Not that confident about today
When we played them before they kept a high back line which made it easier to get in and create chances but I think they have changed formation now
---------------O'Brien-------------
-Grimmer--Willis--Davies--Stokes-
-M Drew--Doyle--Bayliss--Barrett-
---------Biamou----McNulty-------
Subs: Burge, Mcdonald, Haynes , Stevenson, Shipley, Beavon, Ponticelli.
Today is the day for the long ball and getting the ball in the attacking 3rd quickly and effectively as possible. Pitch will be sticky ball won't travel as well as normal and mistakes will happen so not a day for playing in your own half.
Put Swindon under pressure and make there back line work, while keeping a high line playing on the counter.
Getting out the blocks early is vital today before the pitch becomes a mud bath and both sides results into lumping the ball long to each other in hope.
A classic L2 game today, unattractive, full of errors, physical and ultimately most committed side wins.
I would keep Willis in. I don't blame him for last week's cock-up. I think he had the ball cleared there no problem without Burge's intervention.I think we might tinker with the front two after Robins’ comments post match last week. Just hope theyve practiced how we plan to line up all this week!
Pitch isn’t likely to allow us to play it on the ground, but wouldn’t be surprised if Barrett is given the nod to replace Biamou, and since hes not the tallest that will reduce the chances of us winning much in the air
I’d be bringing back a mcDonald. Just not sure which of the two CB’s I’d rest?
Score wise I’d go for 1-1 draw

Think Willis has been playing very well lately, so would go for Davies to be replaced if McDonald was to come back in.
I too think Barrett might play up front. Bet we will still aim the ball at his head though for the most part.
I sort of agree. I think we can include Barrett in there somewhere as well, it might be of benefit to have Biamou still in. We would then have two goal-getters in the team in McSparky and Barrett.If he does drop Biamou and go for Barratt/Ponti/Beavon alongside McNulty, it is pivotal we change tactics to suit. I know our tactics are questionable at the best of times, but surely MR has to drum into the players not to play hoof ball to two small strikers.
Plus, not sure today is the day to drop Biamou and remove the long ball option when required based on the conditions and the likely poor state of the pitch.
I’d love to see us attacking the ball, using the width of the pitch and trying to take advantage of the (potential) pace we have in the side with Barratt, JMD and McNulty.
You saying we need to tighten up?If we play like we did against Stoke, we win. If we play like we usually do at home, we loose.
No Otis I am saying we need to put the same amount of effort in.You saying we need to tighten up?
So we're not loose then?No Otis I am saying we need to put the same amount of effort in.
Yep i think the pitch will be shit todayI've just had a look at the pitch and it looks like they have had the heat lamps on it, there is grass growing on the centre of the pitch, just have see if it cuts up when the players start running on it. !
still no sign of Kelly.
