LUKE Williams could not hide his satisfaction at putting a tough Swindon Town spell to bed following an impressive 2-0 win away at Oldham Athletic this afternoon.

Town headed to Boundary Park on the back of three defeats in a row in League One, while they were also without an away win in all competitions since February.

A goal in each half from striker Jonathan Obika and wing-back Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill set that form right and Williams reckons his side did not do too much differently to what they had done during their recent difficult run other than make the most of their good play.

“I’m really pleased for the players and I’m pleased for the fans that have come to watch us because away from home, we have not been great, so I am really delighted,” Williams told BBC Wiltshire.

“I don’t think there was a huge amount different. As we have said before, we have had a few things go against us and once you are chasing the game, it’s much more difficult.

“Today, we took the lead and we were able to control the game more on our terms. Players are getting fitter as well bit by bit too.

“They are an excellent group and I have been hurt for them that they have not got some of the results that I think they have deserved.

“There have been some patches in games that have been below par but nothing drastically has changed, I think the players are just coming to grips with a few things.”

Williams was particularly impressed by Town's opening goal, which showcased their flowing football at its very best.

Swindon retained possession for more than a minute in the build-up, with Obika finishing the move after being picked out in the box by John Goddard.

“It’s very, very pleasing from the point of view of the whole squad,” added Williams.

“We all feel like everybody was included in that and like that, we’re an incredibly difficult team to play against because we went forwards and backwards and waited for our moment to strike.

“Of course it’s hard to believe that Jon Obika can be inside the box unmarked with time to put the ball on his left foot but it’s not because the players he’s playing against are no good, it’s because we moved the ball and they switched off.

“We’ve got an understanding of what positions to be in and why and it’s very pleasing for everyone to be involved in that.”
