@billyowner1: Good win, definitely need to get players in before Tuesday now

@djhorsy: Think the score line papered over a lot of cracks today. Struggling to string 2 passes together in that second half.

@Natzoe98: Decent game, we were better on the attacking front first half, defended well second and were looking to hit them on break. Hope TJJ is okay and injury not to serious. DRFC

@Donnybarmyarmy: Back four very solid. Taylor Richards did well especially in the first half, Okenabirhie very good, TJJ worked hard. James dependable as ever. Need more from Lokilo and Simoes IMO. Injuries and suspensions coming at the wrong time and have to consider that against WH next week

@theoverrover: Good performance but why do we always seem to concede late on meaning a nervy final 10 minutes.

@JMickAndrews: I didn't think the starting eleven would have enough steel. This explains why I am not a manager. Two well worked goals and solid performances all over the field. Look forward to retaining our best players sooner rather than later.

@kitchdrfc96: Decent first half, but sloppy in the 2nd, we all can see we need a few additions to our squad, in the midfield and forward areas, up the reds

@StevenJ96459277: Enjoyed the game performance was good

@superryandunphy: Taylor’s range of passing in a deeper role was impressive. Probably harder at the end than it needed to be but it’s a good 3 points!

@Wowzaz7: Looked solid, not really troubled by Swindon apart from a lucky deflection, Taylor-Richards looked good in the deep playmaker role, onwards and upwards
