On-loan Chelsea youngsters praised after Swindon debut

Swindon boss Luke Williams saw plenty of potential in Charlie Colkett, Fankaty Dabo (pictured) and Islam Feruz during their debuts for the League One side.

The on-loan Chelsea youngsters featured in a 2-1 victory at Bolton, where Colkett set up a goal.

Williams told Swindon’s website: “It was a huge win and I don’t think it is a coincidence that it has coincided with new players coming to the club.

“We don’t know too much about Charlie at the moment but he showed some things with a left foot that I’ve not seen in quite a while at League One level.

“Fankaty travelled up the pitch 50 or 60 yards with the ball in the 95th minute and that level of athleticism is quite unusual.

“He’s so quick and he can get forward and not leave himself exposed and he can make a recovery run – it was almost like he was doing two jobs.

“I don’t think he was overly fazed by playing in a beautiful stadium and against a team who were in really good form.

“He brought us real athleticism and he brought us some real calmness and quality on that side of the pitch.”

William added: “I think Islam will benefit a lot from some fitness and some exposure to League One football.

“But he certainly gave everything he possibly could and there were moments where he looked a real threat.

“We’re looking forward to seeing more of that.”
