Building up to tonight's match we attended the Swindon Town press conference this morning and got the thoughts of assistant manager Tommy Wright. We've included some of his most important points below for you to muse over.

Wright on Jaiyesimi departure:

"The thing is he had a clause in his contract if a certain amount of money was met he could leave and that clause was met. We didn't want to lose him. We got DJ on a free and he is gone too soon. The clause in the contract was for a substantial amount so the club has covered themselves financially. He's gone and we wish him all the best."

Wright on Freeman departure:

We needed him and we saw during his limited appearances that he was getting better. It was a strange one but he was determined to leave once he knew Swansea was in for him. It's disappointing though and he has moved on. He was very demanding that he did want to leave the club.

And now let's take a look at how Wigan line-up.

J.Jones (Capt), Dariwka, Wootton, Tilt, Pearce, Ojo, Merrie, Gardner, Clough, Lang, Keane

After a devastating transfer deadline day that saw Swindon lose multiple key players including Matt Smith and Diallang Jaiyesimi, manager John Sheridan has decided to make 3 changes to the side that lost at Hull.
