    Swansea.

    Getting back to football. We’ve got a decent record against Swansea but it counts for nothing at 3.00 tomorrow.
    Any side with McBurnie and Bony in poses a threat and there have to be concerns against a team who have largely underachieved so far this season. We really need three points to stay up with the leaders and they need them just as much to stay in touch. Difficult afternoon in prospect imo, though I doubt it’ll be as physical as at Stoke.
    I’ll go for a narrow 2-1 victory.

    We really need to take the 3 points from this one, it would be nice to keep a clean sheet as well but can't see that happening! Our defence still concerns me.

    Well we did the first bit...and came close to the second. Good win which keeps us nicely positioned at this stage of the season. Do seem to lack the killer instinct though and I can’t help feeling the January window is going to define our season. Wanted...fit ‘old head’...an on pitch ‘director’ and ‘enforcer’. A Stimac or an Osman please...any suggestions?

    How about Frank getting in Gary Cahill on loan, can't seem to get a game for Chelsea?

    If Villa get him and Bannon they’re as good as up imo. Very, very impressive at Boro’ yesterday. With the much needed ‘killer instinct’ we might have done the same at the Riverside a while ago but instead we fell away again. Villa look streets ahead in terms of strength and skill. Made Boro’ look like a bunch of clogging ‘Potters’...funny that!

    RA. Agree with all you say But will we still be in the mix come Jan. I'm not to sure we will injuries really starting to bite now As for yesterday it was like being at a practice match Don't know how Swansea had only conceded 19 goals before yesterday they were shocking at the back.We played ok considering the war they went to at Stoke and without Marriott We really need full backs in the window they are both passable going forward but very shaky defending You midfield general would be nice
