It was another disappointing Saturday for Swindon Town as visitors Charlton Athletic snatched a dramatic late leveller to earn a share of the spoils.Since thumping Leeds United 3-0 last Tuesday, Town have dropped points in their last two league outings courtesy of last minute goals.
As a reporter on the club's official website here is my latest match report:

After Kevin Amankwaah (pictured) turned in his third goal of the season, things seemed to be looking rosy for the home side. However, we've seen it one too many times this season at the County Ground: the last minute switching off that leads to a late goal.
It's not only been confined to home matches either. Charlton's 9 men found a late goal in the meeting between the two sides on Boxing Day. Added to games like Southend last weekend and at Oldham way back in August, Danny Wilson's men have dropped points far too many times this season.
You can't help but feel that had the Town held on to record those points then, coupled with the current points tally, they would have been edging towards the summit of League One rather than sitting pretty in the play-off positions.
Tuesday's fixture against the afore-mentioned Oldham Athletic really must yield three points in order to keep the nearest challengers at arms length.
