LIKELY LINE-UP:
ONE TO WATCH: Billy Kee
BILLY Kee may have seen his goals dry up in recent weeks but the striker remains the most potent weapon at Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman’s disposal.
Kee started the season in red hot form and scored 11 goals in his first 18 appearances.
The longest he went without scoring in that period was three matches but Kee’s return in front of goal has dipped during recent fixtures and the 27-year-old is currently on a run of eight games without a goal.
The former Leicester City trainee is currently in his third season with Stanley, having joined from Mansfield Town in the summer of 2015, and should he return to top form, 2017-18 should well be his most fruitful season in front of goal for the club, having struck 15 times last term and 17 the season before.
KEY BATTLE: Olly Lancashire v Kayden Jackson
A BIG reason behind Swindon Town’s drop in form of late has been their failure to keep clean sheets. David Flitcroft’s side have not recorded a shut-out in their last eight games.
The Town players will be well aware of the threat posed by Billy Kee at Accrington Stanley but skipper Olly Lancashire will also want to pay close attention to former Swindon Supermarine man Kayden Jackson, who will use his pace to run off Kee and cause problems of his own.
