Screwsbury have hit a bit of a resurgence since we played them when they were a really poor team with Ricketts in charge, they reminded me of where we are now with Sheridan in charge.
Since then they have had 4 draws, 2 defeats (Sunderland and Crewe at home on Tuesday) and 5 wins including away wins at Hull, Lincoln & Doncaster and home wins over Blackpool and Peterborough.
Their last 11 league games has finished DDDWWWDWLWL they will be a very different kettle of knobs than in the away game.
Their manager the Wurzel Cotterill is still in hospital so not fit enough to be back in the "driving seat" tomorrow.

They don't score many but also don't (normally) score many as during the lat 11 games I used for the form they have scored just 12 goals but conceded just 8.
In games between the 2 sides Swindon have won 30 drawn 17 and lost 16 with us scoring 96 times and conceding 80 goals.
We have only lost to them 4 times in the last 28 games with Town winning 17 times.
In games between the sides at the CG we have lost 6 times with us winning 18 of the 32 ties, scoring 54 times and conceding 29.
Shrewsbury have had 1 win at the CG since 1961 a run of 19 matches with us winning 13 of them, 5 ending in a draw.
