Swindon Town have had an issue defending set pieces so far this season, so how can they solve this problem in their back line?

Ian Holloway entered the season stating that he needed to cut out around 20 goals and maintain the scoring touch from last year to accomplish his aims, but the early struggles from dead balls have proved problematic in accomplishing that.

Town have conceded ten times in six matches so far this season, and eight of them have stemmed from set-piece scenarios.

Looking at this statistically, Swindon have only allowed the ninth-highest xG from set pieces so far at 2.37, Salford City have conceded 4.07, and only given up 21 shots, whereas Cheltenham Town have allowed 33 already. So, they are far from the worst at allowing opportunities, but they have been costly when they have.
