SWINDON Town head coach Jody Morris insists his players should not need to find motivation for the remaining seven matches this season and stated any lack of drive to win would be “a worry.”

Morris’ men produced a flat and unimaginative display during their 4-2 defeat at home to Mansfield Town on Good Friday, causing many fans to level the age-old cliché about being “on the beach” at the beaten Robins.

With 13 points the gap to both the top seven and the relegation zone, Swindon’s status as a mid-table side could not be any more accurate.

Ahead of their trip to rudderless peers, Tranmere Rovers on Easter Monday, Morris was asked how his squad find meaning and motivation from the remaining fixtures.

He said: “They should be motivated, no matter where you are in the league. You're playing for Swindon Town.

“Your motivation should be, where do you want to be? Do you want to be here next year? Do you want to get a move? If that's your motivation. T “Is it because you need to help pay your mortgage? Do you need to provide for your family?

“I don't care what your motivation is. You need to find it. It's the same for me. I want to do well, and I want to win football games because I want to be a manager.

“You can't continue on a run like this forever, otherwise you won't be a manager, here anyway.”

Morris apologises to fans and blasts players' attitude following Mansfield loss.

The two goals scored aside, Swindon’s performance against Mansfield was arguably their worst of the season – simply because the players appeared so uninterested for large spells.

Morris continued his impassioned speech by insisting he will not be carrying any players and only those who are willing to commit to the cause will be included in match-day squads.

He said: “If you need to find motivation, that’s a worry already. But, if you don't know where to get it from, you need to quickly find out where it is.

“You don't want to be going into games lacking motivation. You've just been beaten at home, you're on a run of seven games without a win. That should be motivation enough.

“And if you're not in the team then you need to ask yourself why. Do you train well enough to force yourself into the team? Do formation changes mean that you come out of the team because you can't fill in in other positions?

“If you need to find motivation, then I think there's a problem, regardless of whether you’re staff or a player.”
