What team would you pick at Gillingham? #STFC swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/25938783…

@OllieSmitherman Agreed. 'Fans' post as if they know exactly what is going on (Palmers comings/ goings-how that affects match day prep? Holloways management etc). Virtually all naysayers have no background in football at the professional level/ how matchday works but moan away they will. SMH.

Our fans will moan about anything. Who gives a shit if Palmer is in Wrexham I highly doubt he'll be late to the 3 O'clock KO we have tomorrow. Worry about something that matters. I doubt players like drinan would get the same treatment if he'd gone to watch his old club. #stfc

@Official_STFC It's not just about the starting 11...it's also the impact of players coming on in the second half. COYR!

Here's how #STFC line-up to face MK Dons this afternoon:

@LoathedStranger 33 points still available and Swindon are 1 point off automatic promotion. It’s not as if any team is setting the league on fire right now. If ‘naysayer fans’ want to have a pop at a team go support Salford, Walsall. They’re in free fall right now (1 win from the last 6). COYR!

DRAW 1️⃣ #STFC 1️⃣ Bristol Rovers Points dropped at the CG. Thoughts and POTM please Cheers, RPU 🇵🇪 #STFC 🇵🇪

@foleyfliwuernwt @Official_STFC Exactly Kevin. We’re just going to be as positive as we can, stay behind the team and the manager. All the social media naysayers can ‘go do one’. Glad you’re with us. COYR.

@dsp643 @Official_STFC Ah yes, nobody is allowed an opinion 🤔

Defeat.

@SamMorshead_ The most important relationship, an integral driver of success in a performance based environment (which is all over the coaching literature) is the relationship between the player and the manager. How some fans feel about Holloway is irrelevant- If Swindon keep winning…

Lots of chat about the relationship between fans and players/manager at Swindon Town. This subject formed a big part of this week's Rake The Moon. Catch up now. #stfc open.spotify.com/episode/3pZEGK…

@SamMorshead_ I like the balance of the Swindon against a possession based team such as Crewe. Plus (and we all know Holloway will use) a very strong, attacking bench.

What will we get out of the Swindon Starting XI generator today? Wouldn't be surprised to see Holloway counter Crewe's attacking legs with youthful energy. Scanlon and Holman with Drinan, perhaps? Experience to manage latter stages from the bench. Who would you pick? #stfc

@justdc4838 Diego Simeone

Which coach can match their energy?

@SamMorshead_ I’ll be interested to see if/ how Holloway can keep everyone happy/accept their role, considering Wright, Mabuete, Ball, MacGregor, and Kirkman were not in the match day squad due to injury. Meanwhile, the naysayers might quiet down a little after today’s win. Long way to go.

Curious to see how Holloway lines up today. Expect it to be super attacking. Drinan, Palmer, Olakigbe and Scanlon all in from the start? How would you set Swindon up vs Oldham? #stfc

@GuillemBalague Hello Guillem, I don't know anything about the city of Naples or too much about their football but you can have a beer with me anytime, so you can tell me why no-one has bought CF Malaga yet?!! Love your books!

Any Naples based football journalist (English or Spanish speaker) fancies having a pizza and a beer with me next Tuesday to talk all things Napoli I want to know more about the city and he football DM me ☺️

@ripley_connor No need to apologize Connor. We’ve never doubted you, not for a single second, so don’t dwell in any negativity. Onward and upward.

I’m the first person to admit that I should have done better for the 3rd goal and I whole heartedly apologise to the fans and the boys! I’ll dust myself down and be ready for the game on Saturday! ⚪️🔴 #STFC

@SamMorshead_ What are your thoughts on Kirkman? Looks strong defensively for sure…yet going forward?

Where do Swindon Town go after Finley Munroe? If I'm the boss (thankfully I'm not), I wouldn't be drawn into a hurried replacement. And it feels this is the route Swindon will initially take. With 18 days of the window left, there's lots of time. themoonraker.counterpress.media/opinion/15-01-…

@DunderMifflinAS I prefer the UK office, yet..’my, how the turn tables’

Prove you watched The Office with one sentence.

@TouchlineX Your point being? Do you know if the players preferred to engage in a more personal, private farewell?

🚨 7 Real Madrid did not say goodbye to Xabi Alonso publicly after his departure from the club: · Vinicius Jr. · Jude Bellingham · Trent Alexander-Arnold · Eder Militao · Brahim Diaz (he's playing the AFCON) · Franco Mastantuono · Ferland Mendy

@ThatBoroFan Briiliant player. Way ahead of L2 ability at aged 20. Great in the air, strong in the tackle, fantastic delivery into the box. Our best defender this year by a mile, yet also very positive going forward.

Anyone got a clue of who we seem to have managed to pick up here? Heard and seen very little from him other than Swindon fans rating him very highly, so any insight into the type of player we might be getting would be great.

@UTDAlex8 Depends what you mean by playmaker? Systems are very fluid. All great players, (and Tuchel can play Rogers on the LW, where he plays for Villa) - yet Bellingham (easily the most well-rounded of the four) is different gravy.

If you were Thomas Tuchel, who would be your main playmaker for England at the 2026 World Cup?

@CFCJnR Journo (with no professional football background) asking ex-professional player, pro license holder, and European league coach if he is qualified to manage, before a ball is kicked. Ridiculous.

"I'm not arrogant but I'm good at what I do". Liam Rosenior replied to a journalist suggesting he wasn't yet ready to be at Chelsea. He has something about him.

@Footballtweet No clue. Some brilliant teams there for sure!
