Match Preview

Late goals from Ben Middlemas and Louis Millard capped off an impressive comeback win for Swindon on Tuesday as the Robins beat Port Vale 3-1. Ian Holloway's side have won two of their last three League Two matches heading into gameweek five.

Colchester United's unbeaten start to the season came to an end in midweek as the Essex-based club were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Bristol Rovers. The visitors had won back-to-back matches before that defeat.
