GRIMSBY return to action against Swindon tonight hoping for an improvement after four consecutive home games without a goal. If Town fail to win it will increase the pressure on manager Russell Slade.

Slade was forced to make several changes for the defeat to Carlisle, but he has to option of reversing one of them as left-back Paul Dixon is available again after his one-match suspension. Martyn Woolford (illness) is more likely than James Berrett (back) to be involved. Midfielder Jamey Osborne is unlikely to get further than the bench, although it was a welcome return for the Town midfielder in his first outing of the season when he came on against the Cumbrians.

Swindon are challenging at the business end of the table and have 13 points from the last 6 games which put them top of the form table, and they have won an impressive 7 away games, the best record in the league. Midfielders Timi Elsnik (muscle strain) and Amine Linganzi (hamstring) and left-back Chris Hussey (groin) are all doubts for the Robbins.
