Adver Sport hand out their verdict follow Swindon Town's 1-0 defeat at home to Grimsby Town.  

Reice Charles-Cook – 6

Hardly had a save to make throughout the game, yet finds himself on the losing side this afternoon.

Kyle Knoyle – 5.5

Did well in patches, but if you compare him to Hussey on the opposite flank, he did not get forward enough.

Ryan McGivern – 6 Was punished by the referee and gave away a penalty. Distributed well enough, but could have looked forward more often.

Joe Romanski – 7

Looked comfortable enough at the back for Town and didn’t seem phased by the experienced of his debut.

Chris Hussey - 6.5

Busy as always forwards and backwards, faded towards the end of the second half but remained an outlet for his teammates.

James Dunne – 6 Another one who was good in the first half as Swindon looked the better side, but struggled to get a foot on the ball in the second. Subbed.

Amine Linganzi -6 Had a good work rate throughout the game. Was guilty of being wasteful at times as an over eagerness saw him run into trouble.

Keshi Anderson – 6

Showed glimpses. But will be disappointed that he didn’t really cause a direct threat on goal. Subbed.

Matthew Taylor -6

Another one who was under par. Ended up playing all over the place in a bid to get involved in the game.

Marc Richards - 7

Had one shot which crashed against the bar, and contested everything that was thrown up to him at the County Ground.

Paul Mullin – 6

Got the ball in the back of the net, but was chalked off due to handball. Subbed.

Substitutions:

Ollie Banks (On for Dunne 55’) – 6

Got on the ball plenty of times in deep areas and looked to pass it forward but couldn’t quite have the impact he was brought on for.

Donal McDermott – 5

Threw himself into some reckless challenges and gave away needless fouls.

Scott Twine – 6

Tried hard but wasn’t able to cause too many problems as he was out muscled by the visiting defence.
