It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Well the well it started quietly didn’t it? A great win at Walsall and talk of a couple of loan signings in the air. Then a touch of silence and suddenly a flurry of activity. I’m not one who usually gets too excited about

Swindon continued their impressive form away from the County Ground, as goals from the prolific Matt Ritchie and the not-so-prolific Simon Ferry clinched a comfortable 2-0 win at Walsall to climb into the play-off places, writes Rosie MacGillivray.

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Not been the most inspiring of weeks has it?

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 win at Southampton, September yielded better performances and all important wins as Town put their season back on some sort of the right track. First up came a tricky trip to Cumbria to face Carlisle, where Town came away with a credible goalless draw. The result sent Town to the bottom of the league…who would have suspected that only a

After trailing 2nd place by 14 points back on 12th December, Town moved into automatic contention with two successive 3-0 victories over a fruitful Easter weekend.
