FA Cup: Second round results and key talking points

League Two side Swindon Town got the better of Bolton Wanderers as they beat them by four goals.

Robins striker Aaron Drinan scored a hat-trick and Joe Snowdon’s second half goal ensured an emphatic win for Ian Holloway’s side.

In terms of league form, Swindon currently sit second in the fourth tier, one point off leaders Walsall.

Bolton are sixth in League One and have only lost three of their 17 matches played so far this season.

“I think the score does flatter us if I’m being brutally honest, they had a couple of chances they could have taken,” Holloway told BBC Radio Wiltshire.

“But we had a couple more we could have got too but you need your team to play well and everybody played well today, absolutely everybody.

“That might be as good a performance I’ve seen from any of my teams that I’ve had over the past 14, 15, 16 years.

“The lads did ever so well and they deserve everything that happens to them but they have to understand why we did so well today.”

Bolton edged the possession stats but were unable to take advantage when on the ball.

“The performance was rubbish from start to finish,” Bolton boss Steven Schumacher told BBC Radio Manchester after the game.

“We gave them a one-nil head start from a mad decision for the handball for the penalty, we responded pretty well from that moment but then we lacked quality.

“We hit the bar a couple of times but couldn’t find a way back into the game, second half they took over and were well better than us.”
