Fortunes of Swindon and Doncaster have hung on tiny margins this term... this will be an acid test of Town's potential

Head coach Mark Kennedy has rued bad luck repeatedly, and while it is justifiable to slap that back as a lame excuse, increasingly there seems to be evidence to suggest the difference between a dreadful campaign and a relatively good one is going to be wafer-thin.

Nine points and 16 places may separate Swindon Town and Doncaster Rovers going into this weekend, but are the two teams actually having very similar seasons?

Bear with me, I appreciate this sounds ridiculous.

After all, Donny are implanted in the promotion race and Town, with two wins in 11 matches, are closer to the bottom two than the playoff places.

But dig into the campaign a little, and the two sides share several fundamental characteristics and, but for small margins in key areas, could be experiencing very different situations.
