Swindon Town defender Nathan Thompson has stressed the importance of the club's remaining games to their bid to win promotion to the Championship.

The 22-year-old believes that the Robins' eight remaining fixtures will be like cup finals as the team looks to end the season on a high.

"We have been fantastic against the top teams and now the last eight games are huge for us," he told PA. "Every game we will approach like a cup final and after eight games we'll see where we are."

Swindon defeated Yeovil Town 2-0 midweek to move into third place in League One, one point away from the automatic promotion spots.

"It was an important win for us. They were three massive points and a great performance. The last few games had been a bit disappointing for us, we had been a bit brittle," Thompson added.

"Conceding the goals like we did was very unlike us but to get the clean sheet at Yeovil was important. We worked hard all season and you can see late in games we really become a lot more dominant."

Swindon take on 11th-placed Notts County at home this weekend.
