“Today we were able to dominate and I was really pleased at times with what we were able to do defensively. Swindon made the game very tough for us and we had to work hard for the win. The second game was much less of a battle and It’s often tough to play in games where you win so convincingly and to stay focused is really quite difficult. In spells we did everything really well but equally at other times we switched off and this let our performance down a little. This team is extremely talented and to win in such fashion shows why the team are top of the table. We will have much tougher games to come and will need to make sure we are prepared for these.” Quotes Danny James Head Coach.
