The table doesn't lie - one win, four defeats.  Yes it could be worse but is not good.

Lets hope things turn for the better, starting tomorrow and we can forget it come May.

We are talking more historic shitness here...in all our FL history since 1920....you will only find 4 seasons where less points were taken and 3 where the total was equalled after 5 games.

Let's get a bit of perspective on these seasons ...61/62 opened with 2 draws and 3 defeats.....Bert's Babes, very young side, no pressure on a manager clearly making improvements, safe mid table finish.

80/81....Bob Smith, previous near success, popular manager but spent a bit 5, opening defeats....sacked.

93/94...Prem...1 point taken from first 5 games, but we all knew it would be a struggle...no pressure on Gorman, he could have jumped with Hoddle, but had some goodwill, relegated.

98/99...2 points from first 5...McMahon survived that for a couple of games, but soon sacked after fan protest.

What about the 3 points after 5 games seasons?

55/56 widely regarded as battling with last season as worst ever....the Board don't appoint manager, but feel they can do the job themselves...bottom of Div 3S apply for re-election.

56/57 initially Board carry on same policy, but after 3 points in 5 appoint Bert Head...start of an upward trend.

2010/11 Widely regarded as the worst season in STFC history.

I'm inclined to think a horror show tomorrow will see di Canio consigned to the dustbin of STFC history, a point and he goes on.

The Leon Clarke situation has seemed to galvanise most Town fans behind Di Canio. It has been a welcome distraction for him. But another defeat saturday is unthinkable.

Dave Jones is a good manager.

September, 45 BC
Caesar becomes emperor for life, Hail Caesar and all that Roman salute business

1879
Revd  William Pitt, founder of Swindon Town, shown in photo in 4-0 defeat against Rover FC, you could call it a bad start

September 1st 1939 
German bloke invades Poland, after Lazio fan signed Pact of Steel with him in the May previous

September 2nd 1939 Meanwhile Swindon continue with bad starts and only gain their first point of the season by holding the Shots at home 

September 3rd 1939 
Lucky let off for Town as Chamberlain declares war on Germany and the league program is suspended

September 28th 1985
A 1-0 defeat leaves STFC with 7 points from 8 games, 4th from bottom and 14 points behind the leaders but still Macari isn’t sacked for once and for all.  Lucky let off as rookie manager gets the hang of it and STFC go up as champions

September 23rd 1989
A heavy 4-0 defeat at Leeds as Town are just one spot above the bottom 3 with a rookie Ardiles from fascist Argentina in charge (oh, these shit starts) , and still not sacked.  Lucky let off via the play offs that the FL correct

April 1  1991
ok footballer but crap newbie manager with weird views about the disabled takes over and sees Town win 2, draw 1 and lose 6 as they are nearly relegated but the board show patience and he gets lucky, very lucky, the next season


January 2005 
PDC in fascist salute controversy at Lazio 3-1 Roma – Italian minister comments “poor lad, like all Lazio supporters he is just not used to winning”

December 2010
After the usual shit start it actually gets worse after fans see Swindon’s last home win of the campaign, eventually Paul Hart has to take over

31 August 2011 
Lazio supporter not used to winning with no experience in charge - 2 wins from 7 games is unheard of, shurely he'll be sacked or might there be yet another lucky let off?

The 39 side though only lost 2 out of 3, but similarly lost its star striker Alan Fowler, who'd managed a brace v Aldershot, in his last game for the club. Fowler's last game was brought about by fighting a fascist...unfortunately in his case rather than driving back to London in his kit...he died on a Normandy beach.
