Swansea City v Cambridge United Competition - League Cup Stage - Round 2 Venue - Liberty Stadium Kick off - 19.45 Date - 28 August 2019 Following their comprehensive 3-0 win at The Liberty against Birmingham, next up for the Swans is a match against League Two Cambridge in the League Cup. Swansea’ flying start to life under Steve Cooper continued as they thumped Birmingham City 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea are second (on goal difference) in the Championship after making it 13 points from a possible 15 in 2019-20. Kyle Naughton, Bersant Celina and Borja found the target inside 12 second-half minutes of a dominant display. Birmingham had no answer to Cooper's men, who are enjoying the club's best start to a league campaign in 41 years. On Saturday, Oldham took advantage of poor Cambridge defending to secure their first League Two win of the season with a 2-1 victory at the Abbey Stadium. The Latics were under the cosh for long periods but a second-half header from David Wheater secured the points after Urko Vera's opener. Cambridge levelled in the first half through Marc Richards, but were left to rue a catalogue of missed chances. Oldham scored with their first attack of the match in the 28th minute when Chris Eagles crossed from the right and Vera was allowed a free header at goal. Though goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov saved his initial effort, the Spanish striker bundled in the rebound. The U's equalised through Richards seven minutes later, the veteran striker controlling a cross from Paul Lewis and swivelling to score. Leon Davies hit the crossbar and Liam O'Neil had a shot saved by Gary Woods as Cambridge pressed for a second. But that did not materialise and - after the break - former Middlesbrough and Bolton defender Wheater nodded in the winner from Mohamed Maouche's outswinging corner. Turning to Wednesday evening, given that Cooper will regard Saturday’s top of the table clash as far more important, it is likely that he will ring the changes. Nevertheless, I expect the Swans to win 3-1
Tickets and pop corn bought ,I'm looking forward to another evening of football entertainment and more surprises from the Manager . Dhanda was the surprise choice yesterday and one I thought worked out really well
Yep - Dhanda was the biggest positive surprise for me and my mates yesterday - and for the guys around us!
I expect him to ring the changes and have a strong bench. A chance for Garrick to shine. Got a feeling we will keep a clean sheet so it’s 2-0 for me
I hope he actually makes wholesale changes, love to win but just not that bothered, next league is mega for us (I know it is early in the season), but it could be a defining moment on how our season progresses. Still with 11 changes still should have enough to win.
I agree and no disrespect to Cambridge but I believe we have enough strength in depth to win this game . The players seem to have bought into Cooper's methodology so I expect more of the same regardless of the personnel used
Leeds losing 2 nil at home to Stoke at half time. This is what happens when you **** with the squad too much.
Great win for Crawley against Norwich tonight and Potter's Brighton sneaking a late win at Bristol Rovers. Leeds and Palace go out on penalties. Other games weren't that close
From the BBC : “The game was watched by 4,111 fans, the lowest crowd for a Cardiff fixture since they moved to Cardiff City Stadium a decade ago.” Bigger than Barca aye.
Nice to see Rushesa on the bench still only 17/18 but a good technicalcally gifted full back who likes to go forward please log in to view this image
