Wednesday protest falls on deaf ears

Wednesday are continuing to smart following the circumstances surrounding their equaliser. Lax Town defending allowed Lewis Buxton space in the box, only to be sent tumbling when rounding keeper Phil Smith. Players momentarily paused seeming to wait for the referee to award a penalty, only for the referee to signal advantage, allowing Clinton Morrison to put the […]

Town v Colchester: Officials Nearly Cost Town 3 Points

Austin receives a caution after his goal celebration

Colchester United lost 2-1 at The County Ground in a match marred by refereeing errors and serious oversights, however the quality of the football fortunately didn’t suffer as Town finally found the gear we’ve been lacking over recent weeks. After Wilson went ‘back to basics’ at Plymouth, a decision he really should have  made weeks earlier, […]

Town & Supermarine Victorious in FA Cup

Instead of travelling down the M5 to Devon to follow Swindon Town, which I started to regret once the goals started flowing in the Plymouth goal, I made the short trip to The Webb’s Wood Stadium, home of Supermarine, in the hope of witnessing history. Could Swindon’s second team continue their superb cup run against […]

Charlton Avenge Play-Off Defeat Against A Fading Town

I’ve now had the chance to reflect on Town’s 3-0 defeat at the hand of Charlton Athletic last night… Town played desperately poorly and like a team of strangers in a match that only Charlie Austin and David Prutton came out of with any sort of credit. It was always going to be tough against a well organised Charlton […]

Town v Leyton Orient: Did Sheehan Deserve The Red Card?

A week after losing 5-4 at Peterborough we desperately needed a boring 1-0 victory over Leyton Orient just to steady the ship and gain some defensive confidence. What we got was a game of the proverbial two halves, an awful first half that made watching paint dry seem like an exciting Olympic sport was followed by an […]

Town at Peterborough: If You score 4… We’ll Score 5

You would normally expect to win when scoring 3 goals, let alone 4. But somehow only Swindon can come back from the brink of complete disaster only to throw it all away with yet another error. Town were 3 nil down after 22 minutes, then we managed to go in level at half time. After both sides […]

Town v Bristol Rovers: An Abject First Half, Half Time Entertainment and Vincent…

    I’ve not got much time, so here’s a few brief thoughts on the much needed victory over Bristol Rovers last night: By how much did we not deserve to go in at half time 1-0 up? “It was nip and tuck in the early part of the game, and they got on the ball […]

Swindon Town: Making Dreams Come True…

from guardian.co.uk

I couldn’t make it to Dagenham yesterday afternoon so I won’t comment a great deal on the match itself, having listened to the game and only seen the briefest of highlights of our pathetic defence and embarrassing performance on the Football League Show. Our second defeat in 5 days following a 5 match unbeaten run firmly cements Town’s place […]

Last Minute Plymouth Winner Shocks Town in 3-2 Defeat

Town lost 2-3 in what was a pulsating and watchable League One tie against Plymouth Argyle at the County Ground last night. Our first defeat in 6 games in all competitions. Earlier on Tuesday The Adver reported on Peter Reid’s plan to exploit the flanks and cause the narrow Town midfield plenty of problems. This […]

At Last… The First League Win of the Season!

from swindontownfc.co.uk

I never doubted our ability to eventually deliver and we certainly deserved the 3 points against a rudderless Southampton, whose arrogant and deluded management and fans need to realise they are a League One club. It was a tight affair with possession 49/51 in favour of Southampton. Chances were limited with an equal amount of shots on and off […]
