Patchett considers Risager merits

Swindon Robins co-owner Gary Patchett says he will be assessing the form of Morton Risager when Peterborough visit the Abbey Stadium on Thursday.

The Wiltshire club signed Risager last winter before sending him to the Panthers on a temporary basis.

Patchett told BBC Radio Swindon: "We've got a Swindon asset coming back, somebody that we'll look long and hard at for a first-team place next season."

A pay dispute means Peterborough will be without captain Hans Anderson.

Patchett is sympathetic about the situation in which Peterborough find themselves.

"It's a pity what's gone on. There's been whispers last year and this year and it's a shame," he said.

"It looks like there might be better news for them and I wish them all the best."

Swindon will again have guest rider Krzysztof Stojanowski in their line-up as they wait for new signing Jurica Pavlic to be granted a work permit.
