Pundit Lee Hendrie believes the appointment of Ian Holloway was a masterstroke by Swindon Town as they continue to climb the League Two table.
After almost four years out of management following his departure from Grimsby Town, Holloway made a shock return to football when he replaced Mark Kennedy at Swindon in October.
The Robins were just outside the bottom two when Holloway arrived following a poor start to the season under Kennedy, and their relegation fears deepened after the 61-year-old failed to win any of his first four league games in charge.
However, Holloway has inspired a remarkable turnaround over the past few months, and Swindon now sit 13th in the table, 17 points clear of the relegation zone and just 10 points from the play-off places.

| 14 | Cheltenham Town | 35 | -4 | 46 |

Holloway has won 12 of his 27 games in charge of the Robins so far, drawing seven and losing eight, and having initially only signed a contract until the end of the season, he confirmed last month that he was ready to commit his future to the club.
