Harry Smith was good. One dimensional but who cares if it works most of the time.

Him pulling an injured Kilkenny onto the pitch to waste time was very funny shithousing.

Smith for me. Works so hard. What a strike for the equaliser

Sobowale for me. Good at both ends and great assist for the winner. Followed closely by Ofobohr and Smith

Harry Smith for me. Brilliant goal and fantastic hold up play all night

Smudger for me, honourable mentions for Kilkenny and Westley.

Feel bad not voting for Westley.  Cool goal, intelligent touches and excellent closing down of the County midfield.  His performance was the highest over expectations.  But if he can repeat this, his partnership with my true MOM, Harry Smith, they might become one of L2s best strike partnerships of the run in..

Now for a commanding keeper (given the power of the shot, not sure how easy it was for Bycroft to guide it away)

Difficult one:
- Ofoborh was everywhere and was my MotM up until being taken off.
- Smith was superb in both boxes (Showed the taller Admiral Penguin how to do it)
- Westley was very, very impressive when he came on. Stayed close to Smith, made intelligent runs, was in the right places and that finish!
- Sobowale had a torrid time in the first have, but was more assured in the second
- Holloway isn’t an option, but if he was, I’d pick him. Right in game changes. Reforged team at half time and got a better showing in the second. All his subs made impact. His judgment on Westley looked spot on too!

Better go Smith I suppose

The engine room were outstanding tonight.
Went for Kilkenny.

The Smith we have now is so different from the loan version that we saw years ago.
A proper mature centre forward who could thrive in L1 as well.

Harry Smith’s first away win with Swindon since Yeovil in November 2017…

Smith for me for winning all the headers...goal was icing.

Drinan was a work horse....he puts in a shift that lad...whatever he lacks in finesse.

Harry Smith. Led the line really well.

Kilkenny busy in midfield and Sobowale put in his usual solid performance, including an assist. Westley looked useful in his 30 minutes and a lovely left footed finish.

Stick a competent keeper in nets and I think we're all good. Bycroft's staticness when crosses come into the box, for me is our main achilles heel.

On the other side, early days but Nicholls looks poor and I'm starting to become a bit concerned about Cox, another bad performance, always seems to happen in the games I watch!

Cant say ive been impressed with Nicholls so far. He was pretty much invisible first half

Ditto. But he's still coming up to speed/rusty so still time for that to change. Or not

Smith for me, but Sobowale and Kilkenny and for that matter Ofoborh too all did well.

Graham^ Westley for me. Match winner. Made an instant impact. He played like Glatzel did when he came in last season...hopefully if we sign him perm, he doesn't follow a similar trend  ;)

Tbh, I always think no matter how a player has played, if they get the match winning goal then it's almost given by automation. One of those Urban legend type of things. I don't make the rules  :D





^I know it's Joe

I'd hardly call conceiving Joe with his Mum 20 years ago, an "instant impact".  But well done to Graham and his "Missus", all the same.
