    Love a bit of home supporter arrogance.

    I can think of 1 or 2 of our players who could exploit that tomorrow.

    As frustrating as he can be, for hanging onto the ball, Clarke is unstoppable unless he's fouled ...

    ... whoever's marking him will be fretting and thinking about the game already.

    If he's double marked, Roberts needs to take up Mowbray's challenge and crack a couple in ... he's capable.

    Canny place Swansea. Have some good memories of working there for a bit. Wales on the whole is my type of place.

    I do feely confident in our lads though. Our performance levels have been good last couple of games. I still think we ran Leicester ragged at times. Norwich werent really close to us. As always I think it is what we do that counts. Swansea will be confident too, so best team should win out. I just love our lads and fancy another 3-1. Can see Ekwah getting on the score sheet with that left peg. Clarke is in ridiculous form and will fancy himself because Swansea wont sit in, they will go to win the game and fancy themselves. That will suit Clarke big time. Hopefully another good hour from Rusyn too.

    Great match report RTB!! Really hope Mayenda can get some decent minutes. It seems this lad may have some X factor about him like Amad had. Might be the missing link that we have been looking for up front. Another 1 - 3 to us. Clarke, Roberts and yes Mayenda!!

    Not too sure mate, they've lost two of their last three and weren't great in the game they won by all accounts.

    They lost to Cardiff and Bristol so aren't doing well in big games.

    But they do attack and can score so we'll probably have to score a couple to win ...

    ... it's not often we don't score so I'm expecting a good open game.

    aye, everyone thought leicester were too good and while we somehow lost, they knew they had been in their best game of the season...if we had remembered that the goal was not suspended 15 feet above the ground we would have come away with at least a draw.

    good luck for the season anyway marra, after tomorrow ;)

    Can't wait for the team to be announced and then kick off.

    Working for a Welsh company I could do with the lads getting a thumping win today and still think we will have more than enough for them.
    Its still all about our tempo for me, when we play fast fluid football the threats from all over cause other teams problems. I wouldn't mind seeing a few longer balls for Rusyn or whoever plays striker to chase, get their centre backs turned and put pressure on them.

    Haway me bonny lads

    After reading that Mowbray apparently said that Rusyn will now get a run of games and that if Adil was fit, Jobe would've been rested for Leicester, I reckon that the 2 of them will start today. Not sure if Cirkin will get the nod over Huggins even though we're a more balanced team with him at left back. Going for a 2-1 today with the usual Clarke goal and Rusyn getting his first.
