Consiracy No 1................. Wright ain't as injured as said but we told Poch he is, gives him 2 weeks off to get fit, come back in for the run-in, performs well and still gets in the National side for the WC. We give him a bonus for staying and everyone wins??
They both scored in this fixture last season.
i’m sure pochettino would be thrilled with that
We’re better with Eccles in the 10 than BTA
Also whether Simms starts or not wouldn’t have any bearing on BTA starting
There’s 0 chance Wright would voluntarily skip the final international break before a home World Cup
Another 40 yard volley from BTA would be the cherry on the icing.
I was thinking about this the other day, BTA hasn’t really scored any long range bangers this season has he?
Maybe Sheff W? I can’t really recall if that was outside the box or not - nonetheless, it was a great finish.
Scored that long range volley against Blackburn
It’s a bit of a blow if Thomas, Rudi and Wright are all out because that’s pretty much the spine of the team. It will be important for FTT and Grimes to play well but, as they are among our most consistent players, I’m sure they will.
I think it will be a score draw.

Matt Grimes makes a first return to Swansea City this weekend with Vitor Matos insisting it is not his place to decide how home fans will respond to their long-time club captain.

Can’t see Frank switching to a back 5. Simms has to start. I thought he should have kept his place on Saturday after a great performance against Preston. Torp for Eccles. Thomas to start if he’s anything over 80% fit.
What's the usual recovery time for that?
Onyeka has played 3 games for us
Seven so far and he’s been excellent in all his appearances.
Why though? He’s played 90 mins before, there’s no indication he can’t do it. He did it two games ago fo example.
We have 2 weeks until the next game. I'm sure he'll survive.
We're going full on Spain, 2012 World cup.
Not only are we going to piss the league, we're going to do it without a striker.
Didn’t we have some posters suggesting for Thomas to be used as a centre forward this year?
Yeah I know, but that’s slightly separate to what I’m saying. My basic point is I don’t really like Eccles in the 10.
Was excellent vs Preston need that kind of performance from him tomorrow.
Swansea's home form is good and this wont be an easy game but they have typically not performed well against the teams sitting above them.
They have failed to beat any team currently in the top 6 and whilst they have managed to get a point each out of Hull, Milwall and Southampton, these all came in the early stages of the season and since November, they have racked up losses to Ipswich twice (no shame in that though), Milwall, Hull and of course, us.
In fact, their form against the top 10 is not great having only managed wins against Wrexham and Watford. They are tricky to beat but their hunting ground is deffinately the teams in the relegation race having done the doubles over Blackburn, Pompey, Oxford and Sheff Weds.

Will from CWR just tweeted that Thomas AND Rudoni are 50/50 for tomorrow which is a bit more promising .Lampard also hoping to have Wright ready for Derby too.
