Clash of two FA Cup no-hopers gives Swindon Town opportunity to build ahead of long, cold winter

A glamour tie! Swindon Town will host Colchester United in the first round of the FA Cup in the sort of draw which will leave both sets of supporters… well… somewhat underwhelmed.
That said, there is opportunity here for Town. Actually, there is more than opportunity. Progression in the famous old cup competition could end up being critical.
With nearly a quarter of the League Two season gone, and despite the win over Cheltenham, Swindon’s chances of pushing for promotion are scant.
