Kick off tonight at some random time like 7.40pm. I was going to fork out a tenner to stream it through ifollow as it's not on Sky Sports red button then I realised it's on a proper channel - 'Sky Sports Arena' which is apparently what they call 'Sky Sports Boxing' when there is no boxing to show.
We are up against one of the best teams in Wales tonight so I hope we come out fighting and are not punching above our weight. If we can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee then we have a good chance of hitting the back of the net and dealing Swansea a knockout blow.
Let's get ready to rumble....

A few changes tonight. Players are having to be rotated due to the amount of games this month.  |

Lucky to be only 1-0 down. Fingers crossed it will a 'game of two halves' and we will be on top in the second half.
Michael O'Neill needs to earn his money with his half time team talk. Surely we must be able to do better in the next forty-five minutes.

Oh well, shit happens and that was shit.
The only moment of excitement from a Stoke point of view was successfully defending that free kick for Gunn's backpass handball.
Still too early in the season to be second in the league. 9th place is fine. No relegation fears and no silly thoughts of promotion leading to crushing disappointment.

All things considered, away at Swansea was never going to be easy. Glad Oakley booth got into it a bit more second half, he could well be what we need in the middle to link to our forwards,
Begs the question though, when can we expect to see Clucas Allen and Verlinden back in the fold? Think Allen and Oakley would work well with Mikel behind then but in front of our hopefully strong defensive unit. But where does that put clucas

Not sure what is happening with Joe Allen's return to fitness but Verlinden is back playing for the under 23s so it won't be long before he is in contention for the first team again.
Oakley Boothe has improved massively from when he first came to the club and also Mikel looks more match fit, up to speed with the Championship and not getting caught in possession and losing the ball like he was at the start of the season.
The playoffs or even automatic promotion are possible in an unpredictable league where anyone can beat anyone. Having said that - this season is about rebuilding and preparing the club for the future so we perhaps shouldn't be too pissed off with our inconsistency during this campaign.

Gunn, jesus I've never seen anyone look so out of confidence. And I've seen pericard play After that slip for that backpass maybe Gunn has found an old pair of Pericard's boots. |
