06.01.25Matchday
For tired legs and a depleted squad, this is perhaps the worst away day to get at this time of the year. That’s nothing against Nottingham, to be clear....
03.01.25Matchday
The County Ground has not sounded like that for months. It has not felt that way for months. That, my friends, is the feeling of togetherness, maybe even hope.
02.01.25Matchday

11.12.24Matchday
All of a sudden, a sullen, careless, erratic group has energy, formation, and purpose. They look disciplined. They look calm. Blimey, they even look like...
Tuesday’s trip to Wycombe Wanderers is about as desirable as a particularly acute attack of IBS right now, as Town balance a fixture overload with the not...
10.12.24Matchday
Harry Smith’s perfectly imperfect hat-trick saw Swindon Town deliver a winning weekend for their fans as Holloway put faith in the kids and moved his team...
09.12.24Matchday
Swindon are now 24th out of 24, 92nd out of 92. Last. Worst. This is no longer a patch of bad form, nor is it a redeemable slide. It is a funeral march. A...
