Pre-season previews - Swindon Town

Last updated : 27 July 2004 By Cory Hazlehurst
Owing to the fact that this site is unavailable from Wednesday 28th July for up to 72 hours, I am putting on the three pre-season previews I have for this week on the website now. So here is Ian Bennett on Swindon's hopeful promotion bid...

1) How did you fare last season? Best moment, worst moment etc.
Into the play off's. The worst moment had to be losing the play off semi-final on pen's
after we had been winning with
2 mins of the game to go.
 Best moment - getting into the play off's
 2) How do you think you'll do this season? Hopes, final position.
Hopefully another top half finish,
 3) What's your squad like, new signings, etc?


We have finally signed
Jerel Ifil after 4 loans spells with us over the past couple of
years, the only big name to have
left was Tommy Mooney wo joined Oxford United.
 4) Which youngster will make the biggest impression in your team this season?
Hopefully new signing Jerel Ifil
 5) What's your manager like and will he still be there at the end of the season?
Most likely he will still be there, he a good at finding new players, but many don't rate
his "people skills"
 6) Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
We haven't had much investment, but with plans for a new stadium things should be
heading in the right direction.
 7) Which team do you want to beat the most and why?
Bristol City as they are our local rivals, and over the past few season have beaten us.
 8) Predict your champions and runner up and the 4 Play-Off teams.
Bristol City, Swindon, Walsall, Bradford, Bournemouth, and Hartlepool
