A lacklustre performance from Swindon saw them slump to a 2-1 defeat to Lydney.

The hosts, who have yet to win at home this term, dominated the opening exchanges, limiting Lydney to a handful of opportunities on the break.

The opening goal came from some excellent team play.

Jim Towers picked up the ball in midfield, held onto it, before playing the ball forward to Luke Cejer.

A series of passes between Cejer, CP and Phil Scarisbrick led to an easy chance for Parsons, who finished clinically.

Despite their dominance, Swindon were made to pay for some sloppy short corner defending, as Lydney worked the ball well for a tap-in on the back post.

The second half saw a change in personnel, with Swindon continuing to create good chances that went unconverted.

Halfway through the second half, Parsons gave the ball up to former Swindon stalwart Jake Biddle, who drove into the circle and finished emphatically.

Swindon worked hard to get back into the game, creating several clear opportunities, however, a lack of quality meant the Lydney keeper spent much of the second half watching.

This weekend Swindon welcome Swansea looking to complete the double over the Welsh side after defeating them 2-0 earlier in the campaign.
