Swindon Town clean sheet at Bristol Rovers big for season

Swindon got their second clean sheet of the season, and their first since the opening day of the campaign, against Bristol Rovers.

The big chances all came the way of Town, even if Rovers had more shots, but neither team was able to break the deadlock.

Ian Holloway has frequently spoken about his team needing to get some confidence, and after going undefeated in a week of three tricky fixtures and picking up a clean sheet, that could go a long way in helping the season turn around.

In very tough conditions, which Majekodunmi wouldn't have seen often playing in Australia, he felt that would be very important in the team continuing to build.

He said: "It was pretty chaotic. When the ball bounces, you know that it can go anywhere and skid across the wet grass, so you always have to be mindful of judging the flight of the ball.

"As a player, you always strive to keep clean sheets, and as a team as well, so that just gives us more confidence to go into next week and continue this form.

"Now we need to build on two solid performances, so hopefully we can start climbing the table and getting a few more wins.

"We are competing now, and these performances have been much better as a collective. I am sure that we can only go up from this.

"It is the same feeling that we have had that we need to grow as a group, so each game we want to build up the table and get results.

"The group's morale is high, especially after these three games, and so we definitely have the confidence.

"We never lost belief in ourselves, so we kept fighting and knew that this would come, so it feels good to have done this, so we just need to keep building."

Bristol Rovers wanted to impose their physicality on Swindon, bringing Richie Smallwood into midfield and Joe Quigley going up front, but Majekodunmi said that he was pleased with how the team dealt with that.

He said: "[Quigley] is strong and big, so you have to judge when you want to go tight to him, as he can pin you or roll you at any moment.

"It was about being physical and matching him, and then your timing has to be really precise.
