Can't disagree much with what has been posted already by those who went. I'd like to single out two players though, one good, one bad.

David Prutton - utterly pedestrian, second to every ball, looks a yard off the pace and lacking ideas. On the bright side, a very good pass to put Caddis in in 2nd half.

Alan O'Brien - Really good performance from Alan today. I singled him out against Orient for his performance and today was more of the same. Frightening pace and the delivery is getting there. Could be a big bonus for us this season if he stays fit.

Prutton seems to me to keep trying to play 'exotic' passes when there are easy balls on.  One example today in the first half when he had the chance to slide JPM in for what could have been a chance, instead playing a cross-field pass to.....no-one!!  There wasn't a Town player within 20 yards of where the pass went so not sure who / what he saw!!

As with any player who pulls on the red of Swindon though I'll give him time.  Met up with a Leeds fan before today's game who said Prutton was a quality player for them - I think he's a good player but for whatever reason he hasn't quite showed it yet in our first 3 games.

I've no doubt Prutton will come good for us. I couldn't believe some stuff I was reading in various outlets this afternoon. 2 games people! TWO games!

Was very happy to get back in the car at 4.40 and hear it was 2-2, having previously got out of the car at 3.25 with the score obviously at  2-0

Just seen the goals on BBC iplayer Football League show.  Great come back by us and looked as if we could have nicked it at the end.

Great goal by Dossevi and a nice little set up by Pericard for Austin who finished it cooly.

I'm as desperate for Pericard to come good as the next man, but it looked like it bobbled off his leg and Charlie nipped in to score!

Not sure if Virgin media player still has them??

Two well taken goals, I'd love to give Vince the assist but I don't think it was!

Can't get enough of Austins movement for that diving header. The way he just left his marker and appeared in the right place was top class.

What has happened to Hartlepool's attendances?!

2900 for their first league game of the season after they beat Sheff United in midweek?

Surely whoever is bankrolling them cant go on forever?

In the third tier I can only remmember ever going to a game with a lower attendance than that. Wrexham away about 2002, and they went terminally downhill after that. Dagenham will be a new low though, cant remmember a club as small as that being in the 3rd tier for years?
