Swindon Town v Oldham Athletic (20/10/15)


Recommended Posts

Tonight's the night we get our 10th draw of the season!

 

The big question in selection is if Higdon should come back in for Philliskirk. Other than that, it should stay the same as Saturday.

Did you even go on Saturday? The whole formation will have to be changed if Higdon plays tonight! Burn cannot play btw.

Lee Power was on TalkSport earlier. There's no audio of it up on the website yet.

 

He owns the club outright after buying them as part of a consortium when they were losing £5m a year and now balances the books.

They have a model based on them developing talent and selling on for decent money & also for developing Premier league loanees meaning they're offered better players than the likes of us.

The line wasn't great but it sounded like he was saying he does all the player recruitment and has a coaching team that will stay in place and that whichever manager comes in will have to buy into their way of doing things and a prescribed style of play.

He said that the passing, attacking style of play also helps towards getting good money for their players and attracting top Prem loans.

The manager is just there to pick the team and make substitutions. I'm sure he said the manager wouldn't be expected to get involved in coaching either.

Sounds very NFL. Just nowhere near as complicated a game...

Or does it simplify things?

 

One system for identifying signings, one style of play & one style of coaching. The Manager, while in the "loop", can just concentrate on man management, motivation and tactics/scouting the opposition.....

We need to start winning games and tonight would be a good time to start.

Let's be honest if we can't beat a Swindon team in absolute turmoil who the hell can we beat.

This could, I hope, be a season changing game, however,lose this one and I really don't know where we go from here!
