Some memorable Swans names in that line up plus one Kevin Nugent for Argyle.

⚽️ Sheehan on Plymouth : "They had a very positive result against Norwich City, they went to Watford and got a point. They have had good results, and they beat Liverpool not so long ago in the cup. We have to be aware of that and try and be the best we can be, and you have to be able to do the right thing at the right times in games because some of the goals we have conceded have come more from individual errors as opposed to anything structural”

There seems to be no Swansea City concerns with Alan Sheehan looking at a more attacking role for his team tonight. Michael Obafemi will be involved and Nikola Katic is fit.

⚽️ Star man Nikola Katic : I’m a professional and this club is paying me. I’m part of Argyle until the end of the season, so my job is to give everything. It doesn’t matter what will be in the future - for now my aim is to finish this season in the best possible way, and to try and help the team. In this stage of the season and in the situation that we are in, every win is a massive boost. Especially winning against Norwich, I would say one of the best teams in the league. It was a big step for us in the fight against relegation and we have to build on that in the future games.”

Swansea City : Jack Butty sails again with his cannons primed
The vultures were circling overhead. The bleached bones of the dead lay all around. Wait…a movement…a moving hand. A hen peckered face turns to the light and screams out, ‘Jack Butty here.
