MARK Bradley returned to the starting line-up for the last game and will be hoping to keep his place as we take on Hartlepool United on Saturday.

"I was happy to be back in the side last weekend," said the Wales Under-21 International. "We played as well as we have done for some time during the first half and should really have been out of sight.

"Now that I have got the shirt, it is up to me to keep it. There is good competition for places in the centre of midfield, but I know that if I keep playing well, I will keep my place and it will also help my International chances.

"I enjoy playing for Wales; it's good experience for me and I want to keep progressing."

Bradley and his team-mates will travel up to the north-east on Friday ahead of our game against a Hartlepool side who, like ourselves, are still searching for their first home win of the season. "We travel to Hartlepool well prepared and determined to get the three points," he went on. "We've been picking up points and go into the game unbeaten in our last four League games, so confidence is good.

"Hopefully we can push on from our first half display against Swindon. We know that we need to start getting goals from all over the pitch, but as long as we are all pulling in the same direction, we will be okay."
