Swindon Town skipper Hasney Aljofree admitted that his side had been lucky to see off Forest Green Rovers 3-2 in the second round of the FA Cup.
A last-gasp Blair Sturrock strike downed the non-leaguers, who had threatened an upset at the County Ground when they took a 2-1 lead in the second half.
Aljofree told The Advertiser: "They came out of the traps in the second half and they were more than a match for us.
"The wind was about 60mph at times and it was backs to the wall for us, but we rolled our sleeves up, got on with it and got the equaliser.
"To be fair they were better for long periods, but we managed to get out of jail and we're in the hat for the next round."
