My only worry is where the goals are going to come from? We didnt look like scoring against Sunderland, and once Siriki came off against Derby we looked void of options as well. We dont have a striker that is going to pull out a moment of magic out of no where, we dont have wingers with enough pace or confidence to take on and beat a man, since Brannagan got hurt, our midfield doesnt look to have many goals in it (maybe Sibley could provide a threat).

That being said, 1-0 Oxford: Moore header on minute 68

This ref was in charge off 14 EPL games last season…..

Great goal from Harris at Blackburn.

Tyler has gone off the boil a bit lately but that boy can hit a banger when you least expect it…

 

[Sarge]

Feeling confident , 3-1 win Harris, Scarlett & Moore

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Another tough one

However I think we can win this one….. just
For me Mc Eachran has to start and our passing has to improve
Rodrigues and El Miz are the two players who have not performed so well in the last two games
Worried about where our pace will come from
A draw isn’t the end of the world but we would need to win on Tuesday if that happened
Going for 1-0 Goodwin from the bench

 

[Symp59]

Massive game coming up ,a must win 2-1 scarlett and Tyler let's have the best performance since the 2nd half at Luton. Sibley in For Rodriguez i love him but time for a rest and put someone in with the fight. Miz also needs a better performance lose the midfield again and we will lose . But hopefully not COYYS

Felt he looked a bit more lively again at Sunderland, but was up against the wall of Sunderland.

If he is more lively again today, hoping he will create more of an impact.

Swansea are struggling to score and we have a solid defence, so in all likelihood a 0-0 draw or a sneaky 1-0 home win (Dane Scarlett?)

 

[Grumpy Git]

Goodwin is available. I hope he gets some minutes.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Could really do with a win, feels like a big one. Don't care how, just win today lads!

Looking forward to welcoming Vigoroux to the East Stand end!

 

[Berliner]

Need a win, collecting points from draws will not see us safe.
Not so long ago this was a BBC match with the promise of a cup giant-killing. Now it's a league game where odds are almost even. Amazing progress made.
COYY

Swansea have 3 points from their last 18. We have 5.

Swansea’s last 3 away games have been LLD. Our last 3 home games have been DDD.

A betting man might suggest a draw, but we really should be looking for a win. A loss for us would really be very poor, and slightly alarming…

Feeling confident today
Cumming
Kioso Moore Nelson brown Leigh
McEachran
Goodrham Rodrigues
Harris Scarlett

If I was des that would be my team for today and I would instruct my players to attack because Swansea have forgotten how to score and if we score first our fans will be bouncing whilst theirs will getting concerned and on their players back knowing another defeat is likely

5-3-2 3-5-2

4-0

These early starts on a Saturday are not good for the innards! Brunch at F&B's will, hopefully, put that right. Planning a vegetable curry for this evening - nothing like living dangerously. Slice of cherry lardy cake post match.
Return to quick clean and accurate passing today, goals from slick moves with Goodwin popping up and finishing one of them. 2-0 to the boys in yellow! COYY's!!

That's important for me (not the Ruby and cake) but better passing and a better all round performance. Do that and a win is very possible.
