You are in for a battle tomorrow make no mistake about it, and while our results have not reflected our performances of late, that is about to change come Saturday. There have been improvement in our performances every game, but not reflected in the score line and I see that changing with Bony now looking sharper, and Michu having had a few run outs to get match fit. We know you can frustrate us, but we are starting to shore up against such tactics, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the home support will be bouncing behind our team, it's really going to be a tough one for you guys and I'm going for a 3-1 win to the Mighty Swans, though I know it could well turn out to be a draw........................ There is some negativity from a number of Jacks on our board, which is understandable given the way we recently threw the game against WBA second half, but that will not happen again this season, I'm very optimistic that we will turn you boys over, even considering the history between the two teams and you having the upper hand of late, anyway save journey those that are travelling!................
Every game now is a cup final and we all know that form goes out of the window in cup games, It will all come down to who wants the points the most and who has done their homework. I can see a close match as usual and if we can perform like we did against Liverpool,Arsenal,Everton and napoli then we should get the 3 points we need...
Sorry, but I hate comments like this, we do not "all" know that "form goes out the window" because frankly its not true. Besides its irrelevent because relegation games are nothing like cup finals.
I have a polite personality generally, not the warmest admittedly, but polite. Here however, I can say when I think someone is talking nonsense, and I hate cliches.
I'm surprised how rambunctious our visiting Swans are tbh. Recent history and respective form suggests they're in for a tough one. Though our away form is shocking, it always has been except at the Liberty. Tje manner of the Sunderland win also looked like something we could carry into awy confidnce, unlike previous matches. Swansea will let us play a little too - their style definitely suits ours in terms of what we like to play against. When was the last time we conceded more than two goals to a bottom half team? I suppose Villa but that was a one off against our nemesis... With our respective forms I think the most likely result is a draw or a Swans win. I can't see us being played off the park though so I reckon we'll always have a shot. Longer recovery for us too, with their mid-week game which is important at this time of year, so we should finish stronger.
You could easily condense that into, "we are **** away from home apart from Swansea where we always seem to hump the". Rob
I personally think we'll win. Swansea are on a downward spiral and have regressed (conceptually) since Rogers left. They will end up like most near the bottom, boring to watch.
. You could say the same since Houghton's taken over I suppose but don't let that cloud your judgement
I think we may well win this one, we play well against the swans even with Hughton in charge and hopefully our confidence will be up after Sunderland. I even fancy RVW to get on the score sheet.
My worry is after a bright start at Villa we all remember how that went. A positive performance against Stoke followed by a shambles at st.marys. So last weeks excellent performance v Sunderland should mean a ......... There's a pattern unfortunately which hasn't been broken all season. It seems a win almost guarrentes a ****e performance up next!
That's my worry, after a positive performance and I think we will progress, it's normally followed up with a shocker. We do tend to do quite well at Swansea though, I just hope we can get something. I'd happily take a point now and a win next week.
Thanks much appreciated . I just used my last one . anyone would think thats you're looking for a top 4 spot with a comment like that
