EXTENDED MATCHDAY HIGHLIGHTS BELOW
Latest team news George Byers is the only Swans player unavailable. Preston have a full squad to select from.
Probably the most memorable game was on the 2nd May 1981 at Deepdale when the swans won 3-1 to secure promotion to the old division one under John Toshack. For a lot of older swans fans this was pay back for the 2-1 loss at Villa Park in March 1964 in front of 63,000 half of which were Swansea Town supporters. At the end of that game Preston won 2-1 in what was described at the time as a pretty poor referee display with decisions going against the swans which were let’s say ‘extremely questionable’
Some memories from 1981.
Another fantastic swans memory came in September 2008 when Ferrie Bodde scored a scintillating 40 yard plus goal on twenty minutes. The swans won the game 2-0 that night with Jordi Gomez getting the second goal from the penalty spot.
Jordi Gomez & Ferrie Bodde
Swans fans are none too confident regards this game, the lack of team strengthening and seemingly too many players waiting to move on spells out a home win, a draw would be acceptable.
DID YOU KNOW ?
Freddie Flintoff was born in Preston, and KFC opened their first restaurant in the U.K. in Preston. Here’s one for you, one of the first women’s football teams formed in Preston, yes they were called ‘Dick Kerr Ladies’ Er ... Is that ok ?
Preston has the tallest church spire in England and has a pretty large B&M as well.
Here’s a semi interesting thing about our hosts this weekend. Preston and its surrounding area have provided evidence of ancient Roman activity, largely in the form of a Roman road which led to a camp at Walton-le-Dale. The Angles established Preston; its name is derived from the Old English meaning "priest's settlement" and in the Domesday Book is recorded as "Prestune".
The Domesday Book yesterday.
It would be at this point we would do a pubs to visit and hotels recommended. Pretty pointless really. However, it’s safe to say they do have pubs and hotels in Preston, which is commendable.
We shouldn’t leave our fact finding mission on Preston without covering one of the towns best public houses, The Black Horse. Conveniently situated next to Wilkos, once you have bought a shit load of bargains you didn’t know you needed you can relax and choose from the many local ales and fizzy lagers served to your table.
This is the Black Horse, next door as you can see is Wilkos, who are in direct competition with many of B&M’s products.
Swansea hold the most wins between the two teams with 25, the swans biggest win was 5-0 in 1929, although they have recorded numerous four goal games. In that game one Jack Armand played for the swans, the clubs first overseas player. Born in India and Anglo Indian he played for two seasons and scored ten goals in around fifty appearances. Not bad, a bit like Stephen Torpey.
Jack Armand and the Swansea Town 1929/30 squad. Jack is in the middle row third from left. Or four from the right for political equality.
Fotmob make Preston favourites for the game, with a draw next favourable. If this game is anything like last seasons Deepdale confrontation we should be in for a cracker.

They didn’t sit back deliberately. It was not part of the game plan.
Preston changed shape and personnel and attacked more forcing our lads back and in football despite the best intent to attack it can become impossible for periods during a game.
And then when defending a lead away from home there is no need to commit too many players forward as that leaves you open to counter attack, especially late on.
1-0 away win. Clean sheet. New players finding their feet. A very solid back three of Rodon Guehi Cabango. Ayew still here (for now). A great day for Steve Cooper and Swansea City ðŸ‘
So in your first two paragraphs what you’re actually saying is Cooper couldn’t change tactics to cope with Prestons change in tactics?
I think you’ll find as soon as we took off MGW (Our goal scorer and attacking midfielder) and subbed him with Fulton (More defensively minded) and and replaced our pacy and dangerous centre (that’s Lowe by the way) with Wayne Routledge.
As a result our forward thrust faded and we forced ourselves into the back foot.
If you’re going to write about football, even if it is only for WOL give an accurate account Noige.

Great start for your boys, not a easy place to gain three points
Thanks, and a good showing, trying to steadily implement our bolder set-up.
Hats off to Leeds for continuing to believe in your style at Anfield, fair play highly entertaining. Being true to your philosophy also served us well and won many admirers, as I'm sure you will too (if you can control your fans' PR image).

"Much lauded" Preston thump Derby away from home.
Maybe puts our fantastic result and performance into some kind of early perspective.
Derby played with 10 men for half the game and Preston won thanks to a stoppage time penalty that supposedly shouldn't have been given (haven't seen it but the manager is fuming).

You may be missing the point.
And, check out the facts and the stats from Preston's deserved away win over Derby.
"After watching his side dominate much of the proceedings, Preston boss Alex Neil saw things differently : "We played well and deserved to win the game," he said. "They scored from their one attack, completely against the run of play.""
"Preston should have been in front after a one-sided first half ....."

So when we have 40% possession and score from our only shot on target it's a fantastic performance, but when Derby do the same (only with 10 men for 40 minutes) and end up losing due to a dodgy penalty Preston deserved their win?

As evidence for our win being extra impressive goes, it's pretty thin.
Do think we'll be similar to Derby this season though.
As confidence grows I'm certain we could take the league apart, and fingers crossed we do. As for any specific club being like us, I think we are pretty unique.
