Skipper ready for Swindon showdown

Posted on: Tue 21 Feb 2012
Shrewsbury Town captain Ian Sharps has set his sights on climbing into the automatic promotion places as soon as possible ahead of tonight's top of the table clash at Swindon.
 
Sharps is looking forward to the mouth watering clash which is set to attract a big crowd to the County Ground as Town go in search of a a double against Paolo Di Canio's side.
 
Sharps said: "We're still fourth and we would like to be in the top three as quick as we can and hopefully stay there.
 
"It will be a great game. We've already beaten them once. I think they are the self proclaimed champions already from what they're saying.
 
"If we go there and put in a good performance, we'll be all right.
 
"We'll just go there and play our game. We know we're a good side. We've got goals in us, we've got clean sheets in us and that's what we need to to."
 
Sharps stressed the importance of Saturday's hard earned 2-1 victory at Barnet which has set Shrewsbury up nicely for the trip to Wiltshire.
 
"We conceded a sloppy goal at the start of the second half but gathered ourselves well to get the three points," added Sharps.
 
"It's important we stay with everyone up there at this time of the season and I thought we deserved to win in the end."
