KICK-OFF: Oldham Athletic get us underway.

0-0

2:56PM

So with the two teams set to emerge shortly, it's time for our pre-match predicitons. Both teams desperately need the three points today with Swindon seeking to keep their playoffs dream alive and Oldham desperate to escape the League Two.


Joe's prediction: 0-1

Ryan's prediction: 2-0

2:49PM

In case you missed it earlier, Swindon Town announced the singing of right-back Mandela Egbo on a short-term deal until the end of the season. The 24-year-old has been training with Swindon since January and was targeting a move abroad. However after Joe Tomlinson's injury, Ben Garner decided to act, with Egbo now joining Swindon's ranks.

2:48PM

Well, the players have just gone back down the tunnel following their respective warm-ups and will be back out in around 10 minutes time for kick off. The County Ground is starting to fill up nicely with many expecting a lively atmosphere and plenty of frustration being shown to ex-Swindon boss John Sheridan.

2:44PM

John Sheridan returns to a packed County Ground for the first time following his departure as Swindon Town manager last season. The 57-year-old remains unchanged following last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Carlisle.
