A WORD FROM THE TOWN CAMP
Ben Garner, Swindon Town Head Coach: "They've won their last two so they've won one when Neil McDonald took charge and one on Saturday with Michael Flynn.
"I watched them play Scunthorpe the game before and they were very unlucky to lose the game. They had a lot of chances early on and the game could have easily been won but, unfortunately, it cost Matt Taylor his job.
"They've been performing to a decent level anyway and they've had two back-to-back wins now, and Michael Flynn coming in will give them a lift and new motivation.
"He'll be looking to get his ideas across very quickly and he's always done very well in this division. I thought he did a really, really good job at Newport and they've got a good squad there at Walsall with some really talented players.
"They are physically a very strong side, really good athleticism throughout their team and they've got good strengths and attributes that we're well aware of."
