Sturrock stays focused on team affairs 

Despite increased problems off the pitch at Swindon Town Football Club (see statement below), Paul Sturrock prefered to concentrate on team matters at his weekly press conference today.

The Town boss describing his pleasure at Tuesday night's performance at Swansea - despite Swindon losing the game 2-1.

"Of all the teams who have played them this season, we were the ones who had the most goal attempts, the most crosses and the most corners," Sturrock said, "and that for me was very pleasing."

"We just relaxed at the wrong time and it cost us."

GOING TO PLAN Paul Sturrock speaks ahead of Saturday's clash against Gillingham

The subject of team spirit also one the manager was happy to praise the players on, given the constant off-the-field speculation regarding the planned takeover of the club and the issue of unpaid wages for September.

"I can't fault them on that," Sturrock added, "team wise we're spot on. And the players are concentrating on what they should do - play good football."

"With all that is going on, it's important that we stick together."
