Birmingham and Huddersfield away left and then the World Cup break.
Swans need a re-set after a dip in the fine form that saw us shoot up the table. Unfortunately we are now going the other way, down to 9th and sinking. We are conceding soft goals and scoring goals has dried up, two points from nine last three matches against mediocre opposition tells the story.
Why are the team so inconsistent? Being one of the youngest squads in the Championship and still learning, we are told. Okay, but fans want to see wins and points on the board, not a stubborn manager still pushing his system of play when it doesn’t work, and when the opposition has sussed how to play against it.
Birmingham on Tuesday night will be a big test. They’ve just beaten Stoke away last game, a tough place to go, and they will have their tails up.
Swans will have Matt Grimes back although I’m not sure we missed him too much last Saturday.
The way things are we’ll do well to get anything from this match.
