Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
Listen to the latest episode of TheWashbag.com Swindon Town FC Podcast, which includes our Swindon vs Doncaster Rovers match report. Host Christopher Panks is joined by Ron Smith – Editor of TheWashbag.com – and Daniel Hunt – regular match reporter for TheWashbag.com. Up for discussion is a frustrating afternoon watching Town draw 1-1 with Doncaster […]
First of all it’s been clear Swindon haven’t been any real attacking threat this season, hence our relegation, but I shouldn’t leave this aspect out of the season review in statistics. The below table provides seven league statistics for each player who have made a shot at goal this season; total shots, minutes per shot, total […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Adver Comment this morning ‘Hotshot Charlie Austin Must Be Replaced” made an good, if obvious point, on the need to replace Charlie Austin with at least 1 new forward at Town.

Whether this offer meets the fan’s valuation we await to find out… hopefully a significant upfront sum plus a good sell on clause would keep me happy for now. […]
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 […]
As readers would know by now, like most, I’ve hardly been enthralled by the performances of Vincent Pericard since joining Town back in January. However the widespread lack of support, moaning and booing throughout recent matches is getting a bit tired and is unlikely to be doing anything positive for his confidence. Even after Wilson made public […]
