Looks to be another game where we have defied the stats .

But does it really matter so long as we have the points ?

Not at our best,but three more points! They were the better team in the first half.We took the lead with a great finish from Oliver,but they missed chances at key times.Once we got the second goal in the second half,it was game over.They had a lot of the ball,and more chances but we took our chances on the day.A shame we couldn’t be there to watch it,as games against Swindon always create a good atmosphere.

5 games unbeaten in the league now,3 straight wins,and two clean sheets in a row.We’re in a much better place than 5 weeks ago.
