Blackburn v Swansea Saturday 19 October 15:00)
Back to the bread and butter of club football after our costly duty of releasing our players for International matches.
Costly in that our key player Eom is out for 6 weeks due to a knee injury playing for South Korea.
It’s a tough run of matches before the next International break, first up Blackburn away.
A much changed side this season with several departures including top player Sam Szmodics.
A winning first-half Cullen goal the difference in the corresponding fixture last season, a similar result again would be fantastic. They lost at Plymouth 2-1 last time out, ironically a goal each for ex-Swans Whittaker and Obafemi, with the ‘last gasp’ Whittaker goal coming on 97’.
With the Swans threadbare squad and Eom’s absence perhaps Bianchini can come to the fore or maybe Abdulai.
Our defence has been good so far but it’s at the other end where we are lacking. Only 8 goals scored in 9 matches, hopefully LW has been giving the squad plenty of shooting practice at Fairwood during the break, although our recognised strikers Cullen and Vipotnik have been on International duty.
