.

That run inspired them to a 5 game unbeaten start to this season......

Swans only won 2 games....are on 8 points after playing 11 games - lost 7 and drawn 2 and so far only managed to net 7 goals , only only 3 less goals than us though twelve places lower.
Am expecting us to be all over them - then same old......need for goals.

Other than a heavy defeat to Man Utd ( which I omitted from my preview) they had a pretty decent start to the season , including 2 cup wins.

The wheels have come off since . They have the knack of losing 1-0 ( 3 times) we have the knack of winning 1-0( 4 times)

Suggests a 1-0 win to us, if only football was that predictable. A banana skin to be avoided on Saturday.

Our lot might be down in the dumps and just plain knackered and jet lagged after the latest round of internationals?

could say they've been unlucky Donz.....with goals against being not that terrible.



funny that from us and below.....it's mostly the newly promoted that've fared better, with Brighton (11) Newcastle (10) and Huddersfield equalling them on 13 - only other is Southampton with 11 against.
So Swans defence and goal can't be that bad - they had the most of possession but failed to score and lost by the 1 goal to Brighton/Wham and Newcastle - with nil draws aginst Southampton and Spurs.
Can but hope their dearth of goals - continues on Saturday.

thanks for the article - btw.

Cheers.

Interesting to see we have the 4th best defence in the PL and 12th best attack.
They have three fewer goals for and 4 more goals away. The 7 goal difference makes an 11 point difference and a 12 place difference.
It shows the benefits of a solid defence with 5 goals conceded to City and Chelsea.
So we’ve conceded only 4 to the rest in 9 games.

Seems like another managers coat is on a shaky nail.

57% backed under pressure Swansea City coach Paul Clement to keep his job until this weekend's game against Burnley

Thanks for the interest in the article Norder.
The table makes good reading . There are quite a few teams who ship goals including Arsenal who we play very soon.

you okay Donz ? You haven't been posting much lately mate.

We've scored just 3 goals in 5 home games, they've conceded just 3 goals in 5 away games. Never mind where they are in the league, they're clearly hard to break down away from home, looks to me like a 0-0 bore draw is the likeliest outcome.
