Last updated : 04 May 2007 By Andy Van Hagen
In the build up to Swindon Vs Walsall, Swindon manager Paul Sturrock has been telling his club's official website www.swindontownfc.co.uk his thoughts about the weekend battle that lies ahead:

"I would say that we have now been shown by Chelsea and Manchester United that you cannot wait for things to happen; you have to take the initiative.

"Here we are with the last game of the season ahead of us and we are still chasing success. If the Play-Offs are the cherry ahead of us then we don't want it; we want the apple because a win this weekend then we are up.

"The important thing this weekend is that we get into the game quickly and remain positive. We are aiming to play at a high, high tempo and if we can do that then we will be able to get a result. It's a difficult game because of the situation that we are in, but the only result we can have in our minds is a victory.

"Walsall have been playing good football all season and we have to be wary when they have the ball. They are going for the title so will be going for a win too, so it should be one hell of the game this weekend. It should be end to end and a real game for the supporters to enjoy.

"Our season now comes down to this one game. I would hope that our entire squad will give it everything this weekend and you have a massive part to play, be sure of that."

Sturrock also comments on his sleeping pattern stating:

"It's a thinking job so I find it difficult to switch off. However, I'd rather be having trouble sleeping than sleeping like a baby - because it mean's the season will have a meaningful end to it."
