Kick-off at 19:45 live on Premier Sports and S4C. How we go depends on the team Page puts out. If it's the second string and they perform as they did in the second half against Holland then we'll get a hammering. If it's our best team and they play like it means something then we might run them close. They have far more class and quality than we do so I'm not hopeful but we might surprise them if they decide to coast it.

Some stats from the game and our shots figure was really impressive given our dearth of possession.

POSSESSION: 36-64 SHOTS: 14-9 OT: 2-4 CORNERS: 6-4 FOULS: 9-12 GOALS: 1-1

Note the foul count. Even the best teams are prepared to resort to the dark arts when they are under pressure, a point that's been made by Page recently and something we've been saying on here about the Swans for ages.

Long way to go. Those September fixtures are going to be nervy praying we don't lose anyone to injury.

I should also mention a figure that I saw later in that we had 29 touches in their box compared to their 23 touches in ours. Seems we made far more of our possession than they did.
