RESULT: Millwall 1 Swindon Town 1

Town scorer: Paynter 43 
Millwall scorer: Henry 90 

 

Just what is it with Town and late goals this season? Tonight makes it 13 conceded in the last ten minutes.

 

A question, no doubt, that Swindon manager Danny Wilson would like a swift answer to after seeing his side lose valuable points for the second game in succession.

 

Add that to the string of disappointing endings that Town fans have had to bear over recent months and it's no wonder the Robins still lie perilously above the relegation zone.

 

The damage done this time in the 90th minute when James Henry hit a thunderbolt past Peter Brezovan.

 

A goal, even more disappointingly, that Millwall hardly deserved after yet another super-solid performance from the Town back four and midfield.

 

A defensive display that looked to have given Swindon all the points after Billy Paynter headed Town in front just two minutes before the break.

 

But despite their fair share of possession and a frustrating night for the home side, Town ultimately succumbed.

 

The point moves Town up a place to 19th.
