Top of the league, but I think we’ll be 2nd tonight whatever the result between Gills and Barrow. Keep it ticking along like this and it could be a good season.
Their bus driver will certainly have to get his foot down to get to Bromley before 5.30.

Man of the match according to their match day sponsor  Just shows how poor they are.

More nervy than the score line suggests. I do think a typical Swindon team would throw that 2-0 lead away so coming away with the win is a good sign.

I didn't realise that their keeper (with the dreadful hair!) is a local lad and Georgia Stanways younger brother.

Glatzel: - Came with a plan and executed well - Front foot attacking team, pressing high and putting them under pressure. We played good football when we had the ball - Losing Smith has fuelled the fire. Tough as a team to lose him, but it brought the team together - Off the ball work: Part of our game. To win ball back up high. We have worked hard on this. - Happy to be getting a run of games. Helps get a rhythm - Coming off the bench is different as you are often trying to close out the game - Forwards have different qualities. Bring something different to the game. Can only be a good thing - Want to score as many goasls as possible. Trying to get into top 3 in the league in scoring - Very encouraging. Only the start. But we are building. - Looking forward to the next few games and hopefully will be able to solidify the position we are in.

Good performance. Easily the better of two decent sides for this level. Unstoppable first half, unflappable second. Despite their increased possession we were rarely troubled apart from a top class save by Ripper and one of the streakiest goals we've ever conceded. Three nil down at home you'd expect them to throw everything forward but we defended well I thought with Mabete again impressive for me. Oldaker was definitely player of the first half. Overall MOM probably Drinan for me

I think Palmer is getting frustrated that no one will pass to him. He’s been in so much space 3 times in the last couple of mins
Noticed he was getting frustrated against Reading as well. Going to be an obvious drop off in quality here from those he was used to playing with at Wrexham that will take some adjusting to (no disrespect to our squad intended) but hope he maintains that level, eventually the players around him will click into sync with it.

Holloway: - Only looking at we got wrong. There is enough to sink a battleship today - We started badly, then opened them up - Got a second goal slightly against the run of play - Knew they were going to make a substitution at half time and come at us - We needed everybody. - Noone did anything wrong to deserve substituion - We have a strong bench - Nobody is selfish and gets upset if not picked - Ollies Clarke and Palmer will be up to speed soon. We've also got the 2 Bristol City lats. Whoa! - Drinan, with his pace, power and drive. Do I want to take him off? No. Have spoken to him about it. But needed him to play in Snowden's place eventhough he doesnt favour it. We do practice it - We almost let them back in - Should have scored a fourth. Prince coudl and should have rolled X in. But he's still learning - A lot to learn and improve. Its good to be able to do that after wins - Oldaker playing further forward as we have a lot of people at the back who can bring the ball out - Ripley made a world class save - Takes everyone to get a result. Sometimes it will be ugly. - Midfield looked like we were strangling them. That's what their crowd didnt like - Trying to create a mentality that if we let 2 in then we might score 3 - We have a lot of young lads. Are our team fit enough? We have to look at it. - We have some fantastic players here. Holloway has to mould them into a team.

Their keeper looks as bad as his haircut.
