I thought we were the better team in that we battled more and showed more commitment and could easily of banged a couple in 1st half. Your Grant and Stead were your downfall IMO as they couldn't handle it and no doubt, like you, thought we would be a walkover given losing 0-5 to Luton. These two players were losing the plot and made for great entertainment at my end lol.
We eased off towards the end and you desperately tried to equalise but a lack of on target kicking and a brilliant tip over save from our number 2 keeper kept the score as it should of been - 1-0.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game due to the win - the antics of your two players and the banter from our fans.
If you'd had told me you were coming down I could of got you a beer and we could have watched the Gers.
Fans nearly always say "we didn't play well" when they lose.
Some Luton fans were on a Swindon forum arguing with me as I said neither team (Swindon or Luton) looked very good despite 0-5 to them. I left the convo last week but went back in on Saturday and pointed out the Vale 4-0 result lol Karma is wonderful.
In general this league is very poor in quality of football and it seems no team is standing out as top dogs. We beat Luton at theirs 3-0. We beat Port Vale at theirs 3-0.Both times we looked really good. Laz went to Crewe and said we looked really good when we beat them.
I conclude we or any team is only as good as the opposition allow and we were better on the days.
