Two away games in a row for Swindon, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus Crewe Alexandra in the League One. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Oxford United.
A huge disappointment for Swindon in their last match (vs Crewe Alexandra). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-4 defeat. As you can tell from the result, the match against Crewe Alexandra was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? It's a bit worrying for Swindon that their goalkeeper Matej Kovar made eight saves in the Crewe Alexandra game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
