19' Ground brings down Russell on the edge of the Swindon box. Dangerous position.
0-1
12' Swindon trying to get back into this game with Matt Smith and A Grant enjoy the ball in the middle of the park. There does seem to be a large gap between midfield and attack however which is stifling chances for Swindon. 0-1
That was the worst possible start for Swindon and a moment that Fryer will be hoping he can make amends for.
0-1
6' OWN GOAL
Joel Fryer miss kicks as Odimayo passes back to him. He slips and the ball dribbles into the net.
0-1
3' Accrington flash a ball across the face of Swindon's goal but no one can get a touch on it. Charles puts a cross back into the box but Swindon clear. 0-0
Early suggestions here show that Joel Grant is preferred through the middle in place of Hope, who has been shipped out to the left-wing position.
