JDS in for Bids - love to see a developing JDS, Wright partnership developing on the left.

Sheaf in for either Josh or Lats (either would be very unlucky to be left out though)

Kitching - red card overturned and he starts,

Palmer on earlier this time around (looks in form)

Simms in for Godden

Also would be tempted to start Dasilva. Bidwell been largely excellent since coming back in but last couple of matches I’ve seen (didn’t see Sunderland) he’s not quite been as effective. May need a break.

Simms back in. Godden just didn’t do anything yesterday.

Hopefully Kitching red overturned. If not, Binks in.

Midfield an interesting one. Not seen much of Swansea this year and don’t know whether they’re still a “pass you to death” type. If so, Eccles, Allen and O’Hare (assuming no Sheaf). Need to be able to break at speed.

Swansea are a bit of a bogey team for us, and with them just coming off the back of a hammering at Southampton I think this will be a draw.

He opens doors but leaves us so open and doesn’t have positional sense

Our awful record against Swansea shouldn't really be a factor, but it's weird how's these things seem to repeat themselves. Win would be massive.

It's a weird thing how a completely different group of players seem to assume that record

We're 3rd inthe 6 game form table, Swansea 12th, though form never seems to matter when we play them.

Taking the Cardiff supporting Mrs T for this one. She’ll be cheering us on against “the Jack bastards” louder than most.

We’re bound to draw/lose. Should be a win though.

Bids was surprisingly off yesterday, but he has been so good lately dropping would be harsh. I agree with the rest.

When Robins did it, I did wonder if a front three of Palmer, Wright and Sakamoto might be a quite tricksy for many Championship defences and worth another go

Sheaf back in hopefully, Simms in for Godden and Binks in for Kitching. Maybe start Allen for O’Hare depending on fitness.

If we put in an appeal on time for the Kitching red card he should be able to play this game. I suppose it comes down to any evidence we have found. If he plays I expect a win. We would have too much for them. 2-0 or better. Without Kitching it would be a total guess on the side. Would still go for the win but not with confidence.

Bidwell has been great but like you say wasn’t at his best yesterday. Most worrying for me was that he looked quite slow when trying to get back in position. First time I’ve really noticed that.

Id revert to the Sunderland line up if possible.

Godden is woeful as the one upfront, time for him to be phased out like Mcfadzean has been.

I don't understand the clamour for JDS either, bidwell is solid and allows Wright to push on more.

I like to read what the opposition supporters say about the game. Gives you a different viewpoint from the game. These days it is all about Sakamoto. The most common comments are he takes the piss out of their players, the difference between the two teams and he should be playing at a higher level. We're so lucky to have found a gem for not much of an outlay. Those who laugh at 'the little Japanese man' as he walks on the pitch soon change their mind.

If we don't get promoted this season or next I can't see us keeping him any longer.

Sheaf in for Lati I hope. Lati did a decent enough job, but obviously not as good at playing the ball forwards.

Hopefully Kitchin can start.

Simms in for Godden.

He’ll need to maintain his form for a while yet to get that level of interest but he has already got double Simms’ goal tally and is only getting better.

Binks over Fadz for me too but part of me thinks Lati wouldn’t wanna miss this one against his old club and would be right up for it.

He played LCB most games before we signed Kitching and then decided to start playing Binks all of a sudden lol

Wow , we’re talking about class changes in our team , instead of worrying about their drop in quality & a definite struggle/defeat .
We’ve come a long way , in a short time & Swansea won’t be looking forward to meeting whatever team Robins puts out
3-0 city

Think rotation is key with the games coming thick and fast. I’m not a fan of Dasilva but I would bring him in for Bidwell so that he’s fully fit for Middlesbrough away. Assuming we lose the appeal on Kitching’s red card I’d go with
Collins
MVE Thomas Binks Dasilva
Lati Sheaf
Sakamoto O’Hare Palmer
Wright

let’s see what Palmer can do from the start in a wider position.

MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell
Latibeaudiere O’Hare Eccles
Sakamoto Wright Palmer

Changes on 65 minutes as scripted.

4-1 to us.

Agree with this but in reality it all comes down to fitness. Thomas and Wright for example have played a lot and may need a rest.
