A WORD FROM THE TOWN CAMP:
Luke Williams, Swindon Town Head Coach: “Gillingham are a difficult opponent to play against – they’ve got plenty of know-how and plenty of pace and power, but they’ve struggled this season.
“We want to drag everyone back in and the more teams below us the better. If we can inflict some damage on the opposition, then fantastic.
“It appears over the last two games that the players are more capable of dealing with pressure – hopefully that will be evident on Tuesday.
“The last two performances have been very good and it was a decent points return, but we need to continue in that way.”
