So will Swindon offer the Lions a bigger challenge than Tranmere did last week?

Okay, that's probably an unfair question. They couldn't be worse than Tranmere, even if they stayed at home with their knees taped together and decided to take a hot bath through most of the first half.

So the chances are that we won't be seeing another five goal haul from the South Londoners this weekend as they make the trip to Swindon, the team currently sitting in the last spot of the playoff bracket.

An away win won't see Millwall leapfrog the Robins, as they're clear by four points. But it will add a sliver of consistency to a season that's been blighted by injury.

Another player hobbled into the treatment queue recently, as Ali Fuseini tore a medial knee ligament and booked himself six weeks out of action. Darren Ward is also out for a few weeks, but Ashley Grimes should be available and long-term absentee Paul Robinson is close to a return.

Swindon are hardly renting their empty physio space out for children's parties either. It's currently being filled by Tope Obadeyi, Lloyd Macklin, Hasney Aljofree and Alan O'Brien.

The home side are currently unbeated this season at the County Ground, and won their last game 3-2 at Brentford.

Kick-off is 3pm on Saturday.
