We never do well at your place so I think we will lose. 3-1 Swindon I reckon.

Unchanged with Cullen up front, deserves his chance.

Nathan Smith gone off injured. That is a huge blow to us. Opportunity for Brisley anyway.

Although they have been the better side, Swindon don't deserve a goal like that at all. That's a sickener. Two deflections from a shot going nowhere and it ends up in the net. Frustrating to concede like that. We haven't created anything of note but we've been decent at the back and bar one or two moments, I haven't been concerned that we'd concede.

Game over anyway. We're not scoring today.

And there you go. Smith off, we fall apart.

Well worked goal. Easy tap in. Au revoir.

Great goal the second was. Doughty is a brilliant footballer who should be playing at a higher level.

We don’t look up for this at all.

It’s basically the reverse of the first fixture. Them losing a couple of their starting defenders killed them and same for us with Nathan Smith today.

Swindon are clearly a good team but we haven’t laid a glove on them. 0 shots on target and 0 creativity. Defended well for half an hour or so but we can’t keep that up all game and offer nothing going forward. We are being dominated in midfield.

Looks as if we are just going through the motions.

Very annoying we were so comfortable really and then have fell apart after the calamity of an own goal.

Referee is shit, booked two of ours but somehow failed to book Hope.

Games gone and losing Smith a massive massive blow, confident we don’t go in 2 down if he doesn’t go off, no idea why he was taken off when he was screaming to come back on.

Problem is no Pope to hold it up away from home. That’s when we really need him. But Amoo and Woz look off the boil. Really flat poor performance after a decent start.

You’re lucky Aitkinson is still on the pitch, though. Not a bad performance so far from a one man team!

That wasn’t a red in a million years! One foot from the side just late. No worse than Hope on Gibbons a few minutes before.

We all know Granty likes to milk it.

Not sure how we can approach the second half now really, no Pope, no Taylor, no Smith, no Manny, not really any options to be honest to change this.

Maybe Bennett with Cullen but then we will be more open than a hookers legs.

He rarely held it up against Morecambe or Stevenage away. Harry Kane would struggle to make an impact the way we played that half.

Off field?

He did something at Shrews as they sent him with the youth team. He wasn’t too much of a problem with us apart from getting a long ban for trying to get a referee who had sent him off at full time like a man possessed.

If you keep him level headed he will be quality for you next season in L1... it’s an if though.

I know this is a negative approach but just make sure they don’t do any further damage in terms of our goal difference. Realistically we are not going to come back in this. Swindon are just too good to allow that to happen.

Have to say that through ball from Doughty which set up the second goal was of the highest quality. Fair play to him for that.

Smith goes off injured and we falll apart. Its damage limitation in the second half with another tough game to follow on Tuesday.

3-0 Swindon now. This is likely to get really ugly for us. Par for the course really for us at the County Ground.

3-0 down and we change a defensive midfielder for another defensive midfielder as our final sub. Clueless.

May as well rest Joyce, we can’t afford to lose anymore key men.

Simply outclassed. Credit to Swindon and good luck with promotion. We really have to hope Smith going off was just a precaution, otherwise maybe bring in Crookes if he is good to return alongside Legge.

And to think some were saying they’d drop like a stone without Doyle and Yates. Think they managed pretty well without them.

Real horror show that after Smudge went off and a worrying performance.

Defensively the worst we’ve played this season, only the Grimsby debacle comes close, own goal, third goal is a result of multiple failures to boot a clearance and two or three other occasions we got away with errors at the back.

If Smith is being watching by Birmingham I worry big time after how we collapsed after he went off. Need to get a centre half in sharpish.

Game we always lose anyway so it’s out the way. Hopefully Pope doesn’t get another ban by Tuesday and Smith is ok to play.
