Another Saturday, another thriller at the County Ground.

 

For the second weekend running, Swindon put their supporters through the ringer before staging a recovery and nicking the points late-on.

 

This time Town went in at half-time 1-3 down after more pub team defending gifted the League's bottom club three easy goals - despite Nicky Ajose scoring first on the quarter hour.

 

But when Jon Obika headed home immediately after the break to reduce the arrears, everyone in the ground wearing a red scarf somehow knew another unlikely recovery was on.

 

And only five minutes later it was all-square via the unfortunate head of Crewe defender Ben Nugent. 

 

The winner coming just as the Deacons clock was ticking down to full-time, as Nicky Ajose grabbed his second right in front of the Town end. 

 

After seven wins in ten, Swindon move up to 14th.
