Defenders? Who needs defenders? How Swindon Town can make up for their mass absenteeism this weekend

The Robins have had their issues with fitness across the squad throughout the campaign, as well as in pre-season. Rarely, though, has there been a situation where so many players in one specific position have been absent, as is the case at the moment.

Stephan Negru is away on international duty with Moldova, Ryan Tafazolli remains sidelined with a long-term toe injury, and Billy Kirkman has recently been ruled out with a minor knock of his own.
