Match Preview
Flint is Robins' only absentee Swindon will continue to be without injured centre-back Aden Flint when they entertain Dagenham in npower League Two on Tuesday. The towering defender is still recovering from a long-term groin problem and will not be available to manager Paolo Di Canio at the County Ground. Otherwise, Di Canio's squad has a full bill of health, although the Italian has hinted he is likely to make several changes to his starting line-up after his side's 10-match winning streak was ended abruptly by a 2-0 defeat at local rivals Oxford on Saturday. Di Canio said: "We may make changes. Some players need room to breathe and to recover. Others are full of energy and we have crucial games now. "We have many players to choose from. Now we have a very strong group and we will pick who is the best at the moment for the game." Callum Kennedy is likely to replace Alessandro Cibocchi at left-back, while striker Paul Benson may be rested. Ahmed Abdulla is in contention to make his second debut for Dagenham. The midfielder rejoined the Daggers on Monday on a short-term deal until the end of the season having enjoyed six loan appearances in January prior to his release by West Ham. Abdulla's arrival could be a timely one with Saturday's matchwinner Matthew Saunders a doubt to face the Robins. Saunders sustained an ankle injury in the build-up to his stunning free-kick which settled a 1-0 victory over Bradford, forcing him off just a minute later. Elsewhere, changes are expected to be at a minimum with Dagenham having taken seven points from the last nine on offer to boost their survival chances. Manager John Still opted to keep faith with goalkeeper Jonathan Bond at the weekend despite Chris Lewington's return from suspension, and the Watford loanee is expected to remain between the sticks at the County Ground.

Match Report
Robins sweep Daggers aside Swindon moved six points clear at the top of npower League Two with a comfortable 4-0 win at home to 10-man Dagenham. Goals from Billy Bodin, Joe Devera, Luke Rooney and Paul Benson coupled with Dagenham striker Josh Scott's sending off helped Paolo Di Canio's side clinch an 11th win in 12 matches. Bodin was unlucky not to put Swindon in front after dancing past two Daggers defenders before his left-footed shot rebounded off a post. The striker did not have to wait long to get on the scoresheet, sliding in to turn home Benson's cross on 22 minutes. Dagenham's evening got worse 11 minutes before half time when Scott was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Oliver Risser. Devera headed Swindon's second from substitute Rooney's corner in the 59th minute before Rooney himself found the net four minutes later with a fierce right-footed drive. Former Daggers striker Benson tapped in Rooney's cross on the line 15 minutes from time to cap an easy win.
