Without wishing to undermine the optimism they got thrashed last week 4-1.

But wasn’t that without Korey? who I think will play today. Interesting why  Steve Cooper  offered Korey a contract . Apparently   he watched the game at the gate between our two sides in  July 2019 and liked how Korey was so focal on the pitch commanding and encouraging his teammates. He wanted that at Swansea. So when City didn’t offer a Korey a contract it was a no brainer

Hello all!   Let's hope the new manager bounce continues today, I have voted for a 1 - 1 draw and I think that would be a good result, however, a win would be great and would continue building the lads confidence back up again. So come on boy's do it for Nigel!   COYR's

[Midlands Robin]

I've gone for 2-1 to us. 

A ragged first half will end 1-1 with our midfield in particular running around like Zebedee on crack in an effort to impress the new boss. 

Things will settle down in the second half after an "you're doing well but calm the **** down" chat from NP in the changing room. 

We will look a lot more composed in the second half and we'll break through for the winner in the last 10 minutes. 

There will be some hairy, scary moments in our defence throughout the game but we will do enough to just about cling on. 

Come on you REDS

Two academy lads on the bench today @DavefevsConway and Scott.

Hope he’s fit, at the end of boro game he had a lot of ice on his shin area.

[tin]

Play like we did at Boro and I think we might be worth a score draw. Perhaps the extra day we’ve had to recover and the confidence gained from the Boro result will give us the edge. 

It’s a bit of a freebie for NP. I don’t think we’ll see noticeable changes given what little time he’s had with the squad.

Scott is midfielder, Conway striker - odd if they should be on the bench and Pearson & Bell not...

Fam quite possibly out, and we only had 8 on the bench on Tuesday.

Nervous today for the first time in a while. The hope is the thing that gets you 

What?

You weren't nervous before Pearson was appointed?

[BLRed]

Semenyo up top to replace fam maybe and Conway to come in on bench for fam?

scott maybe takes that 9th spot

[Davefevs]

Fam got off the bus.

Think I saw Joe Low too

Highly concerning if confirmed.

EDIT: phew!

[Davefevs]

Bell and Pearson there too.

[Prinny]

AND

[Silvio Dante]

So that’s Pato missing from Tuesdays subs if I’m reading right?

Got to be our youngest bench ever

[Roe]

9 subs and Taylor Moore is the oldest! 

Edit: Actually Max is a bit older.. but still!

[Davefevs]

352 v 352.  Nagy needs to get around Hourihane today.  Kalas should face up to Ayew who drifts in their right half / our left half.

Very young defence for Swansea today.

Our bench:

[Redrascal2]

Best of luck Nige. COYR

Max is older, but ye, 24, and 23, oldest on the bench.

No, I can see Pearson has named himself on the bench and he is 57

[deadredfred]

So that young group training in the latest Failand uncut video was actually our subs bench + Sess + Semenyo. Be great to see more youth given a chance 

[Monkeh]

Not about the win today for me it's all about the performance 

[archie andrews]

That alex scott is on everything..... The one show.... Motd..... Sky...... Adverts........ Now on the bench for us........... 

[Robbored]

Pato injured?  Not in the squad

More only on the bench for the Swans?
