Swindon Town caretaker boss David Byrne will be making changes for the visit of Carlisle United this weekend.

Byrne has confirmed Jerel Ifil, Callum Kennedy and Anthony McNamee will all start against Carlisle United on Saturday with Town looking to rise through the League One table sooner rather than later.

"Jerel Ifil will come into the side," Byrne affirmed. "I have decided that it is the right time to bring him back. He has experience and he needs another opportunity to get out there and show us what he can do.

"The defence needs improving so he is a part of the changes we are making to try and nullify the errors we have been making at the back."

Another switch for the weekend's game will be the return of crowd favourite Anthony McNamee to the left hand side of midfield.

With Town set to go on the attack this weekend, Byrne is looking forward to seeing an influential performance from the former Watford wideman.

"He is someone who I feel you have to play at home because he can change games at the flick of a switch.

"We are going to be going for the points this weekend and Macca will be an important part of our plans."
