Key Players
- Aaron Drinan
- Aaron Drinan has been in fantastic form for Swindon, netting 17 goals in 24 League Two appearances, and the Robins are a completely different team when he is in the starting line-up.
- The Irishman has four of the nine goals that Swindon have scored in their last five, so he is a consistent threat in the penalty box.
- George Lloyd
- George Lloyd is the top scorer for Shrewsbury with just three goals in 26 League Two outings, and they have been unable to create enough chances this season.
