WBA

[ivoralljack]

Live on Sky tomorrow ko at 12 noon. If we play the way we did against Fulham, despite our loss to them, we might get something at the Football League's highest ground. But it's a tall order to be sure. WBA play good football but they're also a more physical team than Fulham and we are lightweight in comparison - as we are against most teams actually. To me, West Brom have that nice balance of physicality, pace and football, which is, imo, the ideal setup to get out of this league. And they are well on their way to doing that.

I do think that we have the ability to upset the bookies odds, who generally have WBA odds on to win and us as a distant 5-1ish shot, but every single one of our players will have to be at it from first whistle to last. Even so I expect our unbeaten away run to come to an end and I would be delighted to come away with a draw. COYS!!

 

[CroJack]

Not optimistic about this one. We've had our opportunities to be in the top six and we fluffed them. A boring mid-table place is what we have to accept now.

 

[ivoralljack]

You're probably right and it might get a lot worse as we lose players in the January window. Once being highly praised as a model for other clubs to follow we are now a shining example of how to royally fuck things up.

Two weeks ago I had a conversation with Jeff Mostyn, Bournemouth Chairman. He was glowing about HJ and how HJ had helped him during Bournemouth's rise to the Prem. He described the situation in Swansea with HJ as toxic .... no shit it's toxic.

 

[ivoralljack]

Slightly puzzled. First he was glowing about HJ then he described the situation as 'toxic'. Does he mean HJ became toxic? Is it possible to enlarge on this?

 

[Borini]

Well we need a point tomorrow.



Otherwise the scum will be above us

he was referring to the situation HJ found himself in as toxic. Didn’t get a chance to dive deeper

As the biggest shareholder The Godfather Morgan and his clique had been behind all major decisions within the club before the takeover. And Jenkins had to listen. I now believe Jenkins was against the sacking of Laudrup in 2014, but being against doesn't excuse you if you are the executor of being for. The same with Monk, the takeover, Bob Bradley and many other cases when Jenkins should have either stepped up or stepped down.

 

[Borini]

Swansea City: Freddie Woodman; Connor Roberts, Ben Wilmot, Mike van der Hoorn, Kyle Naughton; Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain); Andre Ayew, George Byers, Kristoffer Peterson; Sam Surridge.

Substitutes: Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Jake Bidwell, Ben Cabango, Tom Carroll, Barrie McKay, Nathan Dyer, Aldo Kalulu.

Here’s a shake up, no Borja, Routs.
Carroll and McKay stick on the bench. Bidwell to the bench.
kalulu makes the bench

 

[Yankee_Jack]

This is a must win game. First, to break Shit Streak #2. second, to get us above the scum. Third, to get us back into the promotion places and keep us in touch. Fourth, to save Cooper’s sorry ass .... let me think, the last one I could tolerate losing if it resulted in action.

Question: will Ayew be #9 or try to impersonate a winger.

 

[The Blobster]

Routs is injured.
I watched Kalulu playing for the under 23s , lots of pace but wandered around like a drunk Ayew , I was not impressed !
I think Borjas days are numbered and we will offload him after Xmas.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

The match is on espn+ in the US.

 

[CroJack]

no Borja, Routs.

No Celina.

I can’t wait

 

[ivoralljack]

Why no Celina? Is he injured or off in January? He's not been playing well but he's not even on the bench.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

No Celina.

Wow, I missed that. Just goes to show the impact he’s made.

There is another game on Wednesday. Cooper is probably resting him.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We are in yellow.

Our third strip? With the old Town badge

Commentators are in great form .... just described our line-up as unchanged. It’s going to be a classic of banal and ignorant commentating
