SWINDON Town defender Frazer Blake-Tracy believes passionate dressing-room discussions – which have sometimes involved people being separated this season – are a good thing as it shows players just want to win.

The 27-year-old revealed he and Remeao Hutton were embroiled in a heated exchange after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Stockport County due to the pair being at fault for the Hatters’ late winner.

A mix-up between the two following a Swindon free-kick high up on the left resulted in Blake-Tracy’s tame cross being cleared to Ryan Rydel, and the County man went on to set up Ryan Croasdale 10 minutes from time.

But Blake-Tracy said that, once the argument had run its course post-match, he shook hands with his teammate and there is no bad blood.

The Town defender admitted the emotional incident was certainly not the first this season, but it is all born out of a desperate desire to take three points.

Blake-Tracy said: “You guys don’t get to see what’s happening in the changing room, but there have been a lot more disagreements than just this one.

“There have been a few people getting separated because we want to win, we want to win games of football.

“Yeah, it was a genuine mistake by me and Huts [Remeao Hutton]. Maybe he should put it in straight away, maybe my delivery should be better, or maybe – once I give it back to him – he should put it in the box.

“We both take accountability for the genuine mistake. You guys don’t get to see what happens in the changing room, but there are definitely a few honest words said a lot of the time.”

With disagreements occurring in almost every dressing room up and down the country on a regular basis, Town’s fallout was no concern to those involved.

One of the club’s stand-out players this season of the opinion it is better to air issues than shrug your shoulders and move on.

Blake-Tracy said: “Everyone is still genuinely together, though.

“If everyone was to just go back in there and accept getting beat every week, and no one said anything, I’d be more concerned.

“What’s the point in playing football then if no one is going to say anything or try and lead the group?

“I enjoy that part of disagreements because you need to have some accountability. And long story short, you need to care about the job that you’re doing, so why not?”
