With Harrison Minturn still sidelined, and expected to be so for another few weeks, and Billy Kirkman recovering from an MCL strain, Holloway sees Freckleton as useful backup.
SCOUTING REPORT: No League Two goalkeeper has better long-ball accuracy than Ripley's 47.6 per cent this season. This is a particularly useful asset given Swindon’s success going direct to Harry Smith.

Holloway will be delighted with Ripley's signature, as he has spent the whole of the window searching for the relevant experience at the right price.

The Robins have made two signings during the window but, following a recent upturn in form, the need to recruit this month has become less pressing.

Scott Malone, who worked with Holloway at Millwall, is spending two days training with Town this week as he looks to find a new club. The 33-year-old has been without a contract since leaving Crawley Town in November.
Cox picked up the problem during the game against Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday (January 28). It has resulted in substantial swelling and bruising, and will mean he is unable to take part in the clash at Brunton Park on Saturday (February 1).
Be it through motivation, a sheer sense of will, or in consultation with the witchdoctors of west Wiltshire, Holloway has taken a group of down-on-their-luck and almost out-on-their-arse players and summoned a sleeping spirit inside them.

Swindon's turnaround has been achieved through a combination of low-risk defending, high-energy pressing, and the influence of Harry Smith up front. But there is still improvement to be had in one particular discipline: shooting.

On Monday (January 27), Swindon manager Ian Holloway confirmed one transfer could yet take place - however, he is growing increasingly pessimistic that it will be completed before the deadline on Monday (February 3).

McGregor has not played for Town since the defeat at Bradford City on December 14, due to a groin problem. However, he has been making good progress in his recovery and is now back on the grass with the rest of the Swindon squad.
Last week, members of the Joint Venture board were told that a meeting, scheduled to take place on Tuesday (January 28), needed to be put back. The meeting was due to provide an opportunity for the club to present four concept designs.
Since beating Northampton Town at Sixfields in their last outing of 2022, Swindon have just six away league victories to their name. That’s an average of one every 126 days.

Holloway has been impressed with the references he has received about the player from his contacts in the game, including Fylde head coach Kevin Phillips.

ANALYSIS: The Town boss has identified how reliant he and Swindon are on Smith to both create chances and score goals, despite his team's recent upturn in form.
Kirkman was withdrawn just eight minutes after coming on as a substitute at the County Ground on Saturday (January 18), and Swindon's initial fears were that he had suffered a tear of the medial collateral ligament in his knee.

Town manager Ian Holloway has become concerned that injury to Harry Smith during the final three months of the campaign would significantly disrupt his side's progress.
McGurk had struggled to win a place in Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway's side and was sent to Somerset on loan last month in an effort to get the midfielder gametime.

Against a Barrow side which promised little, and somehow ended up offering less, Swindon produced 90 minutes of hard, old-fashioned graft. A ‘football pre-Pep’ display. A get-things-done sort of display.
20.01.25Matchday
Swindon will send Kirkman for tests to identify just how bad the issue is. At its worst, an MCL tear could set a player back between two and three months, though the less severe end of scale can see a return within a few weeks.
