The new youth boss made changes to his line-up, but was disappointed with what was on show against The Cherries.

"We were disappointed with the end result, but the game did give us an opportunity to make a few team changes," said Bodin.

"We left five of our more experienced youth teamers, who had played for the reserves in midweek, out of the side. This presented some of our first years a chance to impress so the likes of Callum Willmoth, Nathan Thompson and Danny Wallington all featured."

Bodin continued: "They hadn't played a lot of football so it was a chance for them to get ninety minutes under their belt. The commitment and application was good, but unfortunately the final quality wasn't there."

Swindon also had midfielder Kurt Hammonds sent off. The Under 16's and Under 18's both host Oxford United at the training ground on Saturday 16th February, 11am Kick-Off.
