Swans smash the Rams and it could have been a lot more ! 29th Aug 2026 16:12Swansea City ran out easy winners this afternoon with a very competent display throughout the side. You have to be honest it could have been six as chances went begging in the second half but 0-3 away at Derby ? Yes we will all take that. 1 Swansea City: Lawrence Vigouroux; Josh Key, Filip Lissah, Stephen Welsh, Josh Tymon; Jay Fulton (captain), Marko Stamenic, Melker Widell; Joseph Opoku, Jisung Eom, Adam Idah. Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Jenson Seelt, Elijah Just, Zan Vipotnik, Tiago Parente, Ronald, Stephen Eustaquio, Moussa Yeo, Carter Heywood.

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 11:20 - Aug 29 by Dr_Winston | Just one shot on target all game last week so naturally Walta isn't even on the bench. Getting strong Steve Cooper vibes from Matos so far this season. We might be competitive, but it's probably going to be dull. |
It was credited as a shot on target, but a glancing header from Vipi that may even have been a flick on to the back post as much as a shot. |  | |  |

I can’t believe Walta isn’t featured. And I’m very much in the majority. He is surely injured ? |  |

It would be the only explanation that would make any sense. |  |

Ronald in ahead of Walta 🤷🏻♂️ No Ross Stewart. |  |

Tuesday v Watford will be interesting. Of course that’s nigh on the end of the window. It’s subtle but Walta is being talked about as leaving. If that’s right my support for Matos will diminish somewhat. It’s a case of the next three days revealing quite a lot. |  |

It's the same situation as Cooper and Celina. In appearance the most naturally creative and fun to watch midfielder in the squad by some distance, yet apparently not wanted. |  |

What has Matos seen in the last few weeks that he didn't see in the season? Was the purchase of Walta manditory? If so then clearly he isn't a Matos player. But it would be a first for me a player bought and sold in the same window. Surely it couldn't happen? |  | |  |

Yes was mandatory as part of the original loan agreement. |  | |  |

Two regular centre backs missing against a team who like to pump the ball into the box. |  |

Matos joined us in Nov 2025. Walta signed in the following window. VM would have known of and been consulted on his signing. IF Walta is not injured It's piss poor man management and a concern going forward. |  |

Matos needs to be questioned about what is going on with Walta in the next pre match press conference. |  | |  |

Last week most of the dangerous balls into our box came from Tymon’s side of the pitch,showing Lissah was doing a good defensive fullback job ,when he went into the middle more balls came in from the right because Key was losing his man by going too far forward or into the middle I hope he proves me wrong today , live in hope but can’t see it happening unfortunately , Lissah should be the RB ,Seelt comes in with a reputation for being good in the air , if he’s not good enough to start,why sign him Derby have 1 point and are at home and will be desperate for the win , we should be making it harder for them not giving them hope Also Walta not even in the squad before Ronald ,what’s that all about , is Ronald the new Cullen !!! I hope Matos isn’t turning into a stubborn git like Russy COYS |  | |  |

Only one shot on target so far though. |  |
