ANALYSIS: If Town are going to be effective with Palmer up front, they need to give him the best possible chance of scoring. If there are limited outlets available to create those chances, Holloway must surely be thinking about shifting the team dynamic.

The FA applied a deadline of Thursday (January 22) for Swindon to submit their defence against the charge. The Moonraker understands the club lodged their evidence at the start of this week.

There remains room in the budget for further additions, with some wage commitments cleared by the departure of Ryan Delaney, and Finley Munroe’s return to Aston Villa and subsequent sale to Middlesbrough.

Manager Ian Holloway reported that the centre-back struggled through training at Beversbrook on Thursday (January 22). With that in mind, his participation in the top-of-the-table clash at the weekend is still in doubt.
ANALYSIS: It was hard to escape the sense of frustration and disappointment at the end of the match. From financial, morale and sporting points of view, this loss hits hard.

MACHEL HEWITT: Damola Ajayi has joined on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, which means another former Bromley boy has returned to the place where it all began.

Bodin has been intermittently involved in training since Boxing Day but has been unable to shake a niggling problem with a hamstring, which has caused him discomfort during sessions.
Look closely at the context of this game, and what is at stake, and its profile increases by several orders of magnitude. The age-old football cliché insists that every game is the biggest game. This one actually is.

MACHEL HEWITT: On a day when avoiding defeat was the main aim, Grant Smith came up trumps when it mattered most. For the record, that was his ninth clean sheet of the season. Only one keeper has more than him.

MACHEL HEWITT: Your average Chesterfield fan will approach the midday kick-off fearing one man and one man alone: Michael Cheek. The frontman now has 11 goals against them, and try as they might, the Blues find it very hard to prevent him from hitting the back of the net.

The Moonraker examines the cases of Aaron Drinan and Ollie Clarke, assesses the key points of debate, and asks: "what happens next?"

That a player of the clout and popularity of Finley Munroe can leave without the season immediately being plunged into peril is a very different aura for Swindon Town.

MACHEL HEWITT: Will Andy Woodman persuade some of the top performers in Premier League 2 to take a chance on a spell at Hayes Lane.

Holman, 21, arrives on one-and-a-half-year contract. He was in Wiltshire on Wednesday (January 14) to finalise the terms of the deal.
EXCLUSIVE: There was interest from the National League, but Delaney was keen to continue to test himself in the EFL. He leaves after playing 29 times for the Robins, scoring once.
EXCLUSIVE: While a deal is yet to be formalised, there is confidence that it could be done imminently. The Moonraker first reported Swindon’s interest in Holman earlier this month.
SCOUTING REPORT: Middlemas has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at the County Ground after leaving boyhood club Sunderland. But how does he fit into Ian Holloway’s plans? What does he offer to the Swindon team? And why did he choose Town?

Munroe trained as normal with Ian Holloway and the Town squad at Beversbrook on Monday afternoon, but was seen deep in conversation on the phone after the session. His recall was confirmed on Monday evening.

EXCLUSIVE: The Moonraker reported last week that a trio of teams had showed an interest in signing the Irishman. Now it can be confirmed that a deal has been put to Delaney from a club in Swindon’s division.
Munroe’s loan agreement includes a recall/return window that expires in the middle of January. At this stage, it appears increasingly likely Villa will activate the option, in order to facilitate a sale.
Ian Holloway has once again invested in a Premier League academy product with no first-team experience, as he did with Joe Snowdon and Filozofe Mabete in the summer.
ANDY HAMMOND: Tougher tests await Andy Woodman’s side, but putting points on the board against teams lower down the table is a must if Bromley are going to achieve their ambitions this season. Dare we say ‘just nine more wins’?
11.01.26Matchday
MACHEL HEWITT: Andy Woodman will also know that he has yet to win a match against Andy Crosby. They’ve only met twice, but still, there are very few managers in League Two who hold the potential mockers over Woodman.
