Swindon Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Swindon Town, who have the most conceded goals (37) in League One, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Wellens, the Swindon Town manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Swindon played 2-2 against Charlton Athletic in their previous match. A 1-2 defeat away at Doncaster Rovers before that.

As mentioned above, Swindon drew the match against Charlton Athletic. Manager R. Wellens brought on Brett Pitman to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

After this away game Swindon return home for a League One game against Milton Keynes Dons. That game is only three sleeps after this.
