Well, you could say a draw was a fair result but maybe that's looking at it optimistically. And yet we could have won it late on with a bit more steadiness in the Swindon penalty area two or three times.
On the other hand we often didn't look very convincing when Swindon were on the attack - usually after we'd given the ball away.
But, hopefully, the point gained may turn out in the end to be an important one.
Difficult to choose a man of the match as it would have to be whoever gave the ball away the least, but I wouldn't argue too much with the choice of Adam Jackson. He and Monstma did as well as anybody as did Hopper and McGrandles. Edun was certainly an improvement on Bramall but he wasn't faultless. It was unfortunate for Bramall that the best thing he did was ruined by Palmer. As for Palmer, he did at least make two good saves from free kicks which in the end preserved a point for us.
Watching it, I thought Rogers had no chance of scoring from there!
Some good words from Michael Appleton post-match.
