Accrington Stanley v Swindon Matchday Thread

See this is now listed as on Sky+.
Could be embarrassing.

Scary to think if they win they'll be 7 points ahead with a game in hand.

But my thinking is Bromley and Harrogate are more likely to be in a relegation battle come end of season.

Sounds a bit defeatest but I'd take a draw here and a win v Morecambe.

We can win mind. Of course we can.

You mean to take the other relegation spot ??

Every EFL game when there are no Premier league games for the international break is on Sky+ btw.

It's been mentioned before, but our next 4 or 5 league games against relegation fodder like ourselves are crucial.

I mean I don’t think we are the point where this match in isolation is a must win game…but…I certainly don’t think it’s hyperbolic to suggest the next months worth of fixtures are must pick up a decent amount of points games

'Players' section? FFS

Totally right. There a lot of games to be played in January-April.

But psychologically now is the time.

Hoping this season's 100% "international break" record continues.

I guess Cotterill has been called up for the Wales U21s?

And with King  off to York thats 2 players we dont need to pick.

Hopefully Ollie has seen enough from the rest of the players to actually play our best side which for me is still.

                           Bycroft
McGregor   Sobowale     Wright        Cox
                          Ofoborh
          Clarke       Kilkenny         McGurk   
                Glatzel             Smith

Not sure I’d play Sobowale CB in a back 4 (although I’ve advocated for it in the past), him and Wright looked a bit lost at sea in the brief period we played that against Gillingham.

Think if we go back 4 then I’d want to see Wright and Delaney/Hall try and build a partnership that isn’t chopped and changed, unless fitness dictates it.

Yes I only put Sobo at CB while there are doubt about fitness of Hall/Delaney.

To shoehorn McGregor in with Sobo at RB I would maybe play with just 1 striker in Glatzel/Smith with McGregor in his natural RW position in front of Sobo.

I think Holloway wants to play 3-4-3, which does suit our squad better than four at the back.

               Bycroft
    Sobowale Wright Delaney
McGregor Clarke Kilkenny Longelo
       Drinan Smith Glatzel

It's not quite what I'd pick but I don't hate it. Ofoborh in for Drinan seems like a more fan friendly selection but I think Holloway really wants to make three strikers happen.

I think you are right in that 3 at the back restriction. Longelo needs to pull his socks up though. Personally against lesser teams I'd like to try:
                            Bycroft
                Sobo Wright Delaney Cox
                          Offobohr
                 Clarke             Kilkenny
                          McGurk   
                      Smith Glatzel

 But having looked at it written down there's no width and I cant work out how to fit in McGregor.

[DV]

Think Holloway will stick with 433. If that’s the case this is how I’d line up.
Harsh omission for McGregor but don’t think he fits in at RB and without a RWB or RW role not sure he gets in…

                     Keeper
Sobowale - Wright - Delaney - Cox
     Clarke - Ofoborh - Kilkenny
      Glatzel - Smith - McGurk
