Holloway rubbishes Swindon Town display in defeat at Morecambe

Boss Ian Holloway pulled no punches following his team’s 1-0 defeat at Morecambe, labelling it: “The biggest pile of rubbish I have seen in a long time.”

The 62-year-old, who this week revealed he had agreed a new three-year deal with the club, saw his side fall to Lee Angol 38^th-minute goal.

Defeat to the struggling Shrimps meant Town are winless in five games and sit 15^th in League Two.

Assessing the defeat, Holloway said: "We didn't deserve anything today.

"I look like I am lucky to get one (a new contract) after today, I don't want to talk about a vision when I have just seen the biggest pile of rubbish I have seen in a long time.

"They didn't play much better than us, let's be brutally honest, but they were men about it, and all we needed to do was win that challenge.

"If it was 0-0, then I would have had to take it, but we have lost that game, and that is not good enough.

"I am going to have a battle on my hands if that is how they think I want us to play, messing around with it and trying to look good.

"Then with three minutes left, we are passing it around at the back. What are we doing?

"I had the desire, and I have always had the desire to win games, and I have no idea why they didn't, so I will be asking them that on Monday."

Next up for Town is a home clash against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday (7.45pm).
