In the time I've been supporting Swindon Town, I've never experienced relegation. The last time they were in position this precarious was my first real season following the team, back in 2000/01 when Danny Invincible's last minute volley spared Alan Reeves' blushes and kept us up. Sadly that sort of romanticism has been missing from the County Ground this year. There was no Mr Invincible to save us this time.

 

I've seen some pretty poor players at the CG over the years, and although they were poor, they at least tried. Step forward Steve Robinson, David Duke, Giuliano Grazioli, Bart Griemink. Basically any player from the early 00's (excluding Bobby Howe. He was just plain God awful, no one cares if he did try). I can't recall seeing a team of players badly in need of three points having such a laz attitude. There was no passion, no desire, no urgency. All except Rhys Evans, but for crying outloud, he's a goalkeeper! He did his best and wasn't at fault for the Dons' winning goal.

Needn't have turned up today. And they needn't bother turning up next season, as they're clearly not fit to wear the shirt.
