Swans v Barnsley

In the absence of a match thread, a few lines will have to do!

I know that the PL is our priority, but there is nothing like keeping the winning habit going. I expect Barnsley to put up a good fight, but we should have enough strength in depth to overcome them which is why I hope we field as many "Non 1st Team" players as possible.

Lets hope for a win, with no injuries/bookings etc. Shrewsbury turned us over at this stage last season - lets hope we go a bit further this year.

Swans to win 3-1

 

Hope some of th reserves get a run out.

 

Good man PGF.

We should be too strong even with a few changes so I'm going 2-0.

 

I was at Shrewsbury last year and it was our worst performance with a team of fringe players making the home side look like world beaters. Can see ML going with a fairly youthful line up, maybe leaving Ash at the back who likes to play every game. Can't see many if any of our unwanted players taking part as to risk injury would scupper any possible moves, not sure if Ki has received his international clearance yet, he might have to wait til the weekend.

 

Plenty of tickets still on sale - £15 adults and £7 for juniors. Be there or be square.
Up the Jacks

 

Vorm .. Richards , Williams , Bartley , Davies .. Sinclair ( if he's still with us otherwise De Guzman in his place ) , Ki , Agustien , Routledge ... Lita & Moore

 

We should win this one. ML won't take it lightly in his first year in charge, 3-0 Swansea.

I'll be there.

 

Wish I could be there. Ah well I am returning to Wales next month for good, so I'm hoping that we get through this round and get a home tie next round so I'll be able to go to a match.

 

You coming home, mate? I did the same 15 odd years ago from Sydney and haven't regretted it even though the move was forced on us due to an accident suffered by my wife out there which left her unable to work for a long time.

As much as I loved our life in Oz, Swansea is a special place imo.

 

Well KJ, we are returning under tragic circumstances also. Our baby boy was due to be born 24th July but on the 18th he died. It's just too painful for us to stay here so we are packing up and coming back to Port Talbot to try to piece our life back together.
I will miss Australia as it has a lot of good things here - cost not being one of them though.

 

Stereo, my wife and I lost a baby boy in similar circumstances as well some years ago, so I know what you are going through. It's devastating. My deepest and sincerest condolences to you and your wife and I hope you can make a fresh start back here in Wales.

 

Stereo,really saddened to hear of your loss.
As you know,there's always a welcome in the hillsides,so take some solace from that.
Good luck to you both.

 

Will light a candle on Sunday Stereo , deeply saddened by your loss . ... Good luck to you & yours recovering

 

Stereo really sad to hear of your loss, my wife and I went through it as well. No words can console mate so will it there

 

That's awful, ST. Hope you and your wife can make a fresh start.

When we came back the rate was $2.5 to the £ but should be a lot better for you guys these days. Best wishes.

 

Im in perth stereotongue Im sorry to here your sad news ,I also am thinking of comeing home for good cant wait to see the swans in the prem, last time I was at a game we were in the championship.good luck

 

...Be prepared for "what on earth are you doing here?"

We get it all the time.

 

Stereo, I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully you and your wife can come home and start afresh.

Best wishes to you and your family at such a tragic time.

 

Awful thing to have to cope with,no parent should have to,my thoughts mate

 

Ki makes his debut tonight, well I think so he has a yellow bib on.
