Why don’t you ask if you can be involved in the next one WonderGoals? Stop hiding behind your avatar and ask Peter yourself.
Matt is free to get my mobile number if he asks for it and next time there’s a forum, I’ll ask a few choice questions.
That’s an open invitation to Matt if he wants it.
I’m not hiding anywhere.
I won’t suspect he’d like it but I’ll ” In the nicest way possible” I’ll make Swann feel the most uncomfortable he’d have felt in a long time.
I won’t take politician speak either, I’ll ask the question until I’m satisfied with the answer or he flatly refuses to a point he doesn’t want to go any further.
Either way, I’ll give it a damn good go.
My number is here Matt if you want it. I’ll gladly pass it on to you.

Regarding the questioning, do you think it possible that, prior to broadcast, the boys went through the questions they had ready and Mr Swann selected the questions they could ask and to which he could give a vague non-answer?
That’s what I was thinking but I’m back to what I said before, if that is indeed the case and you can’t ask the questions that really need answering….what is the real point of it ?

No excuse whatsoever to not play
O’Malley Taft Onariase/Mcgahey Clarke
Eisa Beestin Karcan Gillead
Loft and Green
Look, loft and Green are hardly ideal but why would anybody with even half a braincell throw everything else out the window just because Green is up there with Loft instead of a proper established striker ?
We do have quality here, especially Gillead and Eisa out wide but they’re being played in such a way that they’re completely stifled.
O’Malley is a quality attacking LB, he even ended up getting dropped for Brown. I don’t know what’s going off down at GP but it’s nonsensical whatever it is.
Why the hell doesn’t Cox just think to himself that his way clearly isn’t working and just go 4/4/2 with 2 upfront ?
It can’t be that hard to come to that conclusion, surely ?
Get Dales back involved far another option on the right hand side and least try and win games of football.
Cox was getting somewhere with 4/4/2 but understandably changed it when Mcgahey, Onariase, Brown and Van Veen were injured but least we have better defenders available again.
If anybody reads this from the club….please get on your hands and knees and tell Cox to show even an ounce of positivity and field a proper side with the intention of actually winning the game.
Not matter how hard awaywego tries, Swann will never have sex with him !
Well Cox said last week that he won’t be fully fit until end of February. I’d rather wait until he get’s his fitness up, instead of rushing him back early and have him crocked for the rest of the season.
Where is this new striker then…has he gotten lost ?
not sure why people are getting worked up about the questions asked.
I wouldn’t say more worked up, more disappointed. If you’re not sure why people were disappointed at the questions asked, then I give up.
It’s almost like Matt and co were shit scared to ask anything too challenging. All that get’s me is, Matt has a lot to say on twitter venting his disappointment like the rest of us and then has him on a live forum and his arse virtually drops out.
I bet they’re told by Swann or have an inkling if they push him even a little bit by asking questions then it will be the end of it, which begs the question if that’s the case “which is appears to be”…..what’s the point in it all if you feel you’re unable to ask the questions which needs answering ?
I mean if you’re too scared to ask the questions that need answering, not sure what purpose it serves.
People went out their way to send questions in, some of which were fantastic but again, if you daren’t ask the questions in case Swann throws a massive tantrum…is it worth peoples time ?

Actually Swann is spending a fortune,Kings Lynn estimate they need £400,000 for the remaining part of the season, so imagine Swanny needs to spend more,if it’s small change to you WG you should make a bid for the club.
How much is he paying you ?
Who else would take it on ?. If Swann does the right thing and writes hits loans off, I can see there being interest.
Swann’s not exactly spending a fortune is he !
All I wanted is a chairman to actually act and behave as a chairman…not a deluded super scout or wannabe tactician…just a simple chairman.
There must be one out there somewhere surely ?
Chairman to put the structure back in the club. Sign a scout “not their own son” and leave the football down to football people.
Is that too much to ask ?
If they completely ripped Swann apart for 2 hours we probably wouldn’t hear from him again
Look, I appreciate all Matt does, he does a sterling job. I’ve already said so. Nobody wanted them to rip into him for 2 hours but he could have been given a much tougher examination.
I wouldn’t want anybody to have a a verbal battle with him, all I wanted was tough questions to be asked.
There were some sterling pressing questions sent in…one’s people really need answering but nothing really got put to him.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Complete and utter waste of time.
Blamed covid for nearly everything and used politician speel to explain the few more difficult questions he got put to him…resulting in him speaking a lot but not really saying anything.
I wanted Turan and Jarvis records read out to him and asked why if the records were so bad, why did we choose sign them on 2 yr contracts ?
Those are the kind of questions I want answering. I want to know who makes up this so called transfer committee and whether it’s going to be scrapped, now that another raft of poor players have been signed.
That needs asking.
Mr Swann got very, very easy ride there.
1 user thanked author for this post.
The hosts don’t help matters. I appreciate all the hard work Matt puts in with this site and the twitter page but he and the others could have made it a bit more challenging for him.
Some of those questions sent in were cracking….non got asked though. Time is an issue but even still, ask a few of the difficult one’s.
That’s the last one I’m wasting my time listening to.
Damp squib.
1 user thanked author for this post.
I’ve noticed the hosts didn’t even ask one of those hard questions which were sent in. All very nicey, nicey.
If even some of the hard questions don’t get put to him, why do we even get asked to sent them in, in the first place ?
All a waste of time.

Some amazing excuses tonight!
I’m sat here in disbelief
Still not acknowledging it’s his meddling that’s the cause of all this. No wonder we’re in the crap we’re in with him in charge.
Swann say’s he’s learned things since last season and yet still signs utter crap due to not having a clue what he’s doing.
In complete denial.
“Were the players who we’re brought in before Cox was signed of manager, going to arrive even if already had the manager in place ?
Swann…… “covid hit”
Answer the effing question.
Talks without really saying anything…in other words yes.
January 17, 2021 at 1:33 pm in reply to: At what point do we consider the manager is the problem? #201148I’m sure Cox said not long back Van Veen won’t be fully fit till end of Feb, by then it will be too late.
I still don’t know why he doesn’t stick Green up there with Loft and go 4/4/2.
I don’t think having another striker will mean 4/4/2 anyway. I think he’s deadset and stubborn now to go down this route with this formation.
Lillis needs to get gone, seemingly adds nothing.
No idea. Experienced manager who’s ideally had prior experience to steering teams away from relegation scraps.
Who is out there, anybody know ?
I may be insane but I still think an experienced manager and a striker or two on loan “half decent one’s” we’ll survive.
Keep with Cox and fail to sign anybody, we may as well write the season off and not bother.
To be honest, I think I gave Cox too much credit there…even if we got a few strikers in and kept with Cox we’d still be dead certs for the drop.
Cox isn’t up to it..simple as that
Swann is to blame, no doubt about it. Cox needs to go as well though. Cox has been dealt a bad hand but he’s so far out of his depth it doesn’t even warrant thinking about.
It’s crystal clear we need a striker or two but this formation is dreadful and it’s Cox who keeps fielding it so he needs to get gone.
Unacceptable.
Were the previous records of Jarvis and Turan checked before signing the pair of them on 2yr contracts ?
Turan 80 games, 11 goals 2 of which were for Weston Super Mare.
Jarvis 99 games, 18 goals 14 of which were scored for Basingstoke Town in the 2016-17 season.If they were checked…what was your reasoning for signing the pair of them ?
Stick that to him…piss taking sod
January 16, 2021 at 8:51 pm in reply to: At what point do we consider the chairman is the problem? #201086Harsh reality is that Swann in my opinion came here to pad out his property portfolio with the ground development, but subsequently fell out with the council…fell a bit out of love with spending money and has now pretty much given up on the club.
Hence why we are where we are. That’s just my opinion. I’m not saying that’s the case but just what I think may have gone on here.
You don’t sign players like Turan and Jarvis if you have even an ounce of ambition left as a chairman.
I stuck their records on here few days back, it’s beyond a joke.
I said Swann playing real life football manager with the club would result in this. Anybody with half a brain cell could see this coming.
How many times were fans getting on at Humberside to tell him about recruitment and every time he brushed it all off with his “I know best attitude” and now look !
January 16, 2021 at 12:25 am in reply to: I wonder what Bradford fans will be spouting tonight #200942Who cares ?. I’m more interested how we do later today.
January 16, 2021 at 12:10 am in reply to: At what point do we consider the manager is the problem? #200939what more experience or knowledge of the game do you want WG
Managing is a hell of a lot different to just “having knowledge”. Wilcox stumbled over the line with a team littered with quality and Adkins was a one off.
Cox isn’t equipped to do this job…if he was, he wouldn’t be setting the team up with 3 defensive midfielders and one striker upfront with nobody within 20 yards of him.
Tactically he’s nowhere near what’s required.
January 15, 2021 at 1:00 am in reply to: At what point do we consider the manager is the problem? #200897If we do manage to stay up, Swann needs to move on. To be honest he’s the root cause…we need a chairman to actually be a chairman.
Not a chairman/football recruiter/tactician or whatever else he probably thinks he is…a simple chairman will do for me.
If we get that and get one that allows the football people to take care of the footballing side of things, we’ll be a long way to sorting ourselves out.
I would say we’d be fine if Swann stepped back and allowed other people to take charge of player recruiting e.t.c but we’ve been down this road a dozen times before.
It’s boring now, if anything was going to change it would have already.
Vader, to be fair I actually really feel for Cox. I do believe he’s doing his best but his best isn’t good enough due to the fact he has no real knowledge of how to do better.
That’s the big issue…people say experience isn’t the be all and end all but with the position we’re in, it’s paramount.
Appointing a rookie manager with that squad was bizare to say the least. Lillis end of this season can go for me, not sure what the hell he’s brought to the party.
That’s what I was thinking. Surely this transfer committee can’t have seen the goal scoring records of Turan and Jarvis ?
Never mind footage, just surely reading those records for the pair of them and having half a braincell would lead you not to sign them.
2 year deals for the pair of them ?…it’s beyond a joke !
I have a sneaking suspicion whoever it was down at the club went on recommendations and thought that was enough.
This is why football clubs have the structure they have in place “scouts” to not allow this crap to happen.
I know Turnbull hadn’t unearthed any gems in what seems like years but do you really think he would have recommended either of those two ?
Least a scout/scouts would have read their previous records for crying out loud. Due diligence and all that jazz.
It’s utter bullshit with Cox making that excuse. Green, Gillead in the no 10 role or even young Jessop upfront are all possibilities.
We could even give Dales a go up there. Utter nonsense.
I put Turan’s record on here the other day and it was absolutely shocking.
What were this transfer committee thinking ?
Jarvis record is equally as bad. Played 109 games, he’s scored 20 goals. 14 of those were scored for Basingstoke Town in the 2016-2017 season.
In the 3 years before he signed for us he played 52 games and scored 4 goals. 3 of those were in 25 games for Sutton United and the other 1 he scored for Hemel Hempstead Town on loan. 1 goal in 6 games.
Turan’s record was even worse. When I looked it was even worse than I feared.
I mean come on….is this where Swann see’s us now ?
I fortunately forgot about him. If he has a suitor he needs to get gone once McGahey is back.
January 14, 2021 at 7:41 pm in reply to: At what point do we consider the manager is the problem? #200874I feel for Cox – proper stitched up with a really crap squad with at least 4 strikers who should not be footballers (or part time at best).
Coupled to that he does not have the applicable attributes to be a football manager and is way out of his depth.
Take a moment to think about a local lad played for the club supports the club has the best interests of the club but stitched up by his boss and his own abilities – cannot be a nice feeling.
People understand that, me included. Now, what annoys me is Cox fielding us up primarily not to lose with zero ambition. That I won’t accept.
There are a few options Cox can explore but simply won’t, so it’s on him. Stick Green up top with Loft or stick Gillead behind Loft in a 4/4/1/1 formation to offer support, stick Green RW and promote Dales to sub bench to cover for the RW position.
Playing that formation with 1 isolated striker and 3 defensive midfielders is unforgivable.
Cordner was dog poo…sorry. Cordner has size and power but never had the right mentality, he’s the biggest but softest CB I’ve seen.
I’ll be surprised if he cuts it at even conference level.
I told you he’d end up going back. Taft in, Onariase due back at the weekend and Mcgahey about a week later with Barks as 4th CB.
I saw something on twitter suggesting we might be in for an ex cod player James Tilley, winger/attacking midfielder…was released with 8 months of his contract left.
23 yr old, can play on both wings and in midfield.
Probably bull poo but he’s versatile and contract to end of season might be ok. Started off well there but apparently dipped off.
