I never doubted our ability to eventually deliver and we certainly deserved the 3 points against a rudderless Southampton, whose arrogant and deluded management and fans need to realise they are a League One club. It was a tight affair with possession 49/51 in favour of Southampton. Chances were limited with an equal amount of shots on and off target. It was only in
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,

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.

The 28 year old central midfielder joins Town with vast experience, having played 317 Football League games and scored 18 goals. Prutton excelled earlier in his career, first at Nottingham Forest then at Southampton in the Premier League following a £2.5M transfer in 2003. Since then Prutton has established
Read moreWith an eleven point gap between Swindon and 7th place Colchester, even if worst came to the worst and Town were to lose on Saturday, I’m still feeling confident that a play-off place is all-but secured. Now then…a few weeks ago after our defeats to both Bristol Rovers and MK Dons, I had written-off any chance of Swindon fighting for
Read moreI couldn’t get to the Southampton game last night, so a big thanks to Iain for this excellent write up. Swindon’s final game in hand couldn’t really have been a much trickier proposition. Southampton had won their last 7 games in the league at St Mary’s, scoring 23 goals in the process. Town came into the game with some confidence
