Swansea v Oxford - Match Preview

Home >Story Index> Swansea v Oxford - Match Preview

Here we go again then folks. Another massive game with a lot at stake for both teams. A win will see us climb six places to 18th, whilst a win for Oxford will see them climb seven places into 3rd. But we all know who needs the points more don't we?

Quite a few changes are expected from the team that drew with Kidderminster last Saturday. Both James Thomas and Leon Hylton are injured, but tonight will see the return to action of Neil Sharp and Jason Smith. It'll be interesting to see who Flynn chooses to partner Nugent up front. With Hylton out injured, there's room for another loan player, so maybe Marc Richards will get the nod.

The form guides show that both ourselves and Oxford have identical records from the last five games and with so much at stake for both clubs, League positions will count for nothing tonight. It's simply going to be a case of who wants it more, so let's make sure it's us!!!

Another bumper crowd is expected tonight and I urge every Swans fan, young and old, to get themselves (and their friends and family) down to the Vetch to cheer the boys on. Although all our relegation rivals play tomorrow, it's vital that we put some daylight between ourselves and the bottom of the table. Let's make everyone else play "catch-up" and really put the pressure on them. After the success of the last two away games, confidence amongst Swans fans is high and everyone is 100% behind the team. Let's hope the players can match our spirit and commitment and take all three points tonight.
