MARCH could well turn out to be the make or break month for Swindon Town this season, and boss Danny Wilson believes he and his players have the formula to emerge unscathed.
After Saturday’s disappointing derby defeat to Bristol Rovers, Town have the ominous prospect of road trips to MK Dons, Brighton, Southampton and Hartlepool to tackle, along with the blockbuster home tie with runaway leaders Norwich before the month is up.
Whilst many League One teams may buckle under the pressure of such an intimidating run of fixtures, Wilson is confident his squad will negotiate themselves safely beyond Easter still firmly in the play-off places.
“If you look at it in the big picture it’s quite daunting,” said Wilson, pictured.
“But if you look at it as just one game, the others don’t come into the equation as yet.
“We know we can go and put on a good show. We just have to draw on the experiences we’ve had this season. We need to revisit the wins we’ve had and the performances we’ve had.
“We’ll look for three wins, but the first one is MK.
“If we get three points there then anything else will be a bonus. But I’m confident it’s not beyond us to win all of them.”
The Robins boss is still working on deals to bring new faces to the County Ground on a temporary basis.
And whilst any arrival is extremely unlikely to feature at stadium:mk tonight, Wilson is hopeful of having the security of further backup ahead of the trip to the south coast on Saturday.
“It would be difficult to put him in tomorrow,” he said of his unnamed target.
“It would be more that he agreed to come and then come and train with us with a view to taking part on Saturday.”
