For just the sixth time this century, Swindon have gone ten games undefeated at home, having not been beaten at the Nigel Eady County Ground since the 3-2 loss to Morecambe in November. Clarke grabbed a late equaliser as Swindon were able to salvage a draw to keep that run going against Cheltenham. Swindon's captain said that with the run Town have been on in front of their home crowd, other teams are coming trying not to lose. He said: "Throughout the course of the season we have obviously gotten better, but the belief has always been there. "I think that the belief in the quality that we brought here in the summer is strong and we knew that we were a better team than we were showing earlier on in the season. "When you get on that run of wins and you start pulling points back, then it can only bode well. "Teams fear coming here now, they come to nullify us like Chesterfield did a few weeks ago. "Teams who were higher than us in the league are coming here and thinking that 'They are a problem' and they try to make the game ugly, because they know that we can play mixed football. "We have got a big man who can bring people into play, but we also have technical players who can play through the lines and cut people open. "I think that this kind of run comes the more you know about your teammates and the more you play with each other, so over the course of the season we have just become better and better." Clarke added that Swindon had shown the togetherness within the squad once again as they came from behind to earn a draw with Cheltenham and could even have done more. He said: "I am a little bit disappointed with the goals that we conceded, but to come back shows the togetherness that we have got in the squad. "We didn't spot the dangers quickly enough and that has probably been the story in a lot of games this season. "We had a mountain to climb, but it was a good fightback and a good performance with some good goals and passages of play. "I think we were unlucky not to win it in the end, but you shouldn't need four goals to win a game."
