"But when they get it on an iPad and it's not shown to us, how can I say that is my team and I haven't checked it? No-one's checked it and it's too late to check it when the game's gone on and they noticed it because one of their staff noticed it. It's a major whoopsie I would suggest from the officials - is that us, is that them?"
"Holloway brought on top scorer Drinan as one of three half-time changes. However, Ryan Tafazolli had been listed in his place on the bench on the official line-up seen by officials before kick-off. It took until the 64th minute for Drinan's presence to be questioned, leading to an eight-minute delay in play, with the forward eventually staying on the pitch."
Aaron Drinan was missing from Swindon's official teamsheet before the EFL Trophy match at Luton, with Ryan Tafazolli listed on the bench instead. Drinan was brought on at half-time as one of three changes, but his presence was not questioned until the 64th minute, causing an eight-minute delay before he remained on the pitch. Swindon's 2-1 win advances them to the competition quarter-finals, but the club faces a likely EFL investigation. Teamsheets are now submitted electronically rather than handwritten, and officials did not ask for team verification on a screen before kick-off, prompting calls to reconsider the process.
