Simon Ferry – Swindon’s missing link

Simon Ferry

He can play 50 passes in less than 90 minutes and knits defence and attack but lately illness has deprived Town of Simon Ferry in full flow, Alex Cooke looks at what we have been missing. “Less energy, more quality”.

Shrewsbury

A series of postponed and re-arranged fixtures delayed the inevitable but Town have finally reached top place by beating promotion rivals Shrewsbury 2-1.

It is undoubtedly a brave move by Di Canio. Kerrouche hasn’t featured [...]
