If the positions were reversed I'm sure we would (homing in on autos, that is) No doubt that would make some fans angry mad but can see both sides of the argument. Way I would see it, not much chance at city even at full strength... They are garbage. Losing 3-0 to some team or other right now. Some blokes called Sterling, Walker and Jesus have scored.

Southsea Owl Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hopefully we will keep our run of: WWL WWL going that will keep us safe with some decent points at the end of the season. It then doesn’t matter who we lose to every 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 2 points is most we can reasonably expect, but that would be fine. Win one lose one even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the weather goes wild it’ll be on. Flippin tough game. Hourihane and Ayew a class above a championship level. Need to cut out all those 20 yard free-kicks too. They’ll use them. Watching the FA cup match yesterday makes me nervous for Saturday. Swansea are a good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If we're committed, organised and get stuck in I'd fancy us getting something out of the game. Especially as the pitch may do us a favour. If we don't I can see milwall over again and we'll get rolled over by them. A point would be good and carry the unbeaten run on which is great for confidence and will do us a world of good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 We are Sheffield Wednesday and this is Hillsborough. If Swansea win, it’s because everyone of their players will be battered, bruised and bloodied. They are XI blokes and they are gonna get the fight of their lives. 2-1 Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that defensive set up will start from the front with strikers closing down their defenders with the ball, so fully expect either Windass or cowabunga to start and to work their nuts off for the first 60 minutes then be subbed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then bring Rhodes and Patterson on when legs get tired on what will highly likely be a very heavy energy sapping pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also beginning to click now, so I'd try to capitalise on that upturn in form, but I'll agree that hopefully we'll get ourselves In a position to rest one or both before the end of the game.

While I agree, attack is also the best form of defence and we are at home and have BATTERED the last FIVE teams to show up. I think Patto and Kowerbunga for 60 mins and then a straight swap for Rhodes and Windass. The rest of the team stays the same for me. If we can brake with speed, Swansea won’t have as many defenders back as Wycombe. A quality ball in the box and bingo. Either way, we need to set up to score goals and trust our defenders to defend. We need to make sure we don’t get the same overloads, on the break after our corners. Swansea would have scored from one or two of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think Thompson will play him there just for his energy levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
