Thought it was about time we had a proper thread title...
Lost 3-2 today, with Mason scoring a 40 yarder in injury time. Hall and Pritchard also started, with Pritchard providing the assist for the first; also in the team were ex-Spurs Luongo and Kasim, the latter of whom has gone from clubless zero to cult hero. Byrne missed the game through suspension, a shame as he was just starting to win over the Swindon fans after being switched from left back to right wing.
Despite the result Swindon fans seem over the moon at the performance, both the classy, entertaining style of play and how effective this is enabling them to dominate opponents, as they apparently did today. From assuming at the start of the season that their ridiculously young team of loanees and rejects was doomed to relegation, they are now starting to talk about the play-offs.
This whole 'feeder club' thing is starting to look like a really worthwhile experiment. Hats off to Tim Sherwood for having the vision to making it happen.
