Fab Eyes Up First Away Win
Lukasz Fabianski will take his place against Southampton this afternoon eyeing up a first away win of the season for the Swans at the fourth attempt, five if you count the midweek defeat at Hull.
We have drawn two and lost one of our three away league games to date this season and Fabianski and his team mates will want to improve on that record especially on the back of three games without a win and not a goal in the process.
Last week's 0-0 draw at home to Everton was the second clean sheet for the big Pole this season in the league and he will be looking to repeat the heroics of him and his defence back in February when we upset the Saints with a 1-0 win.
Another result like that today will go down extremely well and set the Swans up nicely for what looks like a tough final test of this mini window against Spurs next weekend.
"It will be a tough away game against a really tough team," Fabianski told the club's official website. "But we have shown already this season and in the one before, that we can compete against anyone and it doesn't matter if it's away from home.
"We are just a team who are tough to play against and I think we are well respected. Teams know it is hard to play against us, we play good football and we get results as well."

Swansea City : On the cusp in a very good way ! Two players who have come to Swansea City in the last two seasons from London clubs have earned a position on the clubs retained list this weekend. Both are considered exceptional talents by the Swans academy, and their dream remains alive to become full professional players in the first team squad.
Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai ! As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.
Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.
Swansea City : Where are the Swans today on all their player business ? Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.
Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
