Swindon Town v Franchise FC Official Matchday Thread

[pauld]

The long ball to Smith is a workable tactic as he regularly outjumps the defender and nods the ball on

Not on Saturday he didn't - they were lumping balls up to him all afternoon and he was routinely beaten to it, think he only won one or two that I saw.

I think I saw more than that but, given that you are right, how many of those two or three times did he have a team mate ready to pounce on the second ball?

There may well have been, but he seemed to me at least to routinely get beaten to it. However, your point stands as he had bugger all support so even if he had won it, there was no-one there to capitalise anyway.
