An excellent performance by our boy's, narrowly losing 3-2 against a Swindon Town team comprising Under 23's and First Team squad player's. I felt the first half STFC showed their quality with slick passing and went 3 up, albeit it 2 of their goals came from glaring defensive errors which need to be sorted before we kick off the new season. However, the second half saw the introduction of Jake and Pratty, who caused STFC all manner of problems with their pace, and the game changed completely, with Swindon chasing shadows for most of the half. 2 goods goals from Will and Pratty meant the game finished very tight, and I think if the game had run for 10 more minutes, we would have got another goal. So an excellent crowd of just under 700 were treated to an entertaining game, with Jared Thompson making a world class save from a breakaway (I still cannot believe how he got to it !!) near the end. Have to say I'm still no clearer as to what our line up will be against Havant & Waterlooville. I saw 2 of their officials walking out at the end, and they did not look too happy - hope that is a good omen. COYBM
