Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
Rejuvenated by the departure of former Swindon manager Danny Wilson, Sheffield United deservedly took all three points to all but book their play-off place and leave Town anxiously looking over their shoulder at the chasing pack from 6th position in League One. The Blades are a bullying, bruising team and they quite simply battered Swindon in […]
We welcome new TheWashbag contributor Lee Clark, who traveled to Essex to watch Swindon Town move within two points of the League One leaders with a deserved victory over struggling Colchester United. Swindon came into the game with a threadbare side after illness and injuries swept through the squad, but were comfortable in a game which […]
On a ‘pitch’ more suitable for the Calcutta Cup match up the road at Twickenham, how fitting that two penalty conversions should settle this scrappy, horrible footballing encounter in front of the Sky Sports cameras, writes Daniel Hunt. Something must have been a leveller because Swindon didn’t beat Crawley by the now customary scoreline of 3-0 (all […]
Swindon salvaged a valuable and deserved point at a rain soaked Dean Court, writes Richard Baynard. Town’s goal from Andy Williams followed a weak clearance from Bournemouth keeper David James, levelling the game with just five minutes remaining. The result was really no more than Swindon warranted overall, but after going in at half time […]
After thrashing both Tranmere and Portsmouth 5-0 in their previous two home games, Swindon Town came into this clash with Carlisle looking to carry on their recent fine form and extend their unbeaten run to five straight games. Goals from the in-form pairing of James Collins and Andy Williams and one from Raffaele De Vita […]
Swindon fans can go into Christmas Day with smiles after a thumping 5-0 win v table topping Tranmere at The County Ground. The win cements The Robins place in and around the playoff zone and Adam Johnson was there… ‘‘All I want for Christmas is you’’ was the choice of song before kick-off and we […]

My alarm goes off at 6am after finishing work four hours earlier, but it’s worth it as the Town are at Oldham. Writes Vic Morgan. Its one of those games that you mark down on the calender as one of the longest but ridiculously most enjoyable of the season. Somehow it seems to encapture the […]
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 […]
