Alarm bells ring for Newport County after Swindon hammering

NEWPORT County AFC had another Saturday night of navel-gazing after a second straight League Two nightmare.

The Exiles went to Swindon with the aim of reacting strongly to their 4-1 loss to Port Vale but instead produced a performance that was worse.

With the fixture getting off early at 12.30pm for Sky Sports, it was game over before 1pm after a nightmare start for County.

Kabongo Tshimanga got things going in the fourth minute, Paul Glatzel headed in a second after 18 and Matt Baker put into his own net under pressure in the 21st.

Any slim hopes of making a game of it were stopped before half-time cuppas with Wales Under-21s international Joel Cotterill finishing just before the break on the rebound from a terrific Nick Townsend save.
