Swindon Town centre-back Steph Negru believed his side did enough to get something from their 2-1 defeat on Saturday to MK Dons at Stadium MK.
“It’s frustrating not to get that goal when we were on top, but it goes to show that we can compete with a team like MK Dons who are in great form.
“We just need that little bit of self-belief in order to kick on in the league and start to climb to a position we deserve to be.”
Swindon have climbed to 13th in League Two despite a tumultuous start to the season due to a number of factors, including their well publicised injury crisis, but Negru is hoping they can build some momentum now that players are beginning to return.
“The team is starting to gel now with players coming back, it’s not uncommon knowledge that we’ve had some injuries and now we have more bodies coming in it’s healthy competitiveness.
“It spurs us on to work harder each day on the training ground and like you said when you can bring options on to change games it’s just an added bonus.”
Nergu is leaving his team as he goes on international duty with Moldova which comes at a poor time for Swindon as he’ll miss fixtures against Plymouth Argyle and Grimsby Town whilst they are building momentum, but he is faithful the players will have enough to get results in both games.
“Of course it’s a little bit frustrating but it’s an honour to go and represent your country so no way am I backing down from that.
“I have full trust and confidence in the team to do the job while I’m away.”
