Swansea v Rotherham
I think we’ll see how strong our squad is compared to other teams in the Championship with the introduction of five subs allowed in matches out of nine permitted subs on the bench, starting this weekend.
Rotherham at home tomorrow after our narrow defeat at Norwich last time out. Rotherham played at home and beat Preston last game, a very strong away team, and will be looking to build on that result.
For the Swans Cabango and Naughton are fit again, but Guehi and Ayew are doubtful after muscle strains during International call-up matches.
Forecast: It should be a home win, but nothing is predictable in this division and Rotherham will be a tough nut to crack. We usually lose the next match after the International break, hopefully we’ll buck the trend on Saturday.

Matt Grimes 28’ deflected shot for the goal HT 1-0
-
FT 1-0 almost threw it away in the last 5 mins

For me it's the 3 points that count and we move. Five shots on target should have produced more than one goal, but we've struggled to score lately.
