New year, same old Swindon.

The New Year’s Day victory over Gillingham pushed Ian Holloway right to the top of the Town managers’ table for the past decade.

This was the 35th win of Ian Holloway’s reign, equaling Richie Wellens’ tally. Wellens was in charge of Town for 83 games, Holloway has had the gig for 68.

Of all the managers and head coaches to take charge of Swindon for 10 games or more, none has a better win percentage since Paolo Di Canio.
