Forest will be hoping lightning does strike twice on Saturday as Swindon visit the City Ground. The last season the two clubs were in the same division (2005/06) Swindon won the game at the County Ground 2-1 only for Forest to win at the City Ground 7-1. Only a month ago Swindon won 2-1 at home so that means Forest will win their home game … (well I can dream).

Swindon still harbour play off ambitions and these ambitions were fuelled following a new board and manager Maurice Malpas arriving just before Forest’s visit to Swindon in January.

Swindon are currently in 10th position following Tuesday night’s 3-0 win against Cheltenham.
