Adver Sport assess the performances of the Swindon Town players in today’s 2-1 win at home to Newport County in League Two.

LAWRENCE VIGOUROUX – 7

Hardly called into action in the first half but was busier in the second with some decent saves. Got a hand to the goal but couldn’t keep it out.

KYLE KNOYLE – 6.5

Some probing runs on the right and got an early assist to his name. Newport’s dominance in the second half meant more defending was required.

LUKE WOOLFENDEN – 7

Another solid performance and got in a fair share of tackles and headers as balls were pumped into the Town box in the second half.

SID NELSON – 7.5

The leader of the back-line with a no-nonsense display again. Always up for the physical challenge.

ELLIS IANDOLO – 6.5

Threatening going forwards but might feel he could have stifled the attack that led to the County goal sooner. Booked.

JAMES DUNNE – 7.5

Led Town’s press in the middle of the park, which allowed them to dictate the game in the first half.

MICHAEL DOUGHTY – 7

Got a goal to his name and pieced play together nicely but will be glad that a spurned chance in the second half did not cost his side.

MATT TAYLOR (C) – 6.5

Diligent in what is now becoming his regular holding midfield role. Broke up the Exiles’ play on a fair few occasions.

KAIYNE WOOLERY – 8.5

Showed his pace throughout and kept defenders on the move. Capped a very good performance with the winning goal.

ELIJAH ADEBAYO – 8

One of his liveliest games for a long time and was a real handful for the Newport defence throughout the first half. Booked.

SCOTT TWINE – 7.5

Another energetic performance and made lots of clever runs. Grows in promise with each game.

Substitutes:

JERMAINE MCGLASHAN – 6.5

(For Twine, 73) Injected pace to aid the hosts on the counter.

OLLY LANCASHIRE – 6.5

(For Woolery, 87) Helped stiffen Town up at the back in the closing stages.

Subs not used:

Luke McCormick, Jak McCourt, Steven Alzate, Martin Smith, Sol Pryce.
