Here comes our Xmas box , Preston @ the dot com .Friday 7.45 .

[The Blobster]

Preston would seem to be in disarray following last week's thrashing at Deepdale by Watford , they lost the home game 1-5 !
We however should be wary of a wounded animal and not take anything for granted .
That said if we can start strong and play with pace creating overloads out wide like we did against Boro I think we can get 3 points from this game .
Big Myk played 70 mins for the unders earlier this week and should feature from the bench .
Otherwise I expect to see much the same team as in recent weeks .

COYJB start Xmas with a bang for us .

We desperatelly need to win this game. Let's hope we do. Here is what worries me:



QPR have picked up almost twice as many points as Swansea in their last eight matches.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Summary: we suck, and it would have been even worse without the 4 away points we picked up ... and we've got opposition coming up that are killing it.

 

[ivoralljack]

A win is vital; not a good performance or a draw. THREE POINTS IS A MUST given our precarious position and anything less will see us firmly in the doo-dah. I think we are good enough to do it and I'm going for a 3-1 win as an early Christmas present.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Swansea City: Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Jay Fulton, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Matt Grimes (captain), Jamal Lowe, Jamie Paterson, Josh Tymon, Liam Walsh, Bashir Humphreys.

Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Joe Allen, Jerry Yates, Yannick Bolasie, Charlie Patino, Liam Cullen, Nathan Wood, Kyle Naughton, Ollie Cooper.

 

[CroJack]

A defensive 3-4-2-1 line-up. Paterson and Walsh behind Lowe. Tymon and Key wing-backs. Grimes and Fulton in the midfield. Darling on the right, Cabango in the middle and Humphreys on the left side of the back three.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Why such a negative posture at home.

Why such a negative posture at home.

Agree.

 

[KVetch]

Maybe he wants to prevent early goals

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Strong bench

 

[The Blobster]

Low attendance, people on Xmas night outs or a sign of apathy to our recent performances?

Surprised it’s not on Sky since it’s a Friday kickoff

 

[The Blobster]

Dai Cornell preferred in goal to Woodman by Preston ( 2 ex swans )

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Seems to be that Sheehan is trying to go with what he thinks is his best blend of players

 

[Yankee_Jack]

that would be my preference too

 

[Victoria Swan]

Not a lot of energy out there from us. A bit concerning given that there's a heavy holiday schedule ahead.

That's why there's not a lot of energy - must be saving their legs for that heavy holiday schedule. Mind you, we lack energy at the best of times.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Tedious to say the least. Most of the time is being spent in our half with PNE in possession

 

[The Blobster]

Boring from both teams so far .
We need to up the tempo
