Swindon 0 Brighton 2 

Town humbled in Wilson's first game in charge

 

Tough start: Danny Wilson

Danny Wilson will be under no illusions as to the task ahead of him after this woeful defeat.

 

The new manager watched on in his first full game in charge as Brighton exploited Swindon's continued inability to defend to ease to a comfortable win - and leapfrog their opponents at the bottom of League One.

 

Town's brightest spell coming during the first-half before the visitors sealed the game either side of the break.

 

Forster grabbing a brace; the first a beautifully taken effort set up by a nutmeg of Jerel Ifil, the second from the spot after Stuart Fleetwood was blatantly impeded in the box.

 

"We showed glimpses out there of what's possible with this team," Wilson explained afterwards.

 

"Thankfully, I've now got some time to work with the players before our next game."
