Ta. It's cause I wasn't there. We have won all games I have attended (which isn't many I know).
I didnt go to Plymouth due to a mates wedding but a few people i know went and they said we weren't too bad but a little shaky...
As for yesterday dont get me started... Butters and Hart played well but as for everyone else the less said the better... Roberts had an absolute shocker, Knight had to deal with hoof balls all the time and could do nothing with them, when will the team learn Knight needs ball to feet!!!
I think its time DK got his chequebook out again but i fear his 50p wont get us very far, we clearly need another striker and some creativity in midfield and a right back, oh and can we please call Kuipers back?

Given the performance - and in fairness to a good Swindon side - a point gained yesterday. Not two points dropped.
We allowed them to dominate the midfield and create attacking moves for themselves. In the absence of a good midfielder who can serve the little fella well, we need to learn to play the Swindon Town way and never give the opposition time to get possession and do something with it.
Dare I say, some more short passing along the ground?

said all along before we should press for wins all the time we'd been 50% better off losing yesterday and winning in the west country
everyone has slow starts who does well at the end, look at the premiershite last year, anyone see man utd lose at leeds or man city, they didnt look champions, they didnt look uefa cup quality even, but they did it in the end, and sometimes a good start doesnt mean you do well at the end, like arsenal last year, newcastle back in 1995/96.

I wasn't there yesterday, but its the first game I have missed this season.
I am really surprised at this type of reaction as we are talking ourselves down all the time, I don't think we have played well so far this season, but have never been outclassed. When we get ball to feet we are a class above the rest.
Why are we accepting that mediocracy is the way forward, sorry from what I heard on the radio yesterday , and certainly from being there last week, its 4 points DROPPED in 2 games.

I am in agreement with Lord B.
We fought back after being behind twice. That takes guts.
We never gave up. Ok I know we need to pass the ball instead of hoofing it but I think at times the defence just didn't really know how else to handle the Swindon attack.
This is the write up on the BBC site which puts a slightly different slant on it......
Brighton 2-2 Swindon
Brighton twice fought back to snatch a draw as Sam Parkin's double failed to give Andy King's side victory.
Parkin put the visitors ahead with an angled shot, but Swindon's defence switched off as Gary Hart ran through to level from the restart.
Swindon regained the lead when Parkin nipped in following a long throw-in by David Duke, and strike partner Tommy Mooney almost made it three with a superb shot which struck the crossbar.
But Brighton, who have not beaten Swindon at home for 27 years, salvaged a point when Stefani Miglioranzi floored Leon Knight and Darius Henderson converted the penalty.
Swindon, with incisive forward play, tormented Brighton on a number of occasions and both Mooney and the on-loan James Milner almost grabbed a winner late on.
Parkin and Mooney now boast 11 goals between them this season while Brighton's former Chelsea striker Leon Knight also impressed.

We give the ball away far too cheaply. On present form i feel a mid table finish is looming.
