spudski Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 ....after yesterdays result, and the manner in which it was achieved, I firmly believe it will make our players even more determined to not let our top of the league status diminish. The unbeaten run was great, but those sort of things start to become another unwanted pressure. I can see the Club coming together, and becoming an even more determined fighting force...based on yesterday. Can see us thumping PNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Positive slant but disagree. 11 men and a composed professional win would have been far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Agreed, if we had 11 men and lost 3-0 there would be self doubt in the changing room, but because of the way they lost, their players celebrating like they won the world cup, champions league and the ryder cup in one day our players will be more motivated than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I agree with Spud here. At the end of the game, all the players together came to applaud the away support yesterday. Cotts then came onto the pitch and pointed to his head at us which I took it as ' staying switched on ' I wouldn't say we looked distraught yesterday, I think we looked more p***** off!

ciderage Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Never like losing a match, especially if cheated out of it, however yesterday's visit to Swindle makes you realise it's much better to be City fan rather than Town. Decaying ground, diving players, poor club attitude to everything, happy not being top of the league, low expectations...... COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 The manner of the defeat should just spur the players on to put right an injustice. I think SC will spend the week getting them to channel their anger the right way by hammering Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 It makes sense that a siege mentality could manifest itself in forthcoming results but time will tell. Had a text from my old man saying "All winning runs come to an end. Winning ways are what is important". Think he's quoting the Dadai Lama or someone.

handsofclay Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 My Grandfather said after the 1909 FA Cup Final that Manchester United had done us a massive favour in beating us as it was the first Cup Final appearance for both teams and because Utd won they would become soft and he doubted they would achieve anything of note thereafter but coz City had lost narrowly they'd be chomping at the bit to win something and a steely winning mentality would be instilled which would see us become one of the most successful clubs in the world. This thought provided him with much cheer on the journey home to Temple Meads and he couldn't, for the life of him, get his head around the fact why Utd would score such an obvious own goal by winning.

I think you've missed the point completely fella. Of course a win would have been perfect. But it was the manner in which we lost. Like Wilbs said...if we had lost playing poorly with 11 men, then it would have been of concern. But we lost fighting with 10 men for most of the game and only by one goal. The team feel they would have got a result with 11 men. What doesn't kill you...makes you stronger...a mere flesh wound, that will be licked clean, and the team will rally as one to make amends.

However, Sunderland recently lost 8 to nil at Soton but that spurred them to win their next away game so as someone once said 'Football is a funny old game'.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 OK playing against 10 men for virtually all of the game, but a 5-0 midweek defeat against a lower league team didn't do Swindle to much harm and that you would expect to be more devastating than 1-0 defeat against 11 men. As long as SC doesn't enrol the squad at the same acting school that Mr Cooper did after their Cheltenham defeat, it'll be fine. Just the tonic.

I'm sure I'll be proved correct eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Wish I could read what he said but that site is crap and just loads up ad after ad taking up the whole page, stopped accessing it ages ago. But I totally agree with your first post and can't wait for the PNE game - much like the players I suspect. I installed 'Ad blocker'...it works and speeds up websites loading.

Manon Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yep agree with this. On the face of it a horrible way to lose the run, but probably in reality the best possible circumstances in which to lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 As usual, Spudski- you're bang on the money. The only thing I can add is that I think yesterday will galvanise the fans as well. I just felt annoyed at the manner of the defeat and will just support this team even more- if that's possible!

Aizoon Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'd rather have had the three points but I take Spudski's point. What surprised me is that it makes me hate Swindon even more - didn't think it was possible Oh, and how much I despise the City 'fans' who are so ready to blame a City player for Swindon's successful cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
