What a game that was. Flynn flying in the face of his reputation for hoofball. We really played some lethal stuff at times.

First 10 minutes we were sloppy, particularly Dokes and McEachran but they missed some gold plated chances thankfully.

After that we were great.

We do have a structural/systemic problem in the transition from attacking to defending. The midfield just goes completely missing. One of Khan or McEachran has to sit properly in front of the back 4.

Similarly, Dokes and FBT are probably too inclined to get forward. If they could dial it back 10% we would be more balanced I think.

I thought Brewitt was superb today. Was in a good physical battle with their forward that he won every single time, and he played some nice passes out of the back.

Going forward we were mustard. Charlie never got that chance but did good honest work up there and was in the right positions, it just never fell for him.

We simply have to buy Kemp and Young, or hope for another global pandemic ending the season with us flying high in January.

Lindsey ahead of the game:
- Nah, nah, nah. Its just another game
- I've watched Swindon ahead of the game
- Unbelieveable game against Wrexham. I've analysed it
- Pitch will be good. There will be a good crowd there.
- Reaction has been positive. Players body language and attitude ahas been better than last season
- We held a meeting. We felt we dropped 2 points against Salford and should have got something against Gillingham
- The feeling in the camp is that although we have 7 points we should have 12.
- We have frustration and focus to gain back the points we've dropped
- Could a win against Swindon be a turning point? 'I fink probably so, yeah!'
- Will take each game as it comes. Thats the most important one as its the next one. We are going to concentrate fully on that. We will set the side up to win the game. We'll see what happens. Football is a low scoring game. Sometimes it tips one way and tips the other. We are going to make sure we are in the balance. Hopefully at the end of play we have the 3 points. And we can come away and enjoy our journey 'ome!

Shoutout for Uwakwe today. I thought he looked vastly improved and added some good balance to the side.

yeah, and "initial" may suggest further option, maybe?

mk didn't declare how long they'd signed Kemp for, but I assume it's been mentioned since?

Bradford will recall Young in January.

He’s only here because of a fall out with Hughes. He’ll walk straight into their team as soon as Hughes goes

No he won't. He'll be signed on way before January.
