Southampton v Swindon

Southampton 2-2 Swindon - Coca-Cola League 1.

Wednesday, 27th January, 2010

Attendance - 15,041

This is a key match for both team's promotion hopes this Season! Southampton currently sitting in 8th place and just 3 points seperating them from a play-off place. Swindon are just behind The Saints as they occupy 9th place and are 6 points off a play-off place going into today's match!

Last time the two clubs met at the start of the Season Swindon were deserved 4-2 winners. Saints will be out for revenge!

Starting Line-ups:

The goals...

The first of the goals today went to the home side. Morgan Schneiderlin once again producing an amazing through ball, cutting the Swindon defence in half as Marek Saganowski was there to blast it in! 1-0 to The Saints.

Southampton go into the break with a well-deserved halftime lead at St. Mary's
Stadium.

Half Time

Jones makes a half-time switch as Striker Nathan Tyson replaces David Connolly.

Second of the game take from Swindon as Albrighton delivered a decent corner and found a poorly marked  Greer to head home to the disappointment of Saints Manager Jones.

Then, Southampton got their noses infront once again, and the goal was nearly the exact same one as Saints' first. Morgan Schneiderlin putting in another wonderful through-ball which was met by experienced poacher Saganowski who was only too happy to finish. 2-1 to Southampton.

Swindon's late equaliser came about then Southampton's Oscar Gobern didn't intercept a lofted cross into the area which Swindon's Cody Mcdonald got onto and scored. 2-2.

What this does to the League Table...

I am disappointed with this result because we so nearly won it, and now we are  5 points off a play-off spot.
