Swindon (Hive) The Match Thread which Swindon't give up

[StephenM]

Blackamn off injured, that'll please the masses.

[rudebwoyben]

This is a million times better than the Grimsby and Cheltenham performances so far.

[jamiefrbees]

Finally, with a combination of judgement (Watson out) and luck (Blackman injured), we have our first choice side on the pitch, and boy does it show.

Finally we're seeing the sort of team we knew was in there at the start of the season

[Barnetchris]

We are playing some of the best football I’ve see this season, we’re first to the ball with lots of desire out there.

[Golf Delta]

You can't seriously be bemoaning the fact the manager has finally come to his senses, dropping Watson and giving us a competitive midfield!

Would that be the same Watson that scored on Saturday? Tremendous boost to his confidence to be dropped to the bench following that.

[Barnetchris]

1-2 Swindon.

[Barnetchris]

Can’t believe we are losing this, we look like the top of the table team they look less than average.

[rudebwoyben]

Balls.
We should have been given a free-kick for shirt-tugging in big John further back in the passage of play.

Yes, the same Watson. It’s great that he managed to score a free-kick but that doesn’t excuse the deficiencies in the rest of his game. The midfield looks much better without him in it.

Is there something about impending halftime/fulltime whistles that sends this team into meltdown mode?

It's the way the season is now going to go.....

[becbee]

We don't get justifiable free kicks but when the Swindon player clearly dives, they do. Coupled with their freak opening goal, this just isn't fair.

Best Barnet 45 minutes for a very long time.

There is definitely an issue with the team maintaining their focus for the entirety of the match.

[#Beebot]

Being let down by poor game management again...

Reminds me of the Mansfield game.

Still don't think MM should be in a job. Only playing a full strength side due to injuries and tiredness.
