There's been a robbery! Swindon Town steal a point despite incoherent performance at Cambridge

ANALYSIS: Set up in a system which must have been designed to counter Cambridge’s overlapping wide players but somehow ended up only encouraging them, Swindon spent most of the game chasing a combination of the opposition’s shadows and their own tails.

But this was not a performance to inspire supporter confidence in the wider context of the promotion push.
