Tomlinson only met his new teammates yesterday, but slotted into a young side seemlessly. A triallist scored the only goal of the game in the second half.
Josh Knight made his return from illness in this game, playing for 65 minutes after a week on the sidelines.
“Joe did well,” Etherington said. “He showed his quality on the ball and I liked how aggressive he was off the ball.
“We played much better in the second half than the first when we had a lot of young lads and triallists on the pitch, playing against an experienced Swindon side.
