Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
In our first review of the statistics which made the 2011/12 season, Ron Smith takes aim at Town goalkeepers Wes Foderingham, Phil Smith and Mattia Lanzano. If the 2011/12 season has taught us something we always knew would be true, it’s that quality goalkeepers are actually in short supply. After many years of Talia, Gremink, Lucas and the rest, […]
Neil Evans is to give his perspective on everyone who put on a Red shirt in our amazing record-breaking season, part two.. 18. Mark Scott. The young goalkeeper didn’t really feature and has been released by PDC..we wish him well 5 out of 10 19. Luke Rooney: Is it just me, or were we all expecting a […]
You may have noticed we’ve been a bit quiet responding to the latest Swindon Town news recently, Ron Smith has been on holiday… A week without the mod-cons in rural Dorset, in an isolated place where the only signal known to locals is morse, has undoubtedly been the relaxing break that me and the young […]
Two defeats in a row is an unusual run of form for the Town, first time it’s happened in fact since August, but promotion was still secured at Gillingham after a 3-1 defeat. Adam Johnson was there for the party… It’s an odd feeling, celebrating promotion after a defeat. However that odd feeling only lasted […]

In recent years we’ve seen ‘keepers come and go, a former England u21 international David Lucas fail to stake his claim to the no.1 jersey and the supporters unconvinced by an array of mistakes, with Phil Smith often singled out […]
Swindon squeezed through to the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Area Semi-Final last night thanks to a welcome return to action, and form, by goalkeeper Phil Smith. Matt Davies reports. Paolo Di Canio made six changes to the team that beat Port Vale. Phil Smith, Joe Devera, Oliver Risser, Rafaelle De Vita, Alan Connell and Mehdi Kerrouche all returned to the […]
Completely ignore what was written in the build-up to the A420 derby about the history, passion and desire; as that’s exactly what I’m having to do, coming to terms with a deflating first home defeat since 1973 and a sea of yellow and blue celebrating on the Stratton Bank. All this is despite an vastly improved Swindon performance. With the minutes ticking by to […]
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 […]

Vic Morgan Blog: Festive Madness…
It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It’s that time of the year when we tend to have a rather glazed expression. Too many things to do so little time in which to do it. Presents to organise, family to see, and oh yes football to […]
