RESULT: Fleetwood Town 5 Swindon Town 1
Fleetwood scorers: El-Abd 34 (og), Sarcevic 55 (pen), Henen 64, Fosu-Henry 69, Grant 84
Swindon scorer: Ajose 78
After picking up the first 3 points of Martin Ling's reign last weekend, Town fans must have headed to the struggling Lancashire outfit with a tinge of optimism in the air.
And for 30 minutes, everything looked good for the away side.
That was until an unfortunate flick off the boot of Adam El-Abd gave The Cod Army the breakthrough they had been looking for.
Any hopes that a half-time talking to would rectify the situation were soon put to bed when the hot-headed Vigouroux felled Fleetwood striker David Ball in the box, leaving the referee in no doubt to award the spot-kick.
Sarcevic converted, and from then on, it was men against boys at Highbury, with further goals from Henen, Fosu-Henry and Grant further compounding Town's misery.
A well-timed header from Nicky Ajose was little consolation.
Martin Ling later commented "It was a very bad day at the office. I'd put it down to all eleven players having a bad day at the same time. No-one is exempt from criticism. We have to brush ourselves down quickly and get ready for Walsall on Tuesday night."
