Ian Holloway has questioned why Luton Town have been allowed back in the EFL Trophy following Swindon Town’s expulsion, saying Plymouth Argyle ought to have received a bye into the semi-finals.
Swindon were thrown out of the Trophy on Wednesday (February 4), following an EFL disciplinary hearing related to the Robins fielding two ineligible players during their 2-1 win at Luton last month.
Ollie Clarke played despite being midway through a seven-match ban, while Aaron Drinan came on as a second-half substitute despite his name not being included on the teamsheet submitted to officials.
