    Swansea City v Brentford

    Competition - Sky Bet Championship
    Date - 2 April 2019
    Kick off - 19.45
    Venue - Liberty Stadium

    Following their unlucky 2-1 defeat away at Nottingham Forest, next up for Graham Potter’s Swansea squad is the re-arranged fixture against Brentford - the original game had to be re-arranged as they were drawn against each other in the FA Cup, which the Swans won 4-1 in a match that was very much ‘a game of two halves’.

    Against Forest, George Byers' shot, which deflected off Connor Roberts, gave the Swans the lead on 76 minutes.

    Darryl Murphy's header from a corner levelled matters four minutes later for Martin O'Neill's side.

    Forest desperately needed a winner and found it with three minutes left when Molla Wague headed home as a set-piece once again proved Swansea's undoing.

    The match saw Swansea's top scorer Oli McBurnie recovered from an illness that kept him out of three games - although having been able to play for Scotland last week - but winger Wayne Routledge was unavailable after his wife gave birth the previous day.

    As a result of this defeat, Swansea fell to 15th in the Championship Table, 2 places below next opponents Brentford.

    Whilst the Swans were losing at Forest, the Bees were drawing away at lowly Wigan.

    A quiet first half was lit up by Reece James' spectacular volley from around 30 yards which was tipped over by Brentford keeper Luke Daniels.

    Daniels saved one-on-one from Gavin Massey soon after the restart while the Wigan attacker also had a header palmed away after an hour.

    Wigan twice went close to grabbing a late winner but Anthony Pilkington's close-range finish was ruled offside before Chey Dunkley hit the angle of post and bar with a header.

    As stated earlier, the Swans played Brentford in the 5th Round of the FA Cup on 17 February and ran out 4-1 winners:



    Turning to Tuesday evening’s match, I’m going for a 1-1 draw, but hoping for a Swans win <cheers>

    As long as we have our players aiming with enough shots on target we should win.......The football getting into shooting range i'm not worried about, It is missed opportunities that does my nut in and the ability to hold on to a one goal lead.....I can only hope we will win...

    I've had it on good authority that the target tonight is Georgie Porgie's Playgroup in Neath , they feel they have a good chance of claiming it as their own , we'll see <whistle>

    Thoroughly enjoyed tonight, same as the Forest , WBA , Norwich games but with a much better outcome. Dyer had his best game tonight for an age. with a Routledge leading the line we looked full of promise and although the score line could have been improved on we limited Brentford chances to allowing them to score a goal quite correctly ruled off . Fulton stood out for me in the first half tackling cleanly like a demon breaking play up and moving the ball with confidence , in fact the whole side didn't disappoint tonight . Nordfelt's kicks always found a man and defensively solid. a good game for us not so for the 100 ? Brentford fans who made the journey down tonight

    Now we need to repeat that performance at home against Boro and Stoke and away to QPR. 12 points out of 12 is very much a feasible April target before Easter if we can create and put away the chances. In fact if you say before Easter Sunday as we have Rotherham on Good Friday then let’s be greedy and go for 16 out of 16.

    So first task make sure Tony Pullis goes home empty handed <cheers>
