Danny Ward gave Swindon the perfect start after only four minutes before Billy Paynter grabbed number twenty-one of the season - only for Stockport to reply straight after.

 

But after a period of play where the bottom side could have levelled, Town stepped up a gear with two goals in five minutes.

 

The first from the unlikely head of Simon Ferry on 74 minutes, before Paynter doubled his tally. 

"We had to work hard for that this evening," commented Danny Wilson, "because there was a period when we were second best."

 

"But we responded in the right manner and I'm very pleased with that." 

 

The win extends Town's unbeaten run to twelve games.
