The injury time penalty award against Stoke on Wednesday, which gave the Swans three points and a rare win, was memorable. It’s not often decisions have favoured us in matches with Stoke over the years so they tend to stand out. The win keeps us in touch with second place Brentford and two games in hand.
Saturday we are at the Liberty and Middlesboro are the visitors. We lost the corresponding away fixture 2-1.
Let’s hope for a better result at home than the last time, where we were turned over by Bristol City after taking the lead. Their three goals were the result of individual errors, one by defender Guehi and two by goalkeeper Woodman.
Middlesboro will be tough to beat, they won their last match 1-2 away to Coventry on Tuesday night (Coventry had beaten Brentford 2-0 last home match).
Middlesboro have a good away record with four wins in the last six games, conceding only five goals.
Conversely we have a good home record too, with four wins in the last six games, conceding five goals, which suggests it will be a tight contest.
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports, the second of five of our matches being shown live on Sky this month.
