4:24PM

50' Much like the first-half, Swindon have started by attacking down the right-wing as Garrick and Caddis combine to create space as the latter puts a low cross into the box that Gretarsson has to deal with.

27' Jerry Yates attempts a shot from the edge of the box and wins a corner. Kaikai pits a good corner into the box but Swindon clear well.

0-0

3:27PM

25' This game seems to have gone a bit dead with neither side looking likely of scoring as things stand. Swindon look a lot more confident than they did in their last game against Gillingham and will fancy themselves in this one the longer the game stays goalless.

17' Dougall picks up a yellow card for a nasty challenge on Payne on the halfway line.

0-0

3:17PM

0-0

3:13PM

11' Embleton puts a cross into the Swindon box from the right-wing but Simms is unable to get a head on it as the ball goes out for a goal-kick.
