At his best on the leftside in a 4 4 2 where we finally saw him on Saturday. Would love to see him playing in the fa cup Saturday but if he cannot his time here will have been a bit stop and start through no fault of his own.

horlickfanclub

Apositive approach as promised by our Chairman would help.

reference a post above.

Since when was Alan Durban the guru of footy?

horlickfanclub

He is the Manager Joey and therefore has to manage his chosen resources. Mr Yates has taken responsibility by his apology so if he accepts the accountability of his job why don't you?

horlickfanclub

cliffy90 has summed this up correctly.

horlickfanclub

Asl ,regency and tunnell failed to spot that after Hanks went off Brown moved to a midfield position in front of a back four as per the Plymouth game . He went forward to win a tackle and got caught. He was NOT playing in the same position we started with. Tactical genius by our Manager not.Thankful...

horlickfanclub

spot on Art

horlickfanclub

i agree with Regency. Vaughans passing was dreadful but he avoids the chop Hanks will only learn by playing devious old pros like Penn.

horlickfanclub

nice to see him in his best position.

horlickfanclub

jbond has a point.

horlickfanclub

Useless rejig after Hanks went off meant a few minutes of chaos and we gave the goal away. The second half was better once we had some width.Yates gets it wrong/right/wrong/wrong. We need some clear steady guidance.

horlickfanclub

Agree . Give them a chance. We need some energy.

horlickfanclub

I hope next time I hear bad language refs will be consistent and send the players off . hmmm fat chance of that. The F.A. is not consistent.

horlickfanclub

I will be there. I think the ticket price issue has been poorly handled but it does not stop me supporting the team It is not their fault. I respect the opinions of those who have reasons notto be there.

horlickfanclub

Why will we get overun in midfield ? It is as likely to happen with 3 as with 2.If you have wide players tracking back it helps our two dodgy fullbacks and the central players can get on with their jobs.If you take the game to the oppo they have to retreat. We have good players-use them properly and...

horlickfanclub

What are they then 51? To me they are footballers that are happier playing wide than in the middle.The sort of player that is likely to want to go outside and cross rather than playing it inside Therefore right or left.Also happy helping out a fullback Maybe round pegs in round holes is a descriptio...

horlickfanclub

Haworth,Kotwica, Sterling-James, De Vita ,Black could all play r or l in a midfield four that becomes 42 4 when attacking.

horlickfanclub

Great idea. Some Swindon supporters will be standing our end to save money so the clubs policy is flawed.

horlickfanclub

He is in the entertainment business not Wwestminster. Do not alienate the regular punters. They are hard to win back. A lot that was said at the forum has fallen on deaf ears.

horlickfanclub

Sick of saying it but 4 4 2 is worth a try then you don;t have to worry about the third man in midfield . Simple.
p.s. Our fullbacks are not automatic choices in my view.

horlickfanclub

Could it have been the Hereford bloke?

horlickfanclub

I reckon the fullbacks are both dodgy without the cover a 4 4 2 gives them. Look at the goals against recently and check out our fullbacks poor positions. I would play Deaman and Black at full back Saturday.

horlickfanclub

I think Shade has made the best point so far. Thoise that pay the overcharge for FA Cup may well give another game a miss to balance their budget so the club will receive a lower amount through the rest of the year. Keep the punters onside and keep them coming would be my suggestion .

horlickfanclub

Play positive football and get the crowds and money back.

horlickfanclub

Their Chairman looks to sensible to be interested in Yates.

horlickfanclub

Well said Alf. He could have started and if he faded take him off.At least we might have got ahead.

horlickfanclub

Nice to see Harry getting some games at Cambridge City. Have I missed this on the main site?

horlickfanclub

Go to a back for and use our platoon of wingers might have been an idea.

horlickfanclub

The man has no week to week consistency.

horlickfanclub

I have said before Yates does not trust our youth.

horlickfanclub

Player power helps out the Manager. All we need now is Brown at right back in a back 4 Eusebio or Howarth wide and it will be like watching
a proper Cheltenham Town. Maybe the gates will rise.

horlickfanclub

When will the streetlights by Parklands be mended?
When will he realise that premium matches create negative publicity?

horlickfanclub

good call 51. hope so.

horlickfanclub

Vaughan unable to cover for Deaman and Brown on their goal. He gets caught too far forward in that back 5/3

horlickfanclub

First Jason Taylor and now Mark Yates falling for the old wind them up to hurt them trick. Luckily it backfired on Money so well done the team but we must not get known for falling for these tactics. Laugh at them Yatesy or blow raspberries but do not get involved in toys and prams.

horlickfanclub

Finally he is playing right up front.Not in little holes,diamonds,just off somebody blah -manager speak -blah. Terry is a centre forward and is now getting in the box more in good positions . He also links well with Marquis.
