Huddersfield missed the opportunity to move into the top six after they were held to a goalless draw at
Brighton.
Tranmere Rovers gave their survival hopes a massive boost by recording a precious 1-0 away win at
Gillingham, while the remaining League One clash at the Memorial Stadium saw
Bristol Rovers slip to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of
Walsall.
In-form frontman Billy Paynter was once again the Swindon hero as he grabbed a brace to inspire Danny Wilson's men to their ninth home victory of the season.
The former Hull City hitman grabbed both goals on the stroke of half-time before strike partner Charlie Austin and midfielder Danny Ward put the result beyond doubt.
Ian Thomas-Moore snatched the spoils for Tranmere at the Priestfield Stadium, his 68th minute strike enough to see off the plummeting Gills.

And Lee Clark's Huddersfield are now two points off the play-off places after neither they nor Brighton managed to trouble the scorers on the south coast.
