Match Day Thread WBA v Swans

[Bob the slob]

I don't think anyone thinks that doesn't happen. The only slight concerning thing for me is our negative goal difference, we have a lot more points this year yet for the first time we are in negative goal difference, I don't know where we are in relation to other years in terms of goals conceded but I fear it is a few more than in years gone by. Now I may well be wrong as I haven't checked the figures.

Updated my notes and after 24 games (23 above)

2015 - F 28 ... A 31 - 3 ... 9th ... 34 points
2014 - F 29 ... A 35 - 6 ...12th .. 24 points
2013 - F 34 ...A 27 +7 ..... 8th .. 34 points
2012 - F 26 ...A 29 - 3 ....10th .. 30 points

So the only time, in the PL, we've had a positive goal difference after 24 games was season 2012/13 we were also on 34 points and in 8th position.

Surely not. Monk will take him to Barcelona,or Real. He's still going there,isn't he? End of the season?

Hope not, he's doing a very good job here and I want him to stay

Back on topic, I'm going for a 2-0 win for the Swans with Gomis finally scoring.

I was going to say score both goals to drive you insane

 

[trundles left foot]

Ha ha will run down the street with a scum shirt on if he actually scores 3 more goals in the PL.

Well,the Penclawdd Oracle was telling us,IN NO UNCERTAIN FASHION,that Monk was so fantastic that Real and Barca had already started their plans to get his services for next season.

Well if Laudrup becomes Director of Football for Barcelona, that would seem to rule out any chance of Monk moving to Catalonia ....

"Monk moving to Catalonia".

Well,he won't have far to go,he's already in Catatonia.

Having browsed the media it seems we will be playing like a cross between Stoke and England's rugby team.
Wish I'd bought a ticket now

With United on Saturday, are we likely to rest any players tonight or go for it with the best XI we have.

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Utd match is a week on Saturday

So we are!

What are we doing this weekend .... paddling on the beach

 

[swanseaandproud]

No game is easy and we are underdogs for this match. Ill be happy with a draw even though we have a good record at their place....

Photographic evidence of your penance will be required.

Swans to win 2 - 1. Gomis gets the first with Oliveira bagging the winner with an 85th minute header from a Routledge cross.

Dyer hangs in there for yet another start. No Barrow ... was he replaced because of injury on Sat?

Might well be. Either way, good to see Montero back.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Yes it is. Montero crossing from the left, Naughton from the right ... Gomis should have a party.

 

[NorfolkSwan]

They seem to have selected Chris Brunt at left back...if Dyer can't have a good game against a player that, to my knowledge, has never been a defender I'll be disappointed. Wouldn't mind seeing Dyer & Montero swap throughout the game to really keep them guessing.
