The closing stages of Swindon Town’s 2018/19 season could provide the blueprint for how they push forward into the future.

Here we are: the final month of the 2024/25 season. Thanks to a couple of quick victories last week ending a run of a few games without one, Swindon have equalled last season’s points tally with five games to spare. A couple more wins from the remaining five games would see both the Morfuni Meridian and Beamish Line, respectively, firmly in our rear view mirror.

EI, EI, EIO.

With survival mathematically certain and the play-offs a utopian 11 points away, these are the narratives we must buy into, that or hoping our team will turn up and spoil the day of other teams with much more to play for.

Against Morecambe, it was clear the other team, playing for their lives, wanted it that little bit more than us. Against Wimbledon, chasing down automatic promotion, Swindon were solid and hung in the game for long enough to eventually profit from a team buckling under the pressure of a Town attacking onslaught and their own season ambitions.
