    Good win and a good performance throughout. The only gripes are the soft goal we gave away and the lack of ruthlessness up front - we should have had 3 or 4 today. The manner of our general play is improving though. It's much, much better since Cooke came in - he should've been MoTM today. Getting Ismail and Connelly up to speed is making an impact too. For January, another quality and Centre Fwd should be on our list.

    Yep. First points against a team in the top 7. Nice that the move to put on another forward paid off.

    Liverpool got an injury time winner. He'll be fine

    Up to 6th lads and lasses.

    Two points off 3rd and only three of the top.

    Both teams to score and City to win. More pennies in the coffers. I love home games.

    Best performance of the season by some distance. Looks like Vaughan did us a favour getting himself banned.

    Loved Akpan celebrating to the Kop cupping his ears. Lap it up fella.

    Cooke MOTM for me today. Control and discipline.

    First game since August but very positive feel from the game.

    Ha
    . Have to agree. No disrespect to Vaughan but we were less predictable and won the game. Food for thought.

    Just slagging Akpan off to all around me and he scored. Always said he was a good player

    Good to see two out of favour players scoring. Shows we have a squad who want to compete

    Anthony o connor superb today, never missed an header. Going a long way to put last year behind him, and whilst i gave him flack for it i tip my hat to him today.

    As a side note the next run of matches are morecambe (a) , crawley (h), port vale (h) and macclesfield (a). Surely a month to make a statement

    We looked tighter in the middle due to being 4-2-3-1. Donaldson played the lone role well today and Pritchard looked more comfortable in field than hugging the touchline. As @Faithful Bantam@Faithful Bantam alludes to, a bit more ruthless and we’d have won by more.

    Thoughts on not playing 4 4 2?

    It was a bit of an obsession earlier in the season...

    I'm not sure Donaldsin can play one up top and put the sort of effort he did today into every game at 35 years old, we were better second half supporting the lad and thoroughly deserved the points.

    I though both the Swindons full backs had all on trying to cope with Connolly & Ismail, as you say Prichard look at home more central.

    He played well but blotted his copybook for their goal when he didn’t follow his runner
