3-5-2? Bailey in back three with Olowu and McGrath, Moly & Gibson wingbacks, Sharp & Ironside up top?
Title: Re: Swindon V TLOD
Post by: NickDRFC on October 19, 2024, 02:06:21 pm
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.
Title: Re: Swindon V TLOD
Post by: ncRover on October 19, 2024, 02:35:04 pm
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

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
