Stoke v Swansea Tuesday 12 December 19:45
That’ll be number ten Championship manager fired this season.
It’s of particular importance to us as we prepare to take on Stoke tomorrow night.
That’s our second consecutive game, and in the space of a few days, where we, as a managerless club, play a managerless club.
I wonder if that’s a record?
Stoke have been struggling this season, much like us, and with the departure of their manager we may see a player reaction from them, so not the best time to play them.

Saturday’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday was their fourth straight defeat, late goals conceded in each of those games.

Stoke’s home record -
P10 W4 D1 L5 F9 A12

Swans away record -
P10 W4 D1 L5 F16 A16

Swans concede too many, Stoke don’t score many.
Result on the night anybody’s guess.

FT:
Stoke 1 (Johnson 70’ pen) - Swansea 1 (Darling 89’)
I’ll bet Darling heaved a sigh of relief after conceding the penalty and heading the equaliser.
Stoke looked the better side for long periods but against the run of play we equalised with a great header from Darling at the far post
Stoke almost got the winner deep into added time but the ball was headed down from close range and bounced over the bar.

I don’t care how we got them but it’s 4 valuable points out of a possible 6 on the road.
