Swindon Town drew 1-1 with Walsall Swindon Town/screengrab/YouTube

In the circumstances, a point against Walsall is respectable; the problem is the circumstances aren't respectable at all

ANALYSIS: There was huff, there was puff, and there was just about enough to get a point, but Swindon relied on a fair bit of good fortune, provided primarily by referee Alex Chilowicz. And while they were much more entertaining going forward, the lack of incision in the final third was again strikingly evident.
