Match report: Swindon 1 - 3 Town

Oct 13 2008 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

MATT GLENNON went from goal saver to goal maker to help Town put Swindon to the sword.

This victory will be remembered by visiting fans for spectacular strikes by Gary Roberts and Michael Flynn.

But make no mistake – Glennon’s contribution was just as crucial.

Not only did the 30-year-old pull off a 26th-minute penalty save to prevent Simon Cox cancelling out Liam Dickinson’s sixth-minute opener.

But spotting so many Swindon players out of position, the quick-thinking keeper then launched a mighty downfield punt which bounced perfectly for Roberts to lash home a left-footed fifth goal of the season which left the home side shattered.

Under-pressure Maurice Malpas’s side went into this game trying to avoid a fourth successive home defeat in League I and a fifth in all competitions.
