AS IS so often the case in football, when results start going your way, other things fall into place.

When Mark Cooper lost his job last season, a crippling injury list was one of the factors in his downfall.

Fast-forward a season and few could imagine that Town would suffer the same fate when it comes to the number of players heading for the treatment room.

With the changes to the loan market this season, those cracks were harder to paper over than in seasons past and they started to turn into gaping crevasses for Luke Williams and his backroom team.

Such has been the scale of the problem from the start of the season, Town had only been able to name an unchanged team once before the weekend, and that was in a short week and it didn’t quite go to plan as a side that had beaten Charlton Athletic so convincingly the Saturday prior, were humbled by non-league Eastleigh in the FA Cup.

In recent weeks, that medical room at the County Ground has stopped resembling the inside of a tin of sardines and it couldn’t have come at a better time for Swindon.

With Williams back in charge of all first-team activities, he will be keen to put his own stamp back on and being able to name an unchanged team for the first time in the league this season on Saturday will go some way to helping him do that.

Having seen a change to a back four and Rohan Ince holding behind a creative midfield three in front work so well against Oldham Athletic, it was a no brainer to stick with that against Coventry.

The stability of a back four, with the full-backs being asked to concentrate more on their defensive duties than their attacking flair, coupled with the physical presence of Ince has given Town a good foundation to build on in recent weeks.

With that, the midfield of Ben Gladwin, Charlie Colkett and James Brophy have the freedom to create chances by the hatful, that Nicky Ajose and Jonathan Obika will be more than happy to feed on.

With the games coming thick and fast for Town that consistency in selection could prove key in Swindon’s bid for survival.
