Without a win in 5 games Rovers could do with a win soon although a point at Swindon wouldn’t be a bad result. The hosts lie 6th in the table with 8 wins, 7 draws and only 3 defeats. A record similar to carlisles who we’ve struggled against of late. Despite an FA cup battering at Stockport the robins are in decent form. Their last 3 league games saw wins against Hartlepool and Mansfield and a draw v Bradford and they’ll be looking for at least a repeat of their 6th place play off finish last season. Rovers will need to keep an eye on frontman luke jephcott who we were linked with although ex rover Russian Hepburn Murphy has hardly features for the hosts.
As for rovers does Micky stick with the back 5 that keep a clean sheet v Stockport and started v Carlisle, or does he go with four which he went to at half time last week? That may impact whether Tom Davies keeps his place in the starting eleven. As for going forward I’m expecting the usual suspects although Nevitt may come back in for Lewis.
Prediction: I think we’re capable of getting a point but wouldn’t be surprised with a home win.
