Controversial though.

Yeah ball hit referee and he's been really poor tonight

2-1 Brum

Watching the match last night, I thought Sheff Utd will be no pushovers. It was largely a reserve team until they needed to bring on some class replacements to get back into the game, but they put up a good fight.
I thought full back McCullum was class, and of course Hamer and Campbell when they came on. Soumare was lucky not to get sent off for a disgraceful piece of thuggery which the ref missed. The captain Jack Robinson got booked for dissent and was lucky not to get sent off as he continued to wind the ref up. He's very chippy. Wonder if he'll be selected against us.

How shyte is Kyogo for Birmingham? Couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
And I hope Swans players are noting how easy it is to wind up the Sheff Utd captain Jack Robinson.

There is a lot of talk he is going to Wrexham. Not sure when or if it is going to happen?

The key to this game for us is targeting their fullbacks. They play a 4 at the back but the fullbacks play as wingbacks leaving gaps out wide for Ronald and Inoussa to exploit.

They are also not strong at CB's either so we need bodies in the box when we get behind their fullbacks.

We really need to be disciplined and organised defensively as this will be where we can win.

Hamer v Franco will be intriguing

I hope Hamer V Franco goes quietly unnoticed so I don't have to hear Franco's Zombie song, absolute cringe.

Do the club know there's issues with the ticketing website ahead of this game?
Shedloads of seats left for this one.
And you can't purchase via the ticketing website as it won't load the map of the ground to choose your seat.

Yes, the Ticketmaster site has been pants for some time. I've had to phone the ticket office each time.

Lots of good work going on behind the scenes but get the basics right too

If Sheehan picks the correct team on Saturday we have as good a chance of turning this lot over as we've had in several seasons. Just seen a press conference with Ruben Selles and he was absolutely raging at their lack of transfer activity so far this window, seething he was. It does not strike me as a particularly happy camp there at the moment.

Sheehan's time in charge last season showed that he has a tendency to go conservative with his teams for away games, but pick more attacking/expansive teams at home. I hope he continues with that on Saturday and doesn't go conservative because Sheffield United are among the favourites to get promoted.

He gave the team a post match bollocking on the pitch as well on the weekend.
