INJURIES TO FORCE TOWN CHANGES?

Posted on: Mon 20 Oct 2008

Swindon Town boss Maurice Malpas could be forced into making two changes for Tuesday night's home clash with Northampton Town.

Goalkeeper Peter Brezovan took a knock to an ankle at Roots Hall and although he did train on Monday morning, could be a doubt Tuesday's game.

"Big Peter hurt his ankle on Saturday, but although he trained today it was a little uncomfortable for him," said Malpas.

"Phil Smith was on the bench on Saturday and he is fine now. If Brezzie doesn't make it then Phil will start the game.

"Billy Paynter came off at Southend, but he was due to come off anyway just before he scored. He is fine now and will be available for Tuesday.

"We will pick a team for tomorrow that we think can win the game. We have a few injuries but we have to get the players ready for it. If we can get our noses in front then we have to work to keep the lead.

Another player who could miss the game is midfielder Lee Peacock, although the manager had praise for the former Bristol City man.

"He has a tight hamstring so may miss the Northampton game, but he did well at Southend. He dislocated a finger, came off and had it put back into place.

"It just shows you the adrenaline running at the time because he went straight back on and that's the kind of determination we want to see from the players."
