LOUIS Thompson insists that the players and coaching staff are doing all they can to get Swindon Town up the League One table.

After missing out in the play-offs last season, the County Ground squad has been overhauled and a new manager has taken the reins.

But the changes that have taken place at SN1 have yet to bear fruit, with the club struggling at the wrong end of the League One table.

Martin Ling’s side hit one of their lowest ebbs last Saturday as they were crushed 5-1 by Fleetwood Town.

However, after that humiliation in Lancashire, Town bounced back with an ugly, but important morale boosting 2-1 success over high-flying Walsall thanks to a last-minute winner from Norwich loanee Thompson.

And as Swindon prepare to face Chesterfield this afternoon, the Wales Under 21 international believes that the club are now turning a corner.

“We will work tirelessly to make sure Swindon Town are in their rightful position, that’s from top to bottom,” Thompson told the local media.

“It will take time, Fleetwood aside, the past two games we’ve had here we have shown quite well we can do the dirty stuff.

“There have been elements to our game where we have played quite well.

“We have got to take the positives, move in the right direction and do what we do.”

With Thompson’s loan having been extended until the new year yesterday, the 20-year-old midfielder says that Town’s troubles this term cannot be solely blamed on the hangover from last term.

“I don’t think there’s a hangover from Wembley, not at all,” Thompson said. “The form that we’ve had this year has been an accumulation of a number of things.

“It’s a completely new team in that changing room, a lot of which haven’t had first-team football and they’re bound to make mistakes.

“That might be a bit of a cliché or a bit of a copout to say, but it’s the truth.”
