In the blink of an eye Tom brings his cannons to south Wales, the man Leeds are now stating they wanted to sign, like a Michu to West Ham. The Potters are coming and not one of them is called Graham.
Will we see any surprises in Luke's first eleven selection, is he still going to play two "wingers" while having full backs who are more akin to playing as wingbacks.
Are we going to see fullback also pushing into the middle of midfield leaving gaps for opposition wingers to take advantage of, requiring centre halves to either come across to cover their forward run or mark centreforwards, a defensive strategy of shifting across to one side of pitch leaving players time unmarked te for accurate quick play to find unmarked wingers to then attack down the wingers pushing our defenders back into the penalty box.
Key has pace to burn hand the pace of most wingers and Cabango's experience adds strength to the righthand side, Darling is now defending/attacking the aerial ball and big centreforwards a lot better this season but Tymon is struggling in his defensive role against competent wingers, he either needs help on the pitch or coaching to ensure when the opposition decide to target our left hand side he can deal with it much better than he is at the moment, that is not me having a go at him because of the own goal as those things can happen to anyone if they feel under pressure.
I felt against Sheffield that we match them and even our substitutions didn't weaken us as be mention of previous games. I feel the team need and element of being allowed to do their own thing to get us in the attacking third because it does seem as if we are under orders which is stifling our forward momentum.
Early in the season and a number of positives and what if moments, manager being cautious with team selection but he may need to be a bit bolder to up our threat in the final third and maybe a little more restraint in our need to get players forward instead of initially letting the ball do the work, hence opening areas of the pitch that tend to get bogged down as we try to attack.

Cullen should be back today, I was told he had covid but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Whether he will be fit enough to start we will find out later, if he is it will be a massive bonus.

Definitely ready for selection 👍

It’s a bit of a sign of where we are in that department that we are placing our hopes in Cullen being fit and in the starting line up! I mean no disrespect to him, he gives everything but he’s not a top half Championship striker, if that’s where our current ambitions lie.

There are only one group of people to blame because we are in this position and it's not the coaching staff.

I’ve noticed again that the Swans site only lists the monthly pass for purchase and not the one off game of the day. This happened last week and they put it up late. Looks like a clumsy attempt to get people to buy the monthly package at £25 in case the one-off doesn’t come up. Poor really!

Sheffield United midweek - brought Kieffer Moore and Rhian Brewster off the bench. We started with Peart-Harris up front.
That’s a good indication of where our ambitions lie.

More attacking for sure.
