Comments:
Unused substitutes: Glenn Williamson, John Halls and Kevin Rapley. League Position: 13thComments:
Unused substitutes: Richard McKinney and Nathan Edwards. League Position: 14th NB Some sources incorrectly named Mark Robinson in the Swindon Town starting line-up - rather than Steve Robinson (as confirmed by the match report on the club's official web site). Mark had announced his retirement due to injury earlier in the week.
