Vote for your STFC Goal of 2011
As we’ve moved into 2012 it’s a good opportunity to look back on twelve of the best Swindon Town goals of 2011. The list, compiled by Daniel Hunt, comprises eleven different players who have contributed to this selection of towering headers, team goals and individual efforts. Hopefully we haven’t missed out a good’un in this selection as we’ve tried to give even coverage of the whole
Read moreA Season in Stats: Part 5 – Attacking threat
First of all it’s been clear Swindon haven’t been any real attacking threat this season, hence our relegation, but I shouldn’t leave this aspect out of the season review in statistics. The below table provides seven league statistics for each player who have made a shot at goal this season; total shots, minutes per shot, total shots on target (SOT), minutes
Read more10 reasons why Swindon failed in 2010/2011
Phew…this season has finally finished and on a high note with the 2-0 victory at Tranmere Rovers. Before we start to look forward to hopefully a single season in League Two (before a promotion, not in the other direction…) I just want to run the final rule over 2010/2011, with the 10 reasons why I believe we failed, been relegated and finished
Read moreNo more excuses…action needed!
So 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 moreTown v Dag & Red: More points lost
As Swindon Town were denied a blatant penalty in the dying moments of Saturday’s game, it ended a perfect opportunity to gain an advantage on our relegation rivals as results elsewhere all went in our favour. Paul Caddis was clearly fouled by two Dagenham & Redbridge defenders, yet bizarely referee Sutton or even his well-sighted assistant didn’t see fit to award the penalty.
Read moreYou can’t buy experience…
“We tried, but you can’t buy experience” was the cry from Andrew Fitton in the pre match comment, that was reiterated in Danny Wilson’s interview after our dreadful 3-0 defeat at Leyton Orient. This was in relation to Town’s vain attempts throughout the transfer window to remedy our deficiencies in defence, and continued problems upfront, by bringing in seasoned pros.
Read moreIn defence of Vincent Pericard…
As readers would know by now, like most, I’ve hardly been enthralled by the performances of Vincent Pericard since joining Town back in January. However the widespread lack of support, moaning and booing throughout recent matches is getting a bit tired and is unlikely to be doing anything positive for his confidence. Even after Wilson made public his views of the vocal
Read more2010 STFC Review: August
Despite the despair of play-off defeat the mood around STFC for the season was high. I even put £30 on Town to finish in the top 3… In came Michael Rose, David Prutton, David Ball (on loan), Simon Ferry, Paul Caddis then Thomas Dossevi. On paper I certainly was led to believe Town were asserting a strong claim to mount a
Read moreTown v Colchester: Officials Nearly Cost Town 3 Points
Colchester United lost 2-1 at The County Ground in a match marred by refereeing errors and serious oversights, however the quality of the football fortunately didn’t suffer as Town finally found the gear we’ve been lacking over recent weeks. After Wilson went ‘back to basics’ at Plymouth, a decision he really should have made weeks earlier, the line-up was certainly better
