Swansea City v Norwich City : The managers, the stats & the hope !

Swansea City take on Norwich City this evening at the Swansea.Com Stadium un dear the lights. There’s nothing like a night game to set the pulse racing as the Swans look to continue their recent good form.

Here are the stats before tonight’s game that matter. We start offs it’s Swansea City’s league table position. It’s getting condensed in the Championship. A win tonight could see a huge rise up thenplacings for the Swans.

Michael Duff looked supremely confident in todays press conference, maybe not so much in his teams chances of winning but overall, he just looks a completely different man to the one we saw just three weeks ago. "We will be looking to deliver the same against a Norwich side who are one of the favourites for promotion, and who have looked good side from what I’ve seen of them this season. They look to try and play a really expansive game. The shape and organisation have been good, some of the football we’ve played has been good, but we know there is a lot of hard work ahead for us as a group if we are to get things to where we want them to be. The reaction we have shown over the last few games has been really good, the players have stuck together, and we have been able to put a platform in place that allows us to go and play good football from.”

Only Ipswich Town on twenty one have scored more goals than tonight’s visitors who have bagged nineteen so far in the Championship this season. However, they are fallible at the back and can look extremely disorganised under pressure. We saw that at Plymouth and when the Canaries lost at Rotherham United. Wagner has said this week. "They (Swansea) changed their shape in two or three games again and it looks at this moment that they have found their form. It's no big secret. We know exactly what we will face. Now we must find the right answers.”
