Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Two long journeys, two completely different performances, two different sets of feelings amongst the fans. You couldn’t really get more of a contrast from one day to the next. On Saturday, Swindon capitulated, not too strong a word, at Rochdale. Three days later at Southend, they battled to keep the

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Just when you think you’ve turned a corner, a sharp u-turn shows up.
