Fair play to him.  Lot of running needed today for an opponent like Swansea (so makes sense)?  Instead of King, or alongside King to allow Scott to go into the more advanced role?

Any other team news?  Ta

I was impressed with him last time he played. Good to see him start

Don’t know any other team news unfortunately Dave just that he’s starting. COYR!

Think I went to the wrong stadium this morning 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Afternoon all! Will be listening on Robins audio and hoping we can keep up our good record against them this season, would take a point, but hope that we can improve today and get all three. So hope all going have a good day and Come On You Red's!

Why go to Swansea for a walk?  We’ve got Severn Beach

Went there yesterday and it's not a bad walk to be fair, when they finish the new flood and ecology defences it will be a energy sapping trip all the way to Aust. 

Back to the streaming, are some clubs so IT illiterate that they don't understand VPN technology, or do some have shares in those companies?

Excellent news, I really like to see these kids coming through and we are going to need some energy on the middle of the park with the way Swansea try to bore teams into submission.

I've been staying here a couple of days and got to admit I am very envious of Swansea. Less than 30 minutes away they have stunning beaches, absolutely breathtaking, and we have Weston!

Wales has fantastic unspoilt beaches, some national trust, all along the west coast and up to Anglesey.

Traeth Mwnt is a favourite, great for kids, lovely beach and bottle nosed dolphins can be seen from the beach or on the cliff (Cardigan Bay has the biggest pod of bottle nosed dolphins in Europe apparently).

Anyway, hopefully James is fit and Tanner returns from illness.

Will we line up as usual or with two up top as we did for a large part of the game at Luton ? Maybe Conway back on the bench ?

A point would be good, but I fancy a 2-1 win for us today

Lets play a good game, 2-0 City. COYR

Feel like this might be a good game to judge City’s appetite to battle.  After Wednesday’s disappointing start to the game, and below par performance overall, the players have a chance to show it was a rare showing as they go up against Swansea for the 4th time this season.

I think Tanner will be back, so the back four picks itself.  Questions whether OTC might make his first start over King, or we might even play a front two after the little tweak second half v Luton.  Would be good to see Matty James back if fit.

At least we should be able to play on the counter as Swansea like to get their fullbacks into high positions.

Omar will start today.

Would like to see him start every game between now and end of season , we’ve got nothing to play for give him the game time and judge him at end season . Is he a starter for next season, squad player or needs a loan spell

Doesn’t appear to be on the Sky Red Button. Hope I’m wrong 

No , it’s not

How long is Matty James out for then? 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Idehen on the bench, there`s a surprise. Back on the bus?

Didn't NP say a few would be back after international break? No idea if that included James

What is the average age of that side, it looks like a u23 game

No need to rush him back for this IMO. We`ve got two weeks off afterwards so let`s get him ready for then. We don`t need to have partially fit players start out of necessity possibly doing them more damage.

And Swansea have prevented it from being on RobinsTV for the UK.  Bloody Welsh - why can't they play in their own leagues.

[bcfc01]

Cornick and Bell up front ?

Best of luck to OTC on his full debut.

 

[Jerseybean]

Swansea City: Andy Fisher; Harry Darling, Ben Cabango, Nathan Wood, Ryan Manning; Liam Walsh, Matt Grimes (captain); Luke Cundle, Joel Piroe, Olivier Ntcham; Liam Cullen.  

Substitutes: Andreas Søndergaard, Jamie Paterson, Morgan Whittaker, Kyle Naughton, Matty Sorinola, Ollie Cooper, Cameron Congreve. 

[maxjak]

Still persisting with Cornick i see?   Hope he shows us something today........I appreciate he seems to be lacking fitness, but so far i am underwhelmed

So much hate being thrown at Cornick on twitter, I know he's not been great but he's also not being given a consistent run so of course it's going to take him longer to get settled in the team. 

Regardless of what people think he's our player and Nigel obviously sees something in him, turning on him so soon is not going to help and attacking him for not getting goals even no-one seems to be scoring in that central role seems unfair imo

[Leveller]

Cornick and Bell keeping out Wells, Weimann and Mehmeti. Odd.

[Kolsch]

Nige has gone for pace, clearly we’re going to try and hit them quick on the break like the other games.

Quite agree, got to give him a chance, I'm sure he will get better as he gets an understanding with the players around him. Too early to make a opinion yet, we will see!

It says more about Twitter than it does about Cornick

Gone for energy for an hour as we will be chasing Swansea all over the park as usual. Seems a sensible line up to me. Bring on Mehmeti and Wells on the hour.
