Regarding the "get in our faces" high press situation - it's been clear enough in both the Mk game and last night that Grant's got them mixing it up to get round that - 2 up top gives us the channel balls we lacked early on in the season - it's not rocket science.In both games it only took 2 or 3 of those longer balls and the high press soon backed off 5 or 10 yards which changed both games in our favour early on.Lawlor has been excellent in his distribution and positivity in trying to get us up the pitch as quick as possible also - none of the ditherings of Mitchell last season for sure.
Why hasn't Griffith's been included? He's not injured is he so why not even a sub? I understand we don't want him but he's here and our player so use him.We need Biggins, close, Hurst etc back quickly for sure.

Unbeaten in their 3 away games this season over 90 minutes - all tough fixtures. Peterborough, Forest Green and Wrexham.

Peterborough, Forest Green and Wrexham.In appraising Swindon’s performances there are some crumbs of comfort. The Wrexham defence only stopped 1 of Swindon’s 6 shots on target and they beat Forest Green only after Rovers had a man sent off. Crawley were thrashed, yes, but they only drew with Crewe at home.Having said that they probably deserved to win at Peterborough considering that Peterborough only made 2 changes from the previous league game. All you might say is that they could not shoot straight on that occasion - 24 shots - 9 on target, but only 1 goal.Whilst it would be bold to forecast a solid win, will ST be better than Everton?
