from swindontownfc.co.uk So Paul Hart has left the County Ground…what a relief! Hart goes into the Swindon Town history books as the worst manager in the history of the club (statistically at least), securing just 0.64 points per game and scoring only 6 goals, well behind 2nd worst John Gorman with 0.87 per game. The search for a replacement to

I’m writing this post whilst watching the Real Madrid versus Barcelona 1st leg of the Champions League semi-final. This is, of course, a level of football which whilst Swindon Town supporters might dream of and achieve only in Football Manager, we accept that to actually reach this level is a nigh-on certainty that it’ll never happen in our life time. On the
Read moreSwindon Town were finally put out of our misery this afternoon with a 3-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday. The defeat meant the season couldn’t be salvaged with only 2 games now to play. Even a draw today would’ve been too little too late as results elsewhere made it impossible for Town to finish 20th. Swindon now become the 5th third tier play-off final
Read moreWhat an utterly embarrassing defeat and in the process we now have our worst run of home results since the 1901/1902 season. Yes that’s 109 long years during which the County Ground hasn’t witnessed football this bad and ineffective. For a club that less than 12 months ago were 90 minutes and a Charlie Austin finish from playing in the
Read moreBefore the Swindon versus Notts County game today, here’s a updated version of my League One predictions table, which is based on projecting ahead home and away form for the remaining games. So 47 or 48 points may now be enough to avoid relegation if things were to continue the way they are. However, as far as Swindon Town are

Its that time of the year again when I receive the Swindon Town research files for FOOTBALL MANAGER™. As part of the final review for FOOTBALL MANAGER 2011™ I’ll be updating all of the Swindon Town data. Not only will this exercise require me to make all the Swindon players crap 😉 I’ll be going over all of the existing data to make sure
Read moreSo is this what us suffering Swindon Town supporters have to look forward towards until the end of the season? Comments and excuses galore this week from David Prutton and Matt Ritchie just frustrate and anger me. We, the Swindon supporters, don’t have to be told the obvious like key players haven’t been”replaced”. They have been replaced, however those players brought in
Read moreTuesday was the day all of the second year Swindon Town youth team scholars dreaded. Will they be offered their first professional contract or cast adrift to start their potentially long search to find a contract or forget their dream of playing professional football? The whole team have performed brilliantly to secure the Youth Alliance South West Championship title for the third
Read moreWell who would’ve imagined Swindon Town winning again before the season was up? I couldn’t have been the only one to doubt we’d see another 3 points… So after 18 games since the previous win and with the opportunity to equal the club record sequence without a victory, Town finally won 1-0 at Brentford on Saturday. As we’ve secured an

As usual this is based on projecting home and away form so far this season to the games remaining. Key points: Brighton still shown promoted with 84 points as Huddersfield will
