Swindon Town vs Doncaster Rovers MDT

[No Longer Posh Red]

I would love us to ditch the five/three at the back!

I think most of us would, the problem is we’ve recruited exclusively to play with wing backs and don’t have anyone to play a more defensive full back role

A mistake we already made previously.

Think Cox, Freckleton and Sobowale could play full backs. But we're not going to change, so it's moot really.

Think Cox, Freckleton and Sobowale could play full backs. But we're not going to change, so it's moot really.

Definately Freckleton, Longelo and Sobowale can all play fullback and have done previously.

Cox is more of an ex winger turned into a wingback (his own words in the interview he gave BBC).

But agreed, I think 90% probably of us would prefer a 4 at the back rather than the 3 with wingbacks.

Molyneux is going to decimate our left hand side.

Think he scored twice against us last year as well?

He is their most creative player by far and agree if we give him time and space on our left behind Cox he will be a major problem for us.

"Quite a few of our lads have had illness, and in a really bizarre way, in a shorter period of time, they've all lost a considerable amount of weight," he said.

"We got one back, lost one. So thankfully, it's not been a situation where we've had six or seven out - and the youth team have been completely decimated with numbers.

(from the Moonraker report of the presser)

This illness that's been going round sounds a) really quite bad and b) like it's still going round

Probably caught verbal diahorrea off of our exceptional manager.

Moonraker article confirms Ameen back with the u18’s this weekend.

You could play 4-2-3-1 -

                                  Barden
       Sobowale       Wright.      Delaney     Longelo
                            Ofoborh.    Kilkenny
           McGregor.          McGurk.         Cox
                                   Glatzel

[Robinz]

That side has real potential

           McGregor.          McGurk.         Cox
                                   Glatzel

I think a 4231 formation would have suited each of our squads post Wellens better than 352

[Nemo]

In a 4-2-3-1 I think you'd play Smith as the front man and Glatzel off one wing, no?

I do want to see the Ofoborh-Kilkenny double pivot, like a L2 Pirlo/Gauttso, but it's not going to happen even if Kennedy goes, this is Russell's system.

You could but you are playing 4 players out of position and 2 who aren’t fully fit.

[Peter Venkman]

Personally I would pick a 433 4231 442 every time vs 3 at the back.

But I/we don't pick the formation and Kennedy/Russell seem stubborn in the 3 at the back formation.
