Town face a tough trip to stadium:mk to face the Dons of Milton Keynes.
Danny Wilson talking to BBC Wiltshire this week:
Milton Keynes Dons have ‘got some good players there and have had a very good result on Tuesday which makes it as tough as we’ve ever played.’
Stephen Gleeson is rated as 50/50 while Pedro ‘Pele’ Cardoso, Jude Stirling and Aaron Wilbraham.
A former transfer target for Swindon Town and often a nuisance for defences will cause Town’s leakey back-line some issues.
He’s also scored a few goals against Town over the years.
Former Dons midfielder Jon-Paul McGovern is struggling while Lescinel Jean-Francois is likely to also miss out.
The major concern is Charlie Austin who picked up a hamstring injury during the draw with Brentford.
With Charlie Austin struggling and Vincent Pericard firing blanks it’s up to the Togo international to prove his worth.
Since their move to Milton Keynes. Town have played the Dons 11 times, winning five, drawing and losing three.
The last meeting resulted in a 2-1 win for MK Dons in March of this year. Wilbraham and Tunnicliffe grabbing the goals for the home side, while Danny Ward scored a late consolation for Swindon.
MK Dons 1-0 Swindon Town
Town travel to Southampton on August 31 for their JP Trophy 1st Round tie.
