Nnamdi Ofoborh said that Swindon Town need to add a “swagger” to their play to take strides under new head coach Mark Kennedy.

The midfielder scored his first goal for Swindon and first anywhere since netting for Wycombe Wanderers against Fleetwood Town in 2020 during Town’s cup exit at Crawley Town.

Ofoborh said that he felt the team had adapted quickly to the new style of play that Kennedy wants from them and the players just need to add some confidence to start getting results.

He said: “We know what we need to do, the gaffer trusts us and we have confidence coming from them and confidence from the fans and hopefully we can keep moving forward.

“It is going to be a little bit more of a confidence thing, the gaffer is confident in what he wants to do and we just need to trust the system a little bit more.

“We need to play with a little bit more arrogance and swagger, as you can see from these two games, the resilience and togetherness of the squad is there.

“It is at a point where the results will come, hopefully, sooner rather than later but we have to keep moving forward.

“We are all getting used to a new system with a new manager, we are progressively getting better and more confident and more understanding of what he wants.”

Ofoborh fired home his first Town goal to get them back into the game and he hopes to find more as he adapts to a more advanced role.

He said: “It is a true blessing [to score again], my mum, my auntie, and a lot of my family were in the crowd today so it is a good moment for all of us.

“I am grateful to God for being able to do this after being out for three years, so hopefully I can get some more and give people a reason to cheer.

“It is a new system and we are all getting used to it, I am probably behind some of the other boys as I am playing a different role but I am enjoying it.

“I did it a bit when I was younger [playing higher up], being out for three years takes away a lot from your career.

“But having this first pre-season behind me, I am getting back to the physical level that I want to and I think I can produce wherever they ask me to.”
