Tonight’s results are a hell of a pick up for us after the disappointment of losing in injury time.
West Ham and Cardiff will both be deflated by that.
Middlesbrough beaten by an also ran.
If Bristol City can hang on for a draw with Wolves, tonight limits the damage and will probably raise a few spirits around the club.
Edit - bollocks
Still a great set of results [Post edited 4 Nov 21:50]

Could go top on Saturday. Could be 8th. It's tight at the top! With Sky due to announce their next batch of live games on Friday, we should get more prime spots and more TV cash. [Post edited 4 Nov 23:26]

Only a fool would put serious money on us to win Saturday. But this is Swansea City. |  |

This is football with 5 substitutions remember the days where one sub could change a game, does seem a case of keep things tight stay in games and let your superior squad shine through. Lots of injuries as well. | | | |

Or we could just kill the opposition off by halftime as we did on Saturday. | | | |

I agree but that doesn't seem to be Matos preferred option even with the ever growing injury list.
Given we seem to be struggling pursuit to find a left wing, could we play Parente in front of Manning similar to what Steve Cooper did by having Bidwell in front of Manning? You would always want Tymon to be coming onto the ball and making the runs similar to Manning, Bidwell was stronger on the ball higher up the pitch so we didn't get muscled off the ball in the midfield and he also covered Mannings runs.
Under Martin, Bidwell was gone very quickly and Ollie Cooper swapped from playing higher up the pitch, working well of Piroe, to dropping deeper to cover Manning.
Given that under Cooper the pace in the team was a young Jamal Lowe but he was swapped for Bidwell to make us defensively solid and given Andre Ayew was our solo forward we lacked pace up top or support from the midfield, Grimes,Fulton and Hourihane.
I liked what I saw of Parente, could he actually take a fullback on from a standing position which we haven't seen from Tymon? Given that Idah and Stewart seem to have a bit more pace than Vipotnik would they benefit from some one being able to deliver balls quickly, a leftfooter in behind the defence or a slower build up so Vipotnik can score goals from open play providing the team shape is settled?

I would just play Opoku on the left and Just or possibly Key on the right. Then tinker with it on 60 minutes depending on where we are, possibly Monga having a run out if it's not still tight. | | | |

Exactly. We are struggling to find a left wing but we won't even try Monga. He has sat on more benches than Ron Davies on Clapham Common! Let's give him 30 minutes to see what he can do. | | | |

The longer he is ignored (Monga) the more it will affect him when he gets his chance. |  |
