    This.

    Bowyer's philosophy away from home has been not to lose. He'll try keep it tight for as long as possible and then introduce him off the bench to scuff in a winner.

    Starting with Crawley it's all going to go pair shaped up front.

    I was looking to book train tickets for this one but major engineering on East coast main line this weekend make it look a bit of a chore via midland main line.
    Could always do an overnight I suppose.

    Doyle scored a hat-trick at Crawley for Swindon, lets hope he can repeat that on Saturday

    Didn't Doyle get 2 or 3 against them whilst at Swindon?

    They'll be delighted to see him!

    Also, be interesting to hear from Crawley fans as to how Swindon used him versus us after the game.

    If BowyerS put that line up out @Tolly856@Tolly856 would be well mad!

    I think he needs a bit of sleep to gather his senses before posting formations again :joy::joy::joy:

    Bloody optimism got to me, train tickets booked.
    7.01 from T'interchange, back at 22.30, down to the Valley for match tickets tomorrow.
    Please don't let me down again lads.

    I’m glad you think I’m Bowyer In disguise, that’s kind of the point:

    My own preference would be 4-4-2.

    This would be my starting lineup

    O’Donnell
    Henley
    BRE
    O’Connor
    Wood
    Connolly
    Reeves
    Cooke
    Ismail
    Vaughan
    Doyle

    call me old fashioned but this team would win the league.

    Totally, totally agree! Even Pritchard for a winger in the Law mould of inside winger.

    You're just been deliberately disingenuous to Bowyer. No "logic" explains your view - simply because when Bowyer's had two proven strikers available, he's played them together.

    Oteh was played, but proved inconsistent and then with Donaldson out there were no other viable striking options

    Playing Connolly was the only sensible option and it wasn't that disastrous

    Some fans simply can't get in their heads, that you don't play two strikers just for the sake of it

    You play two strikers when you have two of the calibre of Vaughan and Doyle at League 2 level. Bowyer has been handed the keys to the league title, pressure is on for GB. Only a moron would play 3 centre halves and sacrifice one of Vaughan, Doyle or Donaldson when fit.

    You do if its Doyle and you do if its Vaughan, both play better with a partner. And our periods of success as a team has always been with a successful strike partnership.
