September

SWINDON TOWN 1 OXFORD UNITED 1
i'M pleased to have that over and done with to be honest. As expected I was met with 15,000 jeers and boo's. It hurt. I couldnt concentrate on the game for those first fifteen mintues, the abuse was relentless. Many other players and managers could brush it off...
SWINDON VS OXFORD

Opening Day
Pre-Match
I'm sure opening day of the season is always a nervy time for all managers. For both, experienced and young managers. Mine however is a baptism of fire. This opening day is my first, Burton away. Not the most marquee clash but a difficult one all the same, especially as...
Pre-Season (Part Two)
Pre-Season is over and I felt it went well. We managed to pick up some good results and do our buisness relatively early. I feel we've set the foundations for a good season ahead! The players understand my philosophy and are working hard. There seems to be something about...
