TOWN suffered a late blow before today's home game against Colchester United when keeper David Lucas was ruled out through injury.
The stopper appeared to fall awkwardly when making a routine save and is replaced by Phil Smith in the starting line-up, with Jakub Jesionkowski stepping up to the bench.
Lucas aside, boss Danny Wilson has made two other changes to his side from the 1-0 win over Yeovil last weekend.
Out go Billy Paynter and Anthony McNamee, who drop to the bench and are replaced in a three-pronged attack by Tope Obadeyi and Alex Revell.
Revell will make his Swindon debut afte signing on loan from Southend on transfer deadline day.
Goalkeeper David Lucas has been named among the starting line-up, but his place could be in doubt after twisting his knee in the warm-up.
