Swindon Town (A) - FA Cup 2nd Round

[boltonboris]

This is appalling. To get absolutely smacked like this is a fucking insult. I hope there are a few strong words filtered down. What an opportunity to do something in the competition and we’ve not just lost, we’ve been annihilated 

[Duck Egg]

Jesus

[Farnywhite]

Fucking end the game quick before they get revenge for the thumping at burnden 

[boltonboris]

As much as I’m sure we all like Schumacher, his away record is nothing short of pathetic and it needs to improve. It’s going to cost us yet another season 

[paulhanley]

On the face of it the league campaign benefits from lack of cup complications but this is shocking. Indeed our overall away form is concerning and this is not wholly out of keeping with some previous performances on the road. 

Tuesday night at Mansfield is what counts now. Big reaction needed. I would pair Erhahon and Simons with Dempsey ahead of them, bring back the first choice full backs and perhaps even give Forss a chance as central striker. 

For today though - hang your heads in shame BWFC.

[Lostock Whites]

I'm genuinely glad we have Mansfield away in just a couple of days time.

Give these fuckers a chance to put it right.

It's all well and good playing in our fantastic stadium and pitch in front of 22,000 every week. But we simply have to show up away from home at these tight grounds. 

Until we do so, we will forever remain in League 1.

[Hoppy]

This is so embarrassing 

[Winchester White]

I personally wasn't arsed before kick off about this game but to get thumped 4-0 is fucking woeful.

SS needs to use this game as a wake up call for all concerned.

[only1swanny]

its mind boggling how we play so differently away. 

Pre match travel mentality?

[bwfc87]

Feel sorry for the fans that travelled down. Proper shit show. They’d better put this right on Tuesday.

There is no way they need the money like everyone else a big draw and it’s cash for Jan window which now limits our spending. If they wanted to fuck anything off it would be shitty league one and two cup 

[Marc505]

Away form dire.

Calm down you bunch of wet wipes.

See what happens on Tuesday 

[desperado]

It’s a great day for TSL, Simons, Dempsey, Johnston, Cissoko and Tutu!

Too many combinations that just didn’t work today.

I’m sure Schumacher will remain level headed and sort it out for Tuesday.

Anyway 81 grounds ticked off

defending was terrible for every goal

[Ani]

The problems away from home are nothing new.

Playing 2 wingers with 2 forwards does not work as has been clear for weeks. 
 

The lack of midfield is ridiculous given we have numerous players who can play there. 

[Cheese]

Fucking awful day at the office. Thank fuck it wasn't a League game.

[Marc505]

Well, at least Peterborough away isn't going to midweek.

[noxid]

Poor result after bad team selection but I'm glad we're out. We don't have a good enough squad for promotion, vertu and fa cups. Look what's happened today with the two teams already knocked out. They have extended their lead at the top, adding more pressure. Hopefully now we have avoided any injuries and learnt about some of the side players who aren't good enough for the first team apart from Gale

Although a fucking shambles today its important we don't dwell on it too much , we go again at Mansfield , who are in poor form and suffering injuries and a long 120 minutes for them today . Hopefully some first teamers rested up and back on it Tuesday.

 

[Whitestar]

Was Dalby up to his usual standard?
