Match Preview

Douglas doubt for Robins Skipper Jonathan Douglas is Swindon`s only injury concern ahead of the visit of Sheffield Wednesday. The midfielder is making solid progress in his recovery from the groin injury he sustained during last Tuesday`s 1-0 defeat at Notts County, and manager Danny Wilson is hopeful he will be in contention to face the Owls. Douglas missed the club`s 1-1 FA Cup draw at Crawley a week ago - a game which saw the return of Town striker Vincent Pericard (groin), goalkeeper David Lucas (shoulder) and defender Kevin Amankwaah (knee) from their respective injuries. Loanee David Ball comes back into the equation having been ineligible for the cup encounter. The game sees boss Wilson come up against the Yorkshire club he both played for and managed, reaching three domestic cup finals in the early 1990s as a player, while assistant manager Peter Shirtliff, goalkeeper Lucas and midfielder Jon-Paul McGovern have also enjoyed memorable times with Wednesday in their careers. Sheffield Wednesday striker Neil Mellor is doubtful. Mellor is struggling with an ankle problem that forced him out of the action during the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Carlisle and faces a late fitness test. Paul Heffernan will be vying with Jermaine Johnson for a place up front alongside Clinton Morrison if Mellor fails to make it. Owls boss Alan Irvine could also be without defenders Lewis Buxton and Jon Otsemobor again. Buxton has been sidelined for three games with a hamstring problem and Otsemobor has missed the last five matches due to a calf strain. Irvine has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side chase a fourth successive league win.

Match Report

Robins on song Swindon claimed a vital three points to pull themselves away from the relegation zone with a 2-1 win in an entertaining clash with high-flying Sheffield Wednesday. Jon-Paul McGovern scored the winner for Danny Wilson`s men in the only game in League One to survive the big freeze. Swindon took the lead in the 24th minute in stunning fashion. Good work from McGovern down the right-hand side found Charlie Austin unmarked in the box. The red-hot Robins striker let fly with a sweetly struck volley that found the top right-hand corner of the net - his 13th goal of the season. Wednesday equalised five minutes later in controversial circumstances. Lewis Buxton ran into the penalty area and looked to have rounded Robins goalkeeper Phil Smith from six yards out to score. But Smith brought down Buxton for a certain penalty and red card. However, the referee waved play on and Clinton Morrison was there to tap into an empty net from a yard out. Swindon`s winner came from a long throw by Michael Rose which was flicked on by the towering Sean Morrison in the box and McGovern was on hand to guide it home past Nicky Weaver`s outstretched hand.
