I don't think it's a particularly easy formation to just swap multiple players in and out of or introduce new signings in to either. I've no idea how close Swindon's starting XI was to their best team but we'd have looked loads better with Kelly and Godden in our starting XI I'm sure.

I would have thought our fitness should be a lot further on considering we are now playing championship, we have missed a trick methinks on trying to steal a march on the rest of the championship

you do realise it’s a completely meaningless friendly, right??

It is ridiculous to compare this pre-season to last or any other, we didn't have our season curtailed in march and have a pandemic to go through.

be really interesting to see how players like boroughs, drysdale, bapagna etc do at league two clubs if they get a change to go on loan

Shows how important Kelly is to us. Deffo important we get sheaf in.

For me its what we have all been saying. A Centre Half, CDM and at least 1 ST.

We need this i feel. Robins will see we aren't there with the squad yet and will act. Actually glad this has happened

Twine had some top notch tekkers on him. Dangerous every time he had an effort. I think it was a pretty good exercise for us clear strengths and weaknesses to work on.

Going on endlessly about how it's only preseason is fine, but you're allowed to take good and bad things away from a preseason game, even if the results and performances are mostly meaningless at this point.

Was very impressed with Burroughs and Bapaga. O'Hare, Baka and Jones also did well.

It's concerning that Swindon (who look like a very tidy side!) are so far ahead of us in terms of sharpness.

Giles ? Thought he was excellent first half

You could see Hamer had ability, and Allen will be fine (just clearly getting back to match fitness - when he does he is going to be a big player for us this season)

How? They trained for a week then played rangers then had a week off and then trained and played Swindon. Very harsh in my opinion
Exactly so wouldn't you have liked us to really push fitness to give us an extra edge for this season

I'm absolutely positive Robins won't be happy with the football on display today... He will say its good for fitness etc... But anybody who thinks he will walk away and think everything's great is deluded sorry.

Good workout, poor display lots to do is all anybody can take from that

Meh bit shit but just a pre season game. Funnily enough we looked better when the kids came on. Bapaga, as mentioned by others, could be the next star to emerge from the academy.

I’d say that’s fair. We’re still in the market, things will be just fine. Even if we thumped them 7-0 today I’d still take staying up on GD!

Just need to get the German on a calorie restricted diet for a few weeks. The Hilssner's alive with the sound of Muesli!

i was simply stating a fact kid and the irony of you mocking someones "banter" and then coming out with that?

You seem to have the iq and wit of 5 year old child who's in a coma.
