Yesterday I went to my first Swindon Town game this season. It ended in a 2-1 defeat to Notts County.
I wasn't expecting the home side to get anything out of the game as they were still without a win this season and Notts County were one of the promotion favourites.
Yet we left the game more disappointed than expected at the defeat as Swindon had been the better team, beaten only by two clinical strikes from County's veteran striker David McGoldrick. So, disappointed but at least hopeful for the rest of the season.
Swindon music legends XTC's The Disappointed is about lost love rather than an undeserved defeat in the fourth tier of English football but I think it works here. It reached number 33 in 1992, is on the album Nonsuch released in the same year and it's very good.
