PRESS CONFERENCE LIVE: Gillingham v Swindon

Follow along with live updates as Scott Lindsey speaks to the press ahead of Swindon travelling to Kent to face Gillingham in League Two on Saturday. Total Sport's Joe Acklam reports live from the County Ground.

3:36PM

That's all folks, enjoy the rest of your day. Hopefully signings come in.

3:35PM

Remeao Hutton on moving position:


I am quite a direct player and maybe that does not suit Swindon at times, but it does help as well. I came here to develop and become well rounded and I am hoping to do that.

3:31PM

Remeao Hutton on his long throw:


It is something I have so it is a weapon, but teams play in different ways. If we want to use it then we can, it is dangerous and creates chances, so I like it. I think the gym and my power helps.

3:30PM

Remeao Hutton on the start:


No one looks at the table yet, so we don't mind too much and we are playing well so hopefully we will get up there.

3:30PM

Remeao Hutton on the squad:


I have come here to improve and that is the important thing, but I am enjoying myself and playing with these players.

3:29PM

Remeao Hutton on Stockport:


We played well again but it was just one of those things again. I like playing further forward, so it was good to get time up there. But I am happy to move around.

3:28PM

Remeao Hutton on Tuesday


I think we done well, everything was good, we just needed to score and the young players did well. I haven't been the experienced guy before but it was a nice experience.

3:27PM

Remeao Hutton is here

3:26PM

We are still here, just waiting for a player.

3:16PM

There will be a player, suggestion of Tyrese Shade but can confirm soon.

3:16PM

My questions again will be covered in full in LSPOD, but I asked about creating a winning mentality and Gillingham's direct approach:

  • Happy with how we were playing as it gives us the right chances to win, but we need to start winning these games
  • We don't change for anyone else and our defenders are capable of dealing with it.
3:13PM

Scott Lindsey on Adeloye's injury:


It doesn't change our plans.

3:10PM

Scott Lindsey on the derby nature:


I see it because I sometimes go back to Gillingham and when I do that in Swindon kit, I will get a bit of friendly abuse. It will be great for the supporters and hopefully we can win.

3:09PM

Scott Lindsey on coping with disruption:


I don't think it changes our plan, we will keep doing everything the same and I imagine they will as well. I think they are bringing in a CB, but it shouldn't change things.

3:08PM

Scott Lindsey on new signings being able to play:


I hope so, yes.

3:07PM

Scott Lindsey on his ties to Gillingham:


I lived there for 28 years, my dad was a bit of a legend there and I played there but I am going to put that to one side and go down there and get a result. It was also my first real job in coaching in their academy and into the under-18s. Really good club and enjoyed my time there.

3:06PM

Scott Lindsey on young players:


We have a big squad now, so we will need to evaluate who needs to go out and get game time and who can benefit by staying here.

3:05PM

Scott Lindsey on injuries:


Adeloye has grade two thigh tear and that will be four to six weeks, Massey is fine and back in training. His injuries is down to deconditioning and we need to be sure that he is in the right place when he comes back so it doesn't reoccur.

3:04PM

Scott Lindsey on Gillingham:


They have not had a brilliant start but it is still early. They get bodies behind the ball and are difficult to break down, so we will have to be patient and inventive with how we play.


*Brief interlude as Iandolo in being shouted at for singing in the next room and putting Lindsey off*


We have to be ready for the counter attack and we have to be wary of that. I haven't come across Neil Harris, he has had some big jobs and I am sure he will turn this around.



3:02PM

Scott Lindsey on post-Tuesday:

The players had Wednesday and cam back into training today and focusing on Gillingham, travelling down tomorrow and training down there. We have enough staff who know people which makes it easy to find places to train and I think it is an important part of the schedule.

2:59PM

We have now moved to the press room and Scott Lindsey will be with us shortly.

2:55PM

It is pouring with rain here, it certainly wasn't when I set off. Perfect driving weather if you were coming up from say Plymouth.

2:52PM

Good afternoon, I am in the County Ground, the place is swarming with new signings (I jest, or do I?). Scott Lindsey coming up.
