Forest Green Rovers make the short trip to table-toppers Swindon Town tomorrow, with the two sides going head to head at The County Ground.

Late drama saw Rovers rescue a point in the final game before Christmas when the sides last met, as Joseph Mill’s 95th-minute effort levelled the score at 2-2.

Here is all you need to know ahead of the game…

What we said:

“You want to try and have a way of playing so you don’t change too many things. Certainly, with some of the pitches, you’ve got to be able to adapt," said boss Mark Cooper.

“We’re going to a big stadium, a really big crowd, a really big atmosphere and a nice pitch, what’s not to like about that?

“Football sometimes throws up some strange results and I am sure nobody really gives us much of a chance but we’re confident and we’re looking forward to the game."

Injury news:

Forest Green:

Forest Green Rovers remain without full-backs Liam Shephard and Joseph Mills, while central defenders Matt Mills and Farrend Rawson have both been side-lined in the last week.

Swindon:

Captain Dion Conroy and defender Ellis Iandolo both look set to be out for the rest of the season following ligament injuries, while Mathieu Baudry is also unlikely to feature this weekend with a knee injury.

About: Swindon

High-flying Swindon Town are enjoying life at the top of League Two, with a 12-game unbeaten run at home helping to hold off the rest of the pack.

Consistency has been key for Robins this season, rarely dropping out of the play-off spots, and while other sides have risen and fallen throughout the season, Richie Wellens’ men have been ever present thanks to goals from Eoin Doyle and Jerry Yates.

Key Player: Eoin Doyle

League top scorer Eoin Doyle has been in red-hot form all season, notching 25 goals and averaging a strike every 96 minutes.

Having originally joined Swindon on loan from Bradford City at the start of the campaign, the Ginger Pele – as he affectionately known by Town fans – signed a permanent deal at the end of January.

The 31-year-old began his career with Shelbourne in Ireland, before moving to Shamrock Rovers, Sligo Rovers and Hibernian before moving to England.

After a spell with Chesterfield, where he helped them earn promotion to League One before scooping a player of the month award the following September, Doyle joined Cardiff City in the Championship.

It was after time at both Preston North End and Oldham Athletic that Doyle joined Bradford in August 2018, but 11 goals in 49 games saw him offered the chance to play for Richie Wellens side.

Last time we met:

Forest Green Rovers came from two goals down to secure a point against league-leaders Swindon Town thanks to a brace from captain Joseph Mills.

Eoin Doyle struck in the 15th and 35th minute of a dominant first half for the visitors, but the tides turned in the second period, with a goal early from Joseph Mills before he struck in the 95th minute to level.

It was in the 15th minute that Swindon took the lead as Doyle continued his hot-streak.

Rob Hunt was able to work himself space down the left wing before firing in low and through a host of bodies, the on-loan Bradford striker was able to get the telling touch, firing low into the corner.

In the 35th minute, Doyle was doubling Swindon’s lead, latching onto a flicked ball from a Swindon head down the right, and he made no mistake as he found the far corner with a bullet.

The lifeline for Forest Green came in the 55th minute through skipper Joseph Mills.

Shephard zipped a cross in from the right, and it travelled all the way through to the back post, where his fellow full-back was arriving to fire home into an empty net.

It was almost a leveller minutes later when Shephard got the ball in from the right again, Adams sliding in with a Swindon body, but they had to settle for a corner, which proved fruitless.

It was deep into added time that Forest Green pulled off the comeback, making the most of five minutes added on.

Goalkeeper Smith was sent up for the corner and rose highest, his header being flicked on once more by Adams, with Joseph Mills popping up at the back post to see his effort loop in.

Head-to-head:

Of the eight times Swindon and Forest Green have met, it’s the Robins who lead the head-to-head stats with four wins.

The other four games have season Rovers come away with two victories, the points shared on two occasions.
