Oldham Athletic are the next visitors to The County Ground as The Latics arrive in Wiltshire on Saturday afternoon.

The two sides met recently at Boundary Park in what was an entertaining League One clash. Four goals in the game saw Swindon make the return journey South with a share of the spoils. Lee Peacock shot Town into the lead before a frantic eight-minute spell in the second half. Oldham equalised through Dave Livermore before Mark Allott took Oldham ahead. Lee Peacock then hit his second of the game from close range - despite Simon Cox's best efforts to claim the goal (the debate still rages).

Both teams have Premiership history too. Oldham were the first ever visitors to The County Ground during the Robins' one-season stay in the top-flight in 1993-94. The visitors went away with the three points, although both teams were ultimately relegated at the end of the campaign.

John Sheridan, who is now in his third spell as manager at Boundary Park, enjoyed a successful spell as a player with The Latics. He made over 150 appearances for the club after joining in 1998. Sheridan arrived at Oldham with an impressive CV, having served the likes of Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers. He also won 34 caps for the Republic of Ireland, scoring five times and was the scorer of the 100th Irish international goal at Lansdowne Road in 1994 against Bolivia.

Oldham come into the game chasing a play-off place after a 4-1 home win over Huddersfield Town last weekend.

Craig Davies remains top of the scoring charts with 14 goals to his name this term. Lee Hughes, who returned to the game with a move to Oldham last summer, has scored eight whilst Gary McDonald has chipped in with five.

There could be more goals on the cards when the two teams meet for what is the first home game of April. Let's hope they come Town's way.
