GILLINGHAM v TOWN: Di Canio makes eight changes
2:36pm Saturday 21st April 2012 in Sport By Andy Warren
SWINDON boss Paolo Di Canio has made eight changes to the side that lost at Aldershot for today’s game with Gillingham.
Wes Foderingham, Joe Devera, Luke Rooney and Lee Cox are not involved as the fall-out from last Saturday continues, so Phil Smith starts in goal for Town this afternoon.
Devera picked up an injury at the EBB Stadium on Tuesday and was struggling to be fit anyway, while it is thought Rooney could not have played due an agreement in his transfer from Priestfield to the County Ground earlier in the season.
In the absence of Devera, Aden Flint partners Alan McCormack at the centre of the defence while Jay McEveley returns at left back.
Simon Ferry is back in the centre of a five man midfield alongside Oliver Risser and John Bostock, who will be looking to impress having played a limited role since joining the club on loan.
There is also a welcome return to the side for Matt Ritchie, who alongside Lee Holmes will provide some width and support for lone striker Alan Connell.
A point for Town will secure promotion, while three could make sure of the League Two title if Shrewsbury do not beat Accrington.
Town team: Smith; Caddis (capt), McCormack, Flint, McEveley; Ritchie, Ferry, Risser, Bostock, Holmes; Connell.
Subs: Scott (GK), Gabilondo, Murray, Smith J, Thompson N

Hope Bostock and Connell grab their chance and Ritchie is fully fit
.
Shows our strength in depth as that is still one of the best sides in this league - and has 8 new faces!

murray coming on for Connell, i know i'm not there i know but i can't believe that. So hope i'm proved wrong and Murray scores but for me Connell is miles better and commentary implies Connell done little wrong

1 why smith in goal
2 why play 1 up front
3 why take connell off and bring on ramsey when i believe formation shud have changed to a 4-4-2, after going 1 down

..
That would put us 5pts ahead with 1 game to go..have to say I'm surprised at the team but PDC has put us top of the table and I'm backing to do what he sees fit.
..
Crawley and Torquay both drawing so we'll have the 'P' against our name if that stays as is.

A 3pt lead going into next Saturday and it would be one hell of an atmosphere. I really don't want to be going to Bradford needing a point for the title.

Small wonder that them and Oxford are the two teams at the foot of the fair play league.
The good news is that neither of them look as though they'll manage to capture a place in the play-offs.
Ah well, next season they can have another go at fouling their way out of League Two.
I won't be wasting my money on backing either of them to do so.
