Not even sure where to start.
If we'd lost in the 90 minutes, I'd have been pissed off. To equalize at the death though and lose on penalties was absolutely gutting. The dejection as we all left seemed far worse than after we lost at Wembley in 2010.
That stupid last minute penalty on Saturday and one of the most utterly shambolic 50 mins of football has cost us the tie. Brentford are shit.
Fundamentally though our season ended in January when Black pulled the plug, Ritchie was sold and Di Canio walked. This season was never going to have a happy ending. That was our best chance of reaching the Championship and I genuinely fear what next season will hold. Time for some answers now Jed, you can't hide any longer!

I'm sorry folks, I cant bare looking at all the pre match posts and the post match posts other than what I have posted. I'll see all those that share my pasion in August for a relegation battle as my ST finance has been approved.
Suffice to say that all those who went today saw the last performance of many 1st team regulars in a town shirt and those on Saturday likewise!!
As someone posted, roll on the ashes.

It is annoying how we gifted Brentford 3 of their four goals.
Still we played awfully at yet somehow managed to take it to penalties, then eff it up. Typical Swindon style.

Fuck sake. Absolutley gutted. Could have forgiven Storey for missing the penalty if he hit it with a bit of conviction but these short run ups never seem to have a happy ending. Why didn't Raffa take one?? The guys meant to be a striker for fuck sake!!!

Is it wrong that I'm more pissed off about losing my oyster card than that game?
Didn't take me very long to get over this time! I was distraught after Brighton!!

I think you're right in terms of a possible relegation battle next season and you could tell at the end when the players came over they were saying goodbyes - McCormack, Flint and Ferry. Couldn't see any of the penalties as the teams were in the way. As soon as Storey went up, I had a feeling he'd miss. Shame it's on his shoulders a bit now. |

I'm still pissed off, but Brighton took weeks...I know this time it won't. The bigger question now is, will I need my orange hat next season? |

And what happened to mccormack's bottle in the shoot out!
Bad enough having 2 centre halfs and a 19 year old taking 3/5 of them!

How on earth we got it to pens after that first half I will never know. We were awful but somehow gave ourselves a lifeline with the Rooney goal. Then Roberts does that.
Credit to the players for digging deep and clawing it back. That last minute equaliser was brilliant. Thought we were going to replicate the Charlton win but it wasn't to be. No idea why McCormack didn't take a penalty. The senior players should have stepped up and shown some bottle there.
Feel really sorry for Mile Storey tonight.
Onto next season. What will the summer bring? I worry a lot of bad news.
