INTERIM manager Anthony Limbrick heaped praise on rampant leaders Swindon after they swept aside his Grimsby Town side.
Goals from the division’s top scorer Eoin Doyle and Jerry Yates, inside the opening 25 minutes, put the Robins in full control at Blundell Park. Yates added his second and Swindon’s third shortly after half-time and there was no way back for the struggling home side.
Limbrick, who has taken charge of four games since the departure of Michael Jolley, said: “It certainly was a tough afternoon. Fair play to Swindon. They are an excellent side.
“We highlighted their strengths before the game and they really delivered them today. One goal came on the counter-attack and they passed the ball well.
“Their midfield three probably dominated our midfield three.
“We had a game-plan, but we were unable to execute it. We were desperately unlucky with the first two goals. One was a deflection and one was a mistake by the keeper, where I think he slipped over. I was amazed that it went in.
