SWINDON Town goalkeeper Lee Camp says there is no fear among the squad ahead of a difficult test at home to Peterborough United.

John Sheridan’s men currently hold the unwanted record of having the joint-worst defensive record in the league – having conceded 69 times – while Peterborough have scored the second most goals (67) behind league leaders, Hull City (68).

Many are expecting Posh to emerge from the County Ground comfortable winners on Saturday afternoon, however, an unconvincing away record suggests all might not be lost for Town.

Statistics aside, Camp believes enough hard work has been put in on the training ground to give his team more than a fighting chance against the League One heavyweights.

He said: “No, there is no fear there because we’ve worked hard this week. We’ve got no fear because it’s 11 players against 11.

“We’re a decent side ourselves going forward when we get Scott Twine and Jack Payne on the ball, when we get the wing-backs into play, and we’ve got two midfielders who can pass it around.

“I think we’ll cause them a threat, and we’ve shown in recent weeks that we can hurt teams and score goals.

“I don’t think they will be thinking it’s going to be one-way traffic either. They’ll know they’re coming into a game against a team that is desperate to get three points as well.”

If Town were to win, it would be Camp’s third success in five games since signing as Swindon’s seventh goalkeeper of the season.

Two of the Derby-born stopper’s first appearances in between the sticks resulted in wins and clean sheets, and those performances proved to Camp that the situation Town find themselves in could be contrived as slightly better than most think.

He said: “You can look at the situation we’re in in two ways. People can create pressure and stress from it or you can focus on trying to win football matches.

“I’ve been in this position in my career before – there is still a lot to play for and we’re by no means in any sort of position where we should be worrying about the worst-case scenario. We need to be looking forward and focusing on moving up the table instead of what’s behind us.

“We’ve got good games coming in the next couple of weeks which people will make out are must-win, creating pressure from the outside, but we have to remain focused, put our best foot forward and see where it takes us.”
