It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Funny old week really. Two away games, four points, four goals. Decent enough return in anyone’s language. After a run of defeats it perhaps signals a return to the form we’ve come to expect over the past few months. But if anybody can explain

As your going to match at Carlisle on Saturday, could you write a match report for us? That’s what Ron the Washbag editor kindly asked. Of course I said, shouldn’t be a problem, writes Vic Morgan. Well for reasons which I’ll go into greater detail about later in the week, it’s a bigger problem than I thought. Briefly, there was

Is the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy worth the hassle? Does it waste time or give players much needed game time? Adam Johnson looks at the pros and cons of the tournament… “Mehdi Kerrouche is through…and he scores! Swindon Town have surely won the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy!” Now, I don’t know about you, but picturing this moment doesn’t get the blood pumping. Originally

Our away form, with the exception of Charlton, has been dire to say the least, so continuing to lose points at home only reinforces the likelihood Town will start in League Two next season. The early Town goal has been integral to any chance of
Read moreFollowing the win at Southampton, September yielded better performances and all important wins as Town put their season back on some sort of the right track. First up came a tricky trip to Cumbria to face Carlisle, where Town came away with a credible goalless draw. The result sent Town to the bottom of the league…who would have suspected that only a
