To be fair to him, he wasn't the worst Swindon player in that goal, Delany dangled a foot while stood shoulders square in such a fashion some of the U16 boys I coach would have cringed.
Agree that Delaney should have been alive to the rebound, but 99 times out of 100, the keeper saves it and that doesn’t matter. Usually when a keeper isn’t up to it, you’re taking about command of the area and positioning - but we seem to have such obvious errors quite frequently with Bycroft and Barden. |

We look vulnerable down the wings, but another battling display so far. Good finish by Smith, but we haven’t created much else. My other half asked why they had a rockhopper penguin playing for them  😂. I was thinking Wednesday Addams! |

I actually meant on the run through before the initial shot |

It should be said, cracking strike from Harry Smith. He really is a very good lower league striker.

I’m sure he’ll end up scoring, but struggling to see what Nichols brings us.

In real time from behind the goal to the left looked like a decent block by Bycroft with not much control over where it went.
Didn't have the benefit of replay.
Could go either way this.

Cant recall Nichols doing anything in the first half.

Must admit compared to our recent run of managers - I actually trust Holloway’s judgement more so… …but…I’m equally amazed & disappointed that we’ve bought in two non goal scoring strikers (of which we have in abundance already) and not a goal keeper. That should have been top of the shopping list. |

Here comes the new lad, on for Nicholas who has been, to put it politely, low key in this game.

Based on what it used to be like the pitch doesn’t look too bad
