We Were Poor Today.

No forward ideas.
Poor defence.
Midfield no bite .
No imagination in midfield.
No expensive wide attack.
Poor lost second balls.
Bagan was my MOM.

Play like this and we are relegation fodder.

Swindon deserved a result

But of an overreaction to a game that felt like a friendly.

It wasn't a perfect performance but nobody should have expected it to be.

As for Swindon deserving something, I couldn't disagree more. They had one shot on target.

Sky commentator was actually praising our attacking play.

I thought we were okay today.

A few shaky moments defensively which are a bit of a concern especially with the news on Fish and Chambers but going forward I thought we looked quite good.

Let me get this straight
First game of season scored three goals hit the crossbar went through to next round
Not a brilliant performance
But this board goes into meltdown on just about every thread
Sorry for trying to put a bit of positivity out there I await my rebuke

No surprise there, we are basically playing the same team as last season, apart from Moylan. Some of the squad players should have stayed in League 1. Very concerned with the lack of signings at this stage. I didn't expect anything else under Tan tbh.

Spot on. This forum has got worse in the last couple of years for totally out of proportion responses, it's almost like people enjoy which I find very strange.

We get this when we win .....can't imagine what orher clubs fans think losing in 1st round especially to lower league team? Watched Wrexham game they were not great shakes but garauntee us and them will play a lot better next Monday!
My one concern is the press from the other teams Swindon used it and we simply do not know how to cope same last season.

Its not a melt down .

Swindon Town are an average Div 2 side.

We were poor at times .

We scored as we should against inferior opposition.

We should retain the ball and use it at the very minimum.

What shouldn't be happening is scrapping through with a 3-2 in a game where we should completely dominate the opposition.

No meltdown or over reaction best see the flaws before Wrexham arrive as they will be up for it .

I was sat behind a right behind thier very passionate manager , who rates us .

Ridiculous reaction to a win from some, including the OP on this thread.

Hate to think what the reaction would be if we'd done what Bristol City did and lost at home.

Swindon didn't deserve a result they got two goals from one shot on target. We scored 3 so we clearly had some attacking ideas. Mad take.

No wonder only sparingly post on here got to fight to see anything positive? Yes as said lack of transfers is odd but forest have been weeks try ro get a particular player in and only today is he going to get to forest... we all supposedly support bbm but
It doesn't show on here....
