Swindon Town return to St. James Park for the second time in seven days to take on Exeter City in the Johnstone`s Paint Trophy.
The Grecians were fortunate to rescue a point in last Tuesday`s league 1 encounter with a late goal from Richard Logan. Both teams won at the weekend, with our visitors winning 3-2 away at Brentford to ensure they remain unbeaten in the last ten league games.
Exeter City Team News:
Changes will surely be made to both teams, although Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale told the Exeter Express and Echo that the club`s disappointing record in cup competitions since he has been at the helm is not for the want of trying.
You can never second guess Tisdale`s selections, but I reckon Richard Logan may get a chance to prove himself from the start, especially after his late leveller last week. I`m not sure whether the centre back partnership will be broken up for this match, but expect a couple of changes in personnel in the middle of the park.
Player to watch: Richard Logan
If he plays he will have a point to prove
