Our new feature asks a Swansea City supporter every week about the latest goings-on at the club.
This week we ask ‘hillo’ for his views:
KevinE: Swansea have surprised everyone with our impressive start to the season, do you believe we have the overall ability and strength within the squad to stay in the top 6?
Hillo: We are playing well at the moment and if we keep playing the way we are I believe we have got a chance as long as we stay injury free (fingers crossed) and keep performing to a high standard.
KevinE: Lee Trundle is in all the headlines recently; can you see him going in the transfer window?
Hillo: At the moment I can see him going if the right club comes in for him at the right price. Every player has got a price and if a top championship/ lower Premiership team comes in with a £1million plus bid I think he will go. Hopefully he won?t because he?s been the best player for us this season by a mile apart from Britton.
KevinE: How many players and in what positions do you think Jackett should be looking to bring in in January?
Hillo: I can?t really see KJ strengthening the team at the moment. We are playing well and no need to change it. If he was to buy someone I would say a defender / defensive winger but I wouldn?t really change it.
KevinE: Marcus Bean returned to the club for a second loan spell and he has told the press that he?d like to stay permanently, do you feel he is worth keeping or do we have better players to choose from?
Hillo: I reckon we?ve got good enough players here instead of Bean. I really like OTJ, I think he?s got the potential to b a really good player for the club. He?s played really well so far ? a bargain buy in the summer – well done OTJ!!!
KevinE: Andy Robinson, one of our best players at the club, is not getting in the side, is this because Jackett goes for the more defensive approach to the centre of midfield?
Hillo: I agree, Robbo is one of our best players. He has a tremendous talent but the other players are playing brilliantly this season and are keeping him out of the team such as McLeod who has been awesome this season and fully deserves that left wing position but I think he should be playing more of a central and attacking role. Another option is playing him behind the strikers.
KevinE: After 3 games without a win, we thrashed Chesterfield 5-1. We face some tough games in November against the likes of Sc**thorpe, Southend and Yeovil, do you think we are capable of getting results against the other teams that were promoted with us from League Two?
Hillo: The next 3 games I reckon could be make or break for the Swans. We have 3 difficult fixtures against good opposition but there?s no reason why we shouldn?t beat them. We should be looking at winning 7-9 points out of these 3 games. Southend will be hard but if we beat them we will definitely go up.
KevinE: The bookies see us as the favourites to win the LDV Vans Trophy, a trip to the Millenium Stadium for a cup final would be awesome, do you think we can get that far?
Hillo: A trip to Cardiff could most certainly be on the agenda as the big names are out e.g. Nottingham Forest. Swansea are definitely the favourites and hopefully we can go to Cardiff with a bit of luck.
