Prediction: 0-2
Swindon
Holker Street will host Saturday’s football game between Barrow and Swindon, the two teams with totally different ambitions in the 2021/2022 season. Barrow aim to secure yet another League Two survival, whilst Swindon are eyeing promotion to the Championship. The hosts were not in action in midweek, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for them. Keep in mind, though, that Mark Cooper’s men failed to find the net in the previous four league fixtures.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Leyton. Since Swindon will not have a better chance than this to get back on course, away win should be considered. You should bear in mind that the Robins have already recorded seven wins on the road in the new League Two campaign.
Highlighted Player (Luke James):
After starting his senior career at Hartlepool United, Luke James moved to Peterborough United in 2014. The English attacker played for the likes of Bradford City and Bristol Rovers on loan as well before joining Forest Green in the 2017/18 season.
After making 14 appearances in the league for the Green Army, Luke James returned to Hartlepool. In the summer of 2020 he joined his current club Barrow. James made his Barrow debut in the League two on September 12, 2009 in a 1-1 draw with Stevenage, and he scored his first goal for the club the following month in a 2-2 draw with Walsall.
His main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a winger as well. Born in Amble, England on November 4, 1994, Luke James has a contract with Barrow until July 20, 2020. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Swindon):
Founded by Reverend William Pitt of Liddington in 1879, Swindon Town are an English football club which compete in the League Two. The Robins welcome their rivals at County Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 15,728 spectators (all-seated), with the team wearing red shirts and white shorts when playing at home.
Gray is the dominant colour of the club which turned professional in 1894. Oxford United are considered the team’s main rivals, but the Robins have rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Reading as well. In 1969 Swindon Town did remarkably well to win the English League Cup, with the team beating Arsenal 3-1 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
John Trollope is the club’s player with most appearances as he played 889 first-team games from 1960 to 1980. Premier League attacker Charlie Austin is one of the most notable footballers who played for Swindon Town in the past.
