Ash sent off for Bristol City on 13 minutes! Seems a shame when stalwarts like Ash could be still at the club in some capacity. I know he went for the last-chance payout/Prem glory/whatever but things could have been different... no room for sentiment in sport, unless you have a decent owner with some connection to the club and the city.... hang on, didn't we supposedly used to have that
Trunds was in Moruzzi’s with his family having a late lunch on New Year’s Eve - looked fit enough to play tomorrow!
Swansea City boss Steve Cooper makes six changes for the first game of 2020 against Charlton Athletic. Connor Roberts, Mike van der Hoorn, George Byers, Yan Dhanda, Wayne Routledge and Borja Baston are all restored to the starting XI. Jake Bidwell, Ben Wilmot, Jay Fulton, Tom Carroll and Bersant Celina all miss out after starting against Barnsley, while Sam Surridge has been recalled from his loan spell by Bournemouth. That means Freddie Woodman starts in goal, with Roberts, van der Hoorn, Ben Cabango and Kyle Naughton making up the back four. Skipper Matt Grimes partners Byers in midfield, with Dhanda taking up the number 10 role as Andre Ayew and Routledge occupy the flanks. Borja Baston leads the line, while the visitors include former Swansea midfielder Darren Pratley in their starting XI. Swansea City: Freddie Woodman; Connor Roberts, Ben Cabango, Mike van der Hoorn, Kyle Naughton; George Byers, Matt Grimes (captain); Andre Ayew, Yan Dhanda, Wayne Routledge; Borja Baston. Substitutes: Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Ben Wilmot, Declan John, Jay Fulton, Bersant Celina, Aldo Kalulu, Barrie McKay. Charlton Athletic: Dillon Phillips, Jason Pearce (captain), Lyle Taylor, Ben Dempsey, Adam Matthews, Conor Gallagher, Ben Purrington, Albi Morgan, Tom Lockyer, Darren Pratley, Josh Davison. Substitutes: Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Deji Oshilaja, Joe Ledley, Chris Solly, Naby Sarr, Alfie Doughty, James Vennings.
To all that are going to the game on this wet night I hope you are rewarded with a positive performance and result. YJB's
