Wellens talks a good game and the media love all his talk of playing a high pressing game with lots of quick passing. However, I was surprised how quickly they ran out of ideas and seemed to lack any sort of plan B once a team works out how to play against them. I'm still not sure whether they were really good in the first half and we did well to stay in the game or whether we made them look good by struggling to control the ball and to control possession.***king hell if you read the Swindon forum there are only two places up for Autos after Saturday - they might as well take the place of Bury.
The match was enjoyable on Saturday and Swindon did dominate the first half, but to me never really looked effective, and in the second half after the first ten minutes I thought you could see them physically tire which is when we came to the fore in the match. When they equalised they were even then slowing the play down hoping to kill time, whereas we still went on trying to look for the winner.
Part of the enjoyment of the match was watching two teams initially trying to go for it without employing game management tactics. If Swindon had scored early on I wonder what would have heppened.
A quick message to Swindon fans you are not Lincoln (last year they annihilated us with us both challenging for the top spot at the time)
