Peterborough, Forest Green and Wrexham.In appraising Swindon’s performances there are some crumbs of comfort. The Wrexham defence only stopped 1 of Swindon’s 6 shots on target and they beat Forest Green only after Rovers had a man sent off. Crawley were thrashed, yes, but they only drew with Crewe at home.Having said that they probably deserved to win at Peterborough considering that Peterborough only made 2 changes from the previous league game. All you might say is that they could not shoot straight on that occasion - 24 shots - 9 on target, but only 1 goal.Whilst it would be bold to forecast a solid win, will ST be better than Everton?It is worth mentioning that shots on target are only counted if they are saved by the keeper.Shots that are on target but blocked by defender are not included in the count, even ones that are cleared off the line.Is a “blocked shot” only so described if it is on target? Unless it is blocked on the goal-line it must be a difficult decision to pick the ones which are and are not. Does it have to go past the goalkeeper? If not, what constitutes a “block”?

Unbeaten in their 3 away games this season over 90 minutes - all tough fixtures. Peterborough, Forest Green and Wrexham.
Why hasn't Griffith's been included? He's not injured is he so why not even a sub? I understand we don't want him but he's here and our player so use him.We need Biggins, close, Hurst etc back quickly for sure.
I think we will need to be clinical today.Was listening to the EFL debate podcast with a Swindon fan on. Describes it as “Baz ball football”. Very open, attacking and end to end.Let’s not forget that they sacrificed a 4-1 HT lead to draw 5-5 with Wrexham the other week.Has Louie Marsh got a good goal scoring record at youth level? I can’t find anything.
