The groundsmen have done their bit. It’s GAME ON. Now Swindon Town must reward the efforts made and try and take poins off Sheffield Wednesday
Danny Wilson talking to BBC Wiltshire
Two wins puts us in touching distance of Sheffield Wednesday and that says everything. They’ve had a great few months and there’s nothing in this table that you can’t claw back.’
Kevin Amankwaah, David Lucas and Vincent Pericard are all back to full fitness.
Jonathan Douglas remains a doubt.
We need his goals today.
Wednesday maybe out of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy after their 3-1 loss at Carlisle United. However, their league form is good with three consecutive wins.
Jon Ostemobor has a calf strain and is doubtful. Lexis Buxton is also struggling with a hamstring problem.
Forward Neil Mellor could miss out with an ankle injury.
With in form forward Neil Mellor struggling with injury it’ll be important for the former Republic of Ireland international to step up for Wednesday.
It’s incredible to think that it’s been over five years since our last encounter with Wednesday.
Town lost the last outing 2-0 at Hillsborough but won the home encounter that season 3-2 and also defeated Wednesday 4-1 in the F.A. Cup.
Among those to have played for both clubs…
Jon-Paul McGovern
David Lucas
Phil King
Barry Corr
Juan Cobian
Danny Williams, Paul Sturrock and Danny Wilson have all managed both sides.
0-0!
Town welcome Crawley Town to the County Ground on Tuesday 7 December.
