    6th of March 2010 - 4 years ago today...

    We beat Swindon 4-0 at the County ground.

    Our team that day was...

    Andersen
    Anthony
    Coles
    Elliott
    Jones
    Lines
    Campbell
    Blizzard
    Hughes
    Kuffour
    Heffernan

    Subs...
    Evans
    Regan
    Wright
    Reece
    Swallow

    Trollope was our manager at the time.

    Swindon had Austin and Paynter up front who were banging goals in for fun!


    Do any of you remember this game? Were you there?

    I remember listening to it on the radio, pleasantly shocked. We'd just played abysmally against an even more abysmal Stockport, so I didn't see it coming. Top half of League One... those were the days...

    Yes, we won 3-0.

    I was at Yeovil 2 weeks after the Swindon away game and we won 3-0. And to think we lost 15 out of our 23 away matches that season...

    Yes we were third in the table. It lasted for about a month, but a 5-1 defeat at Norwich took the wind out of our sails.

    By the way ROD, Bradford weren't in our division that season.

    our 1-0 home win over oldham on 12/09/09 put us 3rd http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-one/2009-2010/table/2009-09-12

    our next game was norwich which we got hammered on 03/10/09 but then didnt play on 10/10/09 which meant teams who did play over took us and never regained 3rd again http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-one/2009-2010/table/2009-10-10
