Swansea City (A) - F*ck it, let's make it five!

[Ossydave]

Quite surprised, but happy at the team news, especially after we took an extended squad down. In fairness I wouldn't have been completely against a few changes tonight.

If they're staying down there till the weekend a bit of light training tomorrow and match prep on Friday shouldn't be too strenuous! 

[Rogerb]

Surprising stat on BBC footballs review of this match. In the first 15 minutes of matches we have a league high of 6 goals and only conceded 1 bettered only by Leeds 0.  It's the other 75 minutes we need to work on

[Amo]

Good on ya, ToMo. The only game that matters is the one in front of us. I don’t think it’s ever paid off when Rovers have tried to be clever and rest players. 

[Mercer]

Gone for Rovers' win tonight (12/5) by 3 goals to 1 (30/1).

We are on a roll, confidence and momentum are everything in this league.

Is this the start of something big or a false dawn - down to Venky's and Mowbray (who I think bottled it last season when we were in a similar position / run of form).

Looking like the penny may have finally well and truly dropped.  It's only taken how many years.  Hope he has his scarf tonight.

Well I was completely wrong about expecting changes ? This is difficult to get used to. Four games in a row unchanged? Might that be a first for Mogga?

It is indeed. We have played the same line up on three occasions before but this is the first time ever we have kept it the same for four games. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Last time people were excited for a game & confident in a win we got battered by Preston. Will take a draw 100% - think we will loose though.

[Wegerleswiggle]

Watching this on Swansea City TV. They keep talking about how this is a game that they should win. 

Currently showing last season's 3-1 defeat. 

COYB!!!!!

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Pleased to see the same line up.

I’d take a point. Tricky midweek away fixture. Avoid defeat to keep the momentum going.

Watching the lads walk towards a fixed camera along the touchline gave a great sense of respective heights. Walton, Tosin, Gallagher and Brereton heads were missing from view! Don't realise how little Dack is either until seeing a camera angle like that.

TBH, I don't know what Swansea fans want or expect after their financial cutbacks there. 

Their model is bringing through youth players and finding gems. 

Yes they have 2 strikers on huge wages and yes they paid huge fees for either but nowhere worth that now. 

Swansea made huge cutbacks there in the summer as I told you before

They released a couple of high earning non contributing players which makes no difference to the difficulty of the job. They lost 2 key players but luckily for Cooper he had 2 highly paid replacements already there with proven calibre. To suggest that their fans should be "overjoyed" by the appointment of Cooper (who from the outside seems to be doing ok, nothing spectacular, nothing overly worrying) seems a little patronising and over the top IMO.

Happy about the team selection tonight anyway.

Aye.. we don't net many headers with our forward options..!

They sold 3 players for combined 35 mil plus wages. 

Plus released Fer, Olsson, Bony, plus loan of Montero. 

Saving of over 250k in wages. 

Swansea are rebuilding their club with young players, cheap and loan players. 

[Wegerleswiggle]

Final prediction is a 2-1 win

Dack and Gallagher scoring.

[Stuart]

Seems to be a lot of confidence around this one.

It’ll be a tough game tonight.

Most of them players were not contributing so arent missed.
