Andy King. . Ex-Mansfield manager who took over the Robins in November 2000. He was replaced within a year by Roy Evans, until he was re-instated in 2001. Starting to win over the fans and looks likely to guide Town to a play off spot come the end of the year. Former assistant for a brief time to ex Mariners manager Kenny Swain.
In attack, the Robins have perhaps two of the best strikers in the division in the experience of Tommy Mooney (left) and the goals of Sam Parkin, whom between them have scored 36 goals so far this season. In goal will be the young Rhys Evans whilst the midfield will feature the creativity of Sammy Igoe.

| It was after the ever memorable and embarrassing 8-1 thumping from Hartepool that Town met Swindon at Blundell Park. Indeed, Town play Hartlepool on Saturday, looking to avenge that defeat. Michael Boulding gave Town the lead in the 23rd minute, but never really in the game, Town let the lead slip with Andy Gurney and Tommy Mooney netting for the Robins to inflict a second defeat in 5 days for Town.
Town Team: Davison, McDermott, Crane, Ford, Barnard, Cas, Bolder (Crowe, 89), Hockless (Soames, 73), Campbell, Rowan (Nimmo, 39), Boulding
Swindon Team: Evans, Heywood, Ifil, Viveash, Miglioranzi, Hewlett, Milner, Gurney, Duke, Mooney, Parkin Attendance: 3,535 Report Swindon Head-to-Head (65th on The Opposition Ladder).
