    Can we have a revised update? :unsure:

    Maybe this will help you, form a balanced and objective opinion. Help me with your first sentence.

    Like it or not Swindon created nothing from open play, if Power doesn't come up with the money (if we are happy to let Doyle go) he must be mad, twice I've seen Swindon and they were not a patch on the Crewe side the other month, we take Doyle back that lot will implode.

    Excellent point. Well done Bowyer and the players.

    Now lets get Doyle recalled and push on

    Is it a cup game? Normally 30 minutes.

    Delighted with that result. A draw at the current league leaders with an 89th minute equaliser. Sounds like they were hanging on at the end, shame we couldn't nick the 3 but I'll take that. Gives us confidence she keeps that unbeaten run going.

    Get Donaldson and Devitt back in contention and things are starting to look pretty promising.

    I didn’t think we were any worse than Swindon. Apart from the opening 10/15 minutes I thought Swindon were poor. They offered nothing and neither did we.

    I thought we edged the second half and deserved the equaliser as Swindon didn’t do enough to deserve the win. There is a good team in there for us we just need to

    Today was more must not lose than must win.

    A very good away point even if we play shocking footy.

    Will happily take a boring year if we go up and get rid of Bowyer in the summer.

    Might just be me but watching that game caddis was one of Swindons best players, he is so much better than mellor and henley even though hes not quick at all apart from that they really aint anything special

    How's he got away with it?

    He chose what looked like a tentative team, I've no idea why he persists with Henley and yes paid the price

    But he then changed it in the second half and in fairness we were the better team for the last 20 minutes

    Six points, with a game in hand, off these Swindon pure footy purists and still missing Donovan, Pritchard and Ismail, the former a key player who we've had to cope without for weeks - but still the moaning goes on

    In L2, when you've got players of similar ability at the different teams, it's not about the football quality. It is about the belief and that only comes from the skills of the manager and ability to inspire players to keep going and have faith in project

    We now get better as the match wears on, we're almost taking it for granted. Yes. we need to start matches better - but last season when teams did to us what we've just done to Swindon, the likes of yourself were full of praise for them

    Fourth having played the best team twice and not lost, with key players poised to come back - with 22 matches left. Yet, this seems to be a negative with some

    I guess McCartan isn't crap this week. Another one with a stay of execution from the scapegoat role.

    The onus was always on Swindon being the home team, far from a great advertisement for football but hey I'm with you points on the door are far better than performances.

    And it's not worth reading on a "light theme" ;).

    If we'd started the game how we finished we could have won.

    Our first half performances have been awful all season. Can't think why.
