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 […]
10 reasons why Swindon failed in 2010/2011
Phew…this season has finally finished and on a high note with the 2-0 victory at Tranmere Rovers. Before we start to look forward to hopefully a single season in League Two (before a promotion, not in the other direction…) I just want to run the final rule over 2010/2011, with the 10 reasons why I believe we […]
The table DOESN’T lie…

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 […]
One Town goal, two huddles and three points lost

I didn’t travel to Essex to watch Town at Colchester, so a big thanks to regular Washbag contributor STFC007 for his thoughts and reflections on the game. After last year’s 3-0 away defeat at the hands of Colchester in their dreary stadium, I vowed that I would not return here for this season’s encounter. However, I felt […]
Town v Tranmere: 2 points lost…at least a point won

After all, I did clearly state from the next two home games “Six points are needed. Any less and we can kiss goodbye to League One”. Yes, […]
Likelihood of successive victories under Wilson
Another victory at Boundary Park would’ve been the perfect response to the magnificent 4-2 victory at Charlton…but we went down to a less than inspiring 2-0 defeat. All the talk has rightly been about finding consistency and Wilson bemoaning the mentality of his team. We desperately need an unbeaten run, preferably containing several wins, however this is looking increasing unlikely. Why?.. […]
Town v Wednesday Match Preview
After the trip to Crawley….errr I mean round Iain’s to watch it in comfort on ESPN, attention turns back to the bread and butter of League One this Saturday against Sheffield Wednesday…. weather dependant. With Town failing to hit any sort of consistency, other than consistently shipping goals in at the back, we’re all left wondering how and when […]
The Return of Andy Frampton
At last, Danny Wilson has finally secured an experienced loan signing to hopefully improve the inconstsistent Town defence. Andy Frampton joins on an initial 1 month loan deal from parent club Millwall and goes straight into the Town squad for the away match at Yeovil Town this Saturday. Bringing Frampton in on loan sees an […]
