When a team has everything to prove a trip to the Hawthorns isn’t the best pick of venue. However, it’s the next game for Swansea City, who played and lost to a Wycombe side on Wednesday in the worst possible fashion.
Swansea City : Franco latest 31st Aug 2024 08:00 Swansea City face West Bromwich Albion away at the Hawthorns this afternoon in a traditional 3pm Saturday kick off. It’s a great trip for Swans fans, not that far away by comparison to other away days, and a very large away support will be there.0

Referee Backhouse denies the Swans a point at West Brom31st Aug 2024 17:49 The Swans looked highly unlikely that they wouldn’t get a shot on goal after the first half let alone take a point from this game. They nearly did, but referee Anthony Backhouse turned down a fifty fifty penalty shout in the second half, they’ve been given, and then minutes later a clear penalty after a foul on Eom.0

Why do we seem so slow and unfit, I can accept WBA are a better team, but lack of match fitness looks concerning. You play against a better team and you have a high press, you combat it with high energy and make it uncomfortable for them when they have the ball. I thought LW was the correct choice, and I know it's early days but having grave misgivings.

Vip off for the even newer guy.
His one moment was a weak effort on goal in a decent position early in the 2nd half.
I was keeping a close eye on him vs Wycombe. He’s always on the shoulder asking for the ball in behind but he’ll need to learn very quickly he isn’t getting anything like that in this team.
