Barnet V Swindon at Hive Stadium : Match Preview

31 December 2017 16:00
David Flitcroft unlikely to change Swindon side for trip to Barnet

Craig Ross is likely to continue in goal for Barnet for the Sky Bet League Two visit of Swindon.

Ross deputised for Jamie Stephens on Saturday with the Bees number one struggling with a hamstring injury sustained on Boxing Day.

Defender Dwight Pascal is hoping to return to the squad after being left out for the last two games following the completion of a three-match ban.

Forwards Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Dave Tarpey, midfielder Curtis Weston, full-back Elliott Johnson (all knee) and defender Harry Taylor (foot) are unlikely to return.

Swindon manager David Flitcroft could name an unchanged side.

The Robins boss shook things up following the 5-0 loss to Luton on Boxing Day, making four changes for the clash with high-flying Notts County on Saturday.

Reice Charles-Cook, Kyle Knoyle, Chris Robertson and Ellis Iandolo all started and earned praise from Flitcroft after a 1-0 victory.

Lawrence Vigouroux, Ben Purkiss, Matty Taylor and Paul Mullin dropped to the bench and look set to have to wait for another chance.
