Apparently we dont have any injury problems, but question marks have to be asked about the match fitness of Clark, Okore and Gabby. We play our best football on the deck and need to stop trying to supply Gestede with crosses as it becomes the only gameplan whilst he's on the pitch, and I'm pretty sure Ayew would be able to get on the end of a cross if the quality of the ball is good enough and into the right area. We also need to protect the back four and be string in midfield whilst carrying a genuine threat with pace going forward...


                  Bunn

Hutton   Richards   Clark   Amavi

                Sanchez
    Veretout             Gueye

                 Grealish

         Traore           Ayew


Okore - bring on for Clark
Westwood - bring on for Sanchez/Veretout
Gil - bring on for Grealish

That is the line up I would go with as well to a man.It makes sense.And that is why Sherwood will come up with something that resembles a Heath Robinson invention!
yes, from me.

Outside chance, I know, but does anyone know if this game is being shown in Nepal? I've had a look online and can't see anything, my Wifi isn't strong enough to stream.

I have no doubt the team today will include Guzan, Lescott, Richardson, Westwood and Gabby. Good luck breaking the losing streak with that as 5 of the 11. We need to win desperately but I believe Swansea will simply pass all around us and keep the ball better. It won't shock me at all to see them stop their poor run at our expense.
