Once again Town fans were left wondering why the overall dominance couldn’t be converted into a win, as Town go three games without a victory. Like Exeter on Monday night, it was a goal just before half time that gave Walsall the important lead. An important lead because as readers will be aware, Town have not won a game this season
Read moreFollowing the midweek results Town have dropped to 5th place in League One, 3 points behind 2nd place Leeds United with four games to play. Walsall are sitting comfortably in mid-table in 13th place with 54 points. Overall Town have a fair home record against Walsall, but it has been poor in recent years as they have only won 3
Read moreThere was relief all around the County Ground last night as Town snatched a late equaliser in front of the Sky TV Cameras to hold a resolute Exeter City to a 1-1 draw. I’d previously thought Town would take a 1-0 win, a win which now would have been all important if we are going to recover from the away loss at
Read moreThis afternoon Town were away at Colchester United in our first of two matches against fellow promotion contenders. Colchester had failed to win in eight games (since February) and have slipped out of the play-off places following Huddersfield’s mid-week win against Oldham. Wilson fielded a full strength and unchanged team following the Easter Monday comfortable 3-0 win over Tranmere Rovers. Importantly Town
Read moreIt appears that relegation threatened Tranmere Rovers’ plan was to take 3 points from their games against Norwich and Swindon. We have Norwich and their 3-1 defeat on Friday evening to thank for Tranmere leaving themselves in Merseyside, as they didn’t compete in a largely disappointing encounter at the County Ground this afternoon. Town were grateful they weren’t pushed, having had a day less
Read moreThis afternoon Swindon took on a top of the table Norwich City, who came into the match 7 points clear at the top and unbeaten in 4 games. City also boast two of the top players in League One this season, Holt and Hoolahan. Swindon started the game at a gloomy County Ground with 3 changes from the midweek win away
Read moreI couldn’t get to the Southampton game last night, so a big thanks to Iain for this excellent write up. Swindon’s final game in hand couldn’t really have been a much trickier proposition. Southampton had won their last 7 games in the league at St Mary’s, scoring 23 goals in the process. Town came into the game with some confidence
Read moreTown won their first match in three this afternoon with a 1-0 victory over Brighton. Charlie Austin scored the winner in the 71st minute, slotting in a low shot from 10 yards. This goal took his tally to 14 for the season and will hopefully restore his confidence in front of goal, as he had failed to score since the
Read moreTown were at the MK Dons tonight. A rearranged fixture from a snowy January. One of our two games in hand along with a visit to Southampton next week. Wilson made two team changes with Morrison and Pericard in for Greer and Austin who drop to the bench. Morrisons mistake led to the opening goal after 90 seconds with Wilbraham taking the
Read moreYesterday we were promised the bragging rights to banish the memory of the 3-0 defeat against Bristol Rovers at the Memorial earlier this season. However, our 4-0 home defeat shows you can take nothing for granted and, when Swindon lose this season they surely know how to do it in style. To say Swindon played poorly would be very disrespectful to
