ONE TO WATCH - Annie Colston
Colston currently has 19 goals through the first 15 games of the season, and that's just in the league. This backs up her record of 21 goals in 26 games last season.
The striker managed 43 goals in 28 games in the 2023/24 season. As the captain, she plays a vital role in the Swindon side's attacking prowess and she's one of the most prolific strikers in the National League.
Having started out at Swindon's Academy, she is a true one club player, a rare feat in today's game.
