1-0 Rovers. Lovely ball from Norwood to Jennings, slid it across the box, Smith taps in at the far post.

2-1 HT.
I'm convinced Rovers would have gone on to win this comfortably if Harris had kept his feet on the floor. They were looking excellent with 11 men and were in complete control. Having said that, since Swindon scored, we have actually been excellent at retaining the ball, wasting a bit of time and actually have had the better chances since.

It's going to be a tough ask for the next 45 minutes though.

It sounds as though the Harris Red was nailed on? Have to get Jay Devine back from wherever he’s out on loan as no midfielders left.

It was a clear red. Swindon player overreacted but still..

Hmm, Swindon lining up taking shots here. Not looking good.

Gutted if we lose this. 3 points thrown away because of Harris who has done this before. We can’t afford him losing his head at this level.

Without the red card it was a certain Rovers victory. Absolutely gutted.

A win was just what we needed ahead of a tough game on Tuesday night.

The thing is, I don't even know why he would attempt that tackle. We were cruising at 2-0, comfortably. Makes no sense.

Let’s face it Ian. It’s about the 11th sending off in his career. It’s in his DNA and he can’t change now at his age. People on FB going mad talking about a fine but a leopard can’t change its spots.
