Last night’s results were painful for Swindon Town supporters as yet another game without a win now requires 17 points from only 21 available to ensure we have a realistic chance of avoiding the drop to League Two…judging by our season the odds are clearly against us. However, at the other end of the table…the top end…remember where we were
Read moreI’m still coming to terms to Swindon Town defender Scott Cuthbert’s bizarre comment to the Swindon Advertiser: “We are confident that if we put the performance in every week then we won’t be in the bottom four and that has got to be our aim. “When it comes to the end of the month we have eight games that we feel
Read moreGuff from the Adver earlier earlier today with Gary Rose’s article on his interview with Swindon Town defender Andy Frampton. Titled “The table DOES lie!”, the article widely quotes from Frampton, yet I can’t read anywhere Frampton making that exact statement in the title… A misleading title born from Frampton commenting: “We have to concentrate on what we are doing.
Read moreAs 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 moreHere’s one for you…so how many points do Swindon Town need to avoid relegation to League Two? After updating my usual predicted League One home / away form table (see below), I now find Yeovil Town predicted to finish 20th with 50.15 points and Swindon, unsurprisingly predicted, to finish bottom with a meagre 41.6 points. So with 11 games remaining for Town,
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
Read moreFollowing the full League One fixture programme this afternoon, for what it’s worth, here’s an updated league form table sorted by predicted finish position. The predicted total is calculated by points per game secured home and away, and projecting this forward for the remainder of the season. So Swindon have won 1.22 points per game at home with 5 games
Read moreSpeaking to the Swindon Advertiser, Danny Wilson believes 50 points will ensure Swindon Town will start the 2011/2012 season in League One. I’m inclined to agree with Danny and would go so far as to suggest we could avoid the drop with a few less than the normal 50 point target given the way things stand. Obviously I don’t want
Read moreAfter the recent lengthy winless run of games, a victory over Carlisle was a must. 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 moreA visual league table of League One to provide a clearer indication of the actual points gap between teams. Number in brackets is no. of games played. With 2 wins in a week, Tranmere Rovers show what a difference back to back wins can do to League position. Swindon’s position now 4 points off the bottom also hasn’t been helped by the
