Back in, slightly...if we can gain one point on them in the next three games it makes it all to play for at the end and they have Norwich.

On Twitter apparently Dellor is now jumping on the "lets discount the first 8 games" bandwagon and saying Bowen has an identical record just about. Well, how about discounting Bowen's 4 wins at Christmas - we' d have been in relegation trouble without those 12 points.

Sutekh Sean Morrison has failed to recover sufficiently and will miss the game tomorrow as will long term absentee Lee Tomlin.

Tomlin must be one of the few players in the league who's injured more than Swift

Swansea’s last 6 games last season was largely against poor to indifferent sides with nothing to play for aside from a home game with Leeds (which Swansea lost) and a trip to an out of form Forest (drawn) the key there was the pure cr@pness of both Reading and Forest on the final day. Reading’s rem...

Mid table at best under Bowen this season, but never in any danger of going down.

He moaned the other week about not having Joao much but he had more squad options, far less injuries and also Meite and Swift for considerably more game time

And the football wasn't great

I fear a defeat here and season over, similar to the Boro game recently, we just don't cope with these type of sides like the other top sides have been able to. Seen some of their games on Sky since McCarthy took over and they are 1980's style direct, like Dave Basset and Howard Wilkinson's sides ba...

Best case scenario is winning 4 out of 5 but even then Barnsley would only need 8 points and Bournemouth 7 - with Barnsley's run in its game over

Mid Sussex Royal Its taken Don Goodman 3 mins to mention that we are the most vulnerable side chasing the playoffs in the Swansea game

Well he`s not wrong is he?

No - but its clear he has a problem with us...he's just gone on about sides spending the most money and squad size, sounded like a dig at us

Its taken Don Goodman 3 mins to mention that we are the most vulnerable side chasing the playoffs in the Swansea game

Re Prince Phillip -

Quiet music on radio stations now - no talking - so royal protocol in place.

Could be off I reckon?

I just hope this isn't a repeat of the Brentford game where we play really well and with such an intensity, but ultimately come up short and then the fall out of which sees our form drop. If we're going to lose I'd rather we just did it at a canter. Bigger more winnable and season defining games co...

Dick Habbin's hairdo HRH Duke of Edinburgh has croaked. Might that mean that this evening's match is off?

I'm sure the Queen Mother died the morning of the 3-3 draw at Bristol C when we got promoted under Pardew

I uploaded clips from 91/92 and 92/93 here, with a playlist rather than 1 video for a season. Bit beyond me that! Also put together playlists from seasons prior to that for clips already uploaded by other users. https://www.youtube.com/user/shinpadruss/playlists Great to see Les Chappell scoring at...

Well that's the top two sorted. Brentford only 4 points ahead, but with a game in hand. you would expect them to have enough to seal a play-off place. Would say it's looking like all 4 spots could be up for grabs. Brentford now 1 win in 6 with 4 straight draws. Only 2 goals in open play in that tim...

5 days to prepare for Watford....anybody else think we can get a result? Particularly if Swift is fit and Joao's confidence is restored? Consistency and performances against gritty hard working teams has been our problem, but we have the ability to match Watford. Cardiff are gone now. 2 from 4; Swa...

Cardiff 3 down to Sheffield - that's them done with if they lose

Barnsley and Bournemouth both win Swansea lost at home to Preston so that means Reading are now 3 points behind the Welshmen though Swansea have a game in hand (which is a trip to Sheffield Wednesday) and still have to come to the Mad Stad. Swansea go to Millwall on Saturday. Yes - Swansea just 4 p...

Would be interesting to see where we'd come out in an average league position table this century...I'd estimate around 25th to 30th, we'd probably be ahead of Leeds, Brighton and Sheff U currently in the prem, but there's a few sides out there that had quite a few years up there such as Bolton, Char...
