Swansea manager Graham Potter admitted, "We are some way off
being a top-six side still" after seeing his team share the spoils in
a 1-1 draw with Preston last weekend. Courtney Baker-Richardson
finished a superb team move to give the Swans a slender
advantage they merited, before North End hit back from the
penalty spot only five minutes later. Preston had the best chance
to find a winner before Earl's dismissal, but Erwin Mulder made a
double save to deny them. Bersant Celina was Swansea's most
likely threat in forward areas and played a key role in the opener,
although the youngster was unable to create any further
opportunities of note despite the hosts being reduced to 10 men
late on.
Post-match, Potter said: "You need to survive key moments and
be a bit more clinical. We gave the ball away too easily and did
not do enough to score more than one." The Swansea boss will
now look forward to the return of top goalscorer Oli McBurnie
from illness here, while midfielder Tom Carroll has returned
to training after three months out injured.
Sheffield United move into automatic promotion places
David McGoldrick scored his 10th goal of the season as
Sheffield United beat QPR to move into the Championship's
top two. The Irish international scored the winning goal before
half-time, heading Ollie Norwood's cross home as the Blades
produced a solid, if unspectacular, performance to
edge what was largely an even contest at Bramall Lane.
John Egan came close to making it 2-0 late on when he nodded
wide at the far post, but United were rarely seriously threatened
by the Hoops as they bounced back from their shock FA Cup Third
Round defeat to non-league Barnet with their fourth successive
league win. Victory, coupled with dropped points for Norwich,
saw the Blades move into second.
January signings Gary Madine and Kieran Dowell started on the
bench last Saturday and are expected to play a role as a
substitute on Saturday once more. Chris Basham returned from
suspension to start against QPR and should line-up on the
right-side of defence in Sheffield United's preferred 3-5-2
system. Leon Clarke and Paul Coutts are hoping for recalls.
Tickets: there are still lots of tickets available in most parts
of the stadium. Most of the blue areas have sporadic seats
available. The North West and South West Corners have some
rows of seats situated together.
Sheffield United will be bringing over 1,000 fans on Saturday.

I knew what it meant but I’d just been reading the Bristol City ticket allocation thread and my mind was still on that game.

Not starting a new thread for this but all the 'man to man marking on corners' advocates check out Norwich's third goal tonight for how it can all go wrong. Attacker gets a free run into an empty six yard box because no one is occupying any of the big danger zones. One man fails to win his one on one battle and a simple goal conceded. |  | | |

Whereas we'd never concede a simple headed goal in or around the six yard box. NEVER. |  |

Well yeah but every anti-zonal marking thread we have has people acting as if basic man marking would solve all our problems and wouldn't be just as simple to exploit when a good team prepares for it.
Potter's zonal system looks a little better recently with Rodon moved to the back of the six yard box. | | | |

If we put in an Old School Swansea Performance and get a result tomorrow with other results going for us we're still only a win and a draw away from a top six spot. If the unthinkable happened and we did get Promoted (by the playoffs) would it be too soon to make an impact and survive? Considering the squad we have now compared to the 2011 squad with Ash, Joe, Leon, Taylor, and Dyer stepping up to be Premiership players with relative ease, do we have four or five players who could form the back bone of a team that could compete in the Premiership?
Or does it take 4 to 5 Years of Building like the last time or even Tosh's Team James, Curtis, Charles etc. | | | |

I doubt the bottom third of the PL is going to be any better next season so anyone going up is going to have a chance at survival. | | | |

Tosh team had 4 players who played in all Divisions. It seems what we did in with both Martinez and Toshack was assemble the core of the squad further down the league. For us to do that we have to get relegated. The championship is a difficult place to build a team. I don't see a team that can compete in the Premier League at the moment , or even the beginnings of one. |  |

So swans fans are being stereotypical for thinking they're a long ball team - so they respond by bringing up the biggest stereotype of all. That all Welsh people have intimate relations with sheep.
Hope we batter these, cocky baastards getting ideas above their station. |  |
