January 2013: A Black month at Swindon Town
2013 is nearly over and it has been an eventful year at Swindon Town. Brendan Hobbs jumped at the chance of writing our review of 2013, which has turned into an epic feature of writing; this is only part one… I wondered for an age about the style in which I was going to write this review. Perhaps in a
Read moreShould Swindon have let 18 goal James Collins join Hibernian?
He may have scored 18 goals in 2012/13, including a hat trick at Stoke City and four against Portsmouth, but Swindon Town have allowed their top scorer James Collins join Hibernian for £200,000.

Rejuvenated by the departure of former Swindon manager Danny Wilson, Sheffield United deservedly took all three points to all but book their play-off place and leave Town anxiously looking over their shoulder at the chasing pack from 6th position in League One. The Blades are a bullying, bruising team and they quite simply battered Swindon in a breathless first-half display that
