LAST MEETING: Swindon Town 0 Leyton Orient 1 (League One 13-04-09).
This game was ‘mission complete’ for Geraint Williams, as Jason Demeteriou’s cracking long-range strike settled the affair and guaranteed League One status for another season.
HEAD TO HEAD: Swindon 24 wins, Leyton Orient 24 wins and 21 draws.
ABOUT THE OPPOSITION: The Robins are on the cusp of the play-off spots thanks to the manager Danny Wilson, who has been wise in the transfer market and got the team playing effective passing football. This is some turnaround by Wilson’s team. Last season they battled relegation with Orient and finished one place lower down the table.
DANGER MAN: Wilson recruit Jonathan Douglas has been a revelation in central midfield and is a class above League One. Jon Paul-McGovern can certainly pick a pass. He is the joint leader in the assists chart, with seven so far this season. William Paynter is top scorer with five goals in a side where 11 other players have chipped in with goals.
FUN FACT: Successful lounge-bar pianist Jamie Cullum is a Swindon Town FC fan. It is not clear if his super-model girlfriend Sophie Dahl has yet sampled the delights of Swindon’s County Ground home.
PREDICTION: Swindon 1 Orient 1.
MIDWEEK: The O's have no game in midweek.
