    Ive always said I think Jake Young has something. It looks like he just needed a bit love.

    Good start to his Swindon career.

    1 shot, 0 on target.

    This isn't good enough by any stretch.

    Sort it out, fast.

    Each to their own. I would rather win 1-0 than get absolutely stuffed which they have witnessed twice already at home

    There's something confusing though, Jon.

    We were told we didn't need to change a lot this season and we didn't need a lot of investment in the team yet 6 of the starting 11 are new and we're playing an entirely different formation to last season so it just feels like last season didn't happen and we're starting from scratch again. It just confuses me.

    Why not stick with last season's 4-2-3-1 now we've added better attacking right/left sided defenders and the extra talent of Smith, Pattison and McDonald?

    It feels like we're less solid than last year and about the same ability to create chances and score than last season so there doesn't seem to be any advantage to this new formation.

    This has to be our poor 45 minutes, it can't be worse second half.

    It's not about one game. I've seen enough of Hughesball to judge. The only thing that gave us credibility last season was Cook having the season of his life, and plenty of his goals were from set pieces, pens, or solos. We will not go up from this league under Hughes and with the backing he's had, these performances aren't good enough.

    Bored with this game. I feel for the fans who travel in numbers to watch this absolute rubbish. Very poor game playing into the hands of Adams. Feels like it's gonna be a 1-0 home win

    Too early to say.

    Wrexham and Stockport won't have thrown the towel in yet, either, because football doesn't work like that.

    Form isn't everything, you have to be able to see past it.

    That's not a 'flip', it's acknowledging the lull that we're in and not throwing the towel in like a quitter.

    Some people can't see beyond their own nose, apparently.

    Cook could at least challenge for the ball

    This is a shambles....back 3 just too slow how can he not see it, we've seen it every game

    We do several passes which gets us nowhere. Attacking wise dreadful absolutely nothing.

    What makes me laugh is looking at this team and the total lack of quality in key positions and there are still fans who think this is a good squad and we will achieve things. I mean Christ judge with your eyes this lot are dire.

    Something I’ve not been able to label at players for a few years but some look not interested and arsed.
