10:29AM

Conroy on relegation battle:


"It's always stressful and every season there is always stress whether you're fighting to stay up or trying to win the league.


Everyone is coping with it well and we are all working hard every single day to improve our situation and take. something from these games."


10:28AM

Conroy on Sheridan:


"Every manager has a different style of play and I enjoy playing under John Sheridan.


When we get the ball down and we play we look like a good team.


The more confidence we have In ourselves I think the better we will play.


Confidence is his at the minute."


10:27AM

Conroy on this season:


"For me last year I was still learning to walk again at this stage of the season.


Last season hasn't really come into my head at all."


10:26AM

Conroy on upcoming Oxford game:


"Honestly all we are looking forward to at the minute is the game tomorrow.


We win tomorrow and then al our attention will be on Tuesday."

10:25AM

Conroy on personal form:


"It's always a really hard thing to come back from a long-term injury and it's been very tough.


Hopefully playing more games will help me get more confident and I'm not playing he same as I was before my last injury but the will come and it happened with my last injury.


I'm happy with how I'm playing and all I'm focused on is playing every game for Swindon.


I feel the same player but I think it is the mental side of trying to get your focus on the right things and being in the right positions that is hard."


10:22AM

Conroy on defence combinations:


"It's difficult to adapt and if you look at the top team's in the world their defence is the same.


Consistency is key and recently me and Tom Broadbent have enjoyed a good partnership which we hope to keep going till the end of the season.


Consistency in the team is key."




10:21AM

Conroy on upturn in form:


"A couple of things have gone our way and everyone has gelled better overtime.


A few results have gone our way recently and confidence is a massive thing at the moment."


10:20AM

Conroy on Accrington Stanley:


"Every stadium is pretty similar with no plans and we are just going there to get three points.


We're looking forward to the game."


10:19AM

Conroy on Sunderland:


"You have to respect the team but I thought we done well and grew as the game went on.


I think we had chances and should've took a point at the end of the day.


They took their chances and we didn't."

10:18AM

Tommy Wright has now left us. Dion Conroy has joined us.

10:18AM

Wright on Ellis Iandolo:


"I think he's very close to coming back into games and he might be involved on Saturday.


Since I've been here the problem with Ellis has been his best position.


Richie Wellens thought his best position was left-back and John Sheridan thinks he is more a left-winger.


He's versatile and one day he will find his best position."


10:15AM

Wright on previous doubts:


"There is always doubts and that's human nature.


I feel that there were six teams in a similar situation and I knew once we got the belief back in certain players it would be massive for us.


That confidence has come back but it needs to come back more."

10:13AM

Wright on Anthony Grant:


"He's doing certain things but the protocol is that you have to meet six different conditions.


He's still going through that protocol but should be back in training next week.


He wasn't totally concussed but was feeling dizzy and had to see the Doctor after getting a knee in the head from Ellis Iandolo.


He will be back in full training next week."


10:11AM

Wright on keeper situation:


"It will be Connal again on Saturday.


JoJo is still injured and we know this isn't a great situation to be in changing keepers all the time.


There aren't many free agents about and Steve Mildenhall has worked really hard on the situation.


When we come to a conclusion I'll let you know."


10:10AM

Wright on right-back situation:


"Caddis has done well and we feel he has better at home.


Akin Odimayo had an injury but is back in the squad and we felt Hunt was the best right-back to go with against Sunderland.


We just pick the best man for the job on the day."

10:09AM

Wright on injuries:


"Jordan Lyden is in again. Tyler Smith and Joel Grant are very close but won't be back for this weekend.


We might switch things up for Saturday just to freshen things up.


Joel Grant and Tyler Smith should be in contention for the Oxford game."


10:08AM

Wright on Accrington game:


"They play three at the back and it's a very difficult place to go to.


It's not the biggest stadium in the World and you are in trouble if you don't compete."


10:07AM

Wright on League One table:


"It's very tight at the bottom of the table and we just need to look after our games and pick up points.


If you win three games on the bounce you can shoot up the table but it's hard to do that.


Every win is vital."

10:06AM

Wright on Sunderland game:


"I thought the discipline and the tactics were good but we could've been braver in possession.


One of Sunderland's strength is winning the ball quickly and we found it difficult to mount a counter-attack on them.


The players were disappointed with the goal."

10:04AM

Tommy Wright has now joined us and we will get underway.
