Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
A goalless draw with Notts County ensured Swindon Town have gone five games as hosts without a win. Here’s Bitter Gillespie’s account of the game… 1957 was the year Elvis Pressley declared he was “All Shook Up,” a song that stayed for weeks at number one. Equally it’s 1957, now that due diligence has taken […]
A fine individual goal by Alan Judge was enough to hand Notts County a rare home victory and send Swindon’s beleaguered players and fans into an enforced two week break on a low, writes Daniel Hunt. For the second time in an utterly frustrating week, Swindon found themselves cursing poor finishing, good opposition goalkeeping and […]
Given the delay in the new Swindon manager announcement you can feast your eyes on some more statistics I’ve gathered over the course of the season. This time I’ll be having a look at the defensive phase of play and the contribution of all players with a defensive role, in particular, these stats reveal how […]
“We tried, but you can’t buy experience” was the cry from Andrew Fitton in the pre match comment, that was reiterated in Danny Wilson’s interview after our dreadful 3-0 defeat at Leyton Orient. This was in relation to Town’s vain attempts throughout the transfer window to remedy our deficiencies in defence, and continued problems upfront, […]
Town fell further behind in their deluded race for a top six finish following Yeovil Town’s 1-0 victory at the County Ground, after Dean Bowditch reacted quickest to nod the loose ball home in the six yard box. The game turned on one incident and Wilson’s tactical reactions. With the score standing at 0-0, Town were […]
After vastly improved performances in September, Town were brought back down to earth with defeat at League One new boys Dagenham & Redbridge. An early Dossevi goal couldn’t inspire Town to build on their advantage, falling to a 2-1 loss in the first ever League match between the two sides. The result was the biggest […]
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 […]
On paper we appeared to have strength in depth. I also thought…perhaps we might even be blessed with the ‘strongest’ Town squad for some years. So why hasn’t this manifested itself into an onfield advantage, leaving us winless after 5 league games? So far on the bench this season we’ve seen Amankwaah, Ball, Caddis, Dossevi, Ferry, […]
Finally! Swindon Town have secured their first new signing for 2010/2011. 28 year old left back Michael Rose joins on a free transfer following his release from Stockport County. Wilson hopes Rose will fill the void left by Alan Sheehan. Alan will not be returning following his successful loan from Leeds, as his parent club have […]

New deal…or no deal?
Following on from the release of Alan O’Brien and Thomas Dossevi, there are nine other Swindon Town players out of contract at the end of the season. We all know about Alan Sheehan’s lack of commitment to the club after going without permission to play for Preston North End in a trial match, but what […]
