It's insane technique on the pass from Austin - honestly think some are taking him for granted. We were crying out for experience this time last season. He is it.
Agree. No one is denying he has missed about 8 or 9 absolute sitters this season though. |

Newport fans not very impressed with us it seems. We were marginally the better side in the first half. Two players made poor decisions for their goal, but it t was a finely judged shot fron their player. Second half we were toothless. That it was only 2-0 is actually an indication of how poor a team Swindon were.
we could not have complained if we had lost by a wider margin.
I think we may look back at this as an ok loss against a top 3 side, while having a huge number of players missing
I am one of these fans which thinks Swindon were bang average yesterday. If we don't give away a stupid goal then you could see that being a backs to the wall 0-0.
Interestingly a lot of Swindon fans on Reddit thought they were pretty average yesterday. The commentary I listened to was the Home commentary as my iFollow was on the blink and they were v critical of their players. They frequently made reference to the fact that if we were slightly better they might have been punished for being sloppy.

That's what I saw too.
Someone posted earlier that the reason RHM was able to score was because he didn't have time to think. I think there is something in that. I also think that this might have been the one time out of 10 that it hit the back of the net, while the other 9 times might have ended up in the Town End or hitting the corner flag.
To be fair though,he had plenty of time to think about the one v Sutton. But that's him,enigmatic! |

It certainly wasn't one of our better games, but we still beat em 2-0 1st half was very poor but I thought we were pretty much totally in control all 2nd half and Newport looked a very poor side, in the 1st they showed a lot more though and I was concerned when it was only 1-0 as I still thought they could get back into it. |

the last one had about 10 pages that consisted of trolling. Pretty embarrassing to be honest. |

TBH on matchdays I often contribute about 6 or 7 pages on my own! rather than just 6 or 7 posts in total. |
