Robins can`t be one-man team - Wilson

Thu, 22 Oct 11:14:45 2009

Swindon manager Danny Wilson has called on his players to prove they are not a one-man team when they come up against Norwich this weekend.

Playmaking midfielder Jonathan Douglas served the first game of a four-match suspension last weekend at home to Hartlepool - a game the Robins duly lost in disappointing fashion to end an 11-match unbeaten run in the league that stretched back to the second weekend of the season.

Swindon travel to Carrow Road on Saturday looking to get back on track, and Wilson has called upon his charges to prove their credentials.

"I don`t think anyone can survive being a one-man team, and if you are perceived as that then you will quickly start to believe it and then lose confidence very quickly," he told the club`s official website.

"We have to believe that we`ve got enough quality players in the club to take us through this little patch where Jonathan is not available to us.

"People have to step up to the plate and if they do then that is fantastic. What I`d really love is for someone to come in now and say `right Jonathan Douglas, get back in this team if you can`."
