Stockley is match fit, not sure he’ll start, but I’d bring him in at half time at least.
One thing Bowyer has got to stop is making half time subs every game. All it does is show he got it wrong in the first place.
Not to mention the impact on the player he takes off. To be honest it's much worse than being drop, it's almost as bad as subbing a sub.
He makes a sub at half time as you can make 5 subs in a game but only make subs in 3 in game occasions. By doing one at half time it still allows him 3 more occasions.
Not saying it is right but I am certain that is his thinking.
Madness from Bowyer if he starts Watson and Pratley together in midfield. I’d rather start none of them than both. JFC alongside Morgan or Shinnie for me. Got to have more of an attacking threat in CM. Looking forward to having Aneke, Schwartz and Stockley as our main strikers, main thing missing from them is pace - so even more important we have it out wide. I’d go with Millar and Williams. Smyth’s probably that bit quicker than Williams but I feel he’s less likely to create a chance.
I think Smyth waits for the ball whereas Williams is more busy and keeps things ticking over better.
What happened to everyone praying for Bows to play players in their positions? So if he plays Gunter where you want him and it goes wrong, do you berate the tactics again?
Swindon play a 4-3-3. which could suit a diamond, but I would prefer a 4-4-2.
Caddis is their right back. He is in his 30’s and IMO is a weak link at the back and so I would want Millar running him at every opportunity with Maatsen overlapping.
They do play a narrow centre 3 with the full backs overlapping so we will push them back or they will leave huge gaps down the sides. We could split the front two wider or have Washington dropping into gaps. Morgan’s and JFC passing abilities could just make them starters.

He did it when you could only have 3 as well IIRC.
How many times have we made a half time sub, or earlier, that wasn't due to a sending off or injury and how many times have the team we are playing?
The only other manager I have ever seen make as many early subs is Jose. Normally when he is trying to get the sack!
you don't need a shower when you've been douched sonshine - a good douching means you have been mentally realigned and refreshed - if you're thinking the same as me, you are on the right lines and should try and avoid washing until you regress
Douche is the French word for shower.
Is that @Doucher , why you always come up smelling of roses?
the name started as a bit of an insult to duchatalet really, after id stopped posting as bexley dan for some time and couldn't remember my password (that name was based on the fact i'd used a colleague at work's login details - daniels - to set up an account - i was contemplating changing the DOUCHER name now we have got rid of duchatalet but there has been so much history, controversy and 'magic' over the last few year's it would probably be wrong to change it - main reason however is that i can't be arsed.
Anyway, back to the point..... the main reason i always come out smelling of roses oggy,(thanks for noticing), is coz i'm always right!!!!
It's a must-win. But we will. 3-1. Pratley, Millar, Aneke. Pearce must be dropped... ideally for a few weeks to rebuild his fitness. If that means Gunter or even Purrington at CB, so be it, but I'd go Deji and Pratley.
I'm hoping for a win, as we all are, so if I say something completely different then with my warped logic/sick,superstitious mind then we are more likely to get a win.
1-3, Bowyer finally paid off and put out of his misery.

I’m calling foul because you’ve got all bases covered 😉.
As am I but with Stockley in the side you can’t really play a diamond. You need your strikers to stretch the back line and press the full backs and he’s not capable of that.

Give Pratley a rest.

He hasnt been in the squad for the last two League games for Preston

Looking forward to the game.

But most likely the flat 442, can't see Aneke being involved due to fitness reasons and with Bogle looking like he's off, no spot for him either.
