King tried this....its what you do when Plan A doesn't work....trouble is with our sack of shit you could try anything you liked to no avail.
I've written this season off....I'll try very hard not to harp on the football stuff....and stick to the bollox.
You worry me when you say stuff like that, as you're invariably right. The comments you made on Cureton in the bosman signings thread have seemingly shown up to be semi-true at the very least.
I can't understand the extreme pessimism at the moment amongst certain quarters, currently only briefly quelled by a change in manager. We do have a better squad of players than a lot of teams in the division, on paper at least.
I had a similar idea admittedly to Fatbury re.: 4-5-1, but came to the conclusion that at this level any formation without 2 strikers up front becomes defensive, as there simply isn't the quality for a patient build-up via the midfield before entering the box. Whilst Swindon don't play route 1, we don't play neat short passing either. Our personnel may suit a 4-5-1, but our league doesn't.
