I thought Swindon were a very very good side.
Byrne #3 was a fantastic little player. Was all over the pitch - right, left, centre.
Swift #14 on loan from Chelsea another good player, looked great in the centre.
Thompson #2 also had a good game.
Not sure what was happening with one of their Southampton lads at the end of each half but he went off the pitch arguing with the fans behind the dug out. #5. Not sure if that was Turnbull or Stephens.
They have a good mix. 2 or 3 ex Spurs youth players and 3 players on loan from the premier league.
I've never seen a team play goal kicks short as often as them. Certainly not in this division. It worked well as it dragged Murphy in. Even when they put it long Byrne would sprint to the halfway line to try and leave Murphy offside.
What let Swindon down for me was they played up to the referee, made the game niggly and forced us to change the style of our play. They are clearly a better team than that but they are now the 3rd good team to come to the lane in an attempt to niggle and break the game up frequently (Preston & MK).
