Swindon took the lead shortly before half time after an own goal which was headed in by Terrell Forbes on 41 minutes.
Danny Wilson was sent to the stands mid way through the second half after protesting against a free kick which wasn't given.
Swindon had a few more chances in the second half, and really should have doubled their lead late on when Lloyd Macklin only had the 'keeper to beat, which he did, but then he shot wide.
Overall an average game, but an important win for Swindon who now move up to
6th place on 11 points.
