Swindon fell to a fifth defeat in five cup matches at Home Park, as they lost to League One Plymouth in their final Jersey Mike’s Trophy group match.

The home side took the lead from a Ronan Curtis penalty, but Antwoine Hackford raced away to equalise before the break.

The second half saw chances at both ends, with Joe Snowdon firing over from a free kick, and Lewis Ward producing a fine save to deny Oliver Irow as he looked to tuck a shot into the corner of the net.

The Pilgrims eventually nicked it, as Xavier Amaechi managed to set up Seb Campbell to tap home the winner in stoppage time.

Before that, James Ball had lifted over the goalkeeper from an Anthony Munda free kick, which would have given Town the lead in the 90th minute.

However, the goal was chalked off as the assistant referee had judged Ball to be offside.

Having watched the incident back, Holloway admitted that he was furious with that, as well as several other decisions.

He said: “I was pleased with a lot of it, apart from a smack in the teeth at the end.

“We scored a perfectly good goal.

We can see on our little screen that the linesman puts his flag up, saying Ball was offside, but he's not offside.

If you watch it back, he's not offside.

So we've had a goal counted off, and then you get 10 minutes [of stoppage time].

Even Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] doesn't get 10 minutes.

What on earth is that all about?

We had all of our kids out there at the end.

Their bench, I thought it was ridiculous.

We thought it was ridiculous.

And let's just see some penalties, and then before you know it, well done to them.

They scored a great goal, so I'm not arguing about that.

I'm arguing about the one that we scored that their linesmen didn't get right.

How many fouls did I see that we should have got that we didn't?

It was really strange.

And then I go and get booked for what?

I flicked a bottle.

I didn't kick it in anger.

It was just ridiculous.

So I've just gone in and told them [the officials].

I'm really pleased with her a lot today.

I have to say that, but we've lost.

So, 10 minutes.

Wow!”
