442 Day Williams Baldwin kilgour Leahy Nicholson Mc cormick Grant Tutonda Daley Hanlan
Play with a quick tempo and width , something we’ve rarely done this season but when we have we’ve generally got results.

Leahy, McCormick and Grant in the same team is a massive weakness. If Rovers can start on the front foot and keep it up then we may get a draw otherwise, unfortunately, I can only see another loss.

Hope we see a massive response from the players? As for formations and tactics I've no idea what Widdrington might do? Maybe bring Hare back into the reckoning? Having seen the highlights of Swindons games they struggle with set pieces, but they do look like a tougher team than us. What to expect? I hope we put in a solid performance to show the fans that the players have been performing within themselves... In reality I've got a gut feeling we will huff and puff and end up losing by a single goal from something we don't have (experienced striker, pitman).

We have to win and I would hope we show real intent from the start ...
................Day
Williams Baldwin Kilgour Leahy
...............Grant
McCormick ..........Tutonda / Koiki
..............Nicholson
Rodman Daly
Part of me said Hanlan for Rodman but he is clumsy, gives away too many fouls when we are attacking and I cant believe his confidence can be high. I really would like to see Tutonda and Koiki get some time as I think they are decent going forward or defending for Leahy if needed.
I think we win tomorrow AND get something out of Tuesday as well.

All season we’ve lacked width to our attacking play yet most of the formations on here haven’t got much width and I think we’d see the same problem of our play being very narrow and one dimensional. I really don’t see Nicholson as a striker or a number 10. All his best work is when he cuts in from wide on the right like Bodin used to. I’d have him right wing and Tutonda as a left winger staying wide, running at his full back.
Pace , width and quick tempo, the three most important things that every lower league side should be aiming for when they’re on the ball. We’ve rarely fielded a starting 11 in a formation with those three things all season despite having the players to do so.
I really hope TW can see that and I really hope that whoever takes over for the rest of the season can too because if it’s more narrow one dimensional crap then we are down simple as that.

We surely can’t expect a worse game than the last time we played Swindon in Tisdale’s first (?) game in charge? That was honestly the most dire game I have ever seen. You would see more ability on the downs on a Saturday afternoon.
I don’t think we have improved much at all since that performance and I’m not so sure Swindon have either. I think it’s there for the taking for whichever side takes the initiative.

Must go 4 4 2 and go for it, we need 3 points and swindle are poor. Wonder how many prospective managers will be paying a tenner to prep for their interview.

3-0 Gas win ....Baldwin, Nicholson and Daly Fully expecting to see Tutonda play some part, Koiki also, as they are Widdringtons signings effectively!! Would leave Hanlan on the bench - he is cumbersome, loses the ball too often and gives away needless free kicks when we are attacking ... Oztumer equally needs to step up, as he has not been great. Hope Upson is not seen again in the Quarters.... What a miracle his overnight recovery is once Tisdale has gone .... Haha, interesting comments as usual. Upson is our best midfielder at the club. I will be glad when he is fit again as his injury is one of the reasons the team has struggled since he’s been out. Quality and experience that has been severely lacking. The only time we have been half decent this season is when he’s played. Have no idea about miracle overnight recoveries, but I’m sure you do. And before you try, I don’t believe the earth is flat either.
