Anyone who went to the game thinking Hunt was going to go strong, really hasn't paid much attention to how he approaches cup games. Personally I enjoy seeing the Academy boys and new recruits play. Positives for me were Marriott and Ritchie. And shout out to Reece Evans, who looked a real handful. Looks a much better prospect than Okine-Peters, wouldn't be surprised if he challenges O'Mahoney for that alternate striker spot. After the first two games this season thought Stickland was looking the most likeliest candidate to partner Paudie. But since that performance against Bolton, he's properly dropped off. Real shame, but he now… More →

Feels like a lot of the fanbase are suffering with PTSD post Dai Yongge and everything that the last few years has brought about. I had a ticket for last night but couldn’t be arsed going so gave it away. The chants were very OTT but like others have said, Hunt should have at the very least had more experience on the bench. He should have also read the room a bit. This was a sold out away end for a first competitive visit to the County Ground since 2002. For a large proportion of that away end, they will have never seen us play at Swindon so of course it was bigger than your usual cup game.

Agree - Hunt didn't read the room....this game was sold out in hours and we would have taken double if able to. As others have also said we have no game for 2 weeks and putting a few more seniors out there would have done no harm instead of selections that aren't anywhere near the first team.

Swindon were 92nd at one point in the football league last season. The transformation underway with Holloway is what all football fans dream of. Worth noting that Swindon also finished the game without a centre half/centre back. Three fullbacks aged 19, 20 and 21. Not just big chequebooks that matter.

Didn't go to too many games last season but the season before - there was always a sizeable minority that would give the side pelters after a defeat. It was especially pointed at the start as Selles was insisting the players go to the fans at the end and, as we all know, we lost a whole chunk of away games in a row. But you can see it on here. I'm genuinely amazed the new owners are getting the criticism they are, it's been barely a third of a year and we've had to play catch-up. I'm less amazed that Hunt is getting some stick, that's maybe to be expected, but the level is surprising and the sense it could turn vicious is… More →

The only stick that I see the owners getting is over the hype saying what kind of transfer window we can expect. If they had just said that the club is aiming for stability this season on and off the pitch I don't think there would have been much made of the transfers in or indeed any criticism. As it is they have to go all Yankee on us and treat us as kids needing everything to be overhyped when it was completely unnecessary , just like the fire and smoke last Saturday.
