We're totally out attacked tonight, they were direct (in terms of runs and movement) and most attacks had purpose and direction.

Our attacks were mostly up blind alleys and rarely ended in goal scoring chances/shots at goal

I didn't think they were 3 goals better than us tonight, but they were clinical and we were powder-puff.

Not one to appoint blame on any one person, but Tommy should be very annoyed when he looks back at their first two goals tonight.

Tommy has been a worry all season, what's Nixon doing different to what Crosseley did with him, he seems to have gone downhill.

You are correct, they weren't 3 goals better than us, they should have had 6.... At least. We were appalling.

Number three for Swindon Byrne tore us a new rs everytime he came forward yet the game still hinged on a brilliant save from Fotheringham and a total dive by the Swindon player to earn a free kick from which they scored and missed two sitters to boot.

Thought that was a very good game, against a very good league 1 side.
Evatt and Pizza man were way too slow though.
Best game I've seen TD have for a while and their no 3 was terrific.

Weren't 3 goals better???? At least 2 or 3 more. They had a shocking miss at 0-0 when rounded Tommy and put wide and the free header that hit the post in the second half.
I can't recall any chances their keeper saved

Spot on they could easily have had five or six. Wasn't it the same player who missed the open net shocker (that was so funny btw), that missed an open net again in the second half when he hit the post with his header? (he got subbed after that, lol)

That said I do agree with Sammy to a point. They weren't a good team at all, it was our lack of heart and belief that has totally been drained out of us that gave Swindon an easy three points that they'll collect on the road all season. Where has our heart gone? Seriously is was like a lion and now we aren't even pussy cats! If that what tinkering does for you Mr Cook, then please leave well alone in future!! All the fans said that we didn't need to shake things up as we weren't far off at all; we just needed to defend a little better... Well after tonight we need to defend a hell of a lot better!

He pulled of one world class save in the first half (but that was the only one of note).

They weren't a good side? Give your head a wobble, they were a class act.

We were beaten by pace and patient football at both ends of the pitch

Yes it was. Then his replacement showed him how to score. Good job he wasn't on for the first two chances.
