Our keepers injured, Smith flapped and Ferry scored an own goal. Derby missed a tackle and we go 2-0 down, away, at the valley. Greer loses his head, and sees read. Our leading scorer is not firing on all cylinders. We were dead and buried with the only thing to cling on to is the fact one Town goal would change the tie again, but it might as well be 100 we are playing that badly.
What happened next?
Unfuckingbeleivable!
The way we dug in and fought for it was immense. Sure we had a bit of luck on the night, but that balances against the goals we should have scored on Friday.
Have to say Smith had a superb second half, and all the lads handled the pressure of the penalty shootout with far more composure than I did!
Wembley, Wembley, we're the famous Swindon Town and we're going to Wembley!
In an odd way Greer getting sent off helped us a lot. It meant JFL went to centre back where he peformed about a million times better than he had at left back.
Amankwaah added something going forward. JPM looked a lot better in the middle and Charlton didn't know where Ward was playing...
Its galvanised us and we raised our game. We've not had that sort of spirit for years.
Agree 100%. LJF was superb when he switched to centre back.

Did Gazza get back from Didcot?
