TOWN v FOREST: Trialist Dossevi starts in friendly


TRIALIST striker Thomas Dossevi is handed a start for Town in this afternoon's friendly against Nottingham Forest at the County Ground.

The Togo international, 31, was released from French outfit Nantes at the end of last season and is bidding to earn himself a contract at the County Ground.

Dossevi will line up alongside Vincent Pericard, with Charlie Austin named among the substitutes.

Aside from that, Swindon boss Danny Wilson has named arguably his strongest line-up, with Lecsinel Jean-Francois getting the nod to partner Scott Cuthbert at the heart of their defence.

And Manchester City loanee David Ball is given the chance to impress the County Ground faithful as he starts on the left wing.

TOWN (4-4-2): David Lucas; Kevin Amankwaah, Scott Cuthbert, Lecsinel Jean-Francois, Michael Rose; Jon-Paul McGovern, Jonathan Douglas (c), David Prutton, David Ball; Thomas Dossevi, Vincent Pericard

Subs: Phil Smith, Nathan Thompson, Callum Kennedy, Sean Morrison, Will Evans, Michael Timlin, Alan O'Brien, Billy Bodin, Charlie Austin

FOREST (4-4-2): Lee Camp; Chris Gunter, Luke Chambers, Kelvin Wilson, Chris Cohen; Gareth McCleary, Radoslaw Majewski, Lewis McGugan, Guy Moussi; Robert Earnshaw, Dele Adebola

Subs: Karl Darlow, Julian Bennett, Robbie Gibbons, Kieran Freeman, Tom Mullen, Matt Thornhill, Brendan Moloney

REFEREE: Andy Woolmer (Northamptonshire)

Looked on the BBC website and our friendly fixture isn't taking place.... yet AGAIN!! For some reason our fixtures never show on the BBC site - neither did they do so last year, which just goes to shoe how reliable the BBC site is.
Swindon Town v Nottm For - a big enough game with 2 play-off contenders from last year going head to head.

StrattonRed : A ten man team has been announced by the Adver to fool the Forest manager ! Danny Wilson has just emailed me to inform me that Rose will play in that position as from 15.00 hours.

Nine Town substitutions were planned apparently . Let`s hope that Pericard and Austin also find the net. Wonder what the attendance is. 5000 ?

Nice to see the same old people having posted on here during the game. New season - same old F*rts attached to their computers. Too busy to go and see the game. If you are that worried about who scores, what the attendance was etc etc then get your ars* down to the game. You all missed a good one for pre-season. Look forward to reading your comments posted during the game next week on my return home after securing our first three points of the season.

After witnessing his display today I really hope we can get him to sign for us. Looks like a Turkish team are also looking to sign him according to the Nantes website.
