Are the players any good? Here&#8217;s what I think of every single one of them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Freestone-Swansea&#8217;s best player, a rock for ten years.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Howard-Gone backwards, started with some decent performances but has just got worse. Which is disappointing seen as he does have talent.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bound-Badly in need of Jason Smith, he just isn&#8217;t the same player without him, also needs to learn how to pass the ball.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Smith-Needs to get fit because Swansea need him badly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jenkins-From the start this season it looks like Jenks best position is Right back and not center midfield. He really could make that position his own in the future.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Todd-Disappointing at the start of this season but was excellent at the end of last? Still young and needs time but is one for the future.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>O&#8217;Leary-Turning into an excellent young defender.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>De-Vulgt- Hasn&#8217;t shown what he is capable of yet.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cusack-Club captain and the most experienced player we have, I&#8217;d rather see him in the team then not in it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Phillips-Excellent young midfielder.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Romo-Bad start to the season. Is another with talent, an excellent passer of the ball and decent crosser. We could use him in top form.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mazzina- Hasn&#8217;t settled yet but looks promising, let&#8217;s hope he turns out to be a good signing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mumford-Can play any where. An Excellent passer of the ball and a good tackler. Haven&#8217;t worked out his best position yet but another one for the future.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lacey-Do not rate this player at all, I may be wrong.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appleby-Badly affected by injury. On his day the most skillful and talented player at the club. Has shown no interest at the start of this season. I hope that changes because when he can be bothered he lights up the vetch field.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roberts-Skillful, quick and outstanding work rate. Can&#8217;t see him being with us much longer. He should be using his talented on a bigger stage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Casey-Injury hit career which is disappointing because he has shown promise. When fit decent player.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coates-What has happen to him, burst onto the seen but has just gone backwards? Every game I see him he just gets worse. Maybe some time away form the first team would help his game.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Keegan-Another player I do not rate. Haven&#8217;t seen much of him maybe he is better then what I have seen.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sidibe-Looks like an excellent player. Nice touch good in the air and movement is good.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Williams-Lost some of his pace but still puts in in good effort.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Watkin-Another one who fails to perform.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Looking at all of this it shows our squad is quite decent. Maybe after some time with the new management team they will improve. I believe we are to good to be stuck in bottom half of the league.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>So are the players any good?
