Swansea manager Graham Potter admitted, "We are some way off
being a top-six side still" after seeing his team share the spoils in
a 1-1 draw with Preston last weekend. Courtney Baker-Richardson
finished a superb team move to give the Swans a slender
advantage they merited, before North End hit back from the
penalty spot only five minutes later. Preston had the best chance
to find a winner before Earl's dismissal, but Erwin Mulder made a
double save to deny them. Bersant Celina was Swansea's most
likely threat in forward areas and played a key role in the opener,
although the youngster was unable to create any further
opportunities of note despite the hosts being reduced to 10 men
late on.
Post-match, Potter said: "You need to survive key moments and
be a bit more clinical. We gave the ball away too easily and did
not do enough to score more than one." The Swansea boss will
now look forward to the return of top goalscorer Oli McBurnie
from illness here, while midfielder Tom Carroll has returned
to training after three months out injured.
Sheffield United move into automatic promotion places
David McGoldrick scored his 10th goal of the season as
Sheffield United beat QPR to move into the Championship's
top two. The Irish international scored the winning goal before
half-time, heading Ollie Norwood's cross home as the Blades
produced a solid, if unspectacular, performance to
edge what was largely an even contest at Bramall Lane.
John Egan came close to making it 2-0 late on when he nodded
wide at the far post, but United were rarely seriously threatened
by the Hoops as they bounced back from their shock FA Cup Third
Round defeat to non-league Barnet with their fourth successive
league win. Victory, coupled with dropped points for Norwich,
saw the Blades move into second.
January signings Gary Madine and Kieran Dowell started on the
bench last Saturday and are expected to play a role as a
substitute on Saturday once more. Chris Basham returned from
suspension to start against QPR and should line-up on the
right-side of defence in Sheffield United's preferred 3-5-2
system. Leon Clarke and Paul Coutts are hoping for recalls.
Tickets: there are still lots of tickets available in most parts
of the stadium. Most of the blue areas have sporadic seats
available. The North West and South West Corners have some
rows of seats situated together.
Sheffield United will be bringing over 1,000 fans on Saturday.

Not according to their manager who said they lost it rather than us winning it.
Churlish comment I thought. |  |

Good win. Important win, I think, to show we can still compete with the top teams like we did at the start of the season (and didn't in December).
9th looks much better than 15th at the very least. |  | | |

Wilder's a right prick.
Their system exposed us first half and we didn't get a handle on the spaces until Naughton and Roberts pushed right up dragging their wingbacks back, and Fer and Celina especially could drop into fullback positions to get on the ball.
James threat of pace up top as opposed to McBurnie's lack of it opened up the midfield and made it a different game (until Madine came on and both teams changed again).
Gutted for Joe. And Routledge, who looked furious for about ten minutes before half time. He knew he'd done something. | | | |

His players were out on their feet in the second half and the gaps started appearing. |  |

So swans fans are being stereotypical for thinking they're a long ball team - so they respond by bringing up the biggest stereotype of all. That all Welsh people have intimate relations with sheep.
Hope we batter these, cocky baastards getting ideas above their station. |
Well, to balance that. Here's a typical comment by them from after the match.
Swansea — Not in the game first half but dominant second half. It repeated much of the game at Bramall Lane. Ridiculous they are so low with the attacking players and talent they have. Bit embarrassing really. Maybe the likes of Routledge, Fer, Celina, Dyer only turn up when they play us but really, they should be doing much better. They have some pace and also some dribbling ability who can unlock doors. |  |
