brendywendy the last thingt they need is to be involved in some of the drubbings we have got, or expose them to the bile of the bitter and twisted doom and gloom brigade.


Oh right you are, yes I had forgotten it was actually the supporters fault all along. I imagine when relegation day comes all of you RTG wearers will somehow blame the likes of me :roll:


nope, just saying ruining some 19 yr olds confidence right now probably aint the best tactic. one mistake from pearce and half the board would be calling him a discrace
they aint good enough, otherwise theyd be getting offers in from bigger clubs than swindon for em.
wait till end of jan before storming the madejski gates, please, thats all i ask


errrm i dont think a 3rd round replay of a competition we dont care about, with man utd waiting for us if we do is particuarly high pressure

also pearce may not be prem class yet, but he is still a damn sight better than gunnar at CB

was clearly talking about the prem survival fight since everyone is arguing that pearce should have played yesterday

and clearly pearce isnt better than brynn or cisse
or coppell would have played him
i trust his judgement more than anyones on here

or are you suggesting hes deliberately playing weaker players as some sort of arch conspiracy with madejski to take us down where we are more comfy?


nope, i just think that coppell is too scared of putting him in

if you read the interviews he gave during the week he has been saying how special pearce is and how he will have a long career, but when it comes down to it coppell will not take a risk; similar to when it comes down to transfers.....coppell has talked about how he will show ambition in the market for the last 6 months, but when it comes down to the crunch he will not spend big money

any one who saw the defensive performance yesterday will tell you that Pearce would have to be appalling to have not done a better job than cisse or bryn

agree and cup games are ideal to do that, but does coppell do that? no because he does not have the guts to do something unexpected, as we have seen with substitutions

i didnt expect to see lita come on ahead of long yesterday
still didnt work

& just cos its unexpected doesnt mean its a good idea

"coppell unexpectedly played 3 teenage boys, a dog in midfield, and himself as keeper, we of course won the game 17 -0

christ you're a stubborn one aren't you

and it was lita and long who created harpers goal, therefore i would suggest if they had been brought on after 60 mins instead of 80 we might have had more of a chance

and drag off the one player who can create something out of the blue up front?and our best defensive asset too?!
in hindsight, ok they looked ok, when the game was already dead, but who knows what would have heppened


and yes i am stubborn!!!it one of my most irritating character traits

i have been known to vehemently arge a point even once i have belatedly realised i was wrong

but im tired now, bored of trying to bring a little sunshine into your days

stay in the gloom for all i care

still more likely to grab a goal out of nowt than any of the other three


and copps did take him off didnt he?

bollocks! i really am off now

bathing in the warm glow of my positivity

all these negative vibes will have an effect you know

negative thinking leads to negative outcomes
we just need to believe! :wink: :lol:

if there is one thing you can knock Coppell for it's an over-reliance on players he knows. He does tend to adopt a "better the devil you know" approach to selection problems rather than giving an untried player a go. Nobody knows whether Pearce could do a decent job for us, nor Henry on the wing, but you would have thought this would be an ideal game to try and find out - perhaps more so than an away game.

Maybe our young players just aren't good enough?

Ever thought of that?

maybe we will never know until they are given a chance in an actual first team game

i know some will say that coppell sees them in training and he knows best blah blah blah, but the fact is that until we see them in a proper game neither him or us will know

no, by jove, what a revelation. what a remarkable insight. How could that possibility have never occurred to me before? How do you come to have such wisdom? Are you a shamen, perhaps a buddha for the footballing masses? They should give money to people like you for seeing the things that others cannot see. You are genius, and even as I say it, the accolade doesn't seem nearly enough.

I'd like to see a couple of the youngsters get a game, especially Pearce and Henry. Would be good to see Robson-Kanu and Church (if he's back from his loan) on the bench.

Personally I'm not fussed about progress in the Cup. Its MUCH more important to focus on what could be a relegation battle

On the 25th August Coppell gave a start to Golbourne, Fae, Long, De La Cruz and Bikey. That's FIVE fringe players. The result, we were stuffed by a team we should have beaten easily. A team that we had done the double over the previous season. Bolton Wanderers.

Yes he gave them starts because of his injuries and suspensions but not out of preference...big difference.

Yet Long and Bikey in particular appear quite regularly for us now. :roll:
