    Birmingham v Swansea

    So, the International Break has ended and League Football resumes.
    The Swans have nine games left to alter the course of club history and get back to the Premier League. After such a fine season surely we can’t let it slip from our grasp at the final hurdle.
    Two consecutive defeats for the first time this season before the break has shaken supporters confidence and tonight’s match at Birmingham will be a big chance for the players to get back on track.
    There are doubts about the fitness of several players. Hourihane went off injured in the Cardiff game, Guehi and Ayew came back from International duty injured, Roberts must be knackered after three games for Wales in a week, and Arriola has gone back to the States with a season ending injury.
    Birmingham, who have struggled this season, have been boosted by a change of manager, Lee Bowyer taking over two games ago, so another hard game is anticipated. Good luck to the Swans.

    1-0 and another defeat, three in a row and can’t even score a goal.
    This is a complete collapse, what’s going on I don’t know.
    Autos are gone and we could blow the play-offs our play is so bad.
    Cooper is unwilling to change the system as it’s been found out by every team, stop our wing backs and you stop us playing, Roberts and Bidwell were anonymous.
    Cooper is unwilling to use subs to change the game, why was Whittaker coming on with 30 seconds left of the game?
    Sub Dhanda was a disaster and gave away the penalty, sub Routledge hardly touched the ball, all three subs way too late coming on.
    Whittaker should have been on a half-time as you could see the way the match was going.
    I am totally frustrated with this team blowing promotion like a bunch of babies.

    Hello Jack & Esto.
    Hey, whats happened to Swanny all of a sudden, yes this is worrying form just at the wrong time.
    Did you watch our 1-1 draw with Reading today, which also had a massive influence on the Play off race. Both of us are struggling a bit now for wins and its given the annoying Bournemouth a way back into the mix.

    Acido, it’s hard watching a team throw away promotion but that’s what they’ve done.
    Last night they could hardly put two passes together and had no fight in them.
    Our system has been found out, but the stubborn head coach won’t change it.
    At the moment we couldn’t beat our way out of a paper bag.

    Hi Acido,
    I’ve been taking a few days off from football after watching that garbage on Friday night.
    It was sickening to watch your team throw away promotion by losing to a team that had forgotten how to win.

    Wow lads, I didn't know things had got this bad for Swanny all of a sudden.
    Remember though your still in a good Play off position, whether automatic promotion has been ruined or not.
    We visit the unpredictable mid table Luton tomorrow and I know Reading host inconsistent Derby. Who have Swanny got.
