It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Tough to take wasn’t it? Fair result though… Leyton Orient were well organised, had a game plan and left Wiltshire with the three points. Swindon had a more than decent shout for a penalty waved away. A decision which led to scenes nobody wants to see on a football

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. How do you explain it? This game called football. A couple of Saturdays ago Swindon Town made national news for the wrong reasons. Humbled by a non-league team in the FA Cup (again) and a tad embarrassed. Seven days on it was back to form and

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Lightning doesn’t strike twice apparently. Well that’s fine unless its the FA Cup when it obviously does.

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Twelve months on from when they dumped us ceremoniously out of the FA Cup, Macclesfield return to haunt us again. It was a depressing afternoon wasn’t it? Swindon deservedly beaten by a team which we should

That’s what happened for the majority of the afternoon at Boundary Park last Saturday. Quite frankly there was little else of interest in a match

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. So we’re world beaters one minute not very good the next. That seems to be the week summed up if you believe many of the comments about the Town’s two performances. Certainly Friday against Notts County they were excellent. Some of the football was of an

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. New York…So good they named it twice. Well last weekend the iconic Frank Sinatra song boomed out before a game at the New York Stadium, Rotherham, which saw this young Swindon team score not twice, but four times. It didn’t appear that would be the case early on

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Seems odd doesn’t it? Off to New York on Saturday to watch the Town? Well technically Rotherham rather than Manhattan. It got me wondering how do people come up with names like the New York Stadium for a ground in South Yorkshire. I’m sure

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. You might be forgiven for thinking Swindon Town looked a bit like Casualty at the moment, or for those old enough to remember Emergency Ward 10. Players have been falling by the wayside at an alarming rate. Preston North End saw those in red and white

After playing in the limelight in midweek, Swindon Town travelled to Preston North End hoping to secure a first away league victory of the season. Vic Morgan was one of 386 Town fans making the trip up the M6… Lets face it Saturday was awful. There must be something about Preston North End and Swindon Town at Deepdale. Twelve months ago it was
