It would be nice to have forwards with Smith who just occasionally gamble that he might win a flick on, and perhaps catch the defenders on their heels

And for one of them to not spend half the game on the floor |

I guess without knowing the reason why we can't field a team it's hard to say. We surely have enough of them, so e.g. squad illness is a valid reason. Or have we double booked/not returned to training yet/not got the necessary staff availability (given they are u18) or? |

My mate who plays for Highworth said this was called off before the weekend, the wording of the tweet makes it sound worse than it is. |

I see that we are lining up a game so Holloway can look at lots of trialists

Versus a team made up of mostly non league players apparently, organised by a "mate" of Holloways from London. (who I am assuming is some sort of agent). Nowt to lose in getting games arranged like these might uncover another young gem who hasn't been picked up by a league team. |

We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Think Highworth have made it sound worse than it really is. Request was made 5 days ago and it can't be helped that there's a smaller squad than would be expected at the minutes with a few injuries.
Under 16s not being allowed to play vs full grown men's teams makes sense as well from a protection viewpoint and Holloway will learn far more about the young lads who didn't play on Saturday in todays behind closed doors friendly than against Highworth.
No offence to Highworth but there's a reason its the 1st & 2nd year scholars who were due to be playing them rather than first teamers.

Says tickets still available. Can’t imagine you’d get turned away.
Wonder if the heat tomorrow will affect the game - maybe too hot to play a friendly.

Imagine that’s one game the players wouldn’t mind a 12 o’clock kick off.
