Swindon warned of Pirates threat

Alun Rossiter
Rossiter thinks Poole are more dangerous than their position suggests

Swindon boss Alun Rossiter has warned his team not to take Poole lightly, when they visit the Abbey Stadium on Thursday at 1930 BST.

The Robins have a perfect home record, while their opponents are bottom of the Elite League with just two wins.

But the Pirates were the only team to beat Swindon at home last season and Rossiter told BBC Wiltshire they traditionally do well against Swindon.

"I know Poole have struggled, but they usually give us a good run here."

A win would move Swindon back to the top of the Elite League table, but Rossiter thinks it is too early in the season to pay much attention to that.

"We're not getting carried away, we're keeping our feet firmly on the ground," he said.

Ryan Fisher returns to the Robins line-up at reserve, having missed the win over Belle Vue last week.
