SWINDON Town manager Richie Wellens says there is still much more to come from his side despite making it three League Two wins in a row at the weekend.

A late strike from Kaiyne Woolery fired Town to a 2-1 victory over Newport County at the Energy Check County Ground on Saturday, following previous successes away at Port Vale and at home to Stevenage.

That sequence marks a superb turnaround following a crushing 4-0 defeat at home to Carlisle United on November 17 back in Wellens’ first match in charge, with the disappointment of an FA Cup second-round exit at the hands of Woking the only other blemish.

Foul wet and windy weather conditions blighted Saturday’s contest, meaning Town were not able to show all of their attacking qualities.

Wellens felt there were still some impressive moments from his side, though, and has no doubt they can get even better once his new ideas are fully implemented within the squad.

“You won’t see the best of my team for another eight or nine games simply because – and I have said it before – we are giving the players so much information,” said Wellens.

“We worked on a lot of set plays, but on Saturday it was difficult to execute them because of the wind. We will work on different ones for next week.

“In the first half, we obviously had the wind so had Newport penned in, but the real moments of quality came from us.

“Once we turned around for the second half, obviously they had the wind so they had long throws and were putting balls into the box and it is difficult to deal with, but I still thought the better moments were from us – epitomised by the winning goal.”

A feature of Town’s play against Newport was their high press and, particularly in the first half when benefitting from the conditions, they stifled any momentum the visitors looked to build up.

Wellens says that will be a key tactic for his Swindon side as he knows Town are unlikely to be opened up too often by incisive attacking play.

“We know that if we stand off teams in this league, they aren’t going to cut us open with their passing. We know they are going to put it into the box, so we want to press as high up as we can,” said Wellens.

“If they are playing long balls from their 18-yard box and we have to defend it 40 yards from our goal, then I am happy with that.

“What I don’t want is us dropping off and other teams putting balls in and it landing around our penalty spot.

“We work hard and as soon as we’re defending, we get up and we squeeze.

“I like my teams to press from the front anyway because all the areas are covered.”
