Ian Holloway said that Swindon Town are looking like a team that are willing to fight for each other following their 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon.

Harry Smith struck his ninth goal of the season after Joel Cotterill's fabulous through ball to give Swindon a lead at the break.

Despite continuing to perform well in the second half, James Tilley was able to turn home to mean Swindon had to settle for a point at The Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Holloway said that Town are starting to look like a team befitting the level they are playing at and capable of handling its challenges.

He said: "It was a League Two performance, and what I mean by that is when the ball dropped, we were there and we got a foot in and then when it back, we chased and we pressed.

"We were playing as a team and we were joined together, whereas before we were disjointed and we always gave the ball away and were wide open.

"At times it didn't look like they cared even though they do care because they were not in the right places because they were too expansive in a division that rips your throat out if you don't get it right.

"We are starting to play in areas which hurt them and force them into mistakes because we have lots of good players but it is about getting the right results.

"Today we looked like a League Two team and I am saying that proudly because we looked like a group that wants to fight for each other and that is what I did not see when I first came in here.

"I wanted to draw the second half, I don't think we have to push to win every half, I want them to realise that all you have to do is draw sometimes and it is annoying as if we could have got two straight wins then where could we go?"

Smith scored again for Swindon and Holloway marvelled at the quality of the entire move which put Town ahead in the first half.

He said: "I have got to say that Smith was excellent today, absolutely excellent for a big man with his touch and everything.

"He is getting battered from left to right but what a finish from him, it was such a brilliant goal - I would pay to watch that myself but thankfully I don't have to.

"The lads understand what we were trying to describe to them and they have actually gone out there and done it and we got a goal from it.

"Unfortunately we didn't get another opportunity to cut them open like that until later on but bits and pieces are really coming along.

"It is really important that we keep a clean sheet with all the washing the kit men are having to do, it is breaking my heart.

"I am devastated because we are better than how we are doing and it is about time they realise that when we play like we did."
