Website 0330 002 199390' 5-0 There will be three added minutes at the end of the game for Walsall to attempt an unlikely comeback in.
86' 5-0 Harry Parsons received the ball ten yards inside the half and almost by accident performed a spin turn to throw Monthe into next week and get beyond him and charge forward before being dragged down on the edge of the box and winning a free-kick.
84' 5-0 It has taken 85 minutes and five goals but we have just entered the "ole" passing section of the evening. With a game every few days you can forgive them not going hell for leather for more goals, important not to use them all up on a game that is already won as well.
83' 5-0 The sponsors have given their man of the match to Ricky Aguair. Tough to argue with that one, he has well and truly taken his chance in professional football.
Garner's final change of the evening. Davison hasn't scored tonight but the crowd are all on their feat applauding his hard work and the two assists he got for the first two goals.
OFF: Josh Davison
ON: Harry Parsons
76' 5-0 Louie Barry is having so much fun out there that he has done the obligatory "Aston Villa youth player playing well" thing and rolled his socks down low like Jack Grealish.
Garner makes his second switch of the night
OFF: Ellis Iandolo
ON: Ryan East
There are 9840 fans in tonight to see this five star Swindon performance
This one feels a little bit locking the stable after the horse has already bolted, but...
OFF: Jack Earing
ON: Brendan Kiernan
71' GOAL SWINDON! 5-0 This was more than worth the cold. From that corner, Swindon countered up the other end, Barry tried to find space in the box before eventually teeing up Aguiar to strike, his shot was deflected straight into the path of Jonny Williams to tap into the net.
70' 4-0 You could forgive Wollacott for having gone home during this second half as he has had nothing to do, but Walsall won a corner and directed the header goalwards, but the Ghanaian international is in a good position and saves it.
66' 4-0 You really just cannot buy confidence, but Swindon have it in spades now. Williams instantly finds an inroad down the right, but can't quite find Davison with his cutback. The loose ball is picked up by Rob Hunt who smashes it, but straight at Rushworth.
ON: Jonny Williams
OFF: Harry McKirdy
62' FOUR-NIL TO SWINDON This one will really annoy Mike Flynn as a poor pass in midfield towards Menayese is latched onto by Barry who races clear and with half of the pitch to make his mind up, finishes emphatically beyond Rushworth. This was unimaginable just two weeks ago.
61' 3-0 The Walsall press people are currently questioning how their performance has managed to change so drastically from Saturday at Forest Green. But, this has been a very impressive attacking performance from Swindon. The new formation is allowing Town to play the ball up the pitch far quicker and more effectively than before.
57' 3-0 It is very nearly four here. The Walsall defender makes a goal saving tackle to deny McKirdy on the edge of the box, the ball works its way to Barry who finds space where there is none and squeezes his shot on target only to be denied by a fantastic save from the outstretched arms of Rushworth.
56' 3-0 SWINDON ARE IN DREAMLAND! Joe Tomlinson runs round the back of the Walsall defence with no marker in sight, comes to the by line and sizes up his options, before choosing Aguiar who lashes in his second of the night into the top corner. What's that about buses?
55' 2-0 Rollin Menayese goes into the book for a nasty looking challenge on Louie Barry on the halfway line. That's one way of trying to stop him.
50' 2-0 It does not take long for Flynn to look to his substitutes.
On: Joss Labadie, Devante Rodney
Off: Donervon Daniels, George Miller
47' 2-0 Swindon in with a shout of adding a third early in the half as Reed quarterbacks a ball through for McKirdy to drill in, the keeper isn't overly confident with his take and Barry almost nips in for his second of the night.
45' 2-0 Harry McKirdy gets us underway for the second-half with Swindon shooting towards the Town End hoping to add to their two goal advantage.
Walsall are back out here, so the second half is imminent.
45' 2-0 Right after Aguiar doubled Town's advantage the referee blows for half-time with Swindon in fine form at the end of the half.
45+1 2-0 GOAL SWINDON! A dream first half for Swindon against tough competition here. Tomlinson plays the ball to Davison inside the box, who with his back to goal doesn't realise he can turn and shoot, he instead lays it back to the onrushing Ricky Aguiar who drills it first time into the far corner of the net to grab his first goal for the club.
45' 1-0 There will be one minute added on to the end of the first-half.
44' 1-0 Tomlinson has his second speculative shot of the night and this one had Rushworth thinking for a moment. The pitch opened up for the left-back and he took his shot which was struck flat and with power narrowly over the top of the bar.
43' 1-0 The Walsall wing-backs have been going walkabouts in the last ten minutes or so, giving McKirdy and particularly Barry a lot of space in transition as they go 1v1 with a central defender.
38' 1-0 Swindon have clicked into gear here after the goal. Hunt gets in down the side and with Davison making a run to the near post tries to pull it back, but Donervon Daniels makes a key interception to prevent it reaching Swindon's number nine.
37' 1-0 It should have been two for Barry just moments after getting his first. Hunt crosses in towards Davison, but he loses out although the ball falls for Barry on the edge of the box who volleys it first time and catches it well but goes straight at Rushworth.
35' 1-0 GOAL SWINDON! Louis Reed makes a great sliding challenge forward to Josh Davison who skips beyond his man and slides in Barry who squares up to Menayese and runs around the outside of him before slamming home on his weaker left foot to get his second in as many games for Swindon.
31' 0-0 Harry McKirdy comes very close to the breakthrough and definitely should have done better with his finish. Barry has the ball on the edge of the box and backheels it past the Walsall defence right as McKirdy darts beyond them. He steadies himself but shoots over the top.
29' 0-0 It's been a frantic few minutes here with a few decisions the Swindon fans weren't huge fans of. There has not been loads of goalmouth action so far, but it has been a feisty affair.
27' 0-0 Brandon Cooper is down here and the Town faithful are chanting "OFF, OFF, OFF". But the referee did not see what seems to have been a clash of heads between the Swansea loanee and Wilkinson.
25' 0-0 Shout for a potential red card here as a long ball saw McKirdy running clean through and challenging for a 50-50 with the Walsall keeper Rushworth. McKirdy went down but Rushworth just got to the ball first and cleared the danger.
21' 0-0 It didn't amount to anything in the end, but Brandon Cooper on the turn raked an unbelievable pass 40 yards across the field to McKirdy, who took it down and came inside, but was tackled and Josh Davison failed to make use of the loose ball and it went out for a throw in.
18' 0-0 A foul from Ricky Aguiar gave Walsall a free-kick in a good area. Jack Earing whipped it towards the back post and its headed clear before the ball came to Liam Kinsella, who blazed it over the top.
15' 0-0 Walsall work the ball around the box before it comes to Tyrese Shade, who has looked dangerous so far, he came inside and his deflected shot almost found its way to Wilkinson.
14' 0-0 Walsall do carry a threat though. Hayden White just swung a ball in with real pace towards Conor Wilkinson, but Swindon managed to deal with it and Rob Hunt put it behind for a corner which came to nothing.
12' 0-0 Swindon seem very crisp in their passing so far, with excellent link-up particularly between Tomlinson, Iandolo, and Barry. Those three combined down the left and Barry cut back inside and delivered an interesting looking cross to the back post, but no red shirts were in the vicinity.
8' 0-0 Swindon are holding the ball for the most part in the opening exchanges, but Walsall have clearly come here to press and assert themselves on Swindon physically. Something which has not made for a particularly favourable match-up for Town so far this season.
'5 0-0 It has taken all of five minutes for Joe Tomlinson to try his luck for the first time. His effort from range is palmed away by Carl Rushworth at the near post.
1' 0-0 Our first action of the game sees George Miller attempt the spectacular and go for a volley on the turn from 30 yards. Fortunately and rather unsurprisingly he is not Neymar and it loops lazily wide.
KICK-OFF: Walsall get us underway. 0-0
The teams are out here at the County Ground and kick-off is just a few minutes away.

90' 5-0 It is all over here at the County Ground. One of Swindon's best displays of the season comes together and they run rampant against Walsall. Town march on to their encounter with Salford at the weekend with three straight wins and 10 goals scored in that time. They also move up to fifth in the table.
