Everything you need to know ahead of tomorrow's match against Cheltenham Town...
TEAM NEWS:
Manager Paul Cox could welcome back defender John Dempster, who is available for selection again following a two-match suspension.
Nevertheless, both Ben Hutchinson and Sam Clucas remain sidelined through injury.
Meanwhile, Cheltenham could be without influential midfielder David Noble, who is expected to undergo a late fitness test.
The 31-year-old hobbled off with a knee injury an hour into the Robins' 1-0 victory over Exeter City on Boxing Day.
Should Noble miss out, team-mate Matt Richards could figure in Mark Yates' starting line-up.
RECENT FORM:
Our 3-0 defeat at Rochdale on Boxing Day extended our disappointing winless streak to 13 matches.
The loss also saw us slip to 21st position in Sky Bet League Two, with only Torquay United, Bury and Northampton Town now below us in the table.
By contrast, Cheltenham have been in superb form in recent weeks, and second only to Newport County in the current form table.
The Robins, who are just four points off the Play-Offs, are on an impressive 11-match unbeaten league run, during which they have kept six clean-sheets.
Mark Yates' team have been beaten just twice at Whaddon Road this term, but seven home draws have hindered their promotion aspirations.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS:
Goals from Richie Barker and Simon Brown earned us a 2-0 victory on our last visit to Whaddon Road in October 2005.
However, the Robins gained revenge with a 5-0 success in the reverse fixture in North Nottinghamshire on the final day of the 2005/06 campaign.
Furthermore, since their elevation to the Football League in 1999, Cheltenham also boast the superior head-to-head record.
They have registered eight victories, compared to our five, with just the one draw, which occured in August 2000.
No fewer than 45 goals have been scored between the two teams in our 14 previous meetings, but interestingly, 14 of those goals have been scored in the final 10 minutes.
