On paper, it really is a lovely run in. Shame we're absolute garbage and worrying more about what's happening beneath us in the table than plotting a way to get promoted out of what is a sorry division.

Tracking the relegation line is much more realistic right now. Thankfully only two go down.

Sutton look dead and buried but the race for 3rd bottom is still very open.

FGR and Doncaster both having won 3 and drawn 1 in their last 5 games seem to be improving.

Colchester under the dreadful Cowleys havent won in 6 games and seem in free fall.

Sutton, Grimsby, Salford, Notts C and us all with 1 win in 5 each.

17th (47 pts) Notts C 10 games left
18th (44 pts) Swindon 8 games left
19th (43 pts) Doncaster 10 games left
20th (40 pts) Salford 9 games left
21st (38 pts) Grimsby 10 games left
22nd (33 pts) FGR 9 games left
23rd (32 pts) Col U 11 games left
24th (27 pts) Sutton 8 games left

... and everyone bar Colchester and Sutton have a better record in the last 5 games, and Sutton have an equal record in the last 5 to us.

If Colchester overtake us I will eat Clem's hat. He doesn't have a hat that I know of but I'm sure a suitably corked hat can be supplied. They're 13 points off doing that and are in dreadful form. I think we could not get another point and we'd still stay up.

That doesn't make it okay.

Kangaroo Klem’s first season of ownership was a complete fluke. The squad assembled by Garner was also done on the cheap, we just had a little bit of luck in that Garner got the best out of those players he bought in. I believe that gave Crocodile Dundee the unfounded belief that football ownership was ‘easy’.

Atleast Power had a football background, something the Flaming Galah doesn’t have. Power understood the logistics of turgid lower league football on a shoestring.

The reality is, Morph doesn’t have the ability or inclination to throw money at Swindon Town. I believe he thought that naturally his second season would have resulted in promotion, which in itself would have brought financial relief for him. Well, that didn’t happen and the black hole is getting bigger and bigger.

The other concern is the stadium purchase deal with the council. As I understand it, the club need to commit to spending a fair wedge (£2m ?) on improving facilities before a certain date on the horizon or the council can buy back the ground. I’m not even sure the Dunny Installer has the money.

Attendances will be decimated next season, and here we are on a downward spiral until the next charlatan owner appears, and we will all be filled with hope, the pints will be poured in the CGHotel and we will proclaim the arrival of the new messiah.
Fast forward 12 months and we will be back at square one. It’s the natural cycle of Swindon Town football club.

Plenty of other clubs have been down this route and have bounced back stronger.

We’ll be no different.

Sutton                                 Colchester                     FGR
FGR (a) 22nd                       Walsall (h) 8th               Sutton (h) 24th           
Accrington (h) 15th               Mansfield (a) 1st           Doncaster (a) 19th
Salford (a) 20th                    Newport (h) 12th           Stockport (h) 3rd
Swindon (h) 18th                  Tranmere (a) 16th          Crewe (a) 4th
Stockport (h) 3rd                 Wrexham (h) 2nd           Franchise (h) 5th
Harrogate (a) 14th                Stockport (h) 3rd           Mansfield (a) 1st
Crawley (h) 9th                     Crawley (a) 9th             Wrexham (a) 2nd
Franchise (a) 5th                  Grimsby (h) 21st            Morecambe (a) 11th
                                           Notts (a) 17th                Notts (h) 17th
                                           Crewe (h) 4th

When you look at both Colchester / FGR they both have a very difficult run in, both playing at least 4 of the current top 7 in their remaining games. I struggle to see where Colchester pick up many points from those games as Walsall/Crawley/Newport are in decent form as well.

I have decided I don’t give a fuck about the Beamish Line.
This season is as bad as it gets so where we finish in relation to that season is neither here nor there.
I am concerned about where we finish in relation to the dotted line.
