On the day it was probably a bit of both . I think Ross got his tactics completely wrong in the first half of that game but that's just the way it goes . The good thing is we're showing signs of improvement . So long as we're OK this season from relegation , I'm happy

Agreed I think it was both. Personally thought Swindon were very good on the day.

I thought they wiped they're arses with us, I was so down after that game then Colchester one killed me off for away games, looks like i'll need to reconsider now

This is our first season back in the EFL so these type of performances and results were bound to happen . After what we've been through , we're still finding our feet at this level so we've got to preserve with it . At the end of the day , I think we'll be fine . Like I said before , so long as we stay out of relegation trouble this season, I'll be happy enough Next season we could try to push onwards and upwards if we can.

I think once we switched at HT to 4-4-2 in that game we more than matched them, in fact I think we won the 2nd half 1-0.
Ross got the formation wrong in that game starting with 5-3-2 and they really did tear us apart in that 1st half.

Thing is that with a big lead they could drop the intensity and focus on not expending unnecessary energy ahead of the next game. Them adapting to our 5-3-2 better than we did certainly was responsible for that first half though.
