i hope Clark is humble, for once
"I thought we started the game well and in the first fifteen minutes Jordan had a very good chance to put us one up - I think he probably had time to pull it onto his stronger right foot as well.
"After that they tweaked one or two games and started getting into the game, causing us one or two problems down our right side - without Alex having to make lots of saves. We tried to match up what they were trying to do, but it was a 'bitty' game. They had a lot of possession but there wasn't a lot in it and a goal from a set play sealed it - one of their lads out-jumping one of mine to get the goal."
Clark lost both Gary Roberts and Scott Arfield to injury by the start of the second half and Lee explained that the former has broken his arm:
"The two injuries were massively disruptive, because they have been two of the better players for me. Gary Roberts has been the best player on a consistent basis for the last four or five games and he was causing problems in the short spell he was on the pitch.
"It's a very serious injury and he's in hospital as we speak. He's broken his arm badly in a high area and the specialists are looking at it - whether it needs surgery or just pinning we don't know at the minute, but he will be out for a period of time.
"At half-time Scott told me he couldn't carry on because of the kick he took just before Gary's incident; that had made his calf too tight and he couldn't move around.
"To be fair to the ref he apologised at half-time. I said at the time that Gary wouldn't have got his injury if the ref had blown when Scott was fouled; there was no advantage on because one of their players was close enough to tackle our man and as soon as Scott got fouled he should have blown up. But full credit to the ref - he came out and apologised and I appreciate that. However, that doesn't mask over the fact that I've lost one of my best players for a period of time.
"With only 45 minutes gone we were forced into two substitutions and it leaves you unable to change personnel - it restricted what I could do later in the game.
"Gary will stay down here in hospital tonight, but Scott has a dead leg and we can get a bit of treatment into that."
Despite defender Sean Morrison scoring the winner for Swindon in the final minute of normal time, Jamie McCombe came very close to restoring parity before the end of the game:
"Jamie came close at the end, but I have just said to the lads that I get frustrated with football and that type of scenario. We went one down with a few minutes to go and then put pressure on the opposition, but why not do that when its 0-0 and we have 30 minutes to go?
"We didn't pass the ball at all well today, but all credit to the lads - they showed great grit, determination and desire to withstand what Swindon threw at them. They headed away all the balls into the box well and the goalkeeper took some magnificent crosses. I thought we had withstood it, but when you keep giving the ball back to the opposition there will be wave after wave."
Lee is now looking for his side to bounce back against Rochdale on Tuesday evening:
"There will be lots of twists and turns and we cannot be up and down; we can't be massively over the top when we're winning. It's a tough one because we love to give the supporters highs and to be top of the table is a great high, but every time I pick up the paper there is always reference to where we are in the table and we're only in September!
"Of course we're disappointed - losing a match is the worst feeling in football and that will never change. When that does, it will be time for me to pack up. However, we have a great chance on Tuesday in a bit of a local derby against a team that are doing well and we have to dust ourselves down and get a result at Rochdale."
