JAMES Brophy believes that an ‘all for one and one for all’ attitude is what’s needed to arrest Swindon Town’s flailing fortunes.

A fifth straight League One defeat on Tuesday offered no reprieve to Town’s relegation fears, with Brophy and co beaten 2-1 at Northampton Town while the other three members of the bottom four drew.

Swindon take on 19th-placed Oldham Athletic and bottom-of-the-pile Coventry City in their next two games and while it may take some time for he and his team-mates to conjure up a more positive outlook, the 22-year-old Town man is certain that solidarity will be king.

“I think it’s a bit of togetherness because this is not an individual game – it’s a team game,” said Brophy.

“We need to pull together and help each other out. I think we need to concentrate on working as a team.

“Don’t get me wrong – I don’t think anyone’s in disbelief.

“We know where we are in the table and we know we need to start winning games but I think when you look to the left and you look to the right of you in the changing room, you’ve got good players there that can change games and can win games, and that’s what we need to start doing.

“Fourteen games is still a long way to go but we know we need to change it quickly.”

Brophy also insists that there are no rifts within the Town dressing room despite Jermaine Hylton leaving Northampton’s Sixfields stadium upon discovering he’d been left out of Luke Williams’ squad, with fellow frontman Luke Norris, who had overcome a groin injury, returning.

Town have yet to reveal what, if any, disciplinary action has been taken against Hylton, but wideman Brophy added: “I think Noz (Norris) came through a late fitness test.

“Anyone’s going to be disappointed not to be in the squad or help the squad on the pitch, and I think Jermaine’s come in at different points of the season and done well, but it wasn’t his night.

“If you go in the changing room, everyone’s with each other.”
