Match Preview
Baldwin set for Shrimpers start Pat Baldwin is in line to make his first start since he rejoined Southend when they host Swindon in a top-of-the-table clash. The 29-year-old centre-back joined the Shrimpers on a free transfer until the end of the season from Colchester on Friday and could slot straight into the heart of defence. Baldwin previously spent time on loan at Roots Hall during the 2009/10 season when he made 18 appearances. Manager Paul Sturrock does have two injury concerns as his side bid to return to the summit of the npower League Two table. Defender Mark Phillips is battling a groin problem while midfielder Jean-Paul Kalala is struggling with a hamstring strain. The pair had to come off in the Shrimpers' 2-1 defeat to Shrewsbury and will be handed late fitness tests with Sturrock mindful of forthcoming clashes with Plymouth and Rotherham. Swindon will be without injured centre-back Aden Flint. Flint, who has impressed at the heart of the the Robins' defence this season, has a groin problem which kept him out of the 2-0 FA Cup fourth-round defeat to Leicester on Saturday. Meanwhile, forward Billy Bodin may not be included in the matchday squad, with the Wales Under-21 international set to leave the County Ground before the January transfer window closes on Tuesday night. Striker Mehdi Kerrouche will not feature for manager Paolo Di Canio. The Algerian has not played since the 1-1 draw at Bristol Rovers on December 10 and the Wiltshire club hope to offload him before the window slams shut. Luke Rooney is available to Di Canio once again after the winger was cup-tied for the trip to Leicester.

Match Report
Robins overtake Shrimpers with win Swindon deposed Southend from second place in npower League Two on goal difference courtesy of a comfortable 4-1 victory at Roots Hall. The visitors opened their account after nine minutes when Ronan Murray's effort cannoned off the right post and Matt Ritchie drilled in the follow-up from 18 yards. Things got better for Paulo Di Canio's team six minutes later when Ritchie's deep cross from the right found Joe Devera at the back post and he headed back across goal for an unmarked Jonathan Smith to score from six yards. Southend pulled one back after 34 minutes when Sean Clohessy's cross was cleared by Smith to Jean-Paul Kalala, whose 25-yard shot went in off the left post. But Swindon restored their two-goal advantage in the 27th minute when Devera had a free header at the back post from Ritchie's corner from the right. Substitute Billy Bodin had only been on the pitch five minutes when he made it 4-1 in the 55th minute. Ritchie's cross from the right was palmed by Glenn Morris into the striker's path and he shot low into the centre of the goal from 16 yards. Southend dropped a place to third following their heaviest home defeat of the season, with Swindon climbing from sixth spot.
