Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
Last night’s results were painful for Swindon Town supporters as yet another game without a win now requires 17 points from only 21 available to ensure we have a realistic chance of avoiding the drop to League Two…judging by our season the odds are clearly against us. However, at the other end of the table…the […]
The second story in the series following Swindon Town successes of avoiding the drop, this time I take a look back to 1975/1976 in Football League Division Three. After almost bouncing back at the first time of asking the season before, when Town finished just in 4th place, just 2 points shy of automatic promotion, the contrasting […]
Guff from the Adver earlier earlier today with Gary Rose’s article on his interview with Swindon Town defender Andy Frampton. Titled “The table DOES lie!”, the article widely quotes from Frampton, yet I can’t read anywhere Frampton making that exact statement in the title… A misleading title born from Frampton commenting: “We have to concentrate […]
As Swindon Town were denied a blatant penalty in the dying moments of Saturday’s game, it ended a perfect opportunity to gain an advantage on our relegation rivals as results elsewhere all went in our favour. Paul Caddis was clearly fouled by two Dagenham & Redbridge defenders, yet bizarely referee Sutton or even his well-sighted assistant didn’t see […]
Here’s one for you…so how many points do Swindon Town need to avoid relegation to League Two? After updating my usual predicted League One home / away form table (see below), I now find Yeovil Town predicted to finish 20th with 50.15 points and Swindon, unsurprisingly predicted, to finish bottom with a meagre 41.6 points. So with […]
Sitting bottom of League One is a shock to the system, yet Swindon Town have been firmly embroiled in a relegation battle to secure League One football for 2011/2012 for some time. We can survive the drop, we’ve achieved this before, so it’s now time to look back into the history book at seasons where […]
New Swindon Town manager Paul Hart has certainly caused a stir with media attempts to perfect the headline grabbing pun based on his name. Of course The Washbag won’t be participating in any of this nonsense… So the various Journalists and blog writers can keep tabs on the Hart puns here is a list of the best…er…I mean […]
This has been a week in which Swindon Town replaced Danny Wilson as manager, perhaps expecting an immediate positive impact on results having gone 11 games without a win. Yet the move to bring in Paul Hart yielded nothing, apart from leaving a bumper 10,489 crowd flat and bemused on the final whistle, as Town […]
Following the full League One fixture programme this afternoon, for what it’s worth, here’s an updated league form table sorted by predicted finish position. The predicted total is calculated by points per game secured home and away, and projecting this forward for the remainder of the season. So Swindon have won 1.22 points per game […]
