Match Officials,
There will be a referee, and two other chaps there with flags, another chap will be there but not on the pitch, well, sort of not on it but he will be.
Referee SIMON HOOPER
Flag blokes Daniel Robathan and Derek Eaton
Bloke everyone shouts at called the Fourth Official : Lee Swabey,
Hoppy hasn’t reffed a swans game this season, he will be easily spotted as he has a John Hartson haircut.

The last time the sides met was on the 7th March 2020. The game ended in a 0-0 draw. It was Swansea who threatened first as defender Joe Rodon saw a header blocked after rising high to meet a Conor Gallagher free-kick, while Andre Ayew could not divert Rhian Brewster's drive goal-wards. Albion were probing at the other end, but the team who began the day as the division's leading scorers struggled to open Swansea up.
Freddie Woodman was forced into action just once before the break, the on-loan Newcastle goalkeeper diving to his left to save Callum Robinson's shot after Swansea had given the ball away on the edge of their own box. The breakthrough might have come seconds after the restart as Matt Grimes' drive was parried by Albion keeper Sam Johnstone and Jay Fulton sliced the rebound over the bar.
A low Grimes free-kick saw Fulton send another effort over the top before Romaine Sawyers' deflected long-ranger whistled over Woodman's goal. Ayew then saw an overhead kick drift too high before Albion skipper Jake Livermore shot wastefully off target in the dying minutes.

Plenty of positives in that first half, we need to negate their extremely effective defensive high line because on numerous occasions the pace of the pitch has beaten us, not their ability to nullify our game plan,
Ntcham could make a big difference, but their relentless fouling could go against them with three bookings already. |
Total dog team, but we aren’t advanced in our development enough to break it down as they are bloody good at it and squeezing us to death. I think we’ll find a way through to create a few things - if we get Smith off and ntcham, Walsh or Whittaker on - but whether we’ll take a chance they’ll catch us cold again is another thing. Their game is to feed on mistakes, and we’ll make another couple for sure. |  |

I’m thinking they’ll see a red card second half.
We look all over the place at back though, always been a big Cabango fan but him and naughts look all over the place positionally. |
It is simply because Kyle Naughton is Not a centre half.
Cabango and Bennett are not full backs.
Its pretty basic stuff really.
Their goal was simply a giveaway within the first minute.
Game mentality an issue for me ,frankly. | |

Nothing like a positive reaction to a very even first half. |  |

Might be something to do with the fact that they are not in the correct positions. |

This 2nd half is the type of football I’ve been waiting to see
We’ve adapted to opposition, still an emphasis on quick passing football but some short and some long
Whether we win this game or not, get in the playoffs or not for me this is an Improvemnt on last season massively | |
