Team for Swansea

[PEARCEY]

USA
Rosenior, bikey, pearce, armstrong
Kebe, harps, karacan, shunt
doyle, nhunt

bench: fed, ingi, bryn, convey, long

i would like to see henry and mooney on the bench at least but cant see coppell changing the team that much. also i cant see convey and long being dropped for those two
bryn in for harps might work but coppell is loyal to harps so his place is pretty safe

Think there is a very good chance this will be the 16. Certainly dont expect any changes to the starting 11 from our past couple of games especially as only Bikey wasn't rested against Stoke and he has to start on Saturday

[Ian Royal]

I'd say Harper and Karacan are potentially our best pairing. But thats just because I wonder if we really have a proper quality pairing. The only other real options for me are Harper & Matejovsky and Matejovski & Karacan.

I don't rate Cisse as a midfielder, Gunnarsson is getting past it, whilst he still maybe good for the odd game and substitute match turning performances I can't see him having the legs to pay consistently or for a full match. Not sure how he got on against Stoke, I've only seen the pens. Bikey is clearly much more important in defence.

Personally I'd perservere with both Pearce and Karacan, because they're only likely to get better, even if they do have some games where they are a bit anonymous or make costly errors.

So as mentioned before I'd stick with:

Hahnemann
Rosenior, Bikey, Pearce, Armstrong
Kebe, Harper, Karacan, SHunt
Doyle, NHunt.

But I'd like to see a bench more like this:

Fed, Ivar, Gunnarsson, Henry, Mooney/Long. Maybe Convey in for one of Ivar or Gunnarsson.

Does anyone know the latest on Murty and Marek's injuries?

sub federici gunnarson mooney convey kelly

kelly waste of space i no he is young but he is not ready yet

[silas]

I would keep the same 11 as Watford but would change the bench. Federici obviously, Gunnarsson to cover defence and midfield allowing Convey, Henry and Mooney. In Championship winning season our bench was regularly Gunnarsson, 2 wingers and a striker.

Coppell is far to conservative with his subs, could understand 2 defenders last season when we are trying not to lose games but not anymore. Its just crazy.

'greed

But from what I have seen of Kelly he seems pretty decent.

[Deathy]

Unchanged from the Wednesday game.

But i'd like Henry on the bench or better still, starting ahead of Bambi.

[Maguire]

Home, so same first team as against Sheff Weds.

If it was away, I'd be seriously considering playing Coppell over Kebe.

I think Coppell's best days are behind him to be honest mate.

Same team as v Wednesday.

We seem to have the same mentality this season from SC, comments have dropped a bit, probably due to the goals flowing at home, I find the comments from those that travel much more revealing so far this season.

Sounds like there is still a bit of disappointment among the players, some are taking it better than others.

[Archie's penalty]

I think there's life in the ol' dog yet. He has brought in Karacan and Pearce and is blooding Kelly and Henry. Plus the signings of Nhunt and Armstrong have been class so far. Don't write Copps off yet. (Although I do agree he needs to be a bit more proactive with his team selection).

I think a whooosh is in order for that post.

There hasn't been a whoosh on here for ages. I think I've forgotten what it means. Does it mean I missed the point? If so, how?

Given Pardew`s admission a few weeks ago that Swansea gave his team the runaround, I expect to see a contrast in styles on Saturday.
Coppell is expected to name an unchanged team from last week so I think the defence will play high up the pitch, with a narrow midfield in an attempt to get close to the opposition and break up their passing game.
Shame really, I wish it was the other way round.

[holsgrove breaks a leg]

If im honest i think Gunna has seen his best days past him now, i think even in a majority of the games in the championship now.Doesnt anyone remember his shocking performances early last season (Portsmouth 7-4 and others) where his turning circle made wally downes look athletic.... However Coppell does seem to endure his performances which is irritating, the same goes for ingi.Harper and Karacan for now,its looked ok to me though when marek comes back jem will be back on the bench.Keep Kebe in, he will produce the goods on sat!Bikey and Pearce at the back.

[West Stand Man]

Kebe was good at Watford. HTH.

LOL!

You, sir, are a plonker.

Hope that helps

[Scarface]

I'd like to see Henry in for Kebe and Bryn for Harper, but it will be the same team that beat Sheff Wed.

[Hampshire Royal]

What??? The same team that beat Sheff Wed 6-0?????

Coppell out.

[Archie's penalty]

Coppell out.

Touche sir - touche...

How depressing that a team just releagted from the Premiership are worried about getting outpassed by a team just promoted from League 1.

[hughsies no.1]

i understand all this love for henry with his two goals and kissing the badge etc but no way should he be starting infront of kebe. against watford he was our main threat and at home he really excells. henry will get his chance, no doubt atall he should be on the bench but no way should kebe be droppeed!!!!
