A WORD FROM BOTH CAMPS:
Luke Williams, Swindon Town Head Coach: “We have to have balance, we have to remain calm under pressure and I’m trying to come up with a calculated approach for the next two games.
“I believe that this Scunthorpe United team is very professional and I don’t think they will give us anything at all.
“They’re in as good form as anybody else, they are a good team and it is going to be a tough game for us.
“We can win.”
Graham Alexander, Scunthorpe United Manager: “There’s still six points to play for before the end of the regular season, and we’re going to give it our best shot to win them.
“Swindon are of course desperate to win the points, but their motivation is no bigger than ours - we want those points.
“We know of Swindon’s qualities.
“They’re a similar opponent in terms of style as MK Dons. They’ve got a lot of technical players who are good on the ball.
“We have to be wary of that but we have to make sure we go there and perform to our maximum level as well.”
