SWINDON Town head coach Luke Williams says his side will be fighting until it is mathematically impossible in their bid to stay in League One.

Saturday’s defeat to Bury saw them fall into the relegation zone for only the second time this season.

However, Town’s players have little time to dwell on their current predicament with a trip to Sixfields this evening to face a Northampton Town side who have put some space between themselves and the drop zone with two wins in their last three outings.

Town succumbed to a 3-1 defeat at home to the Cobblers back in September but Williams took heart from the chances his side created that evening and is confident they can take advantage of another opponent who are low on confidence.

“I think anybody in any situation, if they are desperate, they will make the wrong decision,” said Williams.

“I need to try to make sure the players don’t see that from me.

“I have got no fear at all and neither have the players. I am not moping about the place, I love my job and I am still fighting for the club to be in the division.

“Northampton are a team that have suffered from a dip in form and a dip in confidence and for sure they are a team that can be beaten.

“We dominated possession and created enough chances to win three or four games of football (last time we faced them).

“We were a team that could create chances fairly easily but we would struggle to convert those and we had too many lapses in concentration at the other end of the pitch.

“Now, we are stronger defensively but I need to give a very clear structure of how to deliver the ball repeatedly, time and time again to the box because that’s where the goals are scored.

“If I am successful in giving that structure to the team and they are successful in delivering that, then we hope that we stand a chance of scoring more goals.”

Against Bury, Williams opted for the physical presence of Rohan Ince at the expense of central defender Lloyd Jones as he continued to juggle the loan signings.

However, Williams might be forced to move things around again, with Ince in court yesterday, but says he is under no pressure from parent clubs to play certain players.

“It’s been very, very difficult and it is something I need to be very considered in the decision I make,” he added.

“There are so many knock-on effects for this type of decision.

“I don’t think there is any pressure from anybody. Of course, everyone wants their player to be on the pitch, and they will monitor how they are getting on, but unfortunately, not everybody can.

“I have to make the decision and people have to get on with that afterwards.”
