Swans v Saints (FA Cup Third Round)

[jackaway]

Finally, after four weeks without playing, it looks as if Swans v Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday is going ahead.
Fans are banned so it’s behind closed doors, home advantage lost, unfair but what can we do. BBC Wales are showing the match live, it’s on at 17:30.
Saints themselves haven’t played for 11 days, they also have some Covid problems but with a superior PL squad to call upon should have no trouble winning this tie against a decimated Swans team.
Southampton reached the semi-final stage of the FA Cup last season and will be looking to go one better this time around.

Jack Army, it’s Saturday and at last we play a competitive match, problem is we can’t be there!
No idea what the team will be, only that Martin said we will field a strong side -

We’ve got to snap out of this downward spiral, defeats have become a habit.
If we’re not careful we could get entangled in a relegation fight.
Luckily for us Derby and Reading have had points deducted.
Urgent work needed on the defence this week, bringing back Bidwell would help, our bad run started when they dropped him.
Our left hand side looks exposed without him.
