Swindon Town FC - Get them back to the Prem?

My next run of games, using the new tactics.

Swindon 0 v 1 Derby
Ipswich 2 v 2 Swindon - Douglas & Brandy

Next seen top of the league Wigan entertain bottom of the league Swindon and boy was this a shock, maybe the turning point of the season?

Swindon 2 - 0 Wigan - Paynter, Pachecho

After the game wigan manager Martinez had this to say:
Speaking after their match with Swindon Town, Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martínez told worldsoccer.com that he did not believe Swindon would have any problems avoiding relegation.

Martínez said that from the effort he saw by the Swindon players, he believed they would not have a problem gaining enough points to stay up.

Wigan have been performing above expectations in the Coca-Cola Championship so far this season and find themselves in 2nd place.

Next games:

Sheff Wed 2 - 1 Swindon - Paytner
Took an early lead, only to be pegged back before half time, then Sheff Wed scored a late winner, good effort from the lads though.

Swindon 1 v 3 Plymouth - Timlim
1-1 at Half time, turning point has to be when the referee denied Swindon a goal which woul dhave put them ahead 2-1, which was clearly onside!!!

Still routed to the bottom, but 4 points from 5 games is alot better than the start of the season, and also my new formations seem to be having an effect.

Shall save an update now for January / February now.
 
Good luck avoiding the drop mate what type of tactic are you using maybe it can be tweaked to help the defense a bit more

Thanks think am going to need the luck.

Am using two different formations, both are two posts above.

Home- 4-1-2-3
not using any wingers as I don't think they have the energy to get upand down, plus I've got quite a few good central midfielders with the energy to supper and defend, the attack seems to be working now with 3 up top as I seem to be scoring a few more.

Away-4-1-4-1
very defensive formation with a holding defensive midfielder. Trying to hit them on the counter with my two wingers supporting the forward as much as possible
 
Hey good to see somebody playing as my team ! :D Hope you stay up , im also struggling as swindon in the championship .. hovering above the relegation places . I hope you dont give up on this story keep it going. If you need a good winger sign cherno samba (brilliant for me even in the championship + he's a CM god ) or tiago targino . Nicky **** is solid also .. good luck keep it going
 
Being a Swindon fan, feel free to ask me for any tips :D

If you want a decent loan signing and hes available, try Hal Robson-Kanu from Reading. We had him on loan last season and he was really good for us :)
