    I wonder what Alan Little is doing these days. Surely a 5 minute cameo isnt out if the question

    Grimes long throws caused us all kinds of bother

    Connor Roberts isn’t it? Regardless, you’re right. It’s a big weapon for them.

    He is clearly a good player but everytime I've seen him play I'm like whats all the fuss about, he seems a tad over weight imo, COYR

    it’s actually both IIRC. Roberts on the right and Grimes from the left.

    A bit harsh on Sibbick that, but I agree that Solbauer's reading of the game is better. That sort of thing only really comes with experience. Once Sibbick is in his mid to late 20's he'll be an absolutely phenomenal player.

    They’ll play 5 at the back, play as direct as we do and hope for an (Ayew) penalty. We need the return of the Chelsea-level high press, I think. Otherwise it will be a war of attrition.

    Ahh okay, I haven’t watched any of Swansea apart from our 2 games against them. I’m sure our 3 rocks at the back can deal with whoever is launching it in.

    Or David Geddis.
    Roger Wylde on Dennis Mortimer was a good hit job but nothing will ever beat the late, great Steve Cooper’s acrobatic flying karate kick on Jim Gannon at Bramall Lane within seconds of the kick-off.

    I think the Styles left hand side is the side teams tend to target now he tends to get caught out in a dangerous position more or less every game of late and teams seem to get in quite easy on that side.

    I wonder if Swansea fans are worrying about Morris, Woodrow, Styles, Mowatt, Brittain & Dike?

    I doubt it. Living over here and for some reason Walesonline seems to keep serving me Swansea news on Facebook now and their general opinion is that they will beat us quite easily.

    Good. I hope the coaching staff & players have the same attitude.

    I would be.

    I'm not sure what is going to happen TBH, but we need to be on the front foot. I'd start with Sibbick & maybe bring on Solly later, if we have something to defend.
    You need a bit of luck in these games, but I see us having a decent chance.

    To be honest, I'd not be unhappy facing a team who you'd done the double over during the season.

    I hope they're writing us off and complacency sets in. Then we hit them with the WMD, plus Frieser, Chaplin and Victor :)

    We deserve to be in the Play Offs, John, and I believe we have just as many players who can hurt them as vice versa. I respect Swansea and their players, but I certainly don't fear them.

    The way our defence has performed this season.

    I'm not particularly worried about opposition players.

    Now that is a new one for even me.

    I'm more worried about our players managing to step-up for what are 3 massive games and not letting slip what they have done/achieved
