- 82' It looks surprising Swindon Town FC does not make any changes. Archie Matthews has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 87' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- Another three points for Swindon Town FC.
