Frampton in Robins frame

24 January 2011 16:30
Andy Frampton could well start against Tranmere while new signing Aden Flint may also be involved as Swindon boss Danny Wilson looks to shore up his leaky defence. Town`s rearguard has been their downfall so often this season and it was again the case on Saturday as Bristol Rovers claimed derby bragging rights with a 3-1 victory, leading to Wilson`s damning assessment of his backline. And the Robins boss may well have refreshing options for what he describes as "a massive game" against a Tranmere side just one place and one point above fifth-bottom Swindon in the table. Frampton returned to full training on Monday morning and is nearing full fitness after a groin strain, while Flint will also be in contention for his debut should Football League clearance arrive in time following Friday`s switch from non-league Alfreton Town. Elsewhere, left-back Michael Rose serves the second game of his three-match suspension while goalkeeper David Lucas remains sidelined with his knee injury but is making good progress.
