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

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.

Ian Holloway was rightly unhappy afterwards. His team did not so much gift Cambridge their opener but tied it up in a frilly bow, and after they had done so well to turn the game around they appeared to once again get the yips.

It feels a tad unfair to be hypocritical: a win is a win is a win, after all. But this was not the sort of victory which leaves you strutting from the stands as a home fan, having watched HMS Piss The League set sail towards the League Two title with a sense of glorious inevitability.
