Head2Head & Team News - Swindon Town(A)

Last updated : 17 February 2006 By Deano
Forte missed Tuesday's win against Bournemouth with an ankle problem and has only been training lightly the last few days, a decision is set to be made in the morning whether he travels.

Other than Forte's injury Alan Knill has no new worries ahead of the clash and may field the same starting 11, as a couple of minor knocks to players from Tuesday night have cleared up. Stephen Quinn has also extended his loan spell with the club.

The Millers last trip to Swindon saw us go down 2-1 even though we were 2nd in the table and they were 20th at the time. A win tomorrow for the Robins would see them stretch the gap between the sides to eight points, but a win for Rotherham would see us close in on the bunch of clubs hovering above the drop zone. Town's only away win so far this campaign came at Millmoor with a Rory Fallon goal proving to be the decisive strike.

Swindon are looking to extend their eight game unbeaten run and it's 'Bring a friend day' at tomorrow's match, so a decent crowd is expected. Boss Iffy Onuora has negotiated a deal for promising defender Jerel Ifil's contract extension, but has to do without much travelled forward Trevor Benjamin with a thigh injury. Onuora told Swindon's official site: "Rotherham have some good players and are doing well, but I believe in our team and we'll guard against complacency that's for sure. We are on a decent run ourselves and want to continue that winning run this weekend."
