Robbo Ready For First Start

Last updated : 13 September 2005 By Richard Evans
Swansea manager Kenny Jackett will be forced to make at least three changes to the side that battered Bristol City 7-1 at the weekend, leaving Andy Robinson set to make his first start of the season. Injuries to Bayo Akinfenwa and Leon Britton, plus a suspension for Kevin Austin, means that Robinson is likely to slot in the midfield as Swansea look to fight their way to top spot.

Garry Monk is also set for his first football since the opening day of the season, when he was stretchered off in the first half against promotion-hopefuls Tranmere. The only other change will see Paul Connor restored to the starting line-up, for the first time since his match-winning performance at Walsall three games ago.

Injuries to Owain Tudur-Jones, Kris O'Leary and Adrian Forbes means the trio remain unavailable, whilst Christian Edwards is likely to be recalled to the substitute's bench alongside youngster Shaun McDonald.
