Swans man to watch
Andre Ayew
Andre is back in the goals
Andre Ayew on Forest “The next game will be a hard one,” said the 31-year-old. “We know there's 19 games left and so many points. “It's a marathon and we need to keep going to the end. The team who is going to be strong mentally and physically will be able to do something great. “But with so many games to play, I think it’s important that we only look at the next game. And we will do that for the rest of the season. “We are doing good but we won’t get carried away. We must keep working and work harder because we've got 19 games left and there are a lot of points to play for and get before we can think about anything.”
Forest man to watch
Joe Worrall
Defender Worrall is catching the eye of numerous premier league sides including gravelly voiced Burnley. He has only enjoyed being one of the first on the team sheet last and this season. Before that he was on loan at Glasgow Rangers and Dagenham & Redbridge where he scored his last competitive goal. Worrall is from a place called Hucknall.

General observations on the purchase of minty chocolates in Nottingham
Forest will be smarting after the recent drubbing, so will come straight out of the blocks.
They'll be looking to physically dominate and bully with their preferred 4231 formation (like Norwich but without a Cantwell). We can easily outmatch them with formation, and with the right team selection.
Which is why having Bennett back for Cabango is vital, as is omitting the hapless Dhanda.
2-1.

This will be no easy match on Weds, take out the FA Cup result and Forest are on a good run - they've only lost 1 of their last 12 games, with 6 wins and 7 clean sheets.
Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

Had he and Bennett played against the Bees it would have been a very different contest.
Our defence would have been so much higher, Grimes wouldn't have been on his own against a marauding midfield, our WBs would have been on the front foot - totally negating their ploy.
A doubly whammy where our expected source of strength became our Achilles heel with Cabango floundering badly, clearly targeted by their astute manager. Hence our backline and midfield so deep and on the back foot.
As Clive Woodward so famously says, 'it's all in the selection' (when Fitness, Set-ups, non-negotiables are primed). Selection of starters and selection of sparse finishers (only if needed, to drive home Plan A, there is no Plan B).

Couldn’t agree more. And they still couldn’t beat us!

Let's put them to the sword, and send out a massive statement of intent.
We are going up, We are going up!
Over the last few weeks (since our last defeat) you could sense a hardening of mentality- I think the squad not only doesn’t countenance defeat but as Hourihane said won’t even countenance conceding any goals! A great sign.

Is that the game we had a CB sent off and not replaced before they scored? The one when Cabango was given a higher rating than everyone except Grimes and Woodman. And the Cabango that Whoscored season rating is rating is higher than any of the 7 back line defenders on the field that day? And the player who is only bettered among the Swansea ranks by Ayew (7.21) and Hourihane (7.74)?

Cabango eh!
I don't go on these WhoScored ratings if I'm being honest but I'm unsure why Cabango is getting grief by certain people on here though. Each to their own I suppose.

One of the better central halves in the league, top ten for me.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

Beats me too. All our back 3 are marvels who have given Woody an easy ride and gained him legend status-one he does not deserve. Cabango is a terrific lad and going to be very big in the Wales game
