Swindon Town are threatening to look up for the first time in months... manager and fans would do well to call it quits

Swindon Town used the stage of Ian Holloway’s 1,000th game in management to produce their most emphatic performance of his short reign, and give further weight to the claim this team is improving quickly under his guidance.

Grimsby Town arrived at the County Ground with a reputation for being a swift, dynamic side with an impressive away record. They run hard, think on their feet, and have navigated their way into the promotion picture.

On Saturday night, they made the long trek back to the north east having been out-run, out-thought, and generally out-maneuvered.
