Wanderers will be aiming to keep the pressure on the top four when they welcome Cheltenham to the UniBol this weekend.
Ian Evatt’s men enter the game in high spirits following a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Charlton last weekend in front of the TV cameras.
The Whites currently sit fifth in the League One table – only behind fourth-place Derby on goal difference.
Team news
George Johnston is set to be out of action for several weeks after suffering an ankle sprain against Charlton.
Shola Shoretire was also forced off with a back issue at the Valley, but the Manchester United loanee is back available.
Randell Williams has been dealing with a minor hamstring strain, while Dan Nlundulu and George Thomason are getting closer to a return to action.
As for the visitors, Aidan Keena could make his debut after joining from League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
Opposition lowdown
Cheltenham find themselves 18th in the table – four points above the drop zone at this stage of the campaign.
The Robins are without a win in their last five league matches following last weekend’s goalless draw against Port Vale.
Dan Nlundulu spent the first half of the season at Whaddon Road, scoring five goals in 27 appearances for Wade Elliott’s side.
Head-to-head
Wanderers have only faced Cheltenham six times in their history, with a record of two wins, two draws and two defeat.
The Robins recorded a 1-0 victory when the sides met at Whaddon Road back in October, with Ryan Broom getting the decisive goal three minutes from time.
The Whites’ last win in the fixture came last April when goals from Kieran Sadlier and Amadou Bakayoko secured a 2-1 victory on the road.
The points were shared when the sides met at the UniBol last season, with Xavier Amaechi and Elias Kachunga both getting on the scoresheet.
