Full time: Swindon 3 Burnley 1

Paolo Di Canio’s Swindon advanced to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup thanks to an impressive victory over npower Championship side Burnley at the County Ground.

First-half goals from Paul Benson and Andy Williams put the League One hosts in the ascendancy and Troy Archibald-Henville sealed matters seven minutes from time after Charlie Austin had given the Clarets hope.

The visitors made the brighter start, with former Robins striker Austin going to closest to opening the scoring when he saw an early header cleared off the line by Swindon left-back Jay McEveley.

But on 19 minutes, McEveley turned provider as the home team took the lead against the run of play, his whipped left-wing cross neatly turned in on the half-volley by Benson.

Burnley continued to dominate possession - with midfielder Chris McCann and Austin both spurning decent opportunities - but it was Swindon who doubled their advantage on 41 minutes.

After a succession of misplaced passes, the ball found its way to Williams, who outpaced the Burnley defence and finished coolly past Brian Jensen.

Austin eventually marked his return to the County Ground with a scrappy tap-in on 75 minutes, but Archibald-Henville’s 83rd-minute header - his first goal for the League One side - secured the win.

So according to burnleyglentoran that wasn't an important game was it? Well in my books it was. Especially as Eddie Howe just recently has been saying that "money is tight and therefore it is highly unlikely that he will go into the loan market". Well may I remind Eddie Howe and other Clarets fans with claret and blue eyes that less than 12 months ago Swindon Town were in the 2nd Division and that the Clarets have missed a glorious chance to progress further tonight and add much needed money to the club's coffers. If we continue in this rich vain of form till January there is one thing for certain; Charlie Austin will be sold by this lack lustre board and chairmen to balance the books again and our manager will still be saying that "he has total confidence in the players at his disposal and that he doesn't need to go out and buy or bring players in on loan. I noticed even Barnsley last week were the subject of a possible take over bid and investment into the club and so it will only be a matter of time before the Clarets are taken over and this no-risk taking board and ex-chairman are shown the door.

No ambition and no hope at this rate the 1st division is beckoning, how is it that blackpool who are in there second season in the championship still have a 40 man squad and a good one at that, and Burnley in there second season after relegation could not get rid of there better players fast enough and are now simply not good enough. The board have leeched all the money from our season in the premiership and lined there own pockets big style. and they think we will pay between £25 and £31 per game not a chance, many many clarets have decided enough is enough and will not go on turf moor again unless things change ie ticket prices and lets not forget the rip off £10 debit card charge for card payments for season tickets was absolutely shamefull ,i know of many ex season ticket holders who did not renew because of this are you reading this kilby/fletcher and co we are pi55ed off what are you gonna do ?

Bristol City, Exeter, Colchester, Huddersfield, Brighton, Wigan, Stoke and now Burnley. 8 teams from higher divisions we have beaten in the past 13 Months in cup competitions. It's always their teams poor performance cited as reason for defeat, NEVER an acceptance that PDC has developed a pretty handy Swindon Town squad / tactics etc. It is about time other fans started to admit that we are actually a pretty good team and it is less of a shock than you might think!

See you next season!

Mr Oyston and family could doubtless give the Burnley Board some sound advice, (see above link).
Blackpool have been through some rough times too, but they seem to have husbanded their financial resources in an exemplary manner, fully utilising promotion and parachute money. Burnley, by comparison appear to have frittered away their millions and now have sweet F.A. to show for it.
The future's bright. The future's orange. It sure ain't Claret and Blue, (sad to say).

Midland Claret says...

In itself as a result disappointing but not overly important. Well done Swindon and Di Canio for getting their tactics right.

If we do not perform against Millwall on Saturday then i will be getting worried.

Have said before agree that to date Blackpool have made a better job of managing finances and running a similar size football club than have the BFC directors.

But then again even they look competent compared to the goings on at Blackburn.

Midas,

My point wasn't specifically directed towards accounting per se, but merely a generalisation as to how a 'poor,' unfashionable club like Blackpool appear better placed, (literally as well as figuratively) than neighbours Burnley.
Either they are doing something right, or we are doing something wrong. If that's not the case, I'd welcome an explanation for the disparity in quality between the two teams re' squad, results, gate and general perception of how the club's run.

McClaret says...

Why was anyone surprised at the Swindon defeat? Fully expected it as they were always going to be up for it more than us. Bob in Spain, with you 100%, can't believe how poor our board have been since the moment Bolton unsettled Coyle.
Still they think we are dumb enough to keep paying without trying to connect with dwindling numbers of supporters so naturally income is falling. This is why Austin will be sold as will any other assett if a decent bid arrives, because put simply they haven't got any intention to try anything else. Poor management equals failure.
