    Swansea inbound this Saturday for a mid-table battle between two sides struggling to find some grip on this Championship ladder. Swansea sit in 15th, just two points behind Norwich having endured a similar run of late, struggling to get anything out of tough away games.

    Swansea don’t have quite the same injury list as Norwich, but they’ll be without CB Harry Darling due to a red card in their previous game, (losing to the Blades).

    Two teams keen to turn around recent losses and ensure the rot doesn’t set in. I suspect both will end the season not a million miles away from their current standings. Norwich, with their home form, bright showings from youth, and Sargent coming back should see them over the line... Right? :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Suffolk’s suspenjury list to follow…

    Very slick match thread Hairy. I'd forgotten about the 12.30 start. Here's WhoScored's match preview:

    Ohh I might be able to watch this as it is early kickoff, as long as I am not putting kids to bed

    Get rid of the kids. Match much more important. I am only joking of course, my two are in their 30's now so have been through all that in the past. Cherish them while you can. :cheesy:

    First league start for Mahovo!
    Fisher goes back to RB with Stacey dropping to the bench.
    Cordoba and Sorensen make the bench in place of Warner and Aboh

    Strange to drop Stacey as one of our highest assist providers, but a huge vote of confidence in Mahovo and now we have Fisher in his proper position.

    Not a good sign for Chrisene though - he’s been a disappointment

    Terrible start, our pratting around at the back is frightening.
    Gunn makes a brilliant save.

    Each team if losing the ball more than they are keeping it!

    We are getting better going forward but then poor cross after poor cross. The final ball has been terrible in these recent games.

    Fisher gave the ball away a couple of mins ago and Swansea had a shot charged down, he didn't have anyone really to pass to. He didn't want to hit the ball long as is the want of modern football so tried a suicidal pass and fortunately it was blocked,
