With Louis Thompson gone, but back, and Jack Stephens and Jonathan Obika back, again, Alex Cooke looks at how Swindon did out of the summer’s moves. 1. Town had a good transfer window Swindon fans can’t usually agree on anything. From formations to the merits of playing 50-year-old bit of sub-moptop-pop guff after goals, they bicker constantly. But (if you’ve

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Don’t know about you, but I was shocked by Crewe’s performance last Saturday. Usually a team that likes to play football, our fellow railway team came, saw and kind of rolled over. Even after Yaser Kasim’s superb opener the visitors showed little stomach for

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It’s a strange feeling having watched a defeat but not been too disappointed. That was the feeling as the supporters bus left Crawley last Saturday. The old familiar routine of getting up early for an away match resumed at the weekend. It meant a

It’s Friday, and a new season, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Great start to the season: two games, two wins and a striker bang in form. How many of us felt that might be the case in the first week? It’s an odd trait of being a Town fan that the

With Portsmouth reportedly leading Shrewsbury to sign Swindon’s quick forward on loan, Alex Cooke assess the value of a striker who has yet to turn potential into goals. It is almost impossible to have a sensible conversation about Miles Storey online. He has become a totem for every polarising debate within the fanbase: potential v reality; loans v developing your

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It all ended rather tamely didn’t it? Our chances of the play offs finally disappeared in a blur of red and yellow cards on the Meadow Lane swamp… Pre-match the main topic of conversation was the constant watering of the pitch. It seemed amazing

With the High Court contest between Jed and Lee likely to drag on into the summer, Alex Cooke chooses to compare a loan signing from Spurs to a holiday fling with a Spanish waiter… Perhaps Alex Pritchard should have been loved at Swindon Town. The Spurs’ loanee gave an otherwise indirect team incision and élan. With his drop of the

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Two wins out of two and the play offs remain an outside possibility with just two Saturdays of the season to go. The first victory came bizarrely at Northampton against Coventry City. I found it difficult though out Friday’s game to remember we were

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It was a great game wasn’t it? Maybe not one for the purists but last Saturday’s match against Brentford was a full blooded affair. Full of incident, I think it was one of my favourite games of the season. It also saw the return
