DAN THE FAN: Keeping Grant in January is vital for promotion hopes

DAN THE FAN: Keep the faith or face continual disappointment
Tuesday night’s home defeat to Plymouth Argyle saw Swindon’s poor run of results continue as Richie Wellens’ side have now lost four of their last five in all competitions, resulting in a lot of the early enthusiasm for this season starting to creep away. But despite this poor run of results, all Town fans must […]
DAN THE FAN: Peter Downsborough (1943-2019)
For the second time in just eleven days, an injury to a key player plays a major role in the outcome as Town never recover and were second best all over the pitch against a well-organised Newport County side.

DAN THE FAN: Yates’ return causes selection headache
The feel-good factor at Swindon Town continues to gather momentum as Richie Wellens’ side were unlucky to leave Cheltenham with just a point after dominating an entertaining first 45 minutes at Whaddon Road.
