Malpas blasts poor Robins display

Swindon boss Maurice Malpas blasted his players and claimed the crowd should get their money back following their 3-1 defeat to 10-man Leeds.

Whites midfielder Alan Sheehan saw red after just nine minutes of Saturday's League One clash at the County Ground and, despite Simon Cox's equaliser, Jermaine Beckford scored two and Neil Kilkenny's long-range free-kick squirmed in to seal the victory for the visitors.

Malpas said: "There are no excuses because we played really poorly. We had a big crowd in and they must be wondering how can footballers earn so much money and then play as poorly as that.

"I can't take any positive out of the game because we played so badly.

"Leeds are a good team but I expected the team I put out to be able to beat them and I can't believe how poorly we played."

 Swindon 1 - 3 Leeds
