Swindon Town's Scott Lindsey gives his verdict on Carlisle United draw

The visiting head coach felt his team caused United plenty of problems in the 1-1 draw.

But he also conceded Paul Simpson's Blues were difficult opposition in a game played in sweltering heat at Brunton Park.

After Jacob Wakeling's Swindon opener had been wiped out by Kristian Dennis, Lindsey said: "This is a good point on the road. It’s a very difficult place to come.

"Carlisle are a good side and very organised, and we could have won the game with the chances we had.

“I thought we dominated possession at times throughout the game and we created some really good opportunities, so I’m pleased.

“We got in some good areas and caused them problems. I was pleased with the players' application and desire.”

Wakeling scored Swindon's first goal of the season in their fourth outing in league and cup.

But United then broke to equalise with Dennis's fourth in four games.

“Of course I’m disappointed with the goal we conceded," Lindsey told his club's website.

"We did lose control of the ball cheaply at times, meaning we had to recover and defend and we didn’t do this well enough at times, but it’s something we’ll look at in training moving forward.”

“I was pleased with the first half as we dominated in spells and took control of the game at key moments. We conceded a disappointing goal at a bad time, but we didn’t let it affect us for the second period.

“We know we need to defend more diligently at times, but we spoke about this at the interval and the players took this on board.

"We looked a little anxious and the tie turned into a basketball match at times.

“We need to take charge of games more I feel and we can be too open in stages, but this is something we’ll continue to work hard on and improve.”
