Well, where do I start?

From our point of view this was one of the most frustrating games of the season and that includes ones that we've lost too. All credit to Swindon Town, you fought for your lives, kept your shape, put your bodies on the line, stuck to your game plan and played very well in midfield. However, on another day we would have had the game won by half-time because there were times when we looked like completely overwhelming you.

In stark contrast the second half was the absolute opposite, we looked hesitant, slow and lacked ideas, even so we worked hard and fashioned a number of decent chances. Lady luck and a referee, who gave us virtually nothing all afternoon, conspired against us. It really was one of those days and I counted that we hit a post three times, the cross bar twice, had two kicked off the line in the dying minutes and in the first half had what looked like a stone wall penalty denied.

At the end it felt like a defeat for us even though it was our 17th successive game unbeaten.

Good luck to Swindon Town on that showing you'll definitely survive the dread drop. Well played! Wink

Nice One Ace Tripper. Good luck on your promotion push though I expect Saints will nab that coveted second spot at this rate.

Really enjoyed it up there yesterday. You have a great ground Acetripper, must be a great place to watch your football every week, your support is very good aswell. I think you will have a great player in Ward, even if he didnt show it yesterday. I can't see Saints not getting second now, but wish you the best of luck.

Hi Acetripper, if the blatant penalty you are on about was when Roberts dived you are very wrong, I was directly in line with it and it was the kind of thing that in an ideal world would result in a straight red and possible public flogging! Thought the ref was weak full stop though: If it wasn't for us and our players Roberts wouldn't have got his deserved booking; also thought our centre fotward, Andrew, was penalised a lot for being bigger, stronger and better at football than your centre backs. All in all though I was delighted with the point and looking at you lot yesterday once Ward develops an understanding with your players he could be the added ingredient that takes you up, I know you've been knocking on the door for a while now.
Good luck and all that, I've been to your place a few times - my visits to the wifes family (in Manchester) often coincide with town games up North (I think she is starting to realise that this isn't pure fluke!) and you certainly live in one of the nicer places that i've been to up there.
