Swindon are hoping for a repeat of their victory over Peterborough last week (Les Aubrey)

Manuel Hauzinger will make his Swindon debut on Thursday against Eastbourne at the Abbey Stadium.

The Austrian rider has replaced Theo Pijper as a reserve in the Robins team.

Swindon lost at Eastbourne last Saturday and co-promoter Gary Patchett told BBC Radio Swindon not to expect too much too soon from Hauzinger.

"He's only got a six and a half point average in the Premier League so don't expect him to be pulling up any trees," said Patchett.

"But he's keen, he can be fast and he's got some good backing.

"He's going to be living in Swindon so he's going to be committed to our team and our team only and we're looking forward to it very much."
