Swansea City : Matos plans ahead with a potential new right back selection

Swans win away again : The story behind the game, Key blow & Matos elated
It was a hard fought game yesterday against Lincoln City, they came out of it with a lot of credit. It isn’t the type of football that will earn them recognition from the purists, and it won’t see them gain promotion, but it’s what they do and they do it well.
Swans win ugly and stand the test long ball football

Lincoln City v Swansea City : There will be no fear
A voice was ringing in my ears. “Chuffin’ Nora, worra we got ‘ere?” Stranded, I could see I was at a busy port. “Where am I, matey?” I asked. The docker smiled, “You’re in ‘Ull me ole duck.” He pointed me towards the nearest tavern, the White Swan. A short time later I was supping a pint of Old McBurnie bitter. I smiled to myself; one minute I’m in the Med and the next in Hull. Where next?

Swans v Clarets : Both managers face harsh decisions TEAM NEWS
Swansea City will take on a beleaguered Burnley side this afternoon at 3pm with tickets in the south stand still available for home fans. When we say beleaguered that is no slight against them as a club, but their league (get it) position is not a healthy one.
Swansea City : Matos explains the Jeremy Monga situation
Jeremy Monga’s absence from the Swansea City side has inevitably raised a few eyebrows, but Vítor Matos has offered some insight into his thinking as the highly-rated seventeen year-old waits for his opportunity. And yes his International clearance did take a good few days.

The Championship opened up a little bit this week with new leaders and contenders itching to get above the Swans if they slip up against Burnley. In fact a whole load of sides are ready to sink early Swans fans hopes this weekend.
The Final Word On The Indy : Saints v Swans, analysis & what went wrong
Our unbeaten streak comes to an end, and unfortunately it comes with a performance that isn't good enough for the top end of this league. Many expect us to at least finish in the top eight this season, but I, and many other Jacks, have been wondering if something bigger than that is possible... but not with performances like this.
First defeat of the season : Swans collapse and were never really in the game
It wasn’t a good watch, but then not every game the Swans play will be, and there will be more this season. What is extremely annoying is the clueless way this side collapsed in wave after wave of Southampton attacks, many of which were caused again by silly mistakes and a lack of competency on the ball.

Southampton v Swansea City : There’s history there & similarities
Southampton and Swansea, the Saints and the Swans. We share quite a few traits. Both share a location as the centre of their countries' southern coast, both cities have around 250k inhabitants, and indeed both became cities in the 60s. We have beautiful nature surrounding our urban centres (the tree on Southampton's badge is a nod to the New Forest), and, as one-club cities, we share a fierce rivalry with a club that play in blue, a short drive to the east.
Saints v Swans : The weaknesses the visitors can expose
There are easier places to go on a Tuesday night than St Mary’s, but Swansea City should make this trip with confidence rather than trepidation. Southampton might have one of the strongest squads in the Championship, and they have certainly shown they can score goals, but their opening weeks have also shown us something else.
Swans in waiting game for Jeremy Monga to make his debut
Swansea City remain in a waiting game over Jeremy Monga, with the 17-year-old unable to make his debut until the necessary FIFA clearance is received. The highly-rated winger joined the Swans on loan from Manchester City for the remainder of the season, and importantly, there is no suggestion that Swansea failed to complete the transfer in time.

It’s the penultimate game of this weekends fixtures in the EFL Championship. For us every Swansea City game is huge, but this is nowhere as big as the real Welsh derby, in fact as we have already reported this week. It isn’t a derby at all. But Sky Sports and Kieffer Moore will tell you differently.
Eom, the Asian Games will dictate his immediate future at Swansea City
There is considerably more riding on Eom Ji-sung’s trip to the Asian Games than simply representing South Korea in another international tournament.

Swansea City : The summer of recognition. Every player that matters examined
It’s been an exciting summer for all Swansea fans. Last year most fans agreed we had a great window, but by most metrics we have exceeded it this summer. We have already started the season with three wins in four, a squad that feels electric and a manager everyone seems to love, but somehow we keep improving things in the transfer market up until the very last day. It has been such a busy summer, it is not easy to keep up with all the ins- and outgoings, but you’ve got us here to help.
