Swindon return to home action for the first time in almost a month on Thursday when they host league leaders Somerset in the Premiership (7.30).
The reigning Champions have suffered consecutive hefty defeats on the road at the hands of Wolverhampton and Belle Vue – but still remain in second place just a single point behind Thursday’s opponents.
Still unbeaten at The Abbey Stadium though, Polish star Tobiasz Musielak is looking for more home comforts and insists there’s no panic within the camp.
“We should be satisfied so far in the league,” he said.
“I just think that being league champions makes other teams just want to beat us more; we are a big target.
“We are a very self-motivated team and we are determined to defend the league championship, every member of the team wants this so much.”
The CFS Filtration Robins will once again operate rider replacement for injured Frenchman David Bellego, while British Under-21 rider Ellis Perks guests for Zach Wajtknecht who remains ruled out after crashing last weekend.
Somerset are led by World Champion and last year’s Robins title winning No.1 Jason Doyle with former rider Bradley Wilson-Dean also included. Meanwhile Tero Aarnio stands in for Nico Covatti at reserve for the Rebels.
SWINDON: Nick Morris, David Bellego R/R, Adam Ellis, Tobiasz Musielak, Troy Batchelor, Ellis Perks, Jack Smith.
SOMERSET: Jason Doyle, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Aaron Summers, Richard Lawson, Jack Holder, Jake Allen, Tero Aarnio.
