Is this the most pointless competitive match in Swindon Town's history?
10.11.26, 15:31 6 Minute Read
The Robins travel to Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night already eliminated from the EFL Trophy, with more than half their first-team squad unavailable and the prospect of another injury potentially doing considerably more damage than any result at Home Park.
It is difficult to imagine a game Ian Holloway would rather not have to play.
Town are out of the competition, having lost each of their two group games, while Plymouth are already through to the next round. The Pilgrims could still advance as group winners, so there is something riding on the fixture in a small competitive sense, but for Swindon there is precious little to be gained.
