Now that we've seen the whole squad in action what do you think would be our strongest X1?At the moment Id go for this lot
GK Heaton
RB Jenkins
CH O'Hanlon
CH Collins
LB Smith
RM Shakes
CM Miglioranzi
CM Pook
LM Roberts
S Fallon
S Cureton

Really difficult to leave out Whalley Heath and Nicolau but as Kingy so wisely said"you cant have everybody"

Heaton

Gurney
O'Hanlon
Ifil (I still think he'll come good)
Smith

Shakes (Summerbee :x )
Whalley
Pook
Nicolau

Fallon
Cureton (only just because I think all he needs is confidence)


Migz is a quality player, but at the moment the shirts are Pook and Whalleys to lose...same with Cureton//Roberts

I believe so.....if he keeps up this form he wont be a Swindon player for much longer....

i gotta say i've not been bowled over by pook. his goal against wycombe only came cos he lost control of the ball and it bounced back to him to hit. that said we don't have many other options...but in pre season i thought ben wells looked alot more spritely in central midfield

Are you mad ?

Pook and Fallon are the bestest.

yep, he said in the matchday programme that he loves playing for the club he supported as a boy, his favourite footballing moment was when we were in the Premiership and his worst footballing moment was losing on penalties to Brighton in the playoffs.

it's great hearing a player say that sort of thing  :oops:

So great to have Swindon fans playing for Swindon.
That's what I like about Reevesy, he loves the club even if they weren't his boyhood heroes.

I can't believe people are putting Collins at centre back in their 'strongest XIs' He was very poor in that position against Yeovil. If you had to remove Ifil from the side* I would have Gurney playing CB with Jenkins at RB.

*I wouldn't

It's a tough call, but Jerel makes soooo many mistakes. Okay Gurns dived in and gave away the penalty, but Ifil passed the ball straight to their guy in the first place.

If only Comyn-platt was given a chance, I was really impressed with his performance against wycombe.

Well he is on the bench, don't think he should start just yet.
