Remember watching David Platt playing for Crewe against us in the 80s.
Platty played 3 times against us for Crewe in the mid 80s and scored once too, fellow future England midfielder Geoff Thomas also scored that game.

Thomas went on to score twice more against us, once for Barnsley and once for Palace in 12 games and only once ever was on a losing team against us, and that was when he was at Crewe. Platt only played twice more against us after leaving Crewe and failed to score against us again for Villa and then Forest.

They also launched the careers of Robbie Savage who played against us twice for them.
Dele Adebola who played 9 times against Swindon.
Future England midfielder Danny Murphy who played 3 times against us.
England cap Seth Johnson, also a midfielder.
Jamaican international Clayton Donaldson.
Wales international midfilder David Vaughan.
Swindon born England international striker Dean Ashton.
Eire international Paul Tierney, albeit he was only on loan there.
All of whom played vs Swindon while at Crewe.

In games between Swindon and Crewe over the years Swindon have come out as winners 21 times with 6 draws and 16 defeats in the previous 41 meetings, scoring 64 goals and conceding 50.

In games at the County Ground though Swindon have won 14 of the 21 games, drawing 3 and losing just 4 of them, scoring 40 times and conceding 20 goals.

Swindon have just 1 defeat against them at the County Ground in the past 11 games dating back to 2002. That was a 1-2 defeats in 2019 when Doughty scored with a penalty.

Our biggest win vs them was a 5-0 in 2013 when Mason scored a hattrick and Ranger and Luongo completed the rout.

Crewes biggest win was a 1-3 in 2002 when Super Sam scored with a penalty.

We have had 6 penalties against them in the 21 games and 2 times they have scored OG's. We have only conceded 1 penalty against them at home.

Makes sense, ex Town and Crewe player and although he is not the most eloquent of commentators he is enthusiastic and friendly and can read the game well. I enjoyed him earlier in the season vs Stevenage even though we were convincingly beaten in that game.

I dont think the 352 reverting to 4 at the back when going forwards works very well at all.

I hope we start more as the 442/433 that we finished the game with. We looked far better 2nd half when we went 4 at the back.

He has deserved a goal and is due one after hitting the post at Mansfield, hes never scored a league goal as yet after 101 league level games.

He has only ever scored 1 goal for Yeovil in the Conference.

I still think it was 442 last week but the midfield 4 was 3 CMs 1 LM and no RM.

We definately ended the 1st half like that but early in the game I would suggest it was definately FBT as the left of the 3 CB's, it was flexible but not actually very good, the goal we conceded showed up that. FBT, Harries and Brennan weren't sure where they were supposed to be for the goal all looking at each other.

Did Lindsey say last week why Shade wasn't playing or on the bench, as hes not there again today, must be an injury surely?
