Team News
Birmingham City have question marks over the availability of Scott Hogan and Ivan Sanchez for the Good Friday appointment with Swansea City. Head coach Lee Bowyer has revealed both have had injections to address issues they have been managing for several weeks. Sanchez has been labouring with a hernia and has missed time training, while Hogan has been playing with a back problem — but will train on Wednesday. Blues face third-placed Swansea at St Andrew’s on Friday evening in a televised encounter with a side looking to resuscitate their hopes of an automatic promotion place.
Andre Ayew and Conor Hourihane will continue to be assessed ahead of Swansea City's Championship clash with Birmingham City. Ayew suffered a knock late on while playing for Ghana during the international break after Hourihane was withdrawn in the early stages of Swansea's defeat to Cardiff City with a hamstring issue. Steve Cooper has confirmed the pair have not trained ahead of Friday's trip to the Midlands, although they will be given the chance to prove their fitness for the clash with Lee Bowyer's side. "Andre’s back and everyone knows he had a bit of a knock," said the head coach. "Conor Hourihane came off against Cardiff so those two players have got a chance of playing but they’re not training at the moment. "We’ll see how it goes by the time Friday comes.
Swansea Independent view
Ayew and Hourihane will be subs on Friday with Lowe and Whittaker up front, Lowe playing a wider role.

I hope Lowe isn't drug tested. I think he was on the smokes in Jamaica. |  |

I think you'd have to say he's one of the players playing at 75%. Spent far too long on the deck now just, and why isn't he taking that on his left!? | | | |

He is utterly one footed like most of his mates | |

Times like these I think back to the people on this forum who argued against me that Premier League teams will be interested in Lowe.
We'll do well to offload him for what we paid to a another team in this league when Cooper's replacement assesses his squad. Perhaps he'll even slide back down to League 1 or 2 where he so clearly belongs. |  |

I think he could progress with a good coach | |

Agreed.
Also, if we could pass to any decent standard it'd be nice, 64% success! There's local league teams would be upset at that.
And Lowe again, he needs subbing, late into a tackle, not nasty just slow. | |

There's 1 footed players but Jesus, I'd have backed myself to work the keeper from there on my left... and I haven't played competitive football since I was about 15. | | | |

He's appalling. He's not fast. He can't control a ball under pressure. He dribbles with his head down and he's unable to use his left foot. He's an awful finisher. I could go on.
He contributes absolutely nothing to this team. | |

Guehi, to his credit, is one of the few actually trying to make something happen in an attacking sense by driving into the space with the ball.
And he's a centre half | | | |

Not sure ours aren’t . They look disjointed and that is down to one man.
We have a striker on the bench | |

How many times does Lowe have to miscontrol the ball and subsequently foul the opposition before Whittaker is brought on? | |

Bennett, twice now he's had yards of space in front of him and he's gone wide straight towards Roberts who is marked, move into the space, draw a player and make space for others.
Or is that too simplistic by me? | |

Bennett is great at heading it away. Hasn't got much else to offer though. | |

That's far too simplistic.
