Here it is then, our third game in a week and it’s away to top of the table Bournemouth. Unbeaten in 15 games, Preston took that record on Wednesday night, beating them 1-2 for Bournemouth’s first defeat of the season.
Is that a good thing or not for the Swans this Saturday as they try to emulate Preston’s brave showing, we’ll soon find out. Bournemouth will be smarting from that defeat and will be determined to bounce back in style.
The Swans had a great result on Tuesday night, winning 1-2 at Coventry who were unbeaten at home and fourth in the table. They played the same side that beat Peterborough so convincingly last Saturday 3-0.
The last time we played three games in a week, the third one we lost to Birmingham through not rotating the squad and the players faded badly in the second half. This time I expect a few changes, hopefully he can get the balance right. We will have the advantage of a days extra recuperation, whilst Bournemouth have the advantage of a second consecutive home game, so no travelling.
