Swindon will once again be without influential midfielder Jonathan Douglas for the trip to Tranmere.

The Robins have keenly felt the former Leeds man's absence in the middle of the park as he serves a four-match suspension, with successive defeats in the two matches he has missed to date.

Wilson has already said his remaining players must prove they are not a one-man team but a lack of goals, and quality service to the frontmen, is hampering their chances.

Strike duo Billy Paynter and Charlie Austin pressed their claims for involvement with a brace apiece in a 4-1 midweek triumph for the reserves at Reading.

Midfielder Alan O'Brien continues his recovery from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since August but the clash at Prenton Park comes too soon for him, while defender Hasney Aljofree is also in a similar situation.

Kurt Hammonds (knee) is also close to making his comeback but winger Lloyd Macklin (fractured leg) and midfielder Yinka Casal (knee) remain out for the foreseeable future.
