I went to the 1-1 at the Liberty, as I was 'working' in Swansea. It was a decent game, thought the Liberty was a decent ground. I liked walking back to the hotel amongst the Swansea fans who were all very complimentary about how we had played that night. I'd be more than happy for a similar outcome tonight.
Looks official - Davies for Brady the only change. I'm in a radio studio currently and it just came up on the newsroom software. So I'm taking it as fact... McGregor Elmohamady Figueroa Davies Bruce Chester Livermore Huddlestone Graham Sagbo
So: McGregor Chester Davies Bruce Elmo Livermore Meyler Thudd Figueroa Sagbo Graham Not too impressed myself, glad Brady's been dropped though, he's looked **** since his return, can't be ready.
Bench: Steve Harper Liam Rosenior Robert Koren Robbie Brady Paul McShane George Boyd Abdoulaye Faye Michu starts for Swansea
Swans team: Tremmel, Tiendalli, Chico, Williams (c), Davies, Canas, de Guzman, Shelvey, Dyer, Hernandez, Michu.
Since he's moved Figueroa to LWB, who is a more naturally defensive player than Brady, he probably thinks that bringing Rosie for Elmo would make us too defensive. Just a thought anyway.
I think a cheeky couple of quid on all those might be on the agenda. It just seems like destiny that he scores.
Swansea have got a strong team - Hernandez Michu Dyer and De Guzman are strong going forwards - I don't think Sagbo Graham worked last time but hopefully SB proves me wrong....
