City remain unbeaten pre-season and will be relatively happy that a mix of mainly youth and experience possibly featuring no more than 2 players - if that - like to start Championship action in 12 days as they fought back to gain a 1-1 draw at Swindon who fielded their first team.
City's squad players used included Paul Parry, Enckleman, Purse, Dennehy, Blake, Comminges (playing against his former club), Scimeca and Brown with the rest made up of Academy boys.
Perhaps it was no surprise that Swindon had a strong first half and a deserved lead after several attempts on goal while City only mustered two Paul Parry efforts.
Swindon's goal came just after the half-hour as Lee Peacock met a through ball and squeezed his shot home despite Purse trying to keep the ball out.
However Paul Parry equalised within 3 minutes of the restart with a simple goal and simple finish as he latched onto a pass and finished comfortably.
The rest of the game was rather non-eventful. Half-chances at both ends but nothing to excite greatly - the closest being Swindon denied a penalty shout while Dennehy fired over for City after a goalmouth scramble.
City's next and final pre-season friednly is Friday evening when they entertain Dutch masters, Ajax. They will also be sure to feature all those absent tonight.
