MIDFIELDER Simon Ferry is confident Swindon’s record of beating higher division teams this season will help see off League One Chesterfield at Wembley on Sunday.

Town have already disposed of Premier League Wigan and the then League One leaders Huddersfield in the FA Cup, while Championship side Bristol City were beaten in the Carling Cup at the start of the season.

Despite being from the division below, Town have been declared favourites by the majority of bookmakers and pundits due to their impressive league form, which has seen them surge into a seven-point lead at the top of League Two.

With Chesterfield languishing at the bottom of League One, Ferry fancies his side’s chances of once again disposing of higher division opposition.

“We have played quite a lot of teams in leagues above us this season and done quite well in all of the games so we will be used to it and should do well, and looking forward to it also,” he said.

“They were in League Two last season while we were in League One, and now we are top of League Two while they are bottom of League One, so I would say it is pretty even in that way, but I think we have a great chance.”

Ferry was part of the Town side which lost the 2010 League One Play-Off final at Wembley, but is hoping to return to the national stadium in a much more relaxed frame of mind this time around.

“We probably do go into this game feeling a little bit more free than before, mainly because we go into it without having a whole season riding on it,” he said.

“The boys are buzzing and what we need to do now is to relax and play our football. If we do that I think we will win.

“This is an extra bonus for how well we have done this season, and it is a great reward for us all to be able to play at Wembley.”

Ferry admitted victory at Wembley would be his biggest achievement in his short career to date, but is already hopeful of adding a second trophy soon after.

“If we can win it will be the first trophy I have won as a player, and not many get a chance to win a trophy, especially at Wembley so we hope we can bring it back for us and the fans, and then win another one quickly and win the league.

“I played at Hampden too for Celtic youths, but Wembley is probably a bit better because the fans are so far from the pitch at Hampden, but to play at both is very special.”
