Swindon Town take on Newport County in League Two on Tuesday evening, following a 2-1 defeat to Northampton on Saturday.
It was a disappointing defeat for The Robins which ended a run of three consecutive wins, especially considering Town took the lead in the 61st minute.

But Swindon reporter Jack Bishop believes that the defeat is only a small concern, and Town fans should expect an improved performance tomorrow.
”Newport offers an opportunity to return to winning ways against a struggling side, despite their recent victory over top of the table Leyton Orient,” Bishop told Park Life Sport.
”It should be an exciting encounter, with both sides trying to play on the front foot, but I think Swindon will have the upper edge.
”The loss to the Cobblers was only a bump in the road and the three wins before that showed that the team is really coming together.”
Bishop also explained the rivalry between the two sides,, which should make for an excellent atmosphere at the County Ground.
”There’s often plenty of aggro between Swindon and Newport,” Bishop added. ”We don’t really like each other because of the England/Wales rivalry and the proximity of the two sides.
”A lot of [Swindon] fans enjoy this rivalry and that is why there should be a higher attendance than usual for a Tuesday night game.”
