Swindon Supermarine – One To Watch

On loan striker David Sims-Burgess with seven goals in the last seven games has made a major contribution to their recent form since joining from Taunton Town in November. It’s no coincidence that significant improvements in their results commenced with the arrival of Head Coach, Stuart Fleetwood, in September and their last away result was an impressive 2-1 defeat of Gosport Borough. When Fleetwood arrived from Gloucester City they only had one point from nine games on the board, they have since picked up 16 points in the last 11 games.
