4:22PM

63' Jaiyesimi dances with the ball at his feet on the edge of the Wimbledon box before cutting onto his right-foot and curling a shot goal bound. But his effort is wide and never looked like troubling Trueman.


0-1

4:18PM

58' Jaiyesimi puts a curling cross into the box that looks like it will sail through with no contact. Csoka doesn't know he has time and hooks the ball out for an unnecessary corner that comes to nothing.


0-1

4:15PM

56' Swindon are giving the ball away very cheaply inside their own half. Lots of poor decision making is stopping them from getting back into this game. It won't be long until we see Richie Wellens make a change.

3:39PM

35' Despite the scoreline, this match has been equally balanced so far. Both sides look shaky at the back but at. the same time both sets of attackers look capable of scoring goals today. There are definitely more goals to come in this game.


0-1

3:34PM

31' The goal came from good play from the Dons who had slowly grown into the game after a dogged start. Pigott was alive in the box and beat Swindon's offside trap to smash the ball first time past Kovar.

We're going 2-2.



2:51PM

There will be a minutes applause for club legend goalkeeper Sam Burton who passed away earlier in the week.


The club website said:


The 'keeper made 463 league appearances for Town, an amount only bettered by John Trollope and his good friend and teammate during the 1950's, Maurice Owen.


Sam became Swindon's first-choice goalkeeper in 1950 and kept that position for eleven years - only injury would keep him out of the side. He also kept future Ireland international Norman Uprichard out of the first eleven.


The club awarded Burton with a testimonial and his final apperance came just two days after his 35th birthday in an FA Cup defeat to Kettering Town.


2:49PM

In contrast, AFC Wimbledon manager Glyn Hodges makes two changes from the side that lost against Accrington Stanley.


WIMBLEDON XI:


GK: Trueman

O'Neill

Csoka

Woodyard

2:38PM

Swindon Town make three changes from their loss against Peterborough as Diallang Jaiyesimi, Dion Donohue, and Jonathan Grounds all come into the starting XI.


Rob Hunt makes the bench after recovering from a back injury whilst Paul Caddis and Zeki Fryers remain sidelines with respective injury problems.

So let's take a look at the team news ahead of kick-off at the County Ground...

2:29PM

Similarly, Wimbledon have made steady progress this season with The Dons sitting in 13th position with five points to their name having won one game, drawn two, and lost one.


Last time out, Wimbledon were on the receiving end of a 2-1 home loss against Accrington Stanley.

2:25PM

Just one point separates the two team's coming into today's fifth round of EFL League One fixtures.


Swindon Town have endured a mixed start to the season, winning two and losing two, with an away loss against Peterborough United last weekend giving Richie Wellens' side six points from a possible 12.
