SATURDAY: Wanderers suffer last minute heartbreak as they go down to a 1-0 home defeat to Queens Park Rangers. Daniel Dichio's 90th minute header left Wanderers with nothing from an encouraging performance.

ROY McFarland admits he wouldn't mind seeing his side play badly and win in the wake of the QPR injustice when they performed admirably and got nothing.

SWINDON reveal that Wanderers had made an offer for striker Peter Thorn which they had turned down. But Town boss Steve McMahon says if the Burnden Park club return with an increased bid he may have to consider it.

On the field, a 3-2 victory at Brentford takes Wanderers through to the third round of the Coca-Cola Cup.

ALL the signs from Burnden Park were that Wanderers - who had made definite enquiries for Nottingham Forest's Scot Gemmill and Dundee United's Billy McKinlay - were getting ready to spend again to strengthen their Premiership squad.

THE draw for the third round of the Coca-Cola Cup is kind as Wanderers get First Division Leicester City at home.

RESERVE striker Owen Coyle turned down the chance to move back to his native Scotland with Dundee United. The clubs agreed a fee of around £500,000 but Coyle could not settle personal terms. Meanwhile, record signing Gerry Taggart is facing disciplinary action after his dismissal in a reserve game.
