SWINDON Town manager Mark Cooper was pleased by the perseverance shown by his side as they came from behind to beat Wycombe Wanderers in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Two late Nicky Ajose goals secured Town safe passed to the southern section area semi-finals after a 2-1 win, leaving Cooper to say: "I thought we played quite well. I know the crowd were shouting for us to get it forward but we can't do that, we have to play to create openings.

"I felt if we got one we might get another one, which is how it panned out. We played well in the first half and went 1-0 down, at the moment every time the ball goes in our box we look a little bit shaky.

"It was important to get the performance and the reaction. I think you saw tonight the players care."
