It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Let’s be honest it was a bit of a battle, but what a battle. Swindon’s performance at Valley Parade was exceptional. Despite some, quite frankly, awful refereeing and conceding an early goal, the Town came away with three excellent points. My reaction at the

With Louis Thompson gone, but back, and Jack Stephens and Jonathan Obika back, again, Alex Cooke looks at how Swindon did out of the summer’s moves. 1.

Read moreThis has been a week in which Swindon Town replaced Danny Wilson as manager, perhaps expecting an immediate positive impact on results having gone 11 games without a win. Yet the move to bring in Paul Hart yielded nothing, apart from leaving a bumper 10,489 crowd flat and bemused on the final whistle, as Town suffered another bout of failing

After last year’s 3-0 away defeat at the hands of Colchester in their dreary stadium, I vowed that I would not return here for this season’s encounter. However, I felt quite positive all week that
