Great first 15 minutes and it was all city up until the goal. Holmes is having his best game for a long time and drove into their box a few times. Forte took his goal well and it was similar to his one against Cambridge. After the goal Swindon and especially Anderson seemed to wake up and they've come close a few times. The first 15 minutes our midfield was controlling things but after the goal they seem to have started to stand off Swindon and let the have more control. Pym needed to realise that going long on our right hand side with the wind so strong wasn't going to work, he made the same mistake about 5 or 6 times and the ball just got caught in the air and out for a Swindon throw. The good news is that we'll have the wind behind his kicks in the second half and if we bring on Ogbene for Holmes, him and Forte will destroy their defenders for pace. Even so, we should be trying to play with the ball on the fround, we're much better playing that way.

Good considering the Ch*efs are at home too

I wonder what the point of bringing back Hartridge was when he still doesn't make the bench, was getting useful game time at Truro.

Hartridge was unfortunately injured playing for the under-23's earlier in the week so isn't available today.

Started well and good goal from long punt flicked by Forte that slo-mo’d into the net.
Swindon back into it after that and should have equalised through Richards’ header. Need to get back to closing down more.
Think the wind has picked up as Pym really struggling. Feel sorry as don’t think he could have kicked it anywhere well. Interested to see what McC tries.
Tough second half to come...

Good late goal for Northampton stops Forest Green charge up the table

We have an excellent commentary team today. John Ayres was always my favorite. I dont know why we have Baldwin instead of Bargie? He's pretty knowledgable though.

I think the wind is the winner so far. Always hard to tell on iFollow but the wind seemed to be mostly against us but somehow our goal was wind-assisted.

Thanks Oldsy. Pretty good considering weather and the other lot.
