Swindon Town 2026/27 League Two Preview
Swindon Town are 12th with 11 points from eight games and have been beaten heavily twice. They drew at Northampton Town, beat Cheltenham Town 2-1, lost 3-0 at Oldham Athletic, beat Port Vale and Colchester United 3-1, then lost 4-0 at York City and 1-0 at Salford City before drawing with Accrington Stanley.
Aaron Drinan has five of the nine goals, with Ollie Clarke and Louis Millard adding one each. Jack Thomson has created 11 chances and taken 27 corners, and Connor Ripley has made 33 saves, more than any keeper in the division, for one clean sheet.
Ninth and 75 points last season left Swindon three points outside the play-offs. Ian Holloway’s 4-3-3 is scoring less than half as often per game, and the 33 saves Ripley has already made explain why 12 have gone past him.
