Lati in for Wolf.
Rudi for Eccles if fit.

Possibly, though reading between the lines I think Derby is more realistic, same for Rudi.

Not a must win. If Wright, Rudoni and Thomas all out wouldn't mind us going pretty compact and direct and see what happens. Next 5 fixtures after this are where we need to attack and go and win promotion imo

Not a must win, but really think we need a point, just because we don't want to go into the international break on the back of two defeats.
I too think we may have to go a bit more defensive. I would think it's highly likely that Wright is out
Be nice if Thomas was back
Hopefully we can bag a point. A win would be really excellent

This is a tricky one given their home form, which is better than ours over the last ten games. I’d take a draw but a win would obviously be nice.
I’d play Simms up front and Lati at the back in place of Kitching. Otherwise, subject to injuries, I’d stick with the same starting lineup as against Southampton.
I predict 1-1.

Shithouse our way to a point
5 at the back
Hopefully Simms as he has done all season steps up with haji being out

Lati and Thomas (Lampard said he should be back for swansea) back in.

another BTA goal from 40 yards would be very nice too.

He didn't, he said maybe Swansea,but more realistically, Derby.

Would love Rudi particularly back for Saturday but Im not hopeful.
Very tough game they have a really good strong striker,so the defence need to be on top form.A draw would be a good result.We can't afford to lose two on the bounce as nerves will set back in as I don't think our run of games are as easy as some people think.Everyone can beat everyone in this league if your not at your best.

Not easy but lets be honest we should have enough to win this if we start well.
Hoping Thomas back with Lati and Ruddy. A few need to get their heads in gear. We were just too passive last game and took a while to wake up. The attitude must be win games as soon as you can before relying on other games and other teams to get you promoted. It's not done yet!

This is a really tough game with all of our injuries. Need Simms to have a good game and likely to get on the scoresheet if we are to win

Their home record has been very good.

But as I said they are not very good, but they are a danger because they have the championships top scorer Vipotnik.
Having the leading scorer but being the only side in the top 15 clubs to have negative GD should give you an idea about their defence. They don't have lots of different players scoring goals.
They have also lost 16 games so far. Sheffield United are the only team in the top 18 that have lost more.
I didn't say it was going to be easy, but it shouldn't be as difficult as many think. Aim for the win, but a draw wouldn't be a disaster.

Tomorrow may be significant.
Wrexham play again and if they were to win that, that would be the final nail in the coffin for Swansea, who would then be 11 points behind 6th place.
Their chances are very slim anyway as it stands, but 11 points would kill any sniff at all right there
That might then affect their morale for our game. Maybe a little beach mode setting in perhaps.

Just don't buy into this sort of stuff any more to be honest.
So many times I've heard in recent years a team is on the beach/depleted with injuries/had less recovery time etc and they've turned us over.
It will be tough regardless, though I'm confident we'll win

Surely Grimes gives us a further edge with his knowledge of how Swansea go about their business at home.

We have more than enough to win this game. They've had a good run at home in the last 10 but have played all the bottom half teams in that time. To go up as champions we should be winning this game, the more they come out at us the easier it will be. Love Eccles but he can't play the 10 role in this game, we looked so much more urgent when BTA and Torp came on against Southampton. If we don't concede we win the game. PUSB.

Cant see us having Haji for this, or Thomas and Rudi, so will be difficult missing 3 of our best. Simms in, Lati in
These are a good side tbf
Score draw

Slightly off topic... but I wonder if the US will call him up if injured, and whether we veto it.

It does happen. I agree though, many times you think a team isn't going to compete and they do. But I have also witnessed a team play and play not like their lives have depended on it.
It's definitely a thing that players can be more motivated or less motivated for games. This is how you get cup upsets and complacency.
On Wednesday it looked like Preston had given up on their season
It can be a factor. Put it this way, if a win for Swansea against us could have them in 6th place, rather than just remaining adrift and in mid-table mediocrity, do you think they would be more or less motivated?
