45' Swindon win a free-kick on the edge of the box as Twine is fouled.

0-1

45' There will be two minutes of added time.

0-1

38' This game has kind of peetered out into nothing so far. Swindon are adamant into trying to play long balls up to Pitman which are having little effect, whilst Northampton seem to be lacking ideas when in Swindon's half.

0-1

33' Payne does well to win possession on the halfway line, he plays a sideways pass to Twine who has time to set himself on the edge of the box before shooting just wide.

0-1

30' Northampton had been the better side during the opening exchanges and you have to say that their goal was coming. Poor defensive clearances saw Swindon put pressure on themselves and eventually the ball fell to Watson who dribbled well before producing a strong finish.

0-1

26' GOAL NORTHAMPTON

Watson dances inside the box before firing low past Matthews.

0-1

24' Northampton Substitution:

Off - Sheehan

On - Horsfall

0-0

18' Twine lobs a ball over to Palmer on the right-wing who takes his time before placing a cross into the box, which Broadbent meets with his head but puts narrowly over the bar.

0-0

15' Caddis does well with little support to get a cross in from the Northampton byline but a lack of bodies in the box see's Mitchell collect easily.

0-0

14' Northampton break down Swindon's left, Sam Hoskins finds space on the wing but blasts his cross behind the goal.

0-0

12' Quite an erratic match unfolding at the County Ground with both side's seemingly unable to string more than a couple of passes together.

0-0

10' Conroy gives the ball away inside his own half but fortunately Miller can't control the ball and runs it out of play for a Swindon goal-kick.

0-0

5' Northampton get their first corner of the match as Thompson puts the ball behind. Miller puts a deep cross into the box. Matthews gets a touch and Northampton have another corner that comes to nothing.

0-0

1' Pitman tries a dink over the top into the path of Garrick but the keeper rushes out to collect.

So let's take a look at how the two sides line-up coming into today's fixture.

A sunny day at the County Ground gives Swindon a great chance to make it three games unbeaten for the first time this season following a home victory over Crewe last weekend and a mid-week draw against top of the table Lincoln City.

In contrast, Northampton Town have failed to pick up a win this calendar year, scoring just four goals during that time.
