Johno’ reviews last night’s Carling Cup tie. Our views on where next for Leon Clarke coming up shortly. Out of the cup so let’s concentrate on the league. It might be an old cliché but one that is a famous phrase for a reason. A dramatic night at the County Ground nearly covered up our [...]

Sam Morris provides the Shrewsbury Town perspective of Saturday’s encounter at The Greenhous Meadow. It was the battle of the STFC’s at Greenhous Meadow on Saturday and thankfully, on my behalf, it was Shrewsbury who came out on top against Swindon. It was an intriguing game.

Swindon at Shrewsbury: Town self destruct to a 2-1 defeat
August 28, 2011 By 4 Comments
At the other ‘STFC’, Town approached the game knowing the midweek League Cup victory at Bristol City must be used as the impetus to re-start a misfiring League Two campaign. Against confident predictions, including my own wild partisan cries of absolute confidence, Town had so far failed to set the league alight with three successive [...]

Adam Johnson reports on Swindon’s excellent 1-0 victory at Bristol City in the Carling Cup 1st Round. Passion, skill and energy, they’re the three main characteristics we were told Di Canio would bring to Swindon and last night we finally saw it in full flow.

Leon Clarke has got to go
For those of you who read Alex’s article last week – Leon Clarke: Swindon’s new no.9 – are you really surprised by the actions of the pathetic Town current / former* (*delete as appropriate) front man following our 3-1 defeat against Southampton? Here is a fragile, perhaps sensitive player who relies too much on the support of those around him [...]
