Swindon v Bradford matchday thread

[Ben Wah Balls]

I think King will probably be sacked now anyway. Real shame. Fair play for what he's done and good luck to whoever takes over. They have a hell of a task on their hands, I hope they're up to it.

I'm going back to Cardiff in a bit anyway and moving house so won't be reading the forum for a while. Lets hope the attendances now rise to 8,000 a week as predicted. :roll:

he will be now...has to be really. no one will take the job with open arms but oh well.

Quite enjoyed the game, some good football by both sides and we were up for it.  
Their first was a fluke, not played for. Their second was our basic error, leaving the winger completely unmarked to cross from a quick free kick. The third was an unexpected slide-rule backpass from Roberts to their forwards, then a good finish. Two mistakes and a fluke, they only had one other good chance.
Fallon was immense all game. Whalley was slow and ineffective, let us down.Nicho played well. O'Hanlon was good considering his recent injury. Pook started OK but made lots of mistakes second half. Thorpe looked promising but just lacked that final touch. Ifil wasted possession most times. Smith was OK, but where was he for their second, or was it someone elses man, I don't understand today's system.
I clapped them off, a shame we lost, but perhaps one week we might fail to make a crucial mistake. Got to keep optimistic.

Well thats alright then. I feel much happier now. Thanks for pointing that out. Without two stupid mistakes we would have won the game. What a team.  :roll:

What did we play today?4-4-2?If so it must have been Pook and Smith as the wide players-WHY?

3-5-2

Heaton

Smith RWB

O'Hanlon
Collins
Ifil

Nicholas LWB

Pook
Migz
Whalley

Thorpe
Fallon

[Elsterap]

We started with 3-5-2 with Smith and Nicholas as Wing backs.

Smith and Nicholas kept coming into the middle which was a weakness in this formation and often left gaps for their wingers to exploit.

[adje]

Oh-that makes a little more sense then.

[sonicyouth]

All these years and I'm still yet to work out what exactly 3-5-2 is supposed to give us.

[Ben Wah Balls]

You were calling for us to play it at one point last year.
