As events have moved forward Wednesday off the pitch, Tuesday's match on it has seemed to be in the far, distance past, not less than24 hours.
Blues boss Paul Sturrock, the former Robins boss, must take some responsibilty for what went on, even in the display of keeper Glenn Morris, he sent Luke Daniels back to West Brom.
He made four changes, new signing Pat Baldwin made his debut for the injured Mark Phillips while Ryan Hall was recalled on the right wing, no problem with either of those.
The problem was left-winger David Martin dropping to the bench, moving the best central midfielder Michael Timlin out wide in his place.
This meant Kane Ferdinand got the central gig and Jean-Paul Kalala, who had passed a late fitness test on a hamstring problem, played in his usual defensive position in front of the back four, again, OK with the latter.
Finally, the teenage giant Jack Sampson was selected over our fox in the box Elliot Benyon, also made a sub for the night.
So that's twice now Luggy has changed a side around to counter Swindon's attacking options with a more defensive unit, Luke Prosser anyone, and both times he's got it wrong.
With their best central defender out and Alan McCormack not the tallest at the back, the moaning about direct football would have been unjustified, I could have done with more hoofing to the giant pair of Dickinson & Sampson, the Bolton loanee looking very promising indeed, but for that you need accurate crosses from the wing.
Crosses that Martin & Hall could have brought if being found in space by Timlin and Kalal breaking out.
If things are going wrong Bilel Mohsni could have been added to the central front two, but it was too late chasing the game three behind, though he did his best.
I will keep the image of him collapsing to the ground when Swindon grabbed their fourth, minutes before he had almost single handed brought the home side back into the game they had no right to be.
Luggy can't be blamed for costly defensive mistakes on the night, though not bringing in a centre-back earlier when it was obvious skipper Chris Barker was struggling after injury could be looked upon as an error in judgement.
And it certainly was the defense that was caught cold in that opening first quarter from hell for the Essex boys!
They just couldn't cope with the speed and movemnet of the Swindon attack, poor old Balders, only a handful of senior games all season, welcome back Pat!
I'd never seen Paul Benson live, wondered if there was a bit of hype about him, Charlie's boy, lots of goals in the lower tiers, but now 32.
Any hype is justified, he's bloody good, and there he was playing for White Ensign, a team I used to watch along with one man and a dog at Chalkwell Park 40 years ago, even had a reserve game or two for us, but his overall play as the leader of the line was excellent, Liam watch and learn.
Nine minutes gone and the S24 player-to-watch Matt Ritchie struck, a super Ronan Murray 20-yarder hit the post and I thought we had got away with it, but keeper Morris decided to show far too much of the net at his near post, and Ritchie found the back of it.
Seven minutes later, two down, a cross by Ritchie from his own short corner, Joe Devera headed the ball down to Jonathan Smith who said thanks very much, and scored from close range.
Macca, unsurprisingly, picked up a yellow for blocking Timlin as he tried to set up a shooting position, the resulting free-kick from Dickinson from around 15 yards was easily dealt with.
Timlin and Dickinson, again, tried their luck from distance, as did Jean-Paul Kalala, the difference was the latter put the Shrimpers on the scoresheet with his first goal since December 2009 for Yeovil!
34th minutes gone, the ball falls to Kalala to strike a vicious low volley from 25 yards that hits the inside of the left post, and for a horrible moment looked as if it would come back out, Robins keeper Foderingham reacting slowly, but in the end it did the decent thing and crossed the line.
There are usually moments in any match that one side has been beaten soundly when they have an opportunity to get back in the game.
Southend had two, this was the first, they blew it.
Benson lost his marker with such ease it was comical. Totally unmarked, he probably didn't realise how much time he had, the former Daggers hitman tried an overhead kick, and saw the ball tipped over the crossbar brilliantly by Morris, his oustanding moment in a night the custodian will want to forget.
The let-off lasted a moment, as from the resulting Ritchie corner saw Joe Devera head home from six yards with the Shrimpers defence all over the place.
After the break, the second chance, and this time they were unlucky.
Bilel Mohsni ahd to be brought on, and was, going out to the right, replacing a poor Kane Ferdinand.
Ryan Hall went left, and Timmo, hurrah, into the central midfield, where the ex-Robin should have started.
Straight way the old firm of a Hall cross and a Mohsni header so nearly did the business once again, up went the Shrimpers faithful, to soon sit down again as Swindon striker Murray cleared off the line.
For the first, and only time, Southend were on top, a second goal here could have made for an interesting finish, and Bilel again tried his best with a stunning piece of improvisation, seeing Foderingham off his line he tried to shoot over him from 40 yards, the Swindon keeper doing well, where was little Darryl when you needed him.
This was followed up by Jack Sampson strike just wide of the right post from the edge of the 12-yard box; the drum was beating, the crowd were singing, it was game on.
Until 55 minutes, and this time the error by Morris was to end the game as a competitive contest.
A right wing cross from, who else, Ritchie, was poorly pushed out right to the feet of substitute Billy Bodin to find back of the net from six yards and grab his first Swindon goal after ten appearances.
And that was that really, Martin looked good after being brought on for Dickinson on 62 minutes allowing Bilel to move in the centre but it really was too little too late for Luggy.
Moreover, Swindon knew they had done enough, and so did their hosts, who last let in four at home against Birmingham City in December 2006, I was there at that one as well!
While the victorious Robins completed a hat-trick of wins against Southend.
Luggy was right about something, it was only three points lost, and we could go on a good run after this, but with the aggro building up again behind the scenes and only five points seperating the top six, the play-offs could be the future, and that is a lottery we would dearly love to avoid.
A win at second-from-bottom Plymouth at the weekend would return some much needed confidence to players and supporters alike.
