    Bye bye Raylor for me too, the man has been gash the last few games and doesn't deserve a place. Santon did okay last time out, he should come in. Pretty much agree with that line up that someone else just posted.

    Can't wait until next week, love the feeling of going to 2 home games in 4 days! :)

    But also nervous that we'll **** it up...

    We haven't dropped points in any games this season where we are favourites to start with. We've beaten Fulham, Wigan, Blackburn, Mackems... so I hope we continue to do a job against the lesser teams!

    Swansea aren't a big brute-force side, so we shouldn't have the same problem of two large forwards attacking our smaller CBs like we did on Saturday. That's presuming it's the same line-up.

    Williamson and Coloccini will hopefully be fit, so that will be a fantastic boost. Maybe Tiote to return too?

    And I'd much prefer HBA and Ba up front.

    Looking forward more to the Swansea game than the WBA game.

    I'm looking forward to the West Brom game more, it'll be Christmas holidays, 7.45 kick off and I have a feeling the atmosphere will be great, I love midweek games like!

    I'd love this to be the line up

    Krul
    Simpson Williamson Colo Santon
    Raylor Tiote Cabaye Jonas
    HBA
    Ba​

    Great chance of winning. The more of that team that plays (Tiote, Willo and Colo in particular), the more likely we are to get a result.

    Along with Norwich, Swansea were one of the best 'footballing' teams in the Championship last season. They pass the ball - a lot! but frequently lack penetration, especially away from the Liberty.

    Hard to know how you will do against them but as their away record is not particularly good I would expect the Mags to win this game, even with a dodgy back 4 (if it's the same kind of line up at the back)

    This, i'd rather play Perch on the right than Obertan.

    I think he's just emphasising that he doesn't want Obertan in the starting line-up.

    I was away over the weekend so I missed the game, but from what I've read it sounds as though the makeshift back four was our let down (as anticipated). If Colo and Williamson are back for Swansea then I'll be very confident we can get three points.

    Why can't we have Vuckic in the centre? Is he out again?

    Krul
    Simmo Colo Wills Santon
    Ober Cabaye Vuckic Jonas
    Ben Arfa
    Ba

    I really don't want to see Smith in there. I know Vuckic isn't a DM but Cabaye could drop back if we only have one striker up top.

    If Tiote and Colo are back we'll do just fine, however if we play Perch and basically anyone other than Tiote in CM we'll struggle.

    Of course against Swansea we've got the added interest of the Gary Speed tribute.

    The tributes should be before the game only, once the mactch starts it's all about 3 points.

    Yeah I think it is now time to see santon in the team. Was there any reason for putting Raylor at right back last game as santon is a natural right back?? Maybe he is getting him ready for his left back role. Anyway, I think it is time to see him start games now.

    I don't think any of us expected them to be during the game.

    The 11th minute clap did'nt do us any favours against Chelsea but then again Speedo advised Krul on which way to go.
