Coventry v Swansea

[Estoban]

Merry Christmas guys!
Today is the day we take on table toppers, unbeaten at home Coventry.
This afternoon can we get something there, we are about to find out.
Whichever way the match goes as long as we give 100% I will be happy.
Come on boys give us something to cheer about.

Hope all you girls and boys enjoyed your Christmas dinner and are stuffed full of turkey and chocolates.
Now it’s Boxing Day, sports day, and a ‘biggy’ coming up at Coventry this afternoon.
The disrespect Coventry have shown to our away fans by charging 45 pounds for a ticket has been recognised by our owners and they are offering free bus travel to compensate them, what a great gesture. I wonder if they can recreate the twenty is plenty scheme we had for away tickets some years ago, that would be handy with money tight in these times.
The atmosphere created for the full house Wrexham match was a credit to the owners and fans and hopefully we can do it again on Boxing Day against West Brom, it certainly helped the players get the win.
Meantime there’s the top and bottom clashes against Coventry and Oxford, today and Monday to overcome first.
Good luck to the Swans, let’s cause the biggest upset of the day by getting a result up there this afternoon.

Coventry 1 (Mason-Clark 43’) - Swansea 0
A game of missed chances for both sides, but Coventry quality shone through, Mason-Clark particularly.
Vipotnik and Cullen guilty of missing easy chances where the result could have been different.
Now we are back in the relegation mix, four points off third from bottom Oxford who beat Southampton today.

Oxford game massive after this defeat. Managerless Oxford beat Southampton 2-1 today with a late goal, Oxford are third from bottom and we are just four points ahead of them.
We are blunt up front, two good chances missed by Vipotnik and Cullen, also Widell.
We are also weak to the long throw as we saw with the goal today.

[Estoban]

We badly need a right-back so Galbraith can move back to our weakened midfield who are creating little.
Thing is, the owners Xmas statement seemed to imply we will not utilising the January transfer market, surely they’re not serious.
Parker has been discounted as an U21’s player for now and Key can’t stop a cross, his confidence is shot.
