It may have been pointless but it was at least productive: What Swindon Town can learn from their dead rubber in Devon

Well, it was a football match, and now it's over.
Swindon Town's trip to Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Trophy meant little, delivered not a great deal, and can now safely be consigned to the scrapheap of history.
Town went to Devon on Tuesday night with a makeshift team cobbled together from the remnants of the first-team squad and a squabble of academy players, and put up a fair fight against a Pilgrims side which had also undergone considerable rotation.
It's very difficult to get worked up one way or the other about the result, the nature of the defeat in the 99th minute, or the performance put in by Swindon, because there was precious little riding on the fixture for anyone of a Robins persuasion.
