Cambridge chaos shone light on key tweaks Swindon Town can make as new squad seeks to settle into League Two term

ANALYSIS: The Robins were ponderous and direct, clumsy and clinical, lethargic and intense. It was a curious brew, the sort of performance which would have gone a long way to reinforcing whatever bias you might have held before kick-off.

Low on quality, high on entertainment: Swindon Town’s first home outing of 2025/26 delivered far more questions than answers.

The Robins were, at various times, ponderous and direct, clumsy and clinical, lethargic and intense. It was a curious brew, the sort of performance which would have gone a long way to reinforcing whatever bias you might have held before kick-off.
