LET’S be honest, the first half of the season at the County Ground has been painful. We’ve gone from the unconvincing signings in the summer to a new formation not producing results and ultimately costing Mark Cooper his job. Thankfully, we did see an upturn in form with the arrival of Martin Ling. Town went from joint bottom to six points off the play-offs in just six weeks, but all that hard work is now in jeopardy as we look for our third manager of the season.

DAN THE FAN: Finally feeling the Force AS THE world celebrates the return of the greatest movie franchise of all time in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we witnessed an awakening of our own at the County Ground last Saturday. In short glimpses over the 90 minutes you could see a much better Swindon Town side wanting to break out and play some of the football we witnessed last season.

AFTER Swindon’s winless run stretched to its sixth game on Tuesday night, the gap to the League Two trapdoor is worryingly starting to narrow. With six games left and Town on 51 points, there should be no need to worry, but with the gap now down to seven points and the squad looking as motivated as an Oxford fan after a Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final, nerves are creeping in.

LUKE Williams’ search for his first win as full-time Swindon Town boss moves into another week as his side continues to sleepwalk to the end of the season. Thanks to a run of seven games without a win, Town find themselves facing a small chance of being dragged into the fight to stay in League One – making this weekend’s home game with 15th-placed Bury a significant one.

AFTER hanging by a thread for many weeks, Swindon’s play-off hopes were finally cut after an Easter to forget. Not only did Town taste defeat twice in four days, but they also managed to do it with some extra humiliation thrown in for good measure. Friday evening’s 4-1 home defeat to Wigan Athletic was, at times, hard to watch, as over a 10-minute spell in the second half, Town’s backline vanished, allowing the away side to put the game beyond doubt.

DAN THE FAN: Who has made the grade? It's more good riddance than goodbye to the 2015/16 season as a Town fan, but how have Swindon's players rated this season? Lawrence Vigouroux - 6 (out of 10) Despite a couple of major hiccups, a decent season from the loanee, could we see him again next season? Nathan Thompson - 7 Another good season from the clubs leader, team suffered massively in his absence.

DAN THE FAN: The manager is true to his word SIX weeks on from being dumped out of the FA Cup in humiliating fashion, whilst sitting joint bottom of League One and 14 points away from a play-off place, Swindon now find themselves sitting in 14th place and six points off the top six. It’s been an impressive turnaround for a side who looked like relegation fodder just a couple of months ago before the arrival of new manager Martin Ling and his new set-up.

After a lacklustre European Championships, the real deal returns this weekend, as the Football League storms back into life. As thousands of fans are excitedly waiting to witness their team kick-off a new season, the lack of transfer activity at the County Ground has seemed to quell some Town fans excitement for the season ahead. Former Town loanee Lawrence Vigouroux and midfielders Johnny Goddard and Conor Thomas are the three new names to arrive at the County Ground over the summer.

DAN THE FAN: Six of the best and worst WITH 2015 coming to an end in a few weeks, it’s time to take a look back at the key moments from the year - the good, the bad and the ugly. In typical Swindon fashion it’s not been a straightforward year, as we’ve watched the club earn the chance to move up to the second tier of English football and witnessed a 12-game winless run resulting in a change of manager.
