won any thing hardly in a 1 on 1 confrontation, don't understand why Bostock and Ferry are not starting. Up front, sorry but Williams has lost his confidence, he needs to be benched, he hardly did anything right today and when Benson came on we did look a bit better at least with winning the ball, Collins also struggled. De Vita and Ritchie did OK without really getting the luck of the bounce. Rooney should have done better with probably our best chance of the match, but did show some nice touches. All in all a game to forget. Paolo has a moutain to climb to sort this out, but I have a feeling we may well see a turning of the tide on our next away game at carlisle. By the way Connell scored a great winner for Bradford, Clarke also scored for Scunthorpe and the only other good news is Pox also lost and James Constable got sent off. Lol

Bang on cue JB, actually surprised it has taken you sooooo long to get around to throwing your normal round of insults as per usual.

I wonder what kept you, only just out of the pub, or did all your little gnomes and elves at the bottom of your garden go to bed. Hmmmm.

My post above was addressd to Old Town Robin, not you, but then again it is an open forum.

Yes we are experiencing a dull patch in form, but have you been to any of the games, I doubt it.

NO, I don't eat burgers and never have, so I didn't have one today, in fact although I was in the Legends, I didn't see anyone eating in there. Of course I was at the match, but I doubt if you were, as you quote distance as being the problem, I travelled 220 miles from Great Yarmouth to be at the game today, so I don't see quite why you can't make it from Hereford where you claim to live, bike chain keeps coming off does it ?. I'll be over in Bromyard and then Hereford sometime soon, fancy meeting up ? Oh and by the by, we moved out of Witney 5 weeks ago so I'm no longer a resident of Oxfordshire.

Difficult game today with the underdog surprising us. I felt we took them to lightly and as is usual if you don't start well its hard to recover. The basic problem I.M.O. is that with the influx of 5 new players it has nocked the team spirit. The tight nit group that trained in Italy has gone and with the disruption and dissent to Paulo its not a settled squad. It must be difficult to remember every players name yet alone how they play. So it will get better just give it time and the confidence will build again.

Far too early to think about replacing Paolo Yet!but he has to sort out his squad,we have definitely gone back since the new arrivals,he has also knocked his teams confidence,hope he is thinking about his own performance since Preston,which in my opinion has been shocking,his man management skills have been wanting,his tactics for the last 3 games have poor,so simply Paolo you and our team have not been good enough,so pull yourself together Paolo and sort it fast,after all the backing and support from J-Wray you've not been up to the job,get your act together!!!!!!!!!!

After PDcs reaction to Wes F against Preston,no player in the squad quite knows where they are.
They are frightened to put a foot wrong because of the reactions of PDC,hence on the fence performances.
PDC has great passion,but in the long term,he needs to be respected by his players,not feared by them.
Discipline YES.. PDC....bullying NO.

Lol, Hmm, yes, it has a .......... certain gratifying sound to it, James Constable got sent off. Lol, Love it, well done, top post.

Wizard, I really don't much care how often James Constable got sent off for Oxford today. Many times as you suggest, which is impossible. We lost our 3rd game in 7 days and are in FREE FALL, so who cares about Oxford?? Hope you enjoyed your burgers, if indeed you went!!

Constable got sent off ONCE today. Answer the question, who would you replace PDC with ?

Sir Alex Ferguson and in the meantime that DICK Malkym from Witney should apologise to Carolyn from Stroud for his abusive comments towards her in recent days.

You continue to call posters on here Dicks and last week you slated people for not giving sensible answers. I get the answer of Alex Ferguson to my simple question, who is the Dick.

Far too early to think about replacing Paolo Yet!but he has to sort out his squad,we have definitely gone back since the new arrivals,he has also knocked his teams confidence,hope he is thinking about his own performance since Preston,which in my opinion has been shocking,his man management skills have been wanting,his tactics for the last 3 games have poor,so simply Paolo you and our team have not been good enough,so pull yourself together Paolo and sort it fast,after all the backing and support from J-Wray you've not been up to the job,get your act together!!!!!!!!!!

Very good post Don, agree with you 100%.

I'm fed up with Paolo passing the Buck and always blaming his players,I think he should man up and take the blame,he's had more backing,than any other Swindon manager i can remember!!!!!!!!!!

Alls not lost though just a blip I'm sure and we've still won more than we've lost this season.

Agree with all of your account of what we witnessed today Wilsey and there are plenty of other post tonight that all basically say the same that was a very poor performance. Orient deserved their win, they won most of the 50/50, dominated in defence and their goalie was hardly ever troubled. Agreed that the very poor referee didn't help matters, but could hardly be blamed for the end result. My take on performances, Wes did OK, Bessone looked quite useful and we could have been a goal down in the first minute if he hadn't got back to clear off the line. Macca is struggling and will be lucky to hold his place once Archibald and Ward find their feet. (is the captaincy too much for him or has he been found out as not up to div 1 standard as a centre back?). Flint did OK and deserves to keep his place for the trip to Carlisle. Devera was shocking and has to go, In his defence RB is not his prefered position, but as hard as he tries he is no more than a squad player and is a weak link, he was no where near their goal scorer, caught out of position and exposed, but to be fair it was a miscued shot from their guy that found Cook unmarked. We are missing Caddis more than Paolo would ever admit, Devera is very poor in attack and cannot overlap like Caddis did, his mis-cued into the side netting with just the goalie to beat was pitiful to see. Miller and Narrovo were poor and we never really got a grip in midfield, both of them didn't do enough to win the ball, in fact they never won any thing hardly in a 1 on 1 confrontation, don't understand why Bostock and Ferry are not starting. Up front, sorry but Williams has lost his confidence, he needs to be benched, he hardly did anything right today and when Benson came on we did look a bit better at least with winning the ball, Collins also struggled. De Vita and Ritchie did OK without really getting the luck of the bounce. Rooney should have done better with probably our best chance of the match, but did show some nice touches. All in all a game to forget. Paolo has a moutain to climb to sort this out, but I have a feeling we may well see a turning of the tide on our next away game at carlisle. By the way Connell scored a great winner for Bradford, Clarke also scored for Scunthorpe and the only other good news is Pox also lost and James Constable got sent off. Lol

OTR,

Fair comments, but feel you are being harsh on Devera as he is playing out of position.

Please forget Connell and Clarke, they are gone and neither would have scored with the service our front two received today.

Sorry sapfan,one to forget and now get on with it is just complacent,it's not one it's 3 Awful performances and it was just like that under Wilson when the rot set in,if PDC don't sort this ASAP, he soon got rid of his players when they didn't perform,well he who lives by the sword will Die by it.

OX-Red, In fairness I did say Joe was not playing in his preferered position, it's a situation that i don't think we can continue with Joe as our first choice right back, he is just not good enough in trhat position This situation has come about because neither Caddis or Paolo would backdown on their tif, If Paolo cannot replace Joe with an experienced fullback I think it's time young Thompson was given his chance, he could not play any worse than Joe did yesterday and I believe once he gets his chance he has the potential to keep the shirt and establish himself as our first choice right back.

Be interesting to get a take on what other people who were at the game felt about performances. This is my analysis to kick it off:
Wes - 6 and looked shell shocked and lacking in confidence with distribution.
Bessone - 4 was outmuscled and outjumped regularly and offered nothing going forward.
Joe DeVera 3 - Offers nothing linking with Ritchie and was even outjumped regularly. A square peg in a round hole.
Flint 6 - defended well but distribution was long balls that always went LONG
Macca 7 - great defensively but not once made a surging run forward even when opportunity presented itself
Miller 4 - Hardly noticed him at all. No contribution to anything creative
Ritchie 7 - lacked support and the ball for long periods but when he did get on it was quick and incisive. Should have put Raffa in for a clear run on goal but shot from distance instead.
Navarro 4 - For navarro read Miller. Was completely innocuous, when taken off I was surprised as had not noticed him playing. We lost it totally in midfield.
Raffa 8 - Bets player again for me. He tried to be creative, put in some decent balls, took on men and went in search of work. The only one who did!
Collins and Williams 4 - seem so similar to each other with Williams having more pace. Won nothing in the air and and no sign of understanding or a partnership as yet
Subs - Ferry 4, Benson not enough time and Rooney 6 as seemed to spark something too late at the end.

Ref 4 - Tried to play advantage but was weak and blew far too much and without any consistency.
PDC - should have brought on Bostock as the midfield was desperately needing creativity and quick subtle touches.

So that is my take. Does it match others or am I totally deluded? I felt there was a fear about the whole team, no-one even Macca taking risks or trying things out. To summarise it was total dross for the first time in a very long time!!!

i think that's a fair analysis, would probably have given bessone at least a 5, for clearing off the line in the first few minutes also looks like he can launch a decent throw in, think also flint was more like a 7 and macca a 6.

Otherwise think you got it spot on. I could imagine maybe up to 5 changes for Carlisle 2, Archibald if he is fit, maybe Ward will get another chance if he isn't. Would like ot see ferry and Bostock start in midfield and Benson and Rooney will be challanging Williams and collins up front for a start. Don't know why luke Rooney isn't even making the bench he is a flair player IMO and gives us another option if Raffa gets tired.

Of course these are only my thoughts but there is only one opinion that counts and I'm sure he'll get it right as we have gone from an early season high to a low in 1 week. He just needs to get it right at the back and I'm sure we'll be moving up the table.

My worry is that the Fodders issue last week has started to cause a rift between management & players. PdC constant slating publicly of players is starting to have an affect. Players are now too scared to make any mistakes fearing what PdC is going to say. There was so little heart or desire in the team today. one has to wonder why?

Macca is a great example, the last 3 games he has been so poor, is it that he is being found out at this level or the pressures of being captain is getting to him, or simply he's lost his confidence?

Our success last season was built around a solid defence, but this season it only looks a shadow of what it was. I would look to play Troy (once fit) along side Flint, and push Macca back into midfield with Ferry.

Bostock has to be in the starting 11 just to give us a bit of variety.

But maybe the main issue is that we have under estimated this division and aren't as good as we all thought, if so the wheels may really come of the tracks.

PdC needs to sit down over the next few days and sort out his best 11, and then let them settle in for a few games. He then needs to support them to the hilt and not keep putting them down if a mistake is made.

Many have already mentioned the booing at the end of the game today, saying what short memories the crowd have of last seasons success, give the team time to settle and get behind them. Perhaps that would be good advice to PdC as well.

What is the point of waiting until we are in a "position of no hope" to start moaning? It's too late by then.

I think the problem is we all remember the relegation season 2 years ago, and yesterday performance brought back bad memories. How often that season did posters say "give it 10 games", "give it till Christmas" but the writing was on the wall.

Lets hope that this last week is just a blip that we can put behind us and move forward. Lessons need to be learnt in all quarters.

The Board has invested large sums of money into the team with the objective of us getting in the championship, we have been told that is the goal, if we fail then questions will rightly be asked.

You are very, very sad Wizard and your 'Twin' Malkym. And Glasred and James Altea and Jayden and the rest of your multiple identities. Very Sad!!

J-B, I'm not going to respond to any more of your jibes as I believe now that you are dragging this forum to a very low point, bordering on infringing the terms and conditions by your continuous allegations, slanderous accusations and bad language by your constant name calling and innuendos. Your constant meddling in others conversations with little or no decent regard for fellow posters has not gone un noticed.

Wiz,
Butlers the reason I`ve stopped posting on this site. Used to enjoy it and i always tried to inject a sense of humour. He feels the need to start throwing personal insults around so i just don`t bother now. Real shame

H R and Chish,

Thanks for some honest support, clearly now thinking of leaving this board anyway, bit I won't go alone if I do.

I am elsewhere so its no big deal for me. Since moving house about 5 weeks back I have a lot to do, so less time on here anyway, and I'm still hoping to get a couple of weeks away before the nights draw in totally with the motor home.

Didn't get back from a trip to Belgium until yesterday lunchtime,i did live stream the game (thanks Grim) i am not going into the performance,what more can be said, Ive read a few post on this thread and i am amazed that any of our fans (if all are, that is) could want PDC out ludicrous if you ask me.I am really posting now to say how the heck(being polite) can any of our fans boo our team off at H/T after going a yr without witnessing a loss at the CG, no patience what so ever, not necessary at all,do the people who boo think they are going to help motivate the team when they hear shallow minded fools booing them.Some i feel need to look on WIKI and type in support/supporter,On

ce this has been done be honest with yourself and answer this question= Am i a supporter and do i support my club.
