There's more to come - Wes (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Hallelujah.

Well said Super Sir Wes. Absolutely right we haven't hit 70% of what we are capable of and we are 4th.

Positive positive positive. We are wining the league young Wesley.

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 into the Premiership.

It's all well and good saying there's a lot more to come Sir Wes!you know the saying,talk is cheap!so lets Have it and ASAP!!!!!!!!!

I still think we have one of the stongest squads in the division , and this has got to be one of the weakest league 1's for a few years. I'm still very confident when this team gels we will kick on just as we did last year :-)

Some good comments from Wes, sums it up really. One day its 90%, another its 40%. On our day we will beat anyone in the league, just a bit too inconsistent at the moment.

Great comments from Wes. However talking and doing are very different things!

Lets hope we can get a good performance in on Saturday and snatch all 3 points.

....as per above we had the 'We've learnt our lessons from the Orient match and won't be doing that again'
...
...just before the Colchester match when they...aah well, that's history and in the words of an infamous poster or two on here...Onwards and Upwards!
---.
Coventry are going to be the biggest test of the the last 3 new manager matches and after last night they'll have their gander up....got to get into them quickly and silence their fans.
---.
I think they've got one of the best away followings but might not be the case this season....anyone know how many they'll be bringing?

Don't like these "lesson learnt" statements as they count for nothing. Wes is right though, not even 70% of what we're capable of so far . My concern is that against united, we had to endure our side playing exactly the kind of football that we haven't had to endure for ages. Troy though he was Beckham and lifted long balls all day long , that's not how we play and I can't imagine DiCanio asked him to do this so why did happen? Ritchie needs support if he's going to produce his best and our other key winger has spent more time injured than playing. I think we'll struggle to find form foot a while yet

Completely off topic ->Cant understand all those women going on about Jimmy Savile; they wouldn’t press charges against him when he was alive so why press charges now then, Now then! Now then!

More breaking news - the late Rod Hull is in trouble for fisting a bird!

I too hate these statements. We heard it after the Orient game but the same happened at the Colchester Game. It was one of my biggest gripes with the Danny Wilson days, after every defeat one of the players would come out with the same BS. Cov are brimming with confidence and although they have still had relatively poor performances this will the biggest test yet imo. But I just wish the players would do their talking on the pitch!!!

My colleagues here dont know how many they will bring but my guess would be 1500 - 2000.

If we are in need of anything right now it is a convincing commanding performance on Saturday and a result.

One nil, would do it as long as we totally rule the game, another home defeat however would set alarm bells ringing for some, so lets hope that isn't the case, strong home performance needed, nothing less will do.

And emu what he was doing as well

Wiz, a 1-0 win of any sort will do me, as long as we are actually trying to play football, unlike in the last home game.
.
I agree with those who say we don't need these "lessons learned" statements from the players. They can show us with a good performance that they've learned the lessons, then tell us about it afterwards. Otherwise good positive stuff from Fodders.

30% more from everyone then we do not need to go into the transfer market.
Onwards and upwards

Agree totally - the team, manager and all STFC supporters for the 90/95 minutes of the match need to be right on top of their game.

You're dead right grim. If we have been playing at only 70% of our potential, PDC just needs to get them all firing on all cylinders and we'll be flying.

Definitely NOT trying to be negative, but, a couple of seasons back or so, Wilson said he could put out the same players in two games, but never knew , "which team", would go out onto the pitch. One week we were good, the next week total pants, you may remember that issue, and to a degree I think we are possibly suffering the dreaded "malaise" as it was refereed to then.

We need a goalscorer chaps!not scoring enough goals for a promotion winning side,15 goals in 11 games less than one and a half per game!think Tranny got 26,(even cr@py little Stevenage as LR calls them,have got more that us)if we are to go up,someone as to start banging in a few!!!!!!!!!!!!!we could do with Grim's hero Charlie that goal machine!LOL!!!!!!!!!

we havent been that as bad at home as everyone is making out we battered bournmouth and burnley inbetween the orient and colchester games i think we will be fine coventry because they are going to try and play to win the game and thats when we're at our best orient and colchester both came here for draws and we couldnt break them down they got 1 chance and scored, coventry will be positive and we will see them off

Haha! I remember Wilson saying, before Colchester away towards the end of 2009/10, "We just don't look like conceding any goals at the moment." Cue 3-0 defeat, squabbles on the pitch and the collapse of our season. All water under the bridge, I know, but I would really like to know what went on then, apart from Paynter's dirty deal with Leeds that is.

I'm only talking about the Colchester game and I don't think there's any doubt about how bad we were in that one. They had 3 or 4 chances on top of the one they put away. They probably did come for a draw but they completely outplayed us and could have hammered us. They played it out from the back, while our goalkeeper and central defenders hoofed it at every opportunity. Hope it's a very long time before we see another performance like that.

Don,

For the majority of his goal scoring time he had good service from midfield, not hoofball. Not making excuses for anyone, but hoofing it up the field is not the answer, telling, accurate, well timed passes into space for the front men to run onto are the answer, and we are not creating those through balls.

We have lost a lot of players in "the end of term clearout" and with them they took a lot of understanding with them. The additional players that came in after the pre season have complicated things and those understandings are not there any more, and we haven't gelled through injuries. I hope the best is yet to come, a good 12/15 game run in the New Year will help us assert some authority in league position, but right now the leaders are looking good, but we had a similar situation with Morecambe last season. That was till they came here and we beat them, after which they never really did recapture their previous form.
My answer of sort is to play Ferry, not only because of his link up with Ritchie but also Benson and RDV should they be playing and he knows what to expect from Flint, Macca and to a lesser point Jay, very pivitol position, very good knowledge, so come on, play the man, the only one we have that has the "knowledge".

I know it is all ifs buts and maybes but we've put in 2 bad performances this season.
---.
Just to show how close this league is and how ready it is for the taking, had we won both 1-0....which would not have been good results in most eyes, we would be sat in 2nd 1 point behind Tranmere and we'd probably still be moaning given that our goals to games ratio wasn't good enough.
---.
Totally agree we need to improve but maybe a 10% improvement in performance would start to put away most of these teams 2-0 or better.
===.
Big Game Saturday and sadly - with their new manager, I can see a draw. No doubt my pre-match optimism will try to change that but 1-1 is the bet I'll be having - hoping that I'm wrong and that we win of course.
===.
Agree with 'WIZMAN' that the core of 7 choose themselves for this one...if not the other 4.

Agree with a lot of that Wizman!but we've also missed a lot of good chances,loads away from home!but there's a long way to go yet!but I think Canioman wants another Striker,hence his annoyance at the Budget overload!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair don we never had a goal scorer last season and still pisssed the league. As much as I like Williams/Collins benson is the only one with a preditory Instinct. Gutted Collins said he crossed the ball to the back post for his goal because I thought he looked up see him off his line and went for it, perhaps he should cross the ball instead of going for goal more often lol.
If Roberts is back Saturday I would play rafa and Benno up tops Saturday.
Onwards and up up and awaaaayyyy

Need to get your abacus out? " bad performances" - Preston, Orient & Colchester = 3 if my arithmetic is correct :)

Yep WR totally agree - we don't want to hear " we know we let the fans down" our performance wasn't good enough" - Jeeez we all knoew is wasn't when we've seen such a game - we don't need telling. Sometimes though the jobbing journo, I'm sure, - throws a question at a player like - that wasn't up to scratch Wes etc and then picks up on the response for the article lead headline. The player isn't going to deny it if the team's had a stinker.

WR,

The more they bring the better, it will help us quite a bit given our situation.

They took over 2,000 to Yeovil I'm told,should hit the magic ten thousand mark Saturday(unless the weather's awful)big game for us and them!he's hoping for three points!!!!!!!!!!

But yep you're quite right 3 in all...unless anyone wants to add in Hartlepool.

I gather there was a heavier than normal police presence at Arsenal when Coventry were visiting a few weeks ago. I suppose that was because of the numbers (8,000?) but I reckon the police might be quite busy on Saturday.
.
Does anyone else think the news on McCormack's injury (other thread) is a bit half-arsed? Last week we were told he had a slight hamstring injury. Now it's just "no, he's not playing". How serious is the injury and how long is his absence likely to be? Perhaps the Adver are already in the process of following this up.

Regarding Williams, the manager says a month, what does the medic say ?

One month would label it as a bad injury, yet he walked off ?

Bit of pressure politics here I think.

Very glad Roberts is on the way back.

Glad Roberts is back he looks a very, very good player!. Shame about Williams, he had just hit some form but i think we have options to cover him.

Who will our back 2 be? Flint and TAH?

Agree there - and back 2 keep as per Saturday....a bit of consistency for a few games would help Jay and Thompson at RB and LB.

Wiz I'm as big as fan of Ferry as you, but I don't think he's the difference maker. He didn't start in arguably our four best games of the season, home to Brighton, away at Stoke, home to Burnley and home to Bournemouth.

For me those great performances were down to the whole team playing well, and the opposite v Orient, Preston and Colchester when everyone played poorly.

So I guess it is down to Paolo to get his tactics right and get the best out of his squad, regardless of who plays, and hopefully the long-ball style that suits us so poorly will be binned from now on.

Yes I'm well thanks jayden. Hope the same goes for you. I've only seen Story twice lately. The first time I thought he looked a real handful and the next time he looked pretty ineffective. But I think both were just brief appearances. Hard to form a view based on those. By the way, I just saw your post on role filling. Gave me a good chuckle!

Cheers Den ,a bit quite on here tonight now wheres Steve?

Coventry have been given the Arkells only (1200 ) and as of yesterday had about 60 remaining.

Suppose it depends how many they asked for and the cost of stewards/police for the extra few. Maybe its not worth it if we can't fill it.

Not good news that they are only bringing 1200 and once again we have a closed stratton bank to entertain a team with a fair size following. Find it hard they would take 2000 to Yeovil (if true) and not support their team playing us which is less than 1/2 the distance from brummie land.Was that their decision to only take 1200 tickets or ours not to open the bank. seems like a strange decision and makes one wonder if we want to sell out games

According to their fans site they think they can buy tickets on the day, I can see them bringing more than 1200 and will probably have them buying tickets for the town end if they're not wearing the colours, Which may cause a few problems for the police, but hope not.

Two very dangerous strikers for div 1 in McGoldrick and Cody McDonald, they beat York 4-0 Tuesday and have been installed favourites for the JPT and with new manager Robins not to be taken lightly.

Didn't think they could get 1200 in the Arkells away section...that's going to be a fair bit of noise as they are a good set of noise makers away from home.
---.
I'd have thought we should be looking at over 9,500 for tomorrow at least - probably one of the first fixtures noted at the start of the season for those who can't get to many games.
---.
Can we top 10,000!?

I'd have thought we should be looking at over 9,500 for tomorrow at least - probably one of the first fixtures noted at the start of the season for those who can't get to many games.

Can we top 10,000!?

Sap, remember the FL rules regarding allocation for away supporters under cover should be 10% of ground capacity, so we should be able to accomodate 1200 even if we are no better than pox and only uses 3 sides of our ground.

I gather there was a heavier than normal police presence at Arsenal when Coventry were visiting a few weeks ago. I suppose that was because of the numbers (8,000?) but I reckon the police might be quite busy on Saturday.

Does anyone else think the news on McCormack's injury (other thread) is a bit half-arsed? Last week we were told he had a slight hamstring injury. Now it's just "no, he's not playing". How serious is the injury and how long is his absence likely to be? Perhaps the Adver are already in the process of following this up.

Hi Den i hope you are well.We might get to see Story now,as you no i was expecting him to allready be playing regular so this may be his big chance i hope.

Had a funny dream last night that all the posters on here meet up in a pub and 10 of us were there and their was one other bloke doing the Tommy Cooper famous hat trick

Very funny Jayden, very funny!!

But people on here would need to google search ' Tommy Coopers hat trick' and then see Wizard in full flow!!

KNOW

Yes I'm well thanks jayden. Hope the same goes for you. I've only seen Story twice lately. The first time I thought he looked a real handful and the next time he looked pretty ineffective. But I think both were just brief appearances. Hard to form a view based on those. By the way, I just saw your post on role filling. Gave me a good chuckle!

Cheers Den ,a bit quite on here tonight now wheres Steve?

HELLO,Ive been getting some fishing in before the weather turns too cold,although that doesnt always stop me either.

As long as you are busy steve ,are you going to the game on sat?
