Swindon Town

SIMON Ferry feels that Town let three points slip away from them on Saturday against Scunthorpe.

Swindon had taken the lead before being reduced to ten men and the Scotsman believes that the red card had a big impact on the eventual outcome.

“We went 1-0 up and had a few more chances but I think the sending off changes the game,” he said. “They came at us a bit more and the boys started to tire but even though we were down to ten they weren’t creating too many chances.

“We still had a few on the counter attack that I think we should have taken and we’re looking at it as two points dropped to be honest.“

Despite creating chances, Ferry says that there is no excuse for not winning a match at home against opponents in the relegation zone.

He continued: “The boys dug in really hard but it’s never easy with ten men. We kept going, got men behind the ball and played on the counter attack and I think that worked.

“We had two or three chances that went just past the post and one that Gary Roberts put over the bar so I think the boys were a bit unlucky but we should be winning games like this.”
