Town manager Mark Cooper bemoaned his players 'bad decisions' after seeing bottom basement Stevenage humble his play-off chasing side.

  

"We have had two games and performed to a decent level, but we didn’t tonight," a candid Cooper admitted.

 

"We conceded a sloppy goal but maybe that’s the way it has to be this season.

 

"Away from home we have to do the ugly side of the game but we have struggled with that." 

 

Town again posed little attacking threat as the home-side showed a far great hunger for possession and the points.

 

Even Nile Ranger upfront failed to build on his positive performance on Saturday or the the second-half introduction of Dany N'Guessan provided an inspiration, as Swindon's lacklustre all-round approach meant Stevenage were two-nil up and with the game wrapped up with half-an-hour still to go.

 

Town fall to 9th.
