Ha..

Kingsley missed 75% of last season with Hull because of injury.

If we're so worried about Govea's injury record it'd be nice if we go for a more fit one.


Kingsley had a hernia op which got infected.

I don't think Celina will start, I think Routledge will start behind McBurnie, but agree with your starting XI besides Celina. Come on the Swans!!


Please not Routs. if Celina is fit play him. As Jordan transfer is off I wonder if he'll have a place on the bench. Shame Nmecha deal hasn't happened as we have no cover or plan B if McBurnie struggles. See Utd just sighed another City starlet and refused to consider selling their big CB for £8m.

Just noticed this on Twitter. Hopefully something we can support.

would it be possible for you to announce a couple of minutes applause for Timmy, on the 43rd minute. He sadly lost his life over the weekend. Hopefully Swans partake aswell

Question marks on Ayew, Fernandez, Clucas, Bony

Dyer
Routledge
Fer

Narsingh

Looking at it.. if Bony and Ayew are off.. we need a Defensive Midfielder and Striker..

Looking at it all though.. I'd take mid table, because I don't believe "depth" wise we're good enough, especially with a new manager.

That's the starting 11 I'm expecting, with maybe Dhanda in for Celina to start if Potter thinks he's not tactically up to speed yet.

This tactically up to speed nonsense is horse crap.. in football talk, it's up there with "down the channels" & all the cliche football b*llocks.

Celina is a creative midfielder.. he'll be given a free role in a 3 probably.

By even saying creative instead of attacking makes me feel like I'm in the presence of a noise with a chalk board.

Yeah, you're not going to see Celina doing much in defensive duties. Apparently he got hung out to dry by McCarthy last season for his lack of defensive work, so sat it out on the bench a fair few times. He needs to be sniffing around the hole *snigger* infront of the defence.

Tactics aren't just for defensive work. It helps to know who your teammates are, what runs they make etc. and for them to know what to expect of you.

I think Celina is more likely to start but he's only had a couple of sessions with the team, so you could understand if Potter goes for someone else.

-----------------Nordvelt-----------
Roberts------FF------VDH------Ollson
------------Amat-------Caroll---------
Asoro----------Celina-----------Montero
----------------Mcburnie----------------

Subs: Mulder, Naughton, Rodon, Fulton, Routledge, Dhanda, Mackay

I would go with this formation. not sure if we should use any of the new signings. so either Celina or Dhanda would be ok.

I would prefer Amat to go CDM role to help with our defensiveness and small passing to caroll/wingers. Don't really have any strikers at the moment so if we need to change... can put Asoro upfront and put a winger on. Hopefully Olsson starts.


I know Amat has played there before. Sheffield are a decent set up. I may go with Fulton who is on your bench.

Roberts Amat VDH Fernandez Olsson
Dyer Carroll Fulton Routledge
McBurnie

Naughton is in if he is injury free. It is a long season and if Naughts is staying we will need him. He may be keen to play his old club.

Dyer was training so assume he is fit.

Will take a draw ...any thing else a bonus.

A heavy loss and the voodoo pinochio dolls will be out.

Not seen enough of new signings to warrant a straight start and Amat needs a start as he is a good player.

Not necessarily. If the wing backs are pushed forward it could be a very offensive formation.

remember being up their on our last visit (I think), Britton played? Ched Evans scored their goal? and I was shivering behind the goal, think loads of fans didn't make it through the snow that day.

I think we'll play a basic 4-3-3..We can't really play with 2 strikers as we don't have any other than Ollie atm.

Aah, the ol' schoolyard tactic of a back-in-hand-goalie approach. Very bold that

..."who will guard the guards..?"

I thought VDH did well at RB in EPL. Amat was also mobile for his size and plays well with FF. Line up with back 3 is cautious and is also likely wrong.

McBurnie is better in the air than Abraham or Ayew so having a couple of wingers and wing backs should give him good service. Fulton is no slouch in the air either.

No GK. The old ones are the best.

I believe we have a couple of duds in Narsingh and Montero who I would love to prove me wrong. They dont deserve a start yet imo.

We had drifted so far away from what we know and love that it's going to take quite some time to re-establish a passing, possession and attacking style. I'll settle for just some signs of its return - we (fans, board, yanks, players etc. etc.) need patience so if/when we stumble let's go easy on GP eh.

Many thanks to the OP for always providing so much excellent information - lost count of the amount of times it has been helpful especially on away games etc..
