Accrington Stanley v Swindon FA Cup 2nd round MDT

[Peter Venkman]

A win would be nice for the fans.

So much rides on Ollies line up and tactics though. Please get back to 4 at the back, bring back Sobowale please.

A nice distraction from the league and ownership problems, and, on the day anything can happen.

Personally though I can't see us being in the 3rd round draw on Monday.

[Legends-Lounge]

That conundrum again. We want a win. But that prolongs the agony of having the current dysfunctional ownership. A win and we could end up being dawn against a money spinning giant, god forbid. A loss would be all things normal at Swindon Town with a moral boosting, well we got to round two this year….

Rather get battered to bring bad press. We can afford to lose a non league game (no pun intended)

I was looking at recent form (general) and this tickled me

https://footystats.org/england/efl-league-two/form-table

• Dangerously poor : Swindon Town FC's performance has statistically been the weakest in the EFL League Two. They've been abysmal recently with just 0 wins in last 5 games. The average points per game comes out to be 0.4 making them the worst performer. They've only scored 7 goals and conceded 11! If they keep this up we're not sure if the fans can bare watching Swindon Town FC play.

Third round TV game would bring a lot of national publicity though. That's the best case I think.

[4D]

There is that.

Holloway is way out of his depth. He’s a busted flush. Nonsensical line-ups, bizarre subs.

Revert to a 4231 please

Soborwale

Olie has to:

Switch goalkeepers

Play four at the back

Start Sobowale, need his pace (Said post-match, he was "in" for Saturday, could be on the bench, only)

Bench Tshimanga, start Drinan or Glatzel.

Put some "bite" in midfield, need both Oforborh and Kilkenny; there's the problem with Clarke injured who is available to be an enforcer?  With a choice of the likes of Cain or Butterworth, maybe Wright could play defensive midfield pushing Kilkenny further forward. This assumes 4:4:3

Immediately sub anyone who isn't marking or tracking runners, and

Shut up about refs


I would play 4:4:2 with Cox and McGregor as wingers providing for two banks of four when out of possession.

 a defeat feels inevitable.

go with a bold formation - 3421. 

442 has been consigned to history.

4:3:2:1 would be better than 4:4:2, but the thought there was that 4:4:2 would be understood by every player.

[Audrey]

McGregor in goal, I reckon. Harry Smith RB, Cain CF and McGurk to be subbed after 30 secs because there’s an R in the month.

Eileen Drewery told Holloway that that’s the way to go.

Swindon entirely sold out of newt eyes and bat’s tails.

A little matter of a Wilts Cup game v my old team Bemerton tonight🙂

Along with Holloway?

[DV]

Don’t really care about the result.

Would just like to see a better, more suited formation & a bit of cohesive play to at least suggest Holloway is getting towards his best XI / tactics / formation & being less scattergun.

This really is the last game he can afford to dick about with it
