SWINDON Town brought to an end a run of six games without victory with a comfortable 3-1 success away to bottom side Coventry City this afternoon.

Nicky Ajose’s long wait to get his Town account re-opened came in the 32nd minute when he tapped home Ben Gladwin’s cross from close range.

It was added to just six minutes later when Coventry could only half-clear a corner and Charlie Colkett’s ball back into the box was headed in by Jonathan Obika.

Ajose netted his second of the game in the 71st minute when he notched another close-range effort at the back post.

A 91st  minute strike from George Thomas was little more than consolation for the hosts.

Luke Williams named an unchanged side for only the second time this season and the first time in the league this campaign, with the last coming in the FA Cup replay against Eastleigh, having beaten Charlton Athletic 3-0 the game prior.

The only change to the matchday squad came on the substitute’s bench, with Jordan Stewart coming in to replace out-of-favour Yaser Kasim.

It was also an unchanged side for Russell Slade’s Coventry side, with Stuart Beavon and Charles Vernom returning from injury to claim a place on the bench.

In a game lacking much talent in the opening half an hour, it was a well worked move by Swindon that opened the scoring.

Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill jinked inside before playing the ball back out to Ben Gladwin, whose dummy had the beating of George Thomas before his cross found Ajose floating into the six-yard box unmarked to tap in with his right foot.

Swindon had their tails up and only a fine sliding challenge from Jordan Turnbull prevented Ajose latching onto a through ball from Obika and doubling his tally.

However, the resulting corner for Town was only half cleared and when the ball worked its way back out to the left, Charlie Colkett was able to deliver an inviting ball into the six-yard box and Obika outmuscled his marker to scoop low and head home.

Swindon had the chance to further extend their advantage in the 53rd minute when Gladwin flicked on Lawrence Vigouroux’s goal kick into the path of Ajose.

Having done well to control the bouncing ball and take it around Lee Burge, off balance with the goal gaping, the Town forward could only watch on in despair as his effort on goal went over the bar.

Swindon were able to get their third and Ajose’s second in the 71st minute when Gladwin worked the ball out to the left-hand side to find Ormonde-Ottewill.

With James Brophy making the overlapping run, Ormonde-Ottewill drilled the ball towards the back post and Ajose was on hand with the poacher’s finish to calm any nerves.

Coventry were able to net a late consolation goal when substitute Yakubu Ayegbeni squared the ball for Thomas, who let fly from the edge of the box to beat Vigouroux.
