That was a hard watch and probably hard to play! Against a young, enthusiastic Didcot side, who were probably the worst side I have seen in this league, Swans struggled to find any rhythm at all. This was a world away from the scintillating football of Saturday. Didcot had hardly had a touch of the ball before we gifted them a goal and from there on we really struggled to find any kind of cohesion. Another mystifying refereeing performance added to the confused state of the match, disallowing a Swans goal for no apparent reason and denying another couple of penalty appeals.
Eleven minutes on the clock and Swans made a typical mistake at the back and concede a goal.
In the 75th minute Swans were awarded a penalty when Stan Flaherty was fouled. Flaherty took the spot kick and scored.

Just watched both managers' post-match interviews: Scott quite upbeat and pleased with a point; their manager and player of the match who looked about 12 were also happy with a point.

What Scott said was fair enough. The pitch was appalling but he must have bitten his lip to not mention the ref or the 'disallowed' goal

Yep - Watched the highlights and replayed that disallowed goal countless times and still could not see what was wrong with it.
I thought their goal was a well taken goal, he made it look easy, but kept his cool, of course should never have had the ball in the first place, but that happens.
We are not the only ones who have struggled there, so all in all, and the last four games are giving out positive signs.

Dropping points against lowly teams in the league is better than dropping points to other playoff teams 🤔
