Wilson was forced to withdraw goalkeeper David Lucas after only 12 minutes due to hamstring trouble and a similar injury also cut short Vincent Pericard's contribution, while midfielder Danny Ward was unable to appear after the break following a blow to the head.[LNB]Charlie Austin's 14th goal of the season 21 minutes from time gave the Robins their first win in four games and put their play-off bid back on track following two successive defeats.[LNB]"After having to make three substitutions in the first 45 minutes, this was a fantastic three points for us," said Wilson. "The injuries took the game plan out of the window to some degree, but the boys who came on did well and the whole team really wanted the three points."[LNB]Swindon went into the clash at Withdean without 21-goal top scorer Billy Paynter, who damaged his hamstring during training, but Wilson believes he has sufficient strength in depth to cope.[LNB]He added: "We have shown quality to get where we are, this was a big three points for us and we have great belief in ourselves. Losing Billy is a major blow for us, but coming through to win a game like this shows the real character within the team."[LNB][LNB]
