Swansea v Watford

[jackaway]

The Swans v The Hornets, Tuesday 5 Nov, 20:00
After the trauma for Swans fans of the 6 game winless streak, 5 without a goal, we then go and take Oxford’s unbeaten record with a 1-2 win. Lack of concentration and dubious subbing of players allowed Oxford to score a late goal, we seem to make a habit of this, making the score line tighter than what we deserved.
Anyway celebrate the win and hope we can continue this form into Tuesday’s match against Watford.
Watford are spending their second season in the Championship after relegation from the PL, so are still on parachute payments and able to pay higher wages. They are also supported by strong links to Serie A club Udinese of Italy, as both clubs are owned by the Pozzo family and exchanging players is the norm between them. In fact in their 2-6 win at Sheff Wed yesterday, one of their four on loan players from Udinese, Vakoun Bayo, scored four of their goals.
Last seasons fixture was a Watford 0-1 away win, sub Ken Sema scoring a late goal.
With Cooper joining Eom with a long term injury, our squad is pretty thin on the ground, and our senior players will have to step up to the plate. Govea was back on the bench yesterday after injury and Christie too, signed until the end of the season.
Good luck to the Swans.

At last we seem to be clicking as a team, all that was missing last night were the goals. Just the one then to get the win, but our dominance deserved far more. Two goals disallowed, hit the bar, penalty shouts unheeded, this didn’t deter us as we outmuscled, outfought and outplayed a Watford team that had just put six goals past Sheffield Wednesday a few days previous. Keep it up guys, what a turnaround after that unfair Millwall home defeat.

You’re up early Estoban!
Couldn’t agree more with your comments. Much better from Swansea last two games, the players are really getting stuck in and creating goal chances.
One more push this weekend at Burnley before the International break, we can do it.

Hello fellow Jacks. Good win last night with the usual flurry of opposition pressure at the end but no late equaliser. The team worked hard for this win and there were a few stand out performers like Key, Peart-Harris and Franco. Now let’s continue this surge in form into the Burnley match on Sunday as we will have to sit on that result for two weeks with the International break.
