Swindon are quick coming forward. You can see why they're top.  They don't give you a second on the Town not so much.  Swindon go down too easily in my opinion.

Whilst it is clear that Limbrick has tried to instill a more easy on the eye footballing style and we do seem to be playing it on the floor more than we certainly did under Jolley, but ultimately it is a results based industry and you do not get any points for passing it around but losing the game. and whilst we by all accounts played reasonably well against a good Northamption team, looked good against an effective Chetenam side and now playing against the team who are top of the league, it does still look set to be 1 point from a possible 9 with the possibility of 0 goals being scored in Limbricks 4 games in all competitions, not an impressive stat and whilst we should be grateful to Limbrick for making us play a better styleof play maybe it is time to bring somebody else in, and this somebody else may want to bring in their own man which would of course lead to Anthony's departure.

Shocking half of football.

Defence all over the place giving Swindon an easy game
Midfield slow, no skill, can't pass or tackle
Attack Hanson feeding off scraps, Green and Venrma non-existant

Pretty much covers that first half I think.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

We are a side completely devoid of any confidence. Our midfield look like passengers when they should be participants.

If Limbrick sends them out with the same shape and personal that will confirm he’s not up to the task.

We’ve just had a 10 day run which would have been the ideal time to get a new manager in but as ever we fail to take an opportunity

I'm at the game. They are everything we are not. No movement no passing slow closing down constant high balls to Hanson. They get the ball they have time and space to play it. We get the ball there's three Swindon players closing us down with no Town player to pass to.
Utterly awful-no improvement on Slade or Jolley. Devoid of any ideas

We were playing OK until the second goal. Not great since then, but they've not exactly been peppering our goal.

McKeown at fault for the first. I know he stumbled, but it looked to me that he panicked as he thought the header was better than it actually was. Should have been an easy catch. Of course, the chance in the first place came because Gibson was ball watching at a throw, letting their man get the first cross in easily. He's had a stinker so far today albeit against a strong and powerful winger.

Hewitt well out of position for the second, but it was just one of those things as we had two defenders there to try and block the shot - might have hit both of them!

We look like a nervous team, lacking in confidence and not willing to try a forward pass when a backward one is available. They look a good team and have plenty of pace and athleticism which is making us look pedestrian in the middle.

We'll need to do a lot, lot better in the second half, or they will coast to the points. A goalkeeping error and deflected goal for us would be nice!
