The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread

[Tails]

Wes, Caddis, Nate T, Greer, Playoff Edition Cuthbert, Ritchie, Playoff Edition Douglas, Kasim/Ferry, Ward, Austin, Paynter

Yasser v Playoff Ferry is a tricky one but largely it's the playoff team by a distance still.

Can we have the Paynter that we had from Nov-April of that season and not the disinterested guy we had for the playoff final!?

[Reg Smeeton]

I'd take the whole play off team.

Swear we very rarely end up with good left backs

Left back is an odd position, insofar as plenty of top teams seem to have a weakness there.

Think it's to do with the fact, that you need the build of a long distance runner for the attacking stuff, but that's not much help for the defensive stuff.  Do you pick someone who gives you attacking, and accept the defensive frailties...or go negative and pick a defender. Another option, of course, is 3 at the back, to try and render the position redundant. Surely no coincidence that Bale was proper shit at left back, as it's a difficult position to play.

Given that top sides like Real, Barca and the Spanish national team have had a bit of a problem here, it's hardly surprising that we have.

Is Navarro still alive?

Not an ex ( yet ) but Kayden Jackson has been recalled from his loan at Supermarine so is back at the CG

The dearth of good left backs is easily explained, by there being a ratio of that only about 1 in 10 people are lefties.

Oh....so not as simple as his time is up there?..

Not exactly an ex Town player but Kayden Jackson scored another 2 today for Marine making it 11 goals from 11 starts, not bad even though 3 have been penalties.

Jackson completed his loan spell with todays game and is looking at going out on loan to a higher league club than Marine according to his interview yesterday on BBCRS.

I see Charlie Austin got his 7th of the season for QPR today, Johnny Smith and Benson(2) both scored for Luton, Rooney scored a pen for Oldham, Parkin for Exeter, Fallon for St Johnstone and Abdulla for Barnet.

Evidently not. From the Adver story -

The youngster last week finalised his third consecutive month-long stay at the Webb's Wood Stadium and featured in the 2-1 defeat to Tiverton on Saturday.

But Town have now made use of a clause in the loan deal to bring the Win a Pro Contract winner back to the County Ground with 24 hours' notice.

[DarloSTFC84]

Must be to do with the above comment, suggesting that he's off to play in a higher league..

[Flashheart]

He's off to Oxford City

[Benzel]

I never rated Morrison, he was slow and made a howler once every 5/6 games. He must have improved massively to have played in the Prem.

Can't be doing too bad to be captaining Reading.

Nope
Or I wouldnt have used the term "recalled"

[bigbobjoylove]

John Bostock has played 11 games so far for Royal Antwerp in the Belgian second tier who are 5th. Managed by former 'linked the Town job' Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

[Batch]

Can't be doing too bad to be captaining Reading.

That was then, this is now. He was 19 and yet expected (by Fitton?) to in part fill Greer's shoes. Unrealistic, should not have been under the pressure. Presumably he's come on a long way since, as you'd expect.

LJF seemed a nice bloke, and Frampton did his best, but neither were good enough at compensating someone developing their game.

[THE FLASH]

At York v scunny...Easyjet came on for Scunny at York 2 up.....4 up at halftime. Now 4:1.....and card happy ref...excellent stuff.

Easyjet a bit shit so far.
