Vital Quotes:
'Some will bite the dust as far as their selection is concerned for their performance (against Morecambe) and others will have to make sure they perform to the standards I want to achieve to keep their places.'
'If we are going to be promoted then we`re going to have to perform much better.'
- Swindon Town Manager Paul Sturrock.

Johnny Mullins could feature after recovering from a calf injury whilst striker Danny Reet could start for Mansfield.

Sofiane Zaaboub looks set to start for Town. Swindon Town don't appear to have any new injury worries going into this match. Town could be backed by some Sheffield Wednesday fans who have promised to go to the game to say goodbye to Paul Sturrock who was sacked by Wednesday earlier in the season.
Player to watch: Christian Roberts #9
Christian Roberts has scored 5 goals in 4 games and will be looking to add to that tally and win a holiday paid for by ex manager Dennis Wise should he score 20 goals this season.
