Swindon Town host Rotherham United at the County Ground this Saturday in a League Two fixture that offers both sides a chance to stabilise their form. The match kicks off at 3pm on October 31, with Town sitting 14th in the table on 16 points after 13 games, a record of four wins, four draws and five losses.
Their recent run has been inconsistent, with one win, two draws and two losses from their last five outings. That sequence includes a goalless draw away to Bristol Rovers last time out, a result that followed a 3-1 win at Barnet and a 1-1 home draw with Walsall. Aaron Drinan, the club's top scorer with 22 goals this season, will be a key figure as Town look to improve a record of 13 goals scored and 16 conceded. Drinan scored twice in the recent victory at Barnet.
Team news
The last starting lineup featured Ripley in goal, with a back four of Mitchell Clark, Majekodunmi, Inwood and Butler. Matthew Virtue-Thick, Jack Thomson and Ball formed the midfield, supporting a front three of Nichols, Aaron Drinan and Snowdon.
Rotherham, who are 22nd, have struggled for results, managing just one win in their last five matches. Their previous team included Eyestone, Rafferty, Iorfa, Ngwenya and Hall in defence. The visitors will be hoping striker Mullin can find his scoring touch at the County Ground.
With 12 points separating them from leaders Salford City, Swindon know a victory is important to keep in touch with the top half. The focus now turns to Saturday's home game against Rotherham.
