Only about 70 away tickets left after four allocations.
 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.

I'm just asking here. Would Matos consider going to a back three of Lissah Welsh and Parente and use Ronald (or Key) and Tymon as wingbacks? Since Cabango is unlikely to be available for Saturday's game, he might want to "experiment" with a new formation. Again, just asking. | | | |

Three matches in eight days will have a massive impact on team selection and substitutions. Two of them at home will make it slightly easier and Derby is not a long trip. |  | | |

We probably try the same as last year using a midfielder to cover as a wing back and use Key as a ch. Until we get someone in on loan at cf. I would take a 1 1 keep it tight in the midfield and hit them on the break with our subs around the 65th min. | | | |

If Ben isn't fit Lissa partnering Welsh and Key at right back with Fulton and Stamenic in front of them |  |

With 3 games in 8 days will Matos alternate Stamenic and Fulton? One starts, one comes on and starts the next game..... | | | |

This will be a similar test to Sheff Utd where Eustace sets his team up to sit back and hit on the counter and set pieces like they did last season, at least Ageymang who tore Cabango to shreds last season is injured for this one.
Prediction - we will have 60% possession, Derby will sit and wait to hit us with balls over the top or into the channels as well as look to capitalise on set pieces. Its not rocket science so hopefully Matos has a plan to counter this and give us more of an attacking edge, Derby will be more than happy to see us going side to side so lets not be too predictable eh! | |

Indeed, and 5 in 15 days is the wider picture, including Watford kicking us to death, Wrectum, Southampton and Burnley. This is going to test the squad! | | | |

If this new guy comes in he could take a bit of pressure off. | | | |

We're three games (if you include Brum) into the season so it's probably a little early to be thinking about rotation, but I'd be looking to make changes for tactical reasons.
Derby have conceded two goals in every game they've played so far this season so we should be trying to create a hell of a lot more than we did last Saturday. Would be disappointed if we play it cagey again.
Keep Fulton at #6 because he's basically our only real option at present. Maybe bring Widell & Walta in for Stamenic and Just. Widell will bring us the same physical attributes as MS and he's more aggressive going forward. |  |

Away from home, pressure off, fresh legs after a weeks break - let’s do something new and go for the throat for once. If we get a two goal cushion make changes on the hour mark with the same intent to keep pushing them back. | | | |

Thats how i see it.
As i said on Saturday, we will play differently as we are away, the pressure is on derby.
If matos can use the squad wisely we can come away with 3pts.
My only concern is that they are a big strong side who will target us in the air, we must have cabango back as I can see us struggling without him.
One positive is the agyemang is out, he was their stand out player in last seasons defeat. |  | | |

Telling the players to shoot when they have a sighting on goal would be a massive plus - running into the box with the ball and carrying from deep - things we don’t normally do but blimmin well should! | | | |

Joe Ward their wing back always seems to play well against us . I think he scored against us last season , will need watching as he supplies a lot of the ammo from the right . | | | |

Not sure how many have been sold but around 2k ? | |

with the season still in its early days if Ben Cobango not 100% fit i would not play him, we have 2 very important games at home next wkand for me get him fit for both of those,
If we are still looking to bring in anyone before the window shuts the only positions i would be looking at is a right back with Key in his last year ( he may go)and if we loan or sell a winger a replacement | | | |

I don’t get to as many away games this last few years, as I’m a carer for my mum & dad who are elderly and have a lot of health issues, but I’m going tomorrow.
My last four away games spanning almost 2 years were Coventry, Oxford, Plymouth & Blackburn (only Blackburn was last season, the others the season before).
We won 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 & 2-1. So I’m going for 2-1 tomorrow 🤣 |  | | |

My sister cared for my father , who was very difficult indeed
It drives me her to a breakdown
Folk don’t realise what’s involved
It’s why I hate the barb “ where’s his carer” | |

Anyone going to take a stab at tomorrows team. It could well be throwing names up in the air and see how they land, but I will start with this 11.
Vigouroux
Lissah Jenson Welsh Tymon
Stamenic Fulton
Opoku Widell Eom
Idah
The only reason I'm going for Stamenic and Fulton is to protect the inexperienced back four. Eustaquio to come on after an hour for one of them. Obviously if Cabango is fit he starts and the line up changes. | | | |
