3-5-2? Bailey in back three with Olowu and McGrath, Moly & Gibson wingbacks, Sharp & Ironside up top?
-
Looks like 3 at the back from the start. Will be interesting to see how it works with the attacking wing backs but don’t think Moly or Gibson will offer too much defensively (although to be fair Moly works very hard).
-
3 5 2 then this week
TSL
Bailey. Olowu. McGrath
Gibson. Broadbent. Kelly. Molyneux
Clifton
Ironside. Sharp
-
Looks a very good attacking line up. If it doesn't get a result there will be no complaints from me.
-
Looking forward to seeing Ironside & Sharp up front together, hopefully took Swindon by suprise this set up
-
No Fleming in the squad. Maxwell on the bench.
Could be a high scoring game.
-
According to transfermarkt Gibson played wing back a few times for Carlisle.
Bailey will be in the middle of the 3.
Naughty line up.
-
Is it just to match Swindon up? BBC suggests they play the same formation although it’s often inaccurate for lower leagues
-
Hoden sounds like he is whispering
-
Very nice day here. Sun shining. Grass peed on lastnight and watered 20 minutes ago too

-
Rovers very much on the front foot, it will come!
-
Billy's looking very lean!

That’s not to be sniffed at, Bob! :lol:
-
This is the kitchen sink formation
-
Don’t want to jinx but rovers looking good with attractive football.
-
Reasonably even so far. Decent play. Half chances both ends.
BobG
-
You here Wilts??
-
Swindon playing the better football for me. Too much long ball from Rovers for my liking.
-
Rovers starting to boss midfield. But Swindon playing well too.
-
I’m listening to radio commentary and it sounds like we are the better side so far but not making scoring chances.
Hardly any crowd noise at all.
-
Clifton's thinking is too slow. Just failed to make an obvious pass putting in Ironside til a second too late.
BobG
-
Oooh! Jammy clearance by Swindon. Certain goal otherwise
-
Swindon clear Olowu effort off the line following a corner.
-
You here Wilts??
‘Fraid not, Bob. I’ve got a couple of health problems that’s preventing me from attending games at the moment.
-
Someone get some WD40 on Ironside.
-

The commentator has mentioned that his mic is behind a glass screen so the crowd noise sounds quiter than it actually is
-
First injury time. George's head
-
Be a bit more clinical with the final passes and we can be in here.
Had a couple of 3 on 3's and 3 on 2's but not picked out the right final pass

Which radio station is that.
-
It’s on radio Sheffield FM

I've tried radio wiltshire on the BBC sounds app & although it says Swindon vs Donny, there's some sort of general football show on.

Afternoon all.
It's all a bit dull ate the moment

Mystic Meg reckons 1-0 either way come the final whistlr

Bbc aren’t licensed to broadcast football online, that’s why you aren’t hearing commentary.
-
Our decision making hasn’t been great and Ironside is a shadow of what he was last season
-
Why are we so reluctant to have a shot in or around the penalty area?
-

He’s going to need time to get back up to speed
-
Locals don't like the ref. Good pen shout denied. 2 mins injury time
-
H-T. 0-0
-

Won plenty of headers though which some were criticising him for a few weeks ago
-

Ref got it right
-
Formation not working for me. Forget matching up, play to our own strengths.
-
Very scruffy half. Just not clicking up front.
-
Our build up play is far too slow

Spud, it’s on the FM version of radio Sheffield.
I’m sat in the car at home listening to it.

Back up to speed from what? He's played in every league game this season.
-
Ironsides been the better of the 2 up top.

Looks like I'm going out to the van for the second half, rather than rooting around the loft for an old FM radio.

They’ve put the big angry cart horse on - Harry Smith

Do you have any better explanation for him needing wd40?
-
The crowd seem to have woken up in the second half. Crowd now coming over loud and clear.
Sharp booked.
-
Gibson not thinking quick enough again... Almost through. Then not....
-
Lol. Gibson good shot. Billy too. Good save
-
Oluwu! Corner.
-
Gibsons shot saved by the keeper.
Next attack, Keeper tips Sharps shot onto the bar..
Olowu scores from the corner.1-0.
-
Yesss … great header from Olowu
-
Joeeeeeer
-
Yessssss!!!!!!
-
Playing much better this half, don't know how that Sharp chance didn't go in.
-
So pleased for Olowu you can tell he’s been sniffing for a goal these last few games.
-
Waited patiently for his chance in the team , deserves that goal
-
Joes goal

Brilliant - thanks glosterred!
-
Try ceefax
-
Shite

Bugger
-
They played it quicker. Fast low cross from their left
-
BBC Sport's live text is on a go slow
It’s probably the press association feed..
Scores and timings updating ok
-
They’ve put the big angry cart horse on - Harry Smith
It was him who levelled the score.
-
Maradona!
-
Rovers should have made more of the dominance, not good enough to produce one goal from 12 corners!
-
We have been sooo poor with the ball today, it’s a frustrating watch, as you can see these are not that good and there for the taking.
-
Poor defending there both in preventing the cross and Smith just slid in between two defenders.
-
BBC Sport's live text is on a go slow
Yep - the live feed is barely conscious let alone 'live'.
-
Keeper should have got to the cross. Slow to get down.
-
Changed formation when we was on top. Why?
-
This is what McCann was saying not turning dominance into goals he will be fuming
-

That’s a bit harsh.
-
Kelly off for Close (Att 6442 I think)
-
Keeper should have done better with that cross.
-
Both sides play acting now...
-
Kelly off for Close (Att 6442 I think)
Going for the draw then

Gibson off Sterry on
-
Gibbo and Clifton off.
Maxwell and Sterry on.

It feels like another away game that we haven’t known what to do with subs
-
Sharp strops are like watching Bruno at Man Utd

Yes thinking exactly the same.

-

I don't get that. His subs at MK were excellent and saved the game.
-
3 mins added time

Was thinking Newport Harrogate and then Barrow last season but it was kinda to tempt a jinx :lol:

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
Well done Joe!
Great 3 points that!

Well done lads. That's the kind of hard fought game that make the difference
-
Big Joe is back!!!!!
-
Kelly off for Close (Att 6442 I think)
Going for the draw then
Say what.??
-
Good 3 points on to the next
-
Magic !
-
Competitive game - but not a great game. Neither side played that well. Too many passes astray, too slow to think, and, too slow to play. The one time Swindon played it fast, they scored, although the defending wasn't great. Two set piece goals for us. I think a draw would have been the fair result.
And the ref favoured us noticeably more than Swindon too btw. It was almost blatant

-
Two Joe’s scored today, when was the last time that happened?

Got away with it should have been out of sight, but if we can win when not doing well then we can win this league
-
Our great run last season began with a last minute pen by big Joe.
Just saying like.
-
I still say there’s something missing from our squad, or maybe more than one thing. We’re just not ‘clicking’, but crucially, we’re picking up points!
-

Damn good question that Les! I bet for the Rovers never. Pretty unusual anywhere else too you'd thi k.

What a daft statement before giving the changes a chance to effect the game
