The Manager
Swindon Town are led by Mark Cooper, who during his playing days represented Birmingham City and Exeter City. Having being dragged out of non-league, Cooper was appointed Robins boss on 20 August 2013 after Kevin MacDonald was sacked. Mark is the son of former Leeds United player Terry Cooper.
Current Form (league games only)
Swindon Town: DLLD
Sheffield United: LWWW
A Foot In Both Camps...
Swindon have no former Sheffield United players on their books, but United should field Jay McEverley to face his former club. He had signed initially on loan from Barnsley in March 2012 and in the summer of that year it became a perminant deal on a free transfer. The Scot made 77 apearances (+2) without scoring.
Key Man
Assuming that this hot talent hasn't been sold prior to this weekend's game, Nathan Byrne, 23, who was linked with the Blades only last week, will no doubt be a troublesome opponent.
