As we continue our look at the atmosphere at the County Ground, Will Wardrop assess Swindon Town’s recent history in song, featuring the Thomsons, Pericard and Amankwaah…
Read moreGiven the delay in the new Swindon manager announcement you can feast your eyes on some more statistics I’ve gathered over the course of the season. This time I’ll be having a look at the defensive phase of play and the contribution of all players with a defensive role, in particular, these stats reveal how many goals have been conceded
Read moreReaders of my blog post on Monday may be surprised that I’m not calling for Wilson’s immediate dismissal following the goalless draw with Tranmere at the County Ground last night. After all, I did clearly state from the next two home games “Six points are needed. Any less and we can kiss goodbye to League One”. Yes, of course a win would’ve
Read moreAfter vastly improved performances in September, Town were brought back down to earth with defeat at League One new boys Dagenham & Redbridge. An early Dossevi goal couldn’t inspire Town to build on their advantage, falling to a 2-1 loss in the first ever League match between the two sides. The result was the biggest win the the history of
Read moreA busy month with six games and we remained unbeaten, taking the run to 13 games in the league without losing. February started with goalscoring revelation Charlie Austin ending speculation and putting pen to paper on a new contract. Now less than 12 months later, with new speculation the Town No.32 is set to leave, Town are again trying to secure the
Read moreAt last, Danny Wilson has finally secured an experienced loan signing to hopefully improve the inconstsistent Town defence. Andy Frampton joins on an initial 1 month loan deal from parent club Millwall and goes straight into the Town squad for the away match at Yeovil Town this Saturday. Bringing Frampton in on loan sees an interesting return of a player
Read moreYou would normally expect to win when scoring 3 goals, let alone 4. But somehow only Swindon can come back from the brink of complete disaster only to throw it all away with yet another error. Town were 3 nil down after 22 minutes, then we managed to go in level at half time. After both sides scored again it appeared the
Read moreOn paper we appeared to have strength in depth. I also thought…perhaps we might even be blessed with the ‘strongest’ Town squad for some years. So why hasn’t this manifested itself into an onfield advantage, leaving us winless after 5 league games? So far on the bench this season we’ve seen Amankwaah, Ball, Caddis, Dossevi, Ferry, Jean-Francois, Jesionkowski, Morrison, Prutton, Sheehan,
Read moreI’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
Read moreIs 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
