The last few weeks have been almost unnervingly smooth sailing for Swindon Town.

Since that loss at home to Barnet, the Town have won three consecutive league clashes, with the side growing in confidence on the pitch and starting to play some increasingly stylish stuff along the way.

Where pre-season showed promise, and the very early knockings of the campaign made us aware of both the potential strengths and weaknesses of the team, it really does feel like something good is beginning to take root. That three-goal triumph over then-league leaders Crewe Alexandra felt like an early statement win, such was the ease with which Ian Holloway’s side brushed aside their opponents.

The combination of three thoroughly deserved points in Cheshire and the performance for parts of the home game against Shrewsbury Town seems to have left an impression on Holloway, who named an unchanged side for a third game in a row against Barrow on Saturday.
