73' Alex Pattison finishes off a Harrogate passage of play with a shot from the edge of the box that is well saved by Wollacott as he manages to keep hold of the ball. Swindon then break up the other end and their move ends with Kesler-Hayden pulling his shot wide.
0-1
68' Iandolo's cross is driven across the face of the Harrogate goal. The ball manages to work it's way through a crowd of players but Simpson can't react quick enough and eventually the visitors clear.
0-1
66' The resulting free-kick is wasted as Louis Reed's ball into the box is easily cleared by the Harrogate defenders.

65' Harrogate Captain Josh Falkingham is shown a yellow card for bringing down Kesler-Hayden on the right-wing.

0-1
54' Jack Payne lifts the spirits in the County Ground with a brilliant run as he skips past two defenders to work his way into the Harrogate box, nutmegging one of them before shooting towards goal with his effort blocked. Better from Swindon.

HALF-TIME: Swindon Town 0-1 Harrogate Town
45' There will; be 2 minutes of added time.
0-1
43' Payne puts a corner into the box and it is easily cleared. Swindon then try to recycle the ball but just look short of ideas at this point.
0-1
40' The past 10 minutes have been awful from Swindon and this has been the worst first-half I have seen from Ben garner's side this season. Swindon are adamant in playing the ball around defence before then just booting a hopeful ball up to Simpson that continually fails to test the Harrogate defenders. Ben Garner is losing his head down the dugout and Swindon need to wake up for the second-half if they want to get anything out of this.
0-1
30' Swindon get a corner and Payne whips it to the edge of the box where Reed shoots first time but watches on as his effort is blocked.
0-0
25' That goal was just too easy. A ball over the top and Kesler-Hayden is outmuscled before Diamond nutmegs Wollacott. I hate to say it but Swindon have been poor and deserve to be behind.
0-1
23' GOAL HARROGATE
Jack Diamond breaks through on goal and pokes the ball past the oncoming Wollacott.
0-1
22' It's better play from Swindon as Payne works his way into the box from the left and fizzes a ball across the face of goal that is defended well as Harrogate clear their lines.
0-0
21' Apologies for the lack of updates. The internet seemingly didn't want to work and we were unable to get back online. Don't worry though you didn't miss much.
0-0
11' Luke Armstrong heads just wide after getting a good connection on a cross. Swindon are shaken in this game so far.

8' Lloyd Kerry smashes an effort on target from 25 yards out that forces a diving save to his right from Wollacott.
0-0
6' Risky play from Swindon as Ben Gladwin first gives the ball away in midfield with Jack Diamond breaking on goal. Gladwin gets back and wins the ball back for Swindon but moments later Dion Conroy tries to hold off Diamond inside the Swindon box. He wants Wollacott to come and get it but he doesn't and Diamond manages to get a toe on the ball that has to be cleared off the line by Hunt.
0-0

KICK-OFF: Harrogate get us underway.
0-0
The players are out and we are almost ready to get underway.
So we are nearly ready for the players to make their entrance into a windy, cold County Ground. There will be a minutes applause in honour of Swindon Town legend Frank Burrows following his passing earlier in the week.
Swindon Town gaffer Ben Garner has made a bold decision to leave out Harry McKirdy with the adaptable attacker relegated to the bench in place of Ben Gladwin. Rob Hunt keeps his place in defence but Romoney Crichlow makes the bench after recovering from injury.
