Huddersfield came away with a performance and a result that was fully deserved, and inflicted more misery on Swindon Town.
Swindon never really got out of the blocks, and were punished early on by Dickinson’s early strike.
This settled Huddersfield down and they looked set to increase the lead but the game took an incredible turn.
Jim Goodwin gave away a Penalty in the 26th minute, which was taken by Swindon top scorer Simon Cox, and brilliantly saved by Matt Glennon down to his right.
Glennon then had a moment of brilliance as he released the ball immediately to the twinkle toes of Gary Roberts.
Roberts raced down the other end of the pitch and sent a superb volley into the back of the Swindon net! Make sure you catch the crazy minute on the replays!
Town never really looked threatened after that and when Mike Flynn, blasted another beautiful effort, in the 69th minute into the top corner Town were coasting to the three points.
Swindon did get a consolation goal through Easton in the 88th minute, which made my match prediction absolutely spot on! Mystic24!
Huddersfield made Swindon look very poor today and we must now carry this form into the home game vs Bristol Rovers next Saturday at The Galpharm!
Enjoy your celebratory drinks everyone!

Booed off along with his players at half and full time – Oh dear!
goodwin didn’t give the penalty away. it was butler so i think you should change it. as he didn’t do anything wrong
Did we save your managers job today – you were definately the better of two struggling sides.
Could I add or correct – we are not booing the players its our manager its aimed at………… by the by, the sight of your manager in those blue shorts was a sight for sore eyes and the other guy should consider different attire to.
You deserved the points today – but I would be careful of thinking you are better than you really are, good luck though.
Booo Boooo .. Oh sorry we won again…Eh i mean Stan STAN..STANNN…
Don’t you mean blooo bloooo – the colour of Stan’s XXXL shorts
No…!
we dont think were better, we know we are ****e at the moment but we have a squad of new players and at the end of the season we will be in the mix. stfc, I hope you come back up next season cos u seem a good set of lads and you will find league 2 difficult.
Hmm….er….um … well time will tell … good luck till we meet again, over and out ! Beam me up Scotty ………
I WAS SPOT ON WITH MY MATCH PREDICTION!
Swindon were awful, but thats because we made them look like that as we were very good. We must kick on from here and keep winning, You can only beat what is put in front of you and We did just that! UTT
Was wondering about Mr Glennon having had a “wake up call” too 24…
Boooing………why boooing…was Ashley Cole there ????
agree with the ratings, maybe add some 9’s in there! 3-1 wasnt really a fair reflection, we were dominating until the last 10 mins where we relaxed and called it a day.pity, couldve fixed the GD, ps, jevo was a 7, if we’re sticking by “6) Better than average, but in patches only, 7) Good, generally decent performance”
