    Will need a massive turnaround from that Luton performance to get anything at Swansea.

    Swansea are a much different proposition than Luton. I can see a much closer game this time. I’ve gone for a Swansea win though due to us missing so many key players.

    I always regard Swansea as the more cultured footballing side of our Severnside competition, there is no legacy of over physicality, long ball, kick and rush, I have us down for a well fought draw if we are lucky.

    Taylor-Clarke starting, with Mehmeti on the bench. I reckon bell will be left , Sykes right, and Cornick through the middle.

    Yep, that's our little cousins for you... Will pass you to death but will barely lay a glove on you by way of shots.....

    As for physicality, you may want to check the fouls for/against between us during our games with you lot... You've out fouled us across the 2 games!! <doh>

    But don't let facts get in the way of your biased perceptions. <cheers>

    I agree, I wasn’t impressed at the prospect of him coming here tbh. However now he’s here we’ve got to give him time. Some game time this season and a full pre season then I’ll judge him, he’s got a way to go though

    I don’t disagree, he’s here now though so we’ve got to allow him a bit of time and a pre season to get up to proper match fitness.

    After riding our luck we have finally given away the goal that Swansea have deserved. Poor ball control and bad decisions are our undoing and we look second best all across the field against a supposedly struggling Swansea team. The injuries have taken a serious toll on our abilities and the evidence is very visible today as it has been over the last several games. It is showing how weak our bench is and I question NP with Weimann and Wells on the bench but in fairness it is the time of the season when we can play around with different players because of our safe position. I hope the 2nd half goes better for us and I expect changes after the break to boost our chances.

    We are playing with fire as Swansea are ripping through us like we aren't even there and they have missed at least 3 chances to put the game out of sight. We have no fire power up front and Harry Cornick is chasing white shadows which indicates how poor we are going forward with pathetic energy and lack of forethought. Unless we do better in the upcoming half we could get buried and the concerning statistic is our recent lack of any goals scored plus our consistent issue of giving up the crucial first goal.

    It’s the one area he needs to improve, when he does he’ll be even better.
