My worry is without Wright I guess Simms starts as striker. This will probably mean that BTA starts on the bench as Simms will need to be subbed. Therefore Eccles plays as 10 again which, although he’s a good player, he’s not a 10.

"Worry"

Simms has played with BTA plenty so not really sure what youre going on about

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??

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.

I think he can but why would Simms need subbing?

Fancy bta to get back amongst the goals

 

[StrettoBoy]

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: 'Nothing much I can say' about fan reaction - Swansea City boss Vitor Matos

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?

Seven so far and he’s been excellent in all his appearances.

Would be a big ask for him especially if Wright is out for more than one match.

 

[shmmeee]

Would be a big ask for him especially if Wright is out for more than one match.

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?

 

[jto123]

Both of them scored v Swansea last season

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.

 

[jto123]

I guess so. All dependent on how long Wright is out for.

More than 1 I think.

All Eyes on Ellis tomorrow.
No hiding place for the Gentle Giant.

He said he would’ve started Simms over Haji on Saturday you melon

Was excellent vs Preston need that kind of performance from him tomorrow.

 

[Matt Grimes' Beard]

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.

 

[SkyBluePower]

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.
