1-0

3:29PM

27' The goal came from some patient build-up play around the edge of the Charlton box which resulted in Akin Odimayo passing to Conroy inside the area who then found Jaiyesimi with the forward twisting and turning before cutting back onto his left-foot and smashing past Amos from six-yards out.

0-0

3:08PM

7' Diallang Jaiyesimi is partnering Tyler Smith up front and it will be interesting if Jaiyesimi's hod up play will allow for more space for Smith to run into behind the Charlton defence.

3:06PM

5' Swindon give away a foul on the halfway line.

3:05PM

5' We thought that Sheridan was going to play five at the back however it seems that Dion Conroy is being used as a defensive midfielder alongside Grant with Matt Smith being given permission to get forward.

3:04PM

3' Swindon enjoying lots of the early possession but are struggling to get out of their own half.

2:54PM

Swindon Town manager John Sheridan addressed the local press yesterday ahead of today's game, let's take a look at some of his key quotes:

On his time at Swindon:

I'm not being disrespectful but if I was winning all the time then I wouldn't be at Swindon. I've done really well at clubs and have done poor at clubs. Every manager wants to win and there is no better feeling as a manager when you win. As a manger you get judged on your results and I totally understand it is about results. I'm here to keep Swindon in this division and it is a very very tough league but it is also very evenly matched.

On his tactics:

It's down to your personnel and what individuals you have available. People have to adapt and adjust.

If you look at Portsmouth for example they don't have the best players but are compact and as a unit have one of the best teams in the league.

It's not about formations as much it is about adjusting to the in-game situation.
