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 […]
Televised penalty specialist, Adam Rooney, and second half substitute, James Collins, scored crucial late goals to take Swindon back up to third in the League One table. Daniel Hunt gives his view from the sofa… The 0-2 score line didn’t flatter a Swindon Town side who dominated the second half on a cut-up Huish Park […]
Town moved top of League One for the first time in over ten years with victory over Tranmere Rovers, writes Daniel Hunt. Who needs a manager, backroom staff and supportive board of directors? Not this group of brilliantly committed players and loyal travelling supporters – embodying why Swindon Town Football Club will go on strong […]
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 […]
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 […]
Daniel Hunt travelled to Crewe with the injury, suspension and transfer embargo hit Swindon Town squad and a frustrated Paolo Di Canio. Everything from the pre-match Fish n’ Chips, sub £3.00 pints in the supporters club bar and a run-in with ‘Gresty the Lion’ pointed to good evening ahead at one of the friendliest grounds in the […]
Daniel Hunt reflects on further progress for Swindon Town in the League Cup after a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley. Soak it all in, appreciate it, take pictures! Because this is a fantastic time to be a Town fan. A healthy crowd of over seven thousand witnessed an action packed cup tie at the County Ground as […]
A much changed Swindon Town paid the price for failing to turn possession and pressure into shots on target against bitter rivals Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium, writes Daniel Hunt. A promising first half performance faded into the Oxfordshire night as a collision between new team mates, Ward and Flint, allowed Alfie Potter to […]
Swindon Town started the season in the best way possible, dumping Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion out of the newly dubbed ‘Capital One Cup’, putting aside any worries about the removal of Paul Caddis as captain in the process. Writes Daniel Hunt. Such an enthralling match seemed impossible at half time following a dull first half that […]

Darren Ward – The essential signing before the deals were stopped
Daniel Hunt asked if he could write a blog to analyse Swindon Town’s centre-back pairings to find out which one has led to one of the best defences in the Football League, but as you’ll read, it quickly turned into a Darren Ward appreciation article. It has almost gone unnoticed that, with the experienced defender […]
