The Adver's Joe Acklam discusses his thoughts after Swindon Town were held to a 0-0 draw at home against Harrogate Town in League Two.
Having been on the road twice in the last seven days as they travelled to Port Vale and Tranmere Rovers to take one point, Town returned to the Nigel Eady County Ground on Saturday hoping to add to their solitary win so far this season.
With the visit of Harrogate fresh off of a 5-1 shellacking at the hands of Scott Lindsey's Milton Keynes Dons, the visitors set up to frustrate Swindon with their defensive system.
This seemed to upset Town's build-up as play struggled to progress from the back into midfield, leading to them creating few clear chances against the Yorkshire outfit.
Their fifth draw of the campaign left Swindon with a mere eight points from their opening ten games, only the sixth time that the club have picked up less than nine points from their first ten.
After the match, Acklam sat down to discuss the point and the overall quality of the match, as well as attempting to diagnose Town's problem with scoring regular goals which has been an Achilles heel so far this campaign.
