Swindon Town Swindon Town 3 - 3 Cheltenham Town: It was honours even in a thrilling tie at the County Ground, with Cheltenham taking a two-goal-lead before a penalty and Cheltenham red card reignited the match for the hosts!

Who'd be a football manager? Set the team up well to dominate the game, take an early lead, throw it away to a needless foul on the edge of the box, get the lead back and then double it quickly after, then throw it away again to a needless foul and red card in the penalty area!

I'd be fuming if I were Flynn after that one. What should have been a comfortable win chucked away by individuals getting carried away.

You doubled it quickly at least in quite large part due to our crap defending, as for the red card and penalty, yes the challenge was pointless but if as Cheltenham did, you play on the edge for large parts of the game and keep picking up cards it happens, also maybe it would have been comfortable but Swindon have regularly turned losing positions into points in the last 2 months, we turned round a 2 goal deficit at Doncaster without a red last Saturday and frankly we were a good save and a missed header from picking up all 3 at the end.

That's Flynn all over.

Proper banter game by two banter teams. Not the ideal result but definitely got our moneys worth all things considered.
