Swansea City v Middlesbrough Competition - Sky Bet Championship Venue - Liberty Stadium Kick off - 3pm Date - 14 December 2019 Following their hard fought draw at home to Blackburn, next up for Steve Cooper’s Swansea squad is a home match against Middlesbrough. On Wednesday evening, Swansea’s home frustrations continued as they drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers in a game which saw both sides reduced to 10 men. Rovers extended their unbeaten run to five matches after Danny Graham's goal was cancelled out by Andre Ayew. Veteran former Swansea striker Graham put the visitors in front with a close-range finish after only four minutes. But Steve Cooper's team equalised just six minutes later as leading scorer Andre Ayew headed home. Swansea were the better side for long periods after that, although their momentum was checked when Tom Carroll saw red 12 minutes into the second half. The contest changed again when Bradley Dack followed Carroll down the tunnel, but Swansea's failure to find a winner means they are without a victory in six matches. The Swans remain in eleventh position in the Championship. The previous evening, Middlesbrough frustrated promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest by grabbing a late point at the City Ground. Forest went ahead just after the hour mark when midfielder Ryan Yates emphatically headed in Matty Cash's cross from six yards out. Paddy McNair levelled for the visitors from the penalty spot with nine minutes remaining after Jack Robinson tripped substitute Marvin Johnson. Improving Boro, who have suffered just one defeat in six, are now four points above the relegation zone, while Forest remain fifth, with a two-point advantage over seventh-placed Sheffield Wednesday. The Swans have played Boro on 46 occasions, winning 16, losing 19 and drawing 11. In the corresponding fixture last season, the Swans ran out 3-1 winners: Turning to Saturday, with the Swans winless in 6 matches, and Boro on a bit of a roll, I’m going for another 1-1
I can't see us keeping a clean sheet - our defence seem intent on gifting goals. So...... Swans ? - 1 Boro
Goals conceded have come from mistakes in the midfield so I’m confident that if we play like we did last night we’ll win Maybe not comfortably but win all the same
Play last night, and we will find it difficult to score, god help us in January if Ayew is transfered. We are desperate for a creator in mid field. .... Hernandez would have been brilliant here now. Can only dream.
He started off with what was left of Potters team and way of playing. Now he’s had time to stamp his way of playing on the team and it shows. He’s a coach but no manager and we’re in big trouble
Give him the window - Ayew will be off perhaps mvdh too maybe Connor and jay. See if we get someone a bit stronger in the middle? A leader that can bring the group together. Demote mg. anyway enough sense. Fvck off you fvckin bellend
I am sorry to say this, but I have to agree with you, I just hope he pulls through for the players and the fans though..............
Nothing is written in stone at the minute, but he looks like a manager on the way out.................
