Swindon Town is expected to challenge for promotion in League Two, according to Paul Lambert. The former Aston Villa manager believes Ian Holloway has what it takes to turn things around.

The team's performance has raised concerns about their ability to stop the slide at the start of next season. However, Paul Lambert is confident that Ian Holloway can get them back into contention for promotion.
What comes next?
Ian Holloway has been clear that he intends to work hard to improve the team and ensure that they do not fall short of his expectation of winning promotion. He said: "I'm going to endeavour to get you a better team, a better squad, and we won't have quite as many problems as we've had that might have affected people as well."
