The Preview: Against a backdrop of worry, Swindon Town have the opportunity to make a fresh start at Gresty Road

CREWE ALEXANDRA vs SWINDON TOWN: Crewe have lost all three of their games so far in 2024/25. Swindon, after an encouraging point at Chesterfield and a 20-minute fightback at Crawley which hinted at brighter things to come, arrive in Cheshire having conceded nine times.

When Sky Sports selected this fixture for live coverage as part of their new EFL package, you have to wonder what they expected.

Presumably, the suits in charge at Isleworth would have looked at Crewe as the plucky playoff runner-up, raring to go again. Swindon, meanwhile, were the wounded dog, wrestling with years of underperformance, and this season would be another fresh start.

Yes, the suits might have thought. That’ll do. Stick it on Sky Sports + at 12.30pm on a Saturday, and watch the viewers come flowing in.
