Ian Holloway was proud of the way that his Swindon Town team came from behind to win 2-1 against Tottenham Hotspur Under-21s.

Swindon went into the game knowing that a draw would do to see them into the knockout rounds but were behind at the break when Tyrese Hall turned home from a cross.

But Town were able to turn up the tempo in the second half and quickly levelled when Danny Butterworth got in behind before Sean McGurk's delightful curler made it two wins in two for the new manager.

Holloway said that although his new-look team came under pressure in the first half and fell behind, they never lost heart and made sure they came back.

He said: "I learned that we keep letting the first goal in, which is not what I want, really, but in fairness, it was a new team and we had to do some things as players could only play a certain number of minutes.

"Considering that our team hadn't played together before and we were playing a team that plays together an awful lot and they are playing a certain way with how they are moving and playing the ball it was tough.

"We struggled a bit in the first half, we still played well and we still had the ball but we didn't take the ball off of them and then in the second half we marked someone a laid a trap and then we won it back.

"When you can win the ball back quickly like we did and put pressure on them like we did then the confidence changes and our skillful players started to believe in themselves.

"I would like to start by not letting one in but it didn't phase us today, we never lost belief, and that is what I am asking of them, so that is what made me proud."

The new manager also said that he felt the crowd getting behind the team was really paying off and helping the team to grow in confidence.

He said: "When we started to believe and started to create things then the crowd joined in and then everything was great and we managed to win the game.

"It is about being humble and brave, being adventurous, and passing and moving and we are starting to get that.

"Whoever came on was getting that too and they seemed to grow and they seem to want it.

"The crowd is helping with that, it is really helping, I am telling you that.

"As long as you like what you see, please let the lads know that and it will do them the world of good.

"When they are feeling confident then some of their skills are coming out and I want them to feel 20-foot tall every time they walk in the place and realise what a privilege it is to wear that badge.

"We have got an awful long way to go but it has been a fantastic start."
