Vincent Pericard Finally Scores for Swindon Town in Trophy Win

I’m pinching myself. I can’t believe I’m finally writing it. After 230 days…5,516 hours…21 matches…only 3 starts.. and 465 minutes of first team action, our eternal substitute and luckless Vincent Pericard has finally opened his account for Swindon Town. Vincent scored the opening goal for Town against a managerless Southampton in our 3-0 victory in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy game at St Mary’s. The journeyman

Near Signing – Town Dismiss Alan Gow’s New Wage Demands

Is Alan Gow a central defender I hear you cry? No he isn’t. Town were widely regarded by supporters to bring in an experienced centre back to replace the now irreplaceable Gordon Greer. Yet, Alan Gow is a 27 year old Scottish forward, who was released from fellow League One team Plymouth Argyle earlier this summer. Alan made 14 appearances scoring 2 goals in

Town at Franchise FC

Town travelled to Pete Winkleman’s stolen football club with high hopes of finally securing a first win of the season, and in doing so start to look upwards to fulfil our raised expectations. My visit to StadiumMK was a first Town away game (excluding Wembley) for some time. After lunch and taking in the sight, yes the sole sight of

Captain Douglas?

Has anyone else started to have concerns over Jonathan Douglas being club captain? Or is it just me that I’m now starting to look for a scapegoat following our more than disappointing start to the season? Have we won a game where Douglas has been captain? Don’t get me wrong, I really admire what he has brought to the team

Town v Brentford

2009/2010 started fairly slowly for Town with 4 points out of a possible 9 and little sign of what was to come. Now the 2010/2011 season shows no sign of being any different, as a disjointed Town go one worse by failing to register a victory in our opening 3 games. In doing so, we’ve made our worst start to a season

David Byrnes His Bridges With Swindon Town

I’m a bit surprised and disappointed that David Byrne has left his role as Head of Player Development at Swindon Town today after over 4 years at the County Ground. Since joining Town as youth team manager in 2006 under Paul Sturrock, Budgie has filled various roles including caretaker manager after Sturrock joined Plymouth, followed by a promotion to become Maurice

Town v Brighton: Early Days…

There’s me only a few days ago posting my league predictions… Swindon to finish 3rd I triumphantly stated! However the Wembley hangover continued. Like last season Town started with an opening defeat, after going down 2-1 against Brighton at the County Ground this afternoon in what was ultimately a disappointing and disjointed game for both sides. Town were sorry and second best throughout. At times it appeared the players didn’t know each other.

70 Days Later….

A new League One season starts today, 70 days after the Play-Off Final. When I started this blog back in January, I could have never imagined how the season would unfold, the memorable games, the results, goals, and of course the agony and the ecstasy of the 3 play-off games. So we are at the start of a new season where confidence is high and
