Only thing to look forward to is Hill’s post match interview
‘building for the future
‘unlucky’
‘disappointed’
‘got to do better in possession’The issue is Hill had a small pool to pick from due to the Embargo, having said that what improvement have we seen from Cox? I still back him but we’ve got to see some improvement otherwise this club won’t last in NL.

I see the goals per game dropped off a cliff as soon as the Swann family thought they could sign footballers themselves without any footballing input (except from Will’s agent mate).
Has anybody else noted that Bunn had the weakest shot in the football
league – I’m surprised the ball makes it to the goal line2 users thanked author for this post.
2 goals in 14 hours of football tells the tale. We can look at the positives (Sinclair was really good tonight) but we have no goalscoring threat. The players who put a shift in are either on loan or have 6 month contracts thanks to the wonderful embargo.

A bit of schadenfreude but you cannot argue with it. The state of the ground is a perfect reflection of its owner.

The problems manifested themselves later on – absolutely suicidal decisions to appoint son as chief scout, turning off all funding almost overnight (maybe his wife stopped his money I don’t
know) 11 managers in 9 years, u-23’s built up then disbanded (actually become the first team) awful recruitment without any football knowledge, a loan leading to crippling embargo which results in the loss of our league status – but it is the constant untruths spouted in the press that sum up his tenure – he has zero credibility now and knows it – hence his absence from SUFC10 users thanked author for this post.
Agree Les – at least 3/4 times second half the hole/gap in midfield was astonishing – it was absolutely inevitable. Rowe again is nowhere near good enough as a footballer – part time or otherwise – to play him in that pivotal role is near suicidal add to that he cannot run at any pace whatsoever; but its not just him the whole club is just rotten from top to bottom no manager can save us.
I fear for our existence because this team, this club isn’t stopping the slide in NL it will go further. Those who say I don’t care where we are I’ll support the club whatever league miss the point completely. This chairman (who didn’t turn up again) is destroying a club and a community.

Very simplistic to say its a narrative some
posters have against Swann – you had to use Google to help you find a positive about the club you support.1 user thanked author for this post.
I reckon Land Registry would be a better source rather than googling some phrase – I don’t know who owns it or what Swann has improved – but if that is his greatest achievement I think he’s still in debit by some massive margin.
Maybe we have reduced the number of arrests due to fan disorder as not many bother anymore?
Pothole sizes have improved..
I’m struggling now….

His end of season statement will be ‘i can guarantee we will not get relegated to NL north’…..

I don’t think he’s been at many matches this year (maybe 2?)for whatever reason but I think SUFC is way down his list of priorities, if he’s any sort of human he would be embarrassed by the way the club has been managed and is now facing and end to 72 years of continuous league football – shows a pretty bad precis of his abilities in the other areas so keeping clear is probably right thing to do (in his mind)

I wish them the best of luck as always but we’re doomed. Have been for a while – ask any neutral to look at the table and pick two for relegation – some may stray away from Oldham but nobody would not pick us. Mathematically we’re some way away from it however I predict grass roots day as the match relegation is confirmed – sets the young ones up nicely for a life of supporting SUFC

I’m going to be controversial and; whilst I agree with nearly all, I don’t believe Beestin is any good, long covid or not his distribution is awful, he rarely gets up to speed with the game and loses possession far too easily – counted over a dozen times he’s lost the ball leading to counter attacks – all this before he had COVID. Another dud I’m afraid although not quite in the league as Hallam – the state of this club is summed up by the fact we offered him a 2 yr deal! And he calls himself a businessman!

Were any of the Swann’s there today? Fair enough if he’s ill but were any board members other than SE?

Remember when KH said the next 7 games are the ones that will define us – we’ve played 6 of them and lost 6.
1 user thanked author for this post.
I share the sentiments of OP however lets just watch them perform for the next few games and see what they’re about. If Hill has picked some duds we’ll soon see it, but these set of players are our last hope of league survival.
I’ve pencilled in Bristol away to either celebrate or say goodbye to league status.

Swann stated there is no point anybody purchasing shares. would be good to have fan representation on the board like other clubs (on a side note i see the Raith Rovers one resigned following Goodwillie appointment)

Why can’t Swann offer free gas from all the stuff he spouts? Would get 8,000 in

Their local derby with Rochdale – they’ll have thought this might not come around anytime soon.
But I agree this match is the one to forget Swann for 90 minutes and think Keith and the 11
players out there and get down to the ground. This for me is the match which could kick start something; fingers crossed for 3/4 more players in by Monday and work all week on winning the game.15 users thanked author for this post.
No issue in selling Loft – he wasn’t as good as he thought he was, the issue I have is he left very early in January, we’ve played 6 lost 6 – never done that before and we played the last third of this match trying to get back into it with no striker on the pitch. Ensure the one coming in is signed and sealed then let him go – what you shouldn’t do is promise the fans he won’t leave without a replacement lined up and then true to form…..

You’re assuming Swann knows what he’s doing. He came on the radio and did exactly the opposite of what he promised live on air. Credibility zilch

Taft really has no idea what he’s doing the majority if the time. One occasion second half a simple forward pass was on, he decided to step over and pass back putting keeper under pressure and out for attacking throw.
Distribution heading awareness all completely missing.1 user thanked author for this post.
finished game with no recognised striker, Green isn’t a recognised footballer (along with Taft). A month ago we were ahead of Stevenage – they are 12 points ahead of us now (having done business early). We have to get Swann’s shit out before we get anybody in. Just hope that we can emulate Stevenage but need strikers in. Still too much dross on the pitch. Signings give promise but we’ve been here before…
