Ore team news below.

That aside there’s no good guessing tonight’s team or news but of course there are guarantees. No doubt the return of Josh Tymon and Ben Cabango (if cleared from a knock which kept him out of the recent Wales games) are expected. And key players such as Ethan Galbraith and Marko Stamenic should feature. We are seeing a relaxed Vitor Matos over the past twenty four hours, especially on the training pitch and the more basic training drills and warm ups continue today, It has all fallen into place for the Swans due to the hard work of Chairman, Tom Gorringe and recruitment specialist, Adam Worth and if course key staff within the club.

It’s been a succesful recruitment for sure, what we want to see quickly is a more effective Swansea City able to turn quick possession into goals. An immediate revival shouldn’t be expected but a difference between Saturdays performance away at Bristol City and tonight is important.

Read our recent reports and information on this transformation from Alan Sheehan to Vitor Matos below.

The many thousands who visit us each day have responded extremely positively as to our work this year, including a successful transfer window in the summer.

The month of December comes around with a few extra fixtures and the end of those six fixtures is a catalyst for some teams. The Swans have issues on the pitch and some are stating off it as well.
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. I’m back with my latest missive from the defiles of dreadful duplicity.’ The cheers of voices were raised. Jack Butty looked around, ‘You lot can pipe down. You’re all gonners and gooners.’ And so, it came to pass…

It all was going so nicely, well for fifteen minutes of the game yesterday at The Hawthorns. The script unfolded as soon as West Bromwich Albion got ahold of the game. A game which ended just the way most expected.
Swans collapse in a disastrous seventy five minutes of football
A brilliant start from Swansea City this afternoon dived into another order from the menu of disastrous football.

Swansea City : The glaringly obvious and Matos agrees
Vitor Matos saw a determined Swansea side for the first half an hour of last nights defeat against Derby County. The Rams made it their third win away from home for the first time in five years. Thereafter we saw a tepid display of poor control and a lack of endeavour which is creeping into the Swans play in recent games.
