If Swindon Town do somehow make great waves in this season’s EFL Trophy, they will have done so in the hardest way possible.
On Tuesday night, for the second successive round in this year’s competition, Town face the top-ranked club left in the draw. For the second successive round, the bookmakers have the Robins at odds of 8/1 and longer to win a two-horse race.
For the second successive round, the world of football expects absolutely nothing from the League Two strugglers.
Birmingham City are top of the third tier, just as Wycombe Wanderers were when Swindon went to Adams Park and won in December. They have 53 points from 23 games and have lost just twice in the league this season.
