The Swans have no additional injuries from the information available, although at least five key first team players are out until January. Alan Sheehan starts out on his search for consistency today, "So it is about finding the formula to be consistent in every game, which we have been at times this season. We know it will be a tough game, we have a whole lot of respect for Rotherham and the challenge they will represent. But I firmly believe it is about us, how we do things and how we can hurt them. That’s what the mindset has been, focusing on how we can beat the opposition in front of us”
Sheehan as much as anyone is stepping in to a situation many have done in Swans history, he is a likeable individual brought to the club by Paul Watson in the summer. We can only hope he is up to the position he is now in.

The Coventry Conference – ReportCoventry away, for so long a fixture that loomed almost as large as the spectre of Eoin Jess over Queens Park Rangers, turned into an eighth away win of the campaign and survival party for a manager and support base who both really stepped up when it mattered in 23/24.
