8:13PM

29' There isn't much to update on as things stand. Swindon are lacking energy and just look well off the pace with no urgency to their game. They haven't played for 18 days but that rest period appears to have done more damage than good with Stevenage comfortable in this game as things stand.

So without further ado, let us take a look at how the team's line up for this League Two fixture...
