It’s a big support heading north for this BH cracker ( well, we do have to build these things up )
Wigan just have to win. By close on Friday the Swans had sold just under 1,200 tickets for this one. It is now pay on the day, cash only.
 Swansea City enter in to the last chance saloon on Monday 9th Apr 2023 09:00It was a 2-2 draw at the Swansea.Com Stadium which was greeted with some displeasure by the home fans back in November. Despite some refereeing errors the Swans most certainly fell to the set piece routines that Wigan relied upon during this game. That Swansea side may well have improved somewhat since then but tomorrows Bank Holiday Monday fixture ( kick off 3pm ) will be a huge test for Russell Martin and his charges.  0

 Piroe’s party goes on as Swansea outclass Wigan Athletic 10th Apr 2023 17:14It was another impressive performance by the Swans this afternoon as they took all the points from this encounter at the DW Stadium. Swansea City fans travelled in large numbers when you take into consideration the distances involved. It has to be said Wigan never looked like they had any answers to Swansea City’s control of the game. 0

Not a fan of Grimes, Allen and Jay in the same side, throw Lati in the mix as well and we're a little short offensively. |
Given away by Grimes but otherwise we're looking tidy, |  |

Pato and Piroe have always linked so well together. Definitely need to persist with him ahead of Cundle. |  |

Lovely move. Joel seems to have his tail up again.
Helps that he's got some genuine attacking presence behind him in Pato and Ntcham. Fulton pushing further forward than he has done previously too. [Post edited 10 Apr 2023 15:38]

Missing a trick if we don't sign one of their players, despite being not particularly impressive, it will be one for the fans in the stands..."Callum Lang ....yn llawn daioni!" |  |

That was as close to perfect Martinball as you can get, the 2nd goal was what he's been trying to do for 18mths, it's a beautiful thing when it happens, just so difficult, that's why it's so rare. | | | |

Wigan aren’t no great shakes, but that’s neither here nor there before anyone says it 😂 | |

20 minutes of quick first touch passing and I can see a good few yellow cards for Wigan. Spikey bunch even when not fighting for survival. |  |

It's been miles away from Martinball. We're not playing three at the back with Cundle (30 games, one goal, two assists) in an advanced midfield role for a start.
It's more like he's doing what most people have identified that we need to do all season. Pick creative, attacking players in attacking roles, and get the ball to them as quick and as often as possible. We have done it now and again during his tenure to positive results but too often revert back. | |
