Ian Holloway finds himself under increasing scrutiny following a series of challenging performances from his team.

Currently sitting at 12th place in League Two, Swindon Town's recent form has seen them win only one of their last four matches.

Despite facing criticism from some fans, Holloway has vowed to continue his fight for success at the club.

During his latest pre-match press conference ahead of their upcoming game against Rochdale, Holloway expressed his determination to overcome the obstacles and improve the team's fortunes.

He candidly described feeling like a "dead man walking" while noting that a substantial portion of the squad is out injured, which has made the task more difficult.

With 13 players currently sidelined, Holloway has called for greater support for the team.

Swindon Town travel to Rochdale without having secured any wins on the road this season, aiming to tackle these challenges head-on as Holloway strives to bring success to the club.
