Swansea v Sheff Wed Competition - Sky Bet Championship Venue - Swansea.com Stadium Date - 12 February 2025 Kick off - 7:45pm Following their much needed victory away at Bristol City on Sunday, next up for Luke Williams’ Swansea squad is a home match against Play Off aspirants Sheffield Wednesday. Last Sunday, the Swans ripped up the Championship form book as Josh Tymon's goal gave them a 1-0 win against play-off-chasing Bristol City at Ashton Gate. The hosts had won four home games on the spin and they dominated the first half against a Swans side who were without a victory since December, but visiting goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux denied the Robins with two excellent saves. The Swans were markedly improved after the interval (it was as if the first half had been used to get used to the ‘new’ look team/approach) and took the lead when Tymon was in the right place to fire home a rebound in front of the visiting Jack Army. Vigouroux continued to stand firm as Bristol City pushed for an equaliser and he denied Sam Bell by tipping his effort on to the post. The win lifts the Swans to 16th in the Championship, with Bristol City remaining ninth, three points off the play-off places. The previous day, in a grandstand finale at The Hawthorns, Jayson Molumby snatched a 96th-minute winner for West Bromwich Albion to deny Sheffield Wednesday a last-gasp point. Callum Paterson had fired a 93rd-minute leveller after Adam Armstrong looked to have netted a classy winner on his Albion debut 16 minutes from time. The win made it 11 unbeaten at home for Albion and took Tony Mowbray's side up to fifth in the Championship, with Wednesday 10th before Tuesday evening’s fixtures. The Swans have played the Owls on 38 occasions, winning 10, losing 13 and drawing 15. In the corresponding match last season the Swans ran out 3-0 winners with Jamal Lowe (now at Wednesday) scoring the first from the spot: Hopefully, the win against the Robins will prove to be a turning point for the Swans and I’m hoping that the Swans will pick up from where they left off in last Sunday’s second half, and will run out 2-1 winners. Hope I’m right
"....with Jamal Lowe (now at Wednesday) scoring...." Nice to see so much optimism but I'm going with Mono It would be (there's) lovely if we're both wrong
Interesting selection Famous last words but ….. the 3 centre backs look strong (Delcroix produced his best performance for us last Sunday). My main concern is Ronald as full back - in theory Naughton or Key should be there. But as Vetch would say, Williams sees them on the training ground and must think that this will work
I hope Ronald proves me wrong but we haven't seen him put a good performance in for some time now. I can see us getting a hard fought 2-1 win
I agree - when Ronald came here he looked live a real livewire - he’s been farely flaccid for a long while now.
