Injured players returning, a fresh manager and coaching staff. It's fair to say nobody has any idea what our starting eleven will be at this moment in time, not even Iron Mike, definitely not Swindon.
Could this work to our advantage? I reckon there's a 50/50 chance, either it will, or it won't.
As for Swindon. The addition of Danny Butterworth has inspired them to be unbeaten in two games. Butterworth nabbed a 98th minute equaliser at Lancashire high flyers Barrow two weeks ago and he inspired them to a 4-0 thrashing of Newport last weekend, with goals flying in from all angles.
Swindon played a 3-5-2 formation against Newport with Butterworth as an "8", a position the late Paul Simpson refused to start him in. And it's maybe a symptom of Swindon's average start to the season Butterworth is joint leading scorer with 1 goal, and with a single assist he's just about their most influential player. Central defender Will Wright shares this honour.
Defeats have arrived to top of the table Notts County and a 4-0 thrashing by fourth placed Walsall, both games at home. Their other league games have been draws. It's fair to say this is a less than auspicious start for Mark Kennedy after an extremely average tenure at Lincoln.
Could we get something out of the game? Law of averages says we're bound to pick up a result somewhere sooner of later.
Prediction: Flip a coin you have a 50/50 chance. But if pressed, back 0-0.
