LAST TOWN MATCH: 2-1 County win - Apr 2018
ONE TO WATCH: Padraig Amond
STRIKER Padraig Amond is not only a scorer, the 30-year-old is a provider too with three goals and two assists to his name already this season.
The former Shamrock Rovers frontman has been prolific at this level previously, last season he notched 15 times in 55 appearances.
Amond has dipped between League Two and the National League, but has been a regular scorer at both levels.
With Swindon’s defence a little inexperienced, the Irishman could prove to be a real test to those who come up against him this evening.
KEY BATTLE: Matthew Dolan v Kyle Knoyle
DESPITE his sending off in Swindon Town’s 1-0 League Two win over Morecambe at the weekend, the former West Ham man is still able to feature for Phil Brown’s side.
This time the youngster will come up Dolan on the left-hand side for the Welsh team, and the County man has made a reasonable start to the campaign with one goal and one assist so far.
Dolan signed for Newport last term, but with experience from a higher level, such as a handful of games for Bradford City, he could provide a threat to Swindon.
