Really pleased with that result against a decent Swindon side, Macca certainly MOM for me, never put a foot wrong all game.
Good tactical move again by MJ to take Vernam off and replace him with Rose after we took the lead.
That extra midfielder snuffed out any chance of an equaliser, good all round performance in terrible conditions, very happy.
I think that’s the coldest I’ve been at a match since the midweek Salisbury City FA Cup loss that went to extra time.

Two very average sides and a draw would have been fair. But then a draw would have been fair last week so hey ho!!
Had we swapped keepers Swindon would have won today so Macca mom
Too much hoof ball for me but on the rare occasions we got it down we looked dangerous
Welcome 3 points


Much needed as well given the results below us. As you said could easily have been 2 draws = 2 points so an unlucky defeat and a slightly fortunate win has actually worked in our favour

That is a bit harsh considering the appalling conditions. Both teams did well; a draw probably would have been fair but great to get the win.

Thought we sat back too deep in the second half and they sussed to cope with the wind against by driving the ball instead of lofting it. They did rely on their tall forward for a lot of their attacks. Thought Pringle was goof in places and poor at times. Harry ran his socks off again and how was that mot a penalty?

Need to get the extension to Embleton agreed as he gives a good attacking option and Macca was his usual magnificent save especially as it was so coooolllldddd!

Fair play to the Swindon fans travelling up to BP in this weather. Need to get some thermals for next game though!

In the cold light of day we will take 3 points..  Macca fully-deserved MOM.  Embleton was very positive today.

Was concerned at how easily they could run at and beat 2 of our players.  This happened a few times.

The ref gave a great example of applying the disadvantage rule.  They were clear near our goal in the 2nd half and he brought back play to give them a free kick on the halfway!

As we won, I will have a moan about their goal.   Pringle was moving across the pitch with 2 players free on the right.  We looked to have a promising attack.  He then played the ball right back to Macca.  Hard for him to kick it against the wind.  This let to their free kick, which was well-struck. (I did moan about Pringle  before they scored).

Think you missed that Hessenthaler was fouled to free their player and therefore the ref brought play back for the 1st foul

(I did moan about Pringle  before they scored).  Exactly and he only failed to make the pass because it was on his right foot. He therefore played what he thought was an easy pass to Macca. Pringle at times is just TOO one footed

Really cold and really poor conditions I don't think either side got to grips with the swirling wind ad to be fair I think that Swindon will be disappointed to not take at least a point, with all that in mind we should be delighted to take all 3.

Thomas took the winner really well as it was coming back to him pretty quickly and once again Macca saved us with a few decent saves. I guess thats whats called winning ugly.

Sets us up nicely for next week.
Big win for us if we get it. Should stop us looking over our shoulders and maybe just 6 points off playoffs. We can but dream....
