SWINDON Town head coach Luke Williams says he has no qualms with the back-room set up following the arrival of Tim Sherwood.

Much was made following Tuesday night’s defeat to Eastleigh that new director of football Sherwood had come down from the stands to take his place in the dugout following Eastleigh’s second goal.

However, it was something that was made clear, from the press conference that revealed Sherwood, could happen.

Far from feeling undermined by Sherwood’s arrival at the club, Williams is embracing it as a chance to develop himself and is aware that it may not be a long-term arrangement and is prepared to jump back into full control should he be required.

“I’m happy with the situation,” he said.

“Tim spoke to me yesterday twice, to talk about ideas for the team, to talk about ideas for training.

“It is fantastic for me to have somebody of that calibre to talk to about ideas.

“Of course, Ross Embleton’s value to me is immense and he is in the same situation as I am. We’re both enjoying the opportunity to pick Tim’s brain and watch him close up to see how he deals with certain situations.

“His input has been tremendous and the longer he spends with us, the more he is going to be able to have an input and help us.

“We know, the chances are, that he is going to be in demand by somebody he potentially cannot refuse so we need to make the most of what he has got to offer us while he is here.

“I am happy to take slightly less responsibility and share it and if the club require me to take all the responsibility on my shoulder again, I’ll do that.

“I am here for the football club to do whatever role to my best.”

Swindon travel to Rochdale this morning ahead of tomorrow’s game at Spotland and Williams is all too aware that results need to start being strung together, starting at the location of Martin Ling’s first game in charge last season.

“We need to start chalking up some victories,” he added.

“We all know the points tally that you need to get to, I was in this situation working with Martin Ling this sort of time last year.

“We looked at the board in the office and knew how many games we needed to win to get to almost guaranteed safety and that is scary when you start looking at it and think ‘they’re tough’ and then you look at the next game and think ‘well they’re tough’, it goes on and on.

“You need to look at games as opportunities and not as threats.

“The more points we can chalk up now before January means potentially, players are going to come in in January and take us to the next level.
