Match ends, Swindon Town 2, Notts County 1.
Swindon Town broke a four-match winless streak as they beat Notts County thanks to two pieces of comedic defending.
The visitors conceded after 19 minutes in calamitous circumstances as Scott Robertson tried to play the ball back to his goalkeeper Sam Slocombe, but it hit the post and rebounded for Aaron Drinan to net his third goal in four games.
Sean McGurk then drifted out to the right and picked out Paul Glatzel in space with a whipped cross, but his header rattled the crossbar and bounced over.
Then, in the 73rd minute, Slocombe came out of his goal and attempted to thread a pass into midfield, but instead played it straight to Glatzel who could not believe his luck as he put the ball into the empty net.
Substitute Alassana Jatta scored a stoppage-time consolation goal for Notts from an acute angle, but it proved too little too late as County's slide down the table continued.

Some lads are trying whilst others are just going through the motions and don't care.
Manager looks out of his depth 🤯🤯
Owners made a huge mistake and need to act now🤯
Fans deserve better.
I Maynard stays I won't renew season ticket😴
Owners are invisible whilst this clown show carries on, possibly the worst footballing decision ever to appoint a part time manager?!
Will not be renewing season ticket if this clown is still in charge. Clueless.
The goals Notts gave us were absolutely comical and more akin to what you'd expect to see on a Sunday morning league.
The way Notts continually played around the back which reminded me of how we used to play at Swindon Town. Notts were our best form of attack as they gave away so many bad balls in defensive situations.
Has he lost the changing room?
Has he thrown in the towel?
Does he know he's out of his depth?
Go now lad🤯
Maynard your short time is very much up 🚕
