Swindon concern at heavy schedule

Swindon chief executive Nick Watkins has said he is concerned by the "immense" demands that are set to be placed on the club's players and staff.

The postponement of Saturday's home match against Southend means Town face a heavy schedule through to the end of March with weekend and midweek games.

"The demand on the players is going to be immense," he told BBC Radio Swindon.

"The demand on the management is going to be immense. You've got to prepare the players for two games a week."

Watkins added: "If you then start to pick up injuries and the like you don't have much time to get the players ready for the next fixture, so that's a concern.

"We have got one benefit in that we've got a pretty large squad, so maybe that'll work to our advantage."

Swindon, who have played just two home matches this year because of the weather, start their run of 13 games in 43 days at League One leaders Leicester on Saturday.
