Swansea v Brentford

[jackaway]

It’s Brentford and their outspoken manager Thomas Frank up next at the Liberty on Wed night and you’ll have to pay £10 if you want to see it on Swans TV.
The reverse fixture was a 1-1 draw, with Ayew equalising after they’d gone ahead.
Brentford lost their cup tie on Sunday 1-3 at home to Leicester, leading scorer Ivan Toney sat out a one match suspension, so will be able to play against us.
We are fresh from the 5-1 drubbing of Forest and confidence will be high.
Should be a tight game, hopefully Swans can edge it.

A hard fought draw. We sat too deep for my liking, inviting Brentford on. I think Cooper’s tactics were win if you can but make sure not to lose.
It all went to plan until Naughton was sent off in the 68’ for two yellow cards. Six minutes later on 74’ sub Fosu-Henry scored and we thought it was all over.
But, three minutes later on 77’ we had a free kick, Hourihane took it and hit it straight over the goalkeeper and into the net, great goal and that’s what he is renowned for of course.
The ten men then had to endure 18 minutes of constant pressure, including injury time, but they hung on for a hard earned and crucial point moving us back up to second place on goal difference.
