It’s another side with a new manager after another new manager embarrassed Steve Cooper who used to be a new manager before he became a slightly older one. That pathetic, gutless, outrageously poor and ridiculous performance by the swans in Birmingham has better not repeat itself or I for one will be very angry and objectionable ( again )

LIVE ON SWANS TV
Swansea City need a win not only boost their confidence as they stutter over the play off line in what has been a torrid and unprofessional time for Steve Cooper and his swans team.
Here’s Peter, he used to work in a bank before he became a referee, he wasn’t a bank teller he was actually a cash point. Being the first human cash point meant a lot to Peter, so much so he Often visits them today to chat, reminisce and gently gaze in to each other’s eyes if he finds one he especially likes. He is a ably assisted by James Mainwaring from Dads Army.
Scott Sinclair
Scott Sinclair joined the Jacks in the summer of 2010 and was an integral part of the that took them to the Premier League for the very first time the following summer, scoring a hat-trick at Wembley as the Swans defeated Reading 4-2 to earn a place at the top table of English football. He spent two years at the Liberty Stadium, before joined Manchester City, scoring 36 goals in 92 appearances — having made his home debut in a game against the Lilywhites, of all people.
Looking to the Bank Holiday clash with Steve Cooper’s side it could be Scott’s first appearance at the ground, since leaving for the Etihad: “I have great memories of my time there,” he recalled. “I was reflecting the other day that it was ten years since the Play-Off Final. “It is a great club, but we will be going there to try and get the three points and hopefully we can come away with the win. “There are a couple of people still there from my time at the club. The squad has changed a lot since I was there, but there are still a couple of old faces and it will be nice to see them.

Too late imo, btw that team would have smashed brum on friday. |
Watford aren’t very good, but yeah they would have beaten Birmingham with relative ease most likely.
All about making sure we get play offs and then it’s just a lottery then. |  | | |

Encouraging start, knocking it around half decently. Whittaker has already beaten a man, which makes a pleasant change from our players being put under pressure, turning around and passing backwards. | | | |

Yeah, after the first five minutes or so we've started falling back into bad habits again a bit.
We just need to calm down and try and knock it around a bit instead of punting it down the channels. Preston look up for a scrap too. | | | |

And me, shocking again so far, Preston look as if they're at home, we look like strangers on the field. Woodman and his distribution nearly cost us again as well. [Post edited 5 Apr 2021 15:28]

Get Dhanda on. He’ll get it down and pass it. Better than this scrappy unadulterated garbage I’m currently watching. | | | |

At this rate it is just a matter of time before they score, we can hardly get it past the half way line. | | | |

Yeah we've reverted to being afraid of the football again.
Not being helped by the Ref mind, they're all over us and going to ground quite readily and the ref is hardly giving us anything.
Needs to get his cards out to calm things down. | | | |

Every second ball picked up by the opposition...as usual. So much for shape. |  |

Nope. | | | |

No closing down on the keeper, we've three up front FFS. No physicality, no speed carrying the ball. Toothless. | |
