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
May 9, 2011 By 2 Comments
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 […]
Town v Notts County: League Two here we come
April 24, 2011 By 1 Comment
What an utterly embarrassing defeat and in the process we now have our worst run of home results since the 1901/1902 season. Yes that’s 109 long years during which the County Ground hasn’t witnessed football this bad and ineffective. For a club that less than 12 months ago were 90 minutes and a Charlie Austin […]

Town v Dag & Red: More points lost
March 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
As Swindon Town were denied a blatant penalty in the dying moments of Saturday’s game, it ended a perfect opportunity to gain an advantage on our relegation rivals as results elsewhere all went in our favour. Paul Caddis was clearly fouled by two Dagenham & Redbridge defenders, yet bizarely referee Sutton or even his well-sighted assistant didn’t see […]
Swindon v Carlisle: Another game another loss
February 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
After the recent lengthy winless run of games, a victory over Carlisle was a must. Our away form, with the exception of Charlton, has been dire to say the least, so continuing to lose points at home only reinforces the likelihood Town will start in League Two next season. The early Town goal has been […]
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 […]
You can’t buy experience…
February 10, 2011 By 6 Comments
“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, […]
International Recognition for Caddis
November 18, 2010 By 1 Comment
After Paul Caddis, not even an ever-present regular in the Swindon Town first XI, was an unused substitute in the Scotland squad for the friendly international versus the Faroe Islands, what does this really say about the quality and strength in depth of Scottish football? When Caddis joined us back in August I was slightly bemused, […]

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 […]
