A quote from your favourite site, Taff: "Poor management by TF and the coaches. It has been very apparent for the last few games that we are vulnerable to a high press. The p1ssing about at the back is worth it when teams stand off, but now they don't. The answer therefore is to change tactics and go long where necessary, but we don't. I believe it was Einstein that said that the sign of madness was to keep doing the same thing and expect different results." Mind you, I sometimes feel we are guilty of the same thing?
Swansea City are unchanged for this afternoon’s Championship clash with Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium. Head coach Steve Cooper keeps faith with the same XI that started the midweek win over Nottingham Forest, while the substitutes bench also comprises the same nine players as on Wednesday night. Freddie Woodman continues in goal, with Ryan Bennett, Kyle Naughton and Marc Guehi ahead of him following another clean sheet in midweek. Midweek matchwinners Connor Roberts and Jake Bidwell are the wing-backs, while skipper Matt Grimes lines up with Jay Fulton and Conor Hourihane in midfield. Andre Ayew and Jamal Lowe will lead the Swansea attack. Huddersfield Town: Ryan Schofield, Pipa, Alex Vallejo, Jonathan Hogg (captain), Juninho Bacuna, Lewis O'Brien, Duane Holmes, Richard Keogh, Fraizer Campbell, Naby Sarr, Aaron Rowe. Substitutes: Joel Pereira, Alex Pritchard, Richard Stearman, Demeaco Duhaney, Sorba Thomas, Romoney Crichlow, Jaden Brown, Kieran Phillips, Scott High. Swansea City: Freddie Woodman; Kyle Naughton, Ryan Bennett, Marc Guehi; Connor Roberts, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Conor Hourihane, Jake Bidwell; Andre Ayew, Jamal Lowe. Substitutes: Ben Hamer, Ryan Manning, Joel Latibeaudiere, Ben Cabango, Korey Smith, Yan Dhanda, Paul Arriola, Jordan Morris, Morgan Whittaker. Referee: John Brooks
They didn't invest during the transfer window and now they have little cover when it comes to squad rotation and injuries. Apparently.

Same team and consistency go together ...nice to see the Bees imploding but it will be better for us with a win today...please
Hope we see a far more positive Swans today. Too flat on Wednesday, we have the chance to nail home a solid advantage over the likes of Brentford now. Can’t let this opportunity go amiss..
