We haven’t beaten Swansea in the league for something like 25 years.
The failure to stop teams scoring against us even when we are playing well (Oxford in the league and last night for example) is really beginning to worry me. This game already has a must win feel about it; which ordinarily would be a ridiculous thing to say so early in the season.

I'm not beaming with confidence at the moment but I will look on the positive side of things. If we can take our chances when we're on top, we can win but we need to find that killer instinct, clinical.
Looking at the subs bench from last night, we had EMC, Saka, Sheaf, Simms & Torp.... on the bench!
I think after playing 90' BTA and Allen will be replaced, Torp and (I would go for) Bassett on the right. Simms & Wright come back in and maybe Dasilva.
Sheaf and & Saka to come on later to build up their minutes.

Swansea win, Robins cites fatigue, all corners of the Sky Blue Internet melt down.

Without trying to sound like too much of a negative Nancy, and for how much I enjoyed last night’s performance, it really does mean very little if we don’t turn up on Saturday. Cup was a nice distraction but league is what is important this season. Can’t be losing, or even really drawing, with average midtable sides at home if we have any aspirations of getting out of the league. Let’s see the level of performance from last night again please and show that we’re not just a team that turns up for the glamour ties.

Got a good feeling about this. Hope the players are as positive about the last two performances as I am despite the results. Feel like we’re close to cracking it.

Last two performances have been excellent.
With our injuries starting to clear up, the squad is looking decent, with a very strong bench.
I'd pick the same team as Watford (a) except for Thomas-Asante in for Mason-Clark and Haji Wright for Lati. MVE moves back to RB.
Kitching and Dasilva were reallly good against Watford so they keep their places (if the latter is fit).
Bassette was great last night, but he's a CF for me, and Simms has earnt his start for his goal and performance at Watford.
Wright and Thomas-Asante as the wide forwards. Mason-Clark you can tell is going to be a great player but he's hit and miss at the moment. Thomas-Asante keeps his place for me.
Sheaf not ready to start. Robins pulling off Eccles & Rudoni and resting Torp last night suggests he knows that too.
Bench: Sakamoto, Sheaf, Bassette, Lati, Mason Clark, Allen, Bidwell, Binks, Wilson. Tavares

3-1 win.....we've been threatening to (and should have) beat these in the last 2 seasons
28.5k attendance based on feel good factor of our performance last night with a decent walk up

Would be happy with this team as well, although think BTA and Bidwell could be pushing for starts

I'm predicting 2 pints, several double JDs and coke, and a nice warm glow for 90 minutes. Come on City1

Got an in at the MET office as well now?
Why ? It doesn’t play to our squad strengths ….

Because more than anywhere relationships and stability matter at the back IMO. I can see the case for rotation during a game with the full backs but we don’t really have much strength in depth there.

How do folks, thanks for the approval. Thought you might like to have a look round our site regards this game.
We've done a piece on Ronnie Rees. (Poetry)
Thats here
Ronnie ReesAnd have a match day thread. It’s madness to think it’s been seventeen games since you’ve beaten us, 1983 was the last time. Something will give you see. Match day thread below.

Cheers everyone, gutted for you last night but have to hope it tired you out a bit. Happy to field some questions if you have any ?

He means back four and GK rather than three CBs and wingbacks. I think. Maybe. Yeah?
