Saturday, 20th January 2024 Swansea City v Southampton (12:30) Referee:- OLIVER LANGFORD Assistants:- Hristo Karaivanov and Graham Kane Fourth Official :- Sam Allison Referee details available @ https://www.scfc2.co.uk/2024/01/16/langford-to-referee-swans-v-saints-game/
I've never been to Swansea, so no previous matches to blether on about but what I can say is we've only lost 2 of our last 15 matches against each other and winning 9. Head to head Games won: 37 Games drawn: 16 Games lost: 21
And Mark Hughes plus players walking into the ground because of crowd issues etc!! We definitely had the last laugh that night!!
Had a look at the highlights from the home game and I am hoping that they have the same RB/RWB playing Saturday. Edozie ripped him apart and softened him up for Fraser to come on and give him more of a beating and, of course, scored two. I have said before that I hope Edozie watches Fraser’s movement off the ball and how he will abandon the left wing to get into a central position and, as with the pass to Adarma for the 4th against Wednesday, go even further across to create an overload. I had also forgotten that the first two chances of the game fell to Swansea so hopefully we will push them back from the first minute, score early and break our habit of taking a millennium to score a second goal. A slight exaggeration but it feels like it sometimes.
Looking at a Swansea forum, they're really short at RB due to injuries so that's definitely an area to exploit.
Ah that's not too bad at all then. Looking at this and maybe Rotherham league game wise. Probs wouldn't risk him in latter as we'll need him for the away games at Bristol and WBA.
Head says Swansea 0 -3 Saints (Adams, Armstrong, Fraser) Heart says Swansea 0 - 1 Saints (Gabbiadini)
No Fraser in the training footage today. Might just be coincidental or crafty editing, but he is very much absent.
