Without Reda it was inevitable that we wouldn't defend until the final whistle. Same old, same old.

Reda is a massive loss for us, just like last year.

Poor game management it seems. Can't be helped though with how many young players still learning

Yes, but we didn't lose. The way some are moaning on here you'd think we lost 3-2 rather than got a draw.

Disappointing, but some perspective needed I think.

I'll take a point any day over zero, but when your playing and winning by 2 goals against a poor Swindon side who threatened is very little, I think the moaning is justified.

I used the word 'frustrating' earlier and I use it again. The result should have been different. We should have won. We didn't. I'm disappointed, despite the one point we come away with. We must start picking up more than one away from home, especially when we aren't getting the wins at home.

'It's a learning curve for the young loan players'

Well I'd rather our young players have these learning curves if that's the case

I'm sure they said it was Martin who conceded the pen?

I think it was Martin. Up the other end so can't be certain and was crowded in the box.

That said, it was probably the only mistake Martin made

We should've been pushing after the 2nd not sitting deep and inviting the pressure.

Murphy did well when he came on as well....seemed to give us a lift.

Can someone who was there confirm.or rebuff a feeling I got about where the danger was coming from.
I got the Impression they started ripping us down their right and am wondering. if Stokes may have tired In the last ten?
Click to expand...

I think both RB and Lb are left exposed too much at times. OBrien tries, but the likes of Kent, Ruben and Murphy aren't defender type players.

I wouldn't say Stokes tired, but he does need help.

First game he's missing and we concede two, after previously looking solid.

It's the performances against 'lesser' teams that's concerning.

Of course. It could've been 7 though had the ball not hit Wood at Fleetwood. Shit like this happens to everyone.

We're only 14 games in ffs

Mowbray -

All disappointed

2-0 less than 10 mins to go should be winning

Should see the game out

Hugely disappointed after a lot of hard work

Talented side (Swindon) so knew it would be tough

Got ourselves 2-0 up, controlling the game, will try to take positives from it

No complaints against penalty although haven't watched it back

Says it was for handball

2-0 up at 83 mins, 83 of which we'd worked hard

Nothing looked likely to hurt us but game not done until whistle blows

Winked too deep

Handled their long balls into the box for long periods

Overall disappointed especially for supporters who travelled

Need to take maximum points from next games

Points we have we might as well have won 1, lost 2.

Need to make up with wins at Home

Took Cole off - hasn't played in a long time. 2 games in 4 days too much. Have to be careful

How knows he won't play game in game out

Need to get some momentum

Ruben and Murphy offer something different

Murphy has speed which he brought in

Ruben been unfortunate. He has talent and shown flashes today

Happy with squad, changed a little due to the international duties

Trying to managed their game time (players on international)

Ideal world would she kept Armstrong on and broke away for another (goal)

Defensive record doesn't give much solice

RCC excellent goalkeeper. Takes crosses like he's picking cherries from a tree

Delighted for RCC

Just checked the table. Still 4th and won half of our games. Maybe it's not all that bad*. Who'd have thought that during pre season?





* still feels like a defeat though

We winked too deep? No wonder we threw two goals away then.

1. We are not going to win every game, what was the saying? win home and draw away.
2. When did we last lose a league game?
3. Every team is going to hit a bad patch, we have managed to draw 3 in a row playing 2 away games and a massively improving Blackpool.
4. All the top 6 teams with the possible exception of Walsall have already gone through similar bad patches, and I expect the upcoming teams to suffer similarly at some point throughout the season.
5. The last time we got promoted in 1967, after 14 games we had won 7, drawn 3, lost 4 - we finished champions

Sure Vince just said he got punched in the face while celebrating with the fans! Own up; who did it!

He also says he won't change his game despite being on 4 yellow cards. I like that
