Swindon v Exeter pre match chat and matchday thread

[Banker]

Ooh, 20mph winds at 3pm tomorrow. Good news.

You're joking, not another one ? Oh, for god's sake, honestly, I can't stand this, there's too much wind blowing at the moment, why does it need to do it.

[Peter Venkman]

Swindon ask for help from fans for tomorrows game vs Exeter!

[Audrey]

20mph? That the merest zephyr.

Like this?

I’d love to own one of them now.

As long as I didn’t actually need it to get me somewhere.

Apparently the Exeter fans have been given the Great Western and Cheekies, as were the gash  Strange

Who wants some hope for the Exeter City (in 8th place) game tomorrow?

Our record vs Top Half teams:
P 14, W 8, D 3, L 3, Pts 27

Our record vs Bottom Half:
P 13, W 3, D 7, L 3, Pts 16

Which in a curious statistical find, are identical records to our home and away records!

Swindon Town scale of competence:

Away to top half - fucking dynamite
(P 8, W 6, D 1, L 1, Pts 19)

Away to bottom half - decent
(P 6, W 2, D 2, L 2, Pts 8 )

Home to top half - decent
(P 6, W 2, D 2, L 2, Pts 8 )

Home to bottom half - shocking really
(P 7, W 1, D 5, L 1, Pts 8 )

Here's how many games to go vs each segment (as it stands - tables change of course)

Home vs Top Half - 5 games
Home vs Bottom Half - 5 games

Away vs Top Half - 3 to go
Away vs Bottom Half - 6 to go

[No Longer Posh Red]

Davidson in with a chance tomorrow

Did he mention what the problem was?

Looked a bit like cramp when he went down after they scored

Garner said tight hamstring

[Godd002]

I hope that Garner makes a few changes on Saturday just to shake it up a bit. With Reid suspended and Davison presumably injured, I would leave out Hunt, Conroy and Gladwin and go with this starting XI.

Woolacott
Tomlinson, O'Brien, Cooper, Odimayo, Iandolo
Lyden, Williams, Barrie
Mckirdy, Mitchell-Lawson

Hoping that Tomlinson will offer more attacking threat than Hunt, with the option of  cutting in on his left foot.

 I agree gladwin and conroy need to sit.  I would like to see a formation change to control the midfield more, especially if we were to get a lead.  seems like once we get a lead without a midfield presence the other team just keeps pounding us until we give up a shit goal or set piece.   

Maybe a 4-3-3 since we really dont have another striker other than mckirdy so use speed on the outsides?  Sporting KC here plays this with the 3 midfielders in a triangle (a holding midfielder to help with D some) in the midfield and the wingbacks run.

Something just needs to change because what is happening at home simply isnt working.

[pantomime dame]

Another exciting 90 minutes of end to end, toe to toe nail biting football. Or maybe 90 minutes of Garnerball, devoid of thrills and spills. Enough to send the crowd into a coma.
4 - 1 to Exeter.

Haven't seen Exeter play this season but can't imagine them being a big physical side or a get in your face kind of team, which would suit us. If they try to 'out pass' us I can see us winning this fairly comfortably. Going to go for a 2-0 home win.

[Audrey]

Got my bet on. Included Exeter. Guaranteed Town win.

You can all thank me later.

With an old school ex-centre half as manager no surprise there’s more physicality these days in contrast to the tippy tappy Tisdale era, but not overly so. Difference is we don’t tend to be bullied any more, which was often the case previously. Should be a good match up, looking forward to it !
