Kennedy believes squad are 'united together' amid difficult start to season

Head coach Mark Kennedy insisted his Swindon Town squad were “connected and united together” despite a tough start to the season.

The boss was speaking after his team had recorded just one victory in seven League Two games, totalling six points in the process.

Defeat at home against Carlisle last weekend left the Robins 21st in the table, but Kennedy insisted his team were just lacking a bit of “luck”.

He said: “When I look at the processes, when I look a training, when I see the behaviours of the players and when I see the numbers that we distribute post-training in terms of the physical output, I just see a group of people who are connected and united together and are desperate to do well for each other and for the club.

“On a day-to-day basis, we tend to walk off after training and think ‘this is really good’.

“I spoke to Clem (Morfuni) on Saturday night after the game and he said ‘is there anything I can do for you?’ and I said ‘no, just relax and be patient because we are going to be fine’.

“His question about how to help and what more can be done, I just said ‘You can’t do more, if there is one thing I want you cannot give it to me because it is luck.’

“Every coach needs that, Pep Guardiola, the big hitters like Mikel (Arteta), they need a bit of luck as well, everybody needs it but sometimes you make your own.”

Town will look to bounce back when they make the trip to ninth-placed Port Vale on Saturday (3pm).
