Kingy would have been the absolutely perfect assistant manager to have any a lower league club. He had some serious strengths. Tactics was not one of them.

Hey. kicking for touch by the corner flag at every kick-off was a clear tactical masterstroke

Might see a few season tickets flying after the game.

Predicting a win, against the odds, in the blind hope we can get on board with this season, see signs that Lindsey can get a tune out of the players and show us what the plan is. Lose tomorrow, and anything but a win on Saturday, and it could turn toxic quickly, and none of us want that.

absolutely no reason we can’t win this evening.
Darcy and Clayton should both be starting.

Take a shot every time Irene Wellens or George Moncur are mentioned later.
You'll be dead in minutes.

Absolutely. That's how he arrived here lets not forget as Todd's assistant.

I think the longer it remains goal-less tonight, the better it is for us. There is a real danger of us getting pumped now and the reality of how much the result vs a weakened Carlisle team really flattered us will set in for some who want to start to see the reality of it.
I'd love to see Darcy start. Not sure what more he needs to do. Khan and Darcy in that midfield together has a lot of cause for optimism.

Me too. It would be very Swindon-esque to win a game in this situation. He's made it pretty clear he won't drop Reed, but I'd love it if he starts all of Clayton, Darcy and Khan. Them along with Wakeling have all shown serious promise. If you can't play the players that are actually playing quite well at a time when you're overall playing like shit, then something is seriously wrong and you're not learning.

2nd half at Carlisle Reed got much better and was more like last seasons player but in his previous 2 games and in the first half he was attrocious, couldnt find a red shirt even with fairly simple passes.
Not sure if its a fitness issue or his head not in the game since his mate Payne left but hes been poor.
I think Clayton "may" be able to replace him in DMC but I dont think Clayton has the passing range that an "in form" Reed has, but as long as he finds Town players with short passes then let others start moves, that may work.
Darcy reminds me a lot of Martin Ling, lightweight and loves to carry the ball, struggles tracking back but thats not his game.
A lot depends on how we set up today, will he go back to a 3 at the back? will he give the players who played at Carlisle another chance, after all he thought we played quite well!
I suspect we will start with the same starting line up as we did at the weekend, but this time we need to see Darcy come on if its not working to liven it up.
I still don't see us as having a very lively attack yet, even though McKirdy and Wakeling have obvious quality they don't seem to know each others game yet so both make runs that the other doesnt read yet and when we do get in good positions we dont have a striker in the middle threatening as I see Wakeling and Harry as wide attackers not central strikers.
