MATCHDAY LIVE: Swindon Town v Crawley Town

FULL-TIME: Swindon 6 Crawley 0

GOAL! Swindon 6 (Shade 90+8) Crawley 0

90- Forster with a big chance to score as he does well to turn in the box, but fires straight at Mahoney. 5-0.

90- Eight minutes of stoppage time, penny for Lindsey's thoughts at having to play those. 5-0.

88- I am rather busy editing stuff, but Shade just missed a one-on-one when he had all the time in the world to think about it. Shot straight at Addai. 5-0.

86- Shade capitalises on some sloppy defending to get in and has a shot, which Addai saves. 5-0.

84- Good save from Mahoney as Forster created space for himself on the edge of the area and struck well across goal. 5-0.

80- OFF: Austin, Blake-Tracy, Kemp

ON: Wakeling, Minturn, Shade

5-0.

74- OFF: Orsi, Henry

ON: Simon-Swyer, Grant

73- Jake Young, warra man. 5-0.

73- OFF: Khan, Young

ON: Kinsella, Hepburn-Murphy

5-0

71- Tariq Uwakwe hangs up a great cross to the back post, where that man Jake Young gets up and slams in a header at the far post. Swindon are purring. 5-0.

GOAL. Swindon 5 (Young 71') Crawley 0

69- You would presume this to be the case, but I have just verified that that was Jake Young's first career hat-trick. 4-0.

65- Crawley got Tsaroulla down the side and he pulled back to Darcy. The former-Town man looked to hit the shot first time, but it flew well wide. 4-0.

63- Kemp continuing to threaten as he found space on the edge of the box and shot low, forcing Addai into a good save. 4-0.

60- More magic from Kemp to tee him up. Kemp feinted to get away from his marker on the by-line and rolled the ball across goal to Young to tap in his hat-trick. 4-0.

GOAL! Swindon 4 (Young 60') Crawley 0

58- OFF: Campbell, Lolos

ON: Roles, Forster

3-0

58- Crawley are beginning to try and assert themselves after being shellshocked at the start of the half. Their passing as yet has been rather loose. 3-0.

55- The attendance this afternoon is 8658, with 229 having travelled up from Crawley. 3-0.

54- Swindon are yet to win a game they have scored the first goal in this season. Does anyone think that will change today? 3-0.

51- Hint of a foul there as Kemp won the ball back off Crawley and fed Young, who drilled the ball into the bottom corner. 3-0.

GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Swindon 3 (Young 51') Crawley 0

47- Young has now scored within three minutes of the second half in both of his County Ground appearances. Khan picks up the ball in midfield and slipped Young in behind, he charged into the box and slotted the ball in at the near post. 2-0.

GOAL!!!!! Swindon 2 (Young 47') Crawley 0

45- Charlie Austin gets us back underway for the second half. 1-0.

Crawley are making their way back out for the second half.

The main takeaway from the first half is that Swindon need to offer whatever it takes to keep Dan Kemp.

HALF-TIME: Swindon 1 Crawley 0

45- There will be two minutes added time. That must be the lowest amount anywhere this season. 1-0.

42- Kemp picks a great pass to set Austin in down the right. Young and McEachran both ran towards the near post and Austin's ball went behind them before Crawley won a free-kick. 1-0.

37- Crawley somehow don't equalise. The opposition counter quickly and Adam Campbell is through two-v-two and elects to shoot from range with Mahoney off his line, but shanks the ball horribly out for a goal kick. 1-0.

34- Dan Kemp is the best player in this league. He exchanges passes with Young and races in behind. With Austin square he chooses to go alone and curls the ball into the bottom corner. Kemp has run the show so far and deservedly gets his goal. 1-0.

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAL! Swindon 1 (Kemp 34') Crawley 0

32- Swindon win the ball high through FBT and he gives the ball to Kemp, his effort from the edge of the area whistles over the bar. 0-0.

31- UGM performing a roulette in the middle of the pitch deserved more than Jake Young's meek cross. 0-0.

30- For two sides that like to have possession, no one has managed to take control of this game so far. Both sides looking very vulnerable at the back. 0-0.

26- Darcy's cross draw a save out of Mahoney. Crawley work the ball down the right and Darcy mishits a cross and it loops towards goal, Mahoney pushes it over the bar. 0-0.

24- Watching Dan Kemp is truly breath taking. The thought process from a League Two team to send him out on loan makes the mind bottle. 0-0.

22- Lovely move. From a free-kick, Swindon play it short and then slip Kemp in down the side, his ball across goal is just too far ahead of UGM. A breathless start here. 0-0.

20- Magic from Kemp. He receives the ball in his own and goes on a mazy dribble which ends in the Crawley box, but couldn't quite get his shot on target. 0-0.

18- Big save from Addai. UGM gets forwards from the back and threads a pass through to Young. He diverts the ball across goal, but Addai gets down well to save. 0-0.

15- End-to-end stuff here. Adam Campbell now should score as he is in space on the edge of the box, but hits the shot down the throat of Mahoney. 0-0.

14- Swindon should be ahead. Dan Kemp runs in down the side of the box and tried to finish across Addai, but pulls the shot wide of the far post. 0-0.

14- Nice move. FBT finds Khan in space, he turns and gives the ball to Young on the edge of the box, but his shot goes wide. 0-0.

12- Young and Austin nearly combine on the counter as Austin spread the ball out to Young. The latter tried to clip the ball into the path of Austin, but Addai read the pass and made the claim. 0-0.

9- HOW HAS HE MISSED??? Tsaroulla makes a great run through the middle of the Town defence and squared the ball to Orsi. From eight yards out he somehow hooked it over the bar. 0-0.

7- Crawley have in fact stuck with a back three and moved back Jay Williams into the middle of the back three. 0-0.

6- Both teams have shown off some pretty poor set piece routines early on. 0-0.

3- Crawley getting stuck in early on here and have won two free-kicks in quick succession in inviting areas. 0-0.

1- Ronan Darcy gets the game underway, with Swindon shooting towards the Stratton Bank in the first half. 0-0.

You have to question how Ronan Darcy has got the number 10 shirt for a second consecutive season.

Here come the players.

Did we not learn our lessons last year with Hanners? Vic Morgan is yelling chants through the PA system at the moment and no one is joining in. The pre-match announcer really just needs to be functional.

I remarked upon this last year, but given Mahoney is in the other goal now it is even more stark. Corey Addai is absolutely ginormous.

It is a bit of a shame that given all the former Swindon alumni now ploughing their trade at Crawley, only Ronan Darcy is in the starting line-ups. Although it is probably not a surprise that Ben Gladwin and Dion Conroy are injured.

I have now spotted Ward, he was loitering behind Mildenhall while Brann was facing shots from the outfielders.

Lewis Ward is the 'keeper that has been selected on the bench this afternoon, but Conor Brann is the one doing the warm-ups. Bit odd.

It has just started absolutely hammering it down at the County Ground. There was a rumble of thunder and then Sky lost reception in the media room. Warm-ups are looking more miserable than usual.

Crawley have had to make two changes from last week as Conroy and Telford drop out for Henry and Lolos, both of whom are midfielders. This indicates a formation change to a back four, either a midfield diamond or a 4222.

The many crazy curveballs of the Crawley summer continued yesterday as they let Dom Telford join Barrow. Despite their travails last season, he still got 12 goals and received a glowing review from Flynn yesterday, but will not be someone Swindon have to deal with.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to the County Ground for the second time this week as Scott Lindsey's Crawley Town are the visitors in League Two.
