THIS GAME “DAN” BE WATCHED LIVE LEGALLY AND ILLEGALLY
Well here it is folks, it’s the top of the table clash that no other table can top unless it’s the same as this one and both sides are called Swansea City and Norwich City. And that’s a fact. Norwich are top of the league and have been mustard this season. Canary great Ernie Colman would be proud. It’s one of those games where once you get the top off the aroma will assault your taste buds like bird food. We are not trying to bull you here Tommy.

Norwich is the second county town of Suffolk near Ipswich, which is also in Suffolk but a far cleaner place than its local rival. In fact when Norwich was in Norfolk they hated it so much they moved to Suffolk. I went to Norfolk once. I didn’t stay there. They are also referred to as sheepshaggers' but of course their basic ability is lacking, the initial torment, the gaze into the eye upon capture, free sliding trouser zip, tentative but firm touch and almost leisurely movements means that Norwich have neither the training nor general mastery in sheep procurement and management. It’s a shame, but you can’t fake the truth.

Normally you have to win most games against your rivals at the top to win the championship or come runner up. I said against Brentford before a ball was kicked that I would take a draw if and only if we went behind or was second best on the balance of play and that is what happened. If Swans don't beat Norwich tomorrow then Swansea will be more likely than not to miss out on automatic promotion, check out the bookies odds, yes the points difference can be overturned but it would be odds against, it's a massive game that Swansea need to win.
“ Need to win “
Not really. Big game certainly. A draw will be decent enough.

You really are a masochist!
Enjoy the rugby? With the joke of a side Pivac has turned us into....Given our usual slow start to the 6 Nations I expect a right mauling this weekend given how far we have regressed

Does that mean you would sign up for a draw before a ball is kicked ?
I wouldn't sign up for a draw before a ball is kicked, im hoping for us to win, like all games, if it's top opposition and they score first (particularly if it's after half an hour), or they are better than us on the balance of play and most of the game has been played or we go down to 10 men etc, then I would sign for a draw in running, but this game I think we can win and we should be targeting a win and the players and staff need to be telling each other just that - a win would be a good result and a draw wouldn't be a good result (in the normal run of things).

Of course we won't set out for a point, but I fail to see why you can't see a point at the end of the day isn't such a bad thing.
There will be 19 games left after Friday, 57 points.
A lot can change over that period
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

I expect us to go for the win but I wouldn't be so sure that we won't take a cautious approach as that is the way we tend to set up and play, we need the mindset of winners, the experts and statisticians think we are riding our luck and should be down in 10th place, I think there is more to it than that, if we don't win the chances of us going up automatically will take a bump.

Norwich are in an uncomfortable streak too, their fans remain resilient. We have to be the same.
Another 'must not lose' match bordering on a 'must win' if we're serious about automatic promotion. Things can and will change, but the way things have shaped up of late it looks increasingly likely Brentford will finish top- leaving what could well be a straight shootout between Norwich and ourselves for 2nd place.
Nearly everything seems to be in our favour going into this one so no real excuses for not looking to take the game to them a la Reading (h) and Watford (h) as opposed to our poor, overly negative performance against Brentford last week. Got to fancy us to win it but won't be that disappointed by a draw provided the performance is there and we try to to play ourselves, rather than just stifle the opposition.

Unusual for me but I think we will beat them.
It could be us and Brentford going up automatically.

Either way it could be that trio that goes up
I'm seeing it the same way, I think we will win this game against the runaway leaders of the Championship and if that happens I think it might be Brentford first and Swansea second in the final analysis, I would take that if that was too happen.

If that happens, the good folk of Holywell will see my sparklers
If we are serious about promotion then we have to beat the teams around us at the top when at home. Beating Norwich is a confidence boost to us and a knock to theirs, then win the game in hand to maybe go top. It's what we should be aiming for. You have to aim high and work like feck to get there, aiming low is just a lack of ambition. If we are over performing according to stats then lets keep doing so, lets keep confounding the odds!
Three great goals, Borini say no more but Gower’s goal was even better. Forgot all about Priskin but what a contribution!
Looking at us then we were so open to counter attack through the midfield and our set piece defenses were terrible. Have to say (going back to the comparisons thread recently) that we are so much stronger now all over the pitch apart from goal scoring.
I hope Korey Smith plays tonight - didn’t realise he played in that game as well.
