The Lions Vs. The Robins

…Swindon face another tricky away day against Millwall.

Vital Quotes:

Danny Wilson talking to BBC Radio Swindon

‘We’ve proved to a few people that we’re a decent team, we can play and we are gaining confidence as games come along.

‘The players have to ignore the table because if you keep looking at it it’s not going to do anything for you – it doesn’t make good reading because we’re too close to the relegation area.

‘But it doesn’t tell a true picture of the confidence that’s surrounding the camp at the moment.’

Millwall Team News:

Scotsman Marc Laird is predicted to replace the suspended David Martin. While striker Lewis Grabban and defender Paul Robinson are out injured.

Last Millwall Line-Up

XI: Forde, Dunne, Craig, Whitbread, Frampton, Martin, Bolder, Abdou, Henry, Grimes, McLeod

Subs: Pidgeley, Hackett, Laird, Barron, Harris

Player to watch: Zak Whitbread

Born in Houston, Texas – the American-English defender has been in impressive form this season outplaying several of the divisions big name players. Simon Cox will face a tough test tonight.

Swindon Town Team News:
