Swindon have played nine times at Whaddon Road, and never tasted victory, making Cheltenham the opponent Town have visited most often without coming away on top. That’s not just a bogey team, it’s a full-on snotty toddler.

The Australian, who has been connected with Swindon in some capacity for nine years, released a statement on Wednesday (October 9), in which he addressed the Trust's call to action.

This inherent split between the public statements from those inside the club, and the expectations of the fanbase, is fast becoming a terminal chasm.

SWINDON TOWN vs HARROGATE TOWN: No team in League Two has conceded more shots on target than Harrogate this season, while their expected goals conceded is larger than all bar Newport. In simple terms, they offer teams chances in front of goal, good chances.

The striker was training at Beversbrook on Thursday (October 3), but head coach Mark Kennedy remained non-committal over the role he would be able to play this weekend.

Head coach Mark Kennedy said on Monday (September 30) that all three remain "on course" with their recoveries. However, there was no commitment to the trio being available at Prenton Park.

PORT VALE vs SWINDON TOWN: Going into the game, however, there is considerable concern around Swindon’s creativity. While they may lead the league for crosses (175) and cross accuracy, Swindon’s forwards make the keeper work with just one in four attempts on goal.

Jack Bycroft has faced 17 shots on target for the 10 goals Town have let in thus far in League Two. Only three defences – Barrow, Walsall and Fleetwood Town – have allowed their keeper to be exposed less often.
