Al-Habsi is a good keeper but I would probably have let Walton or even Casper deputise due to familiarity and in Walton's case, the opportunity to develop.

Forget about his lack of commitment, it's the fact his abilities were deemed worthwhile by Burke and co that should concern everyone.

It was almost as special as Gardners back heel???

I thought Dunk, Walton, Ince and JFC all had decent games given their age, experience, the opposition and the woeful formation we play.

Exactly, Brentford setup to exploit the space behind the full backs with forwards peeling wide or pacey players directly carrying the ball from deep positions into vast gaps. This tactic has been repeated in most games (most impressively by Boro) and all Sami has done is rotate the midfielders...

100% agreement from me.

Ulloa was from a Spanish scout associated with Poyet. Burke binned the scout???

I said in the summer that only Stockdale and Stephens represented an improvement on recent outgoing players and his signing success rate would ultimately be judged as pathetic - especially given the expense involved. Also, his failings in existing player appraisals, contract management and...

Same as I said in the summer, Steve Coppell to replace Burke and McDermott as manager.

Really impressed today, made 4-5 key saves and distribution was very creative.

Firstly, Hyppia has been dealt a sh@t hand by Burkes dealings. That said, based on what I've seen to date, I don't think we can afford to wait until January to give him a chance of restructuring. We will be hopelessly adrift by then.

Steve Coppel as DOF and Brian McDermott as Head Coach.

One other thing to point out is that for the first goal, the breaking player took a really heavy touch which was much more noticeable from the north stand than from the camera angle.

Sadly this sums it up.

Bottled coming out for the first as he was dwelling on getting away with clattering a player beforehand. Totally at fault for both goals for me and needs to be dropped.

I now think this needs to happen ASAP. Coppell or Brady in as manager (alongside a young coach they can nurture) before taking up the DOF role.

Total lack of width in advanced areas, constantly over hit balls into channels, sloppy first touches and poor shooting from distance. piss poor today.

Firstly if Swindon had composure in the final third we would have been stuffed out of sight. Real lack of communication it seemed (Greer and Stockdale looked to be missed in this area). Kasim looks the real deal and worth consideration. Casper - 5 - One good save, many dodgy moments and erratic...

Technically by far the worst player on the pitch today and really poor communication / decision making.
