This is my synopsis on proceedings yesterday....
Good point earned, let’s not forget Franchise are a tough unit to beat, just because we stuffed 4 past them in the week didn’t mean we'd score 5 yesterday. I'm sure a lot of thisis comments section posters will be calling for Wilson's head again, because they were convinced about us dishing out a beating.
Jean-Francois looks terrible, he got totally the wrong side of the Franchise player at the start of the 2nd half which called Lucas into action with a smart save. He's either going to grow into a good player, or he's going to be uncovered as an embarrassing footballing hoax.... like Ali Dia. (

Macklin looks like he's going to be a good player, but I think to expect him to deliver now is putting too much presh on the guy, so I don't honestly think he should be starter. Saying that, when he went off all Swindon's attacking involvement kinda dissipated.
JP McGovern was outstanding again, fantastic commitment and desire. Timlin was the opposite, disappearing for long periods, offering no creativity or attacking impetus. I await a thread to be started called 'Which creative midfielders should we sign' because we soooooo desperately need someone to take the ball early, turn, pass to feet and move into space, like Hazard/McLoughlin. But of course there are loads of them waiting around to be snapped up, in fact there is a tree opposite my house that literally grows them.
Douglas showed the reason why he's in the midfield, he's there for tough tackling, tracking back and yelling, very loudly.....
O'Brien looks a comedy footballer, lots of pace and no confidence, he reminded me of Dean Hooper.
The Dongs came purely not to get beat after the midweek hammering, if we'd been playing any other team I think we would've won it.
A point was fair enough. (but we could’ve so won it when JP's excellent shot was cleared off the line....)
PS, I'm eating a FAB ice lolly, since when did jokes disappear from the sticks?
