Opening game and I'm going for a one goal win (1-0/2-1) against newly promoted Millers who already are favourites for relegation. There are several strong sides in contention this year, so we don't want to fall behind playing catch-up and MUST win the games we are expected to. This is one of them.
I know that Neil Warnock is not everyones' cup of tea but his assessment of our chances this season would seem to gel with ours. He says:
I can't see the Swans pushing because Championship teams WORK OUT HOW TO PLAY AGAINST THEM. They have an attractive style and don't change it - but THERE ARE TIMES YOU NEED A PLAN B.
And that neatly sums us up does it not? A radical Plan B for us would have been to sign Andy Carroll. His height and strength, both in attack and defence, would be a huge change to what we usually offer but Martin is far to set in his ideas to consider something like that. Limited thinking.
PS: Swans game against Hull in September is still the same day but now a 12:30 pm start as the game will be live on Sky.
