Correct. Why push yourself with the game won and another in three days when the opposition aren’t laying a glove on you?
Was at that Millwall game and it was horrendous but in a different way. Swansea now are infinitely better than Millwall were that day. We had loads of the ball but never once looked like doing anything with it.
But to answer the OP, no. Fox maybe if we had more options but we don’t so he’ll be in the squad for the foreseeable future. No need to overreact though the smart money is on Norwich to pump us tomorrow given our record without Cook and there being a bit of an edge to it with their team and crowd. |

Big communal recycling bins on my road overflowing with all sorts of random crap people have chucked out. Furniture, clothes (clothes donation thing is 2 mins away), books, unbroken boxes. |

In a serious country you’d have Cardiff v Swansea and Bristol City v Plymouth or at least some combination of those four but we can’t trust football fans apparently. It’s like they’ve purposely made southern teams travel as far as possible on Boxing Day. All those Prem London teams and you get Bournemouth v Palace, Brighton v Brentford and Southampton v West Ham. Oh and Arsenal v Ipswich. Newcastle v Villa ffs. Forest v Spurs. I’m sure it’s deliberate from a police request.
Coventry v Plymouth ffs.
I still fancy us against Watford even if we lose on Sunday because they’re soft as anything away on a bad day but it’s a big advantage to have no travel over such a quick run of games. [Post edited 27 Dec 18:43]

The silver lining I hope is he realises the approach at Watford is better than yesterday’s and at Bristol City. Probably more so without Cook and Morrison. He’ll burn his saviour points with the fans quickly trying that at Norwich when we’re 2-0 down after 20 minutes.
If Smyth is out just play Lloyd there please. Can’t be carrying Madsen/Andersen. |

Another 45 minutes where I’m no closer to knowing what Madsen is meant to be good at. I’m relieved now when the bloke plays a successful ten yard pass under no pressure. It’ll get lost a bit amongst the various dire performances and defending but that was atrocious. |

People who can’t just leave your house when it’s time to go. Endless faffing about, having a little chat with everyone and generally hovering so you can’t just clear up and relax. |

A 4-0 defeat to WBA in 1968 according to the reliable QPRReport (at least since 1967 anyway). Wouldn’t fancy us to keep it that way in the next hour. |

Easy to say with hindsight but with such a quick turnaround of games this was probably one to mix it up a bit. There’s no pressing at all. Just letting them do what they want. The sort of game you need someone at 0-0 or 1-0 to let them know they’re there but we’ve been lovely and nice. |

Playing quite similarly to Bristol City who we set up for in exactly the same way and clung on through mostly luck and some guts. You can’t play this way with Cook and Morrison out. It’s nuts. No presence up front when we do hoof it away either. |

I assume that’s a record. Almost as statistically unlikely as the run at Forest. With Cook I’d have said today is the day. Saying that, Swansea fans online aren’t hugely confident. |

He’s a meh manager no Prem team is likely to want any time soon unless he does something with a club like West Brom IMO. Would be one of the better lookers in West Bromwich too. |

West Brom fans weren’t exactly delighted with Corberan but they’re a mystifyingly hard bunch to please. Coops Cooper feels the move there. Saint Marti would hold out for something better IMO as would Rohl. |

Completely agree but I guess we just have to ‘trust the process’ with Madsen. I can’t see it working out but then he’s just not my sort of player. The cool kids on Twitter seem to think he’s doing ok but I can’t see it yet. The left-back situation was indeed a farce that will have to be remedied unless Larkeche is the grand plan.
Not going to get overexcited now we’re at the dizzy heights of 14th just as it was silly to overreact after half a dozen games. If we can be here in March knowing we aren’t going down and needing an unlikely but possible run to nab sixth that’ll do. |

Hulse was my first thought but then remembered Agyemang. Ismael Miller was bad but gave us one phenomenal moment.
Some guy called Giorgios Tofas played for half an hour that season. Don’t remember him. |

Weird player. Bet he looks good in training. The classic case of the kid who was comfortable playing in a big club’s academy for years too long rather than play adult football then looks soft and ineffective when starting to play adult football at about 23. Doubt he’ll be a professional footballer when he’s 30. |

Absolutely keep Dunne. Proven good egg, covers two positions if required. Cook clearly doesn’t have a fitness issue given he plays every week but a lot depends on the planned style of play. He’ll be 34 on big money so if we’re playing the low block, cling to a clean sheet with our cold dead hands style as we are now it’s probably worth an extra year. If not, those wages are probably better spent elsewhere.
Colback absolutely not. He’s only rated highly when he’s not playing, which is often. |
