After a positive week that saw Swindon pick up five points against Walsall, Barnet, and Bristol Rovers, there is suddenly some expectation for Town to follow that up against struggling Rotherham at the Nigel Eady County Ground this weekend.

Swindon knocked The Millers out of the FA Cup a year ago on Sunday in a dismal season that saw them relegated from League One, and they have not turned things around since.

Two wins from 13 games has Rotherham in 22nd, with their new duo of Steve McClaren as Director of Football and Alex Bruce as Head Coach struggling so far, as they have not won a game since September.

Although they are still dangerous, with their 17 goals the most of any side in the bottom half of the table, even if they they have conceded more goals than anyone else in League Two.

This weekend will see George Sebine and Lenny Agbaire return to the squad, even if there are doubts over Klaidi Lolos being ready to play, and Fabio Tavares and Jamie Jellis ruled out.

Rotherham’s struggles are a slight surprise, given some of the quality that they added this summer, but two players familiar to Swindon are the danger men.

So far this season, Mullin has netted eight goals, the same as Aaron Drinan, and Nemane is their only other player to net more than once.

The 29-year-old was a key target for Swindon this summer as they looked to bring in a winger, and they are sure to pay him extra attention now he lines up against them.

Mullin, who scored ten goals during the 2018/18 season for Town, has been razor-sharp in front of goal, outperforming his xG by 1.62 so far, converting 26.67 per cent of his shots, and only Drinan has hit the target as often as he has in League Two.

Bruce was glowing about the former Wrexham man ahead of this game, and Ian Holloway was equally wary of the threat Nemane carried.

The 29-year-old was a key target for Swindon this summer as they looked to bring in a winger, and they are sure to pay him extra attention now he lines up against them.

Holloway said: “It's about what he does on a regular basis: beating people. I had two other people on the list, and we didn't quite get that. Aaron Nemane knows how to beat someone; he knows how to pass it, follow his pass. He scored a brilliant goal against us last year. I thought he was very unlucky to be let go.”
