Swindon started the season brilliantly and at the end of October they were top of the table but it all started to go downhill after hammering Oxford 4-1 in December, when Swindon managed just three more wins from the remaining 26 league games which also included an embarrassing FA Cup home defeat to non-league Stevenage. They finished the season in a lowly 18th position, and the pressure on McMahon to resign was immense, but chairman Rikki Hunt refused to sack him.
