IT’S JUST LIKE THE MOVIES!

SWINDON continue to live out a season fit for the silver screen after leaving it late to nick what could prove to be a valuable point in the race for promotion.

The Robins were all over the place in the

Millwall looked to be on course for a sixth win in nine outings – form that has seen them nestle comfortabl­y inside the play-off places – but missed out on the chance to strengthen their grip on fifth spot, despite bossing large parts of the game in front of their travelling faithful.

Gregory latched onto a long ball before finishing with aplomb beyond Lawrence Vigouroux in the sixth minute.

And it took just five minutes for the Lions to double their advantage after former Wales internatio­nal Morison punished more woeful defending by the hosts.

But they were forced to defend for large parts of the second half and failed to protect their lead, much to early stages and deserved to trail by two goals heading in at the break, while an impressive Millwall outfit were in the delight of Swindon boss Luke Williams.

“Over the course of the 90 minutes I think we were worth a point,” he said.

“It was frustratin­g to start slow and a bit hesitant at the beginning, and we thought not having a game last weekend would be a problem.

“They are a very good side as well but it was pleasing the way the boys came out with tempo in the second half to try and keep going at Millwall over and over and keep trying to create a chance to score.

“If you want to win lots of games then you need to be able to win all different types.

“You have to be able to come from behind and you have to be able to go in-front and keep in front. cruise control and good value for their lead.

However, Swindon are one of the best when it comes to dealing with adversity and they showed true grit in the second-half, leading to a frantic finish.

“I would prefer a few more where we go in front and stay in front, but at the moment they are showing tremendous character to come back.

“It is all on the players.We can try to help them with ideas of how to break down teams with different strengths, but it is all on the players.

“The players on the pitch have got to be able to see things live and react to it on the pitch and that’s what they’ve done again.” 1 month = £2.99, 3 months = £7.99, 6 months = £13.99, Annual = £23.99 Subscribe on our website www.racingahea­d.net
