FT: SWINDON TOWN 2 - 4 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Citizen's Nephew]

Watters is a striker who’ll be on fire with our manager keeping faith and setting the team up for him. I’m looking forward to seeing more of him this season.

3-0 Wintle

Watters with a brilliant assist!

[Baloo]

Note to self: don’t get carried away.

We’re playing very well here mind.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

I will be beyond pissed off if Wintle doesn't start vs. Norwich.

Please don't hand a starting place to Ralls automatically.

[City123]

Lovely stuff

Don't think the opposition are up to much mind, but that's partly because we've made life really difficult for them - we just didn't score goals like that third one last season.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Swindon are awful but we're doing what we need to do.

We'll know soon enough how good we really are!

Bring on Norwich

[ccfcwelshlad]

Really positive first half. So much more movement and inventiveness than we have been used to.

I expect little this season but if today is an expression of our principles and we stick to them; it'll be a whole lot more enjoyable.

Our kids are winning at half time too

I know, it’s just nice to see some creativity. Really enjoyed that 1st-half. Swindon look dire tbf.

10000% this.

[Wash DC Blue]

Some lovely interplay.
Good to see Watters taking his goal with authority and also a nice assist for Wintles goal.

[Doucas]

You’re correct but it was 99.9 % as I was with you. Never want to see that happen ever again.

I just couldn't understand this, the lad has scored wherever he's been and has barely had a chance. He had his confidence destroyed that night and the fans piled in on him 'weak mentality' they said. 80% of the big fan accounts on Twitter including The Canton End absolutely slagged him off.

That's strange. The Canton End is one of the more optimistic accounts on there and is currently in love with all things Watters.

The doubters are slowly starting to turn to believers.

They all hate him, maybe, maybe its because he’s too good?

3 in 4 and we’re just getting started. 🚂 pic.twitter.com/BNWOYcpTKa

[Maurice Swan]

Last couple of goals he’s just popped-up in the right place for relatively straight-forward finishes. Good habit for a striker.

I, and many others, have said he is a natural striker. This season maybe he will have the chances from a far better midfield.

Yeah he's completely changed his mind this pre season, he had a group chat with like 100 fans in and massively slagged Watters off repeatedly. I ended up leaving the group because of it.

[Hilts]

Watters doing what hes proved he can do. Score goals against L2 teams. Add in hes playing with a Championship side against L2 opposition then its not suprising hes scoring.

Doing it at Championship level is another matter. Lets hope he proves the doubters wrong.

I know what you mean! I usually avoid here like the plague after a loss.

Can’t argue with that. I think that’s going to apply to this whole setup but it’ll take time and balls of steel from our manager.

[Tuerto]

**** me, talk about knee jerk! The season hasn't even started yet, give watters 40 games at championship level, not a ****ing friendly in Wiltshire.
