Weekend takeaways as Swindon Town hammer Fleetwood Town
Swindon Town recorded their second biggest league away win of all time as they dispatched with Fleetwood Town 4-0.
Kabongo Tshimanga’s penalty late in the first half set Swindon on their way, before Miguel Freckleton’s finish, an own goal from Rhys Bennett, and Nnamdi Ofoborh’s late finish saw Swindon pick up a big win on the road.
What did we learn about this team as they demolished Fleetwood?
All the work on pressing is beginning to pay off.
One of Ian Holloway’s big bug bears in the last few months, even as the team performed well and won games, has been their understanding of the pressing game that he wants to implement. Things like that take a lot of time to get the timing and cohesion sorted, and the benefits of that were plain to see during this game.
Swindon could have been timid in the face........
