• Swindon Boss John Gorman waiting for Manchester City to play his side before he would wish Brian Horton best wishes
Swindon boss John Gorman was waiting to wish Brian Horton and David Moss best of luck in their new jobs at Manchester City until they had played against his team. The Scot also defended the use of a 3-5-2 formation by his side against Norwich in the previous match where he was accused of playing defensive. That draw was the first point that Swindon had picked up that season.
John Gorman said “They are good pals of mine and when they got the jobs my first reaction was to pick up the telephone and wish them good luck Then I remembered City were due to come here tonight, so I decided I’d leave it a bit, Not in any shape or form (That a midfield five was negative) How could it be negative with quality players like Micky Hazard in midfield?”
