CHESTERFIELD manager Danny Wilson is eyeing up a scalp against his former side to help ease their relegation worries.

Both sides, who were competing for the play-off places this time last year, go into the County Ground game this afternoon knowing that a win will secure their place in League One for next season, with Swindon knowing that they can even afford to slip up if Blackpool fail to win.

With those pressures on the game, Wilson is not anticipating a contest for the neutrals and is hoping his side can roll up their sleeves and claim the win any way possible.

“We’re all itching to go and get into Swindon and hopefully come back with a good result,” he said.

“Even Swindon are not safe.

“They might think they are but they’re not safe. They’re still in and around us and we can go above them, so they can’t be safe.

“We have to go there with a real determination to go and get something and return home with it.

“Whether we can get away from the situation we’re in, I don’t know but it would certainly keep Swindon in and around us.

“It’s not a situation where you’re going to get fast, free-flowing football, simply because of the situation we’re in.

“You only need to look around at some of the results in and around us to understand how tough it is to get points at this level.

“The remit is to stay in this league, you’ve just got to get the points accumulated and move on after that.

“It’s a real battle and a scrap.”

Wilson will be wary of Town’s frontline of Nicky Ajose and Jonathan Obika, with the Spireites having only kept one clean sheet in their last eight games.

“In a team that have struggled a bit, Ajose has been one of their (Town’s) shining lights,” he added.

“He has scored a lot of goals and is top goal scorer in the league so he is someone you have to be very respectful to.

“Jon Obika as well, who plays alongside him, is a very good player – I know Jon from having him on loan.

“I know those two will make a fine pair up front and we have to be on our toes with them.

“But they do concede goals as well. They haven’t been the strongest in terms of keeping clean sheets, a little bit similar to us I suppose in that respect - having to score two goals to win a game.”
