S25/26 | Official Match Thread | Swansea v Nottingham Forest | 8pm, Wednesday 17th Sept | The Carabao Cup 3rd Round

Lots of forrest fans seem to think their second x1 will turn us over pretty easily.

They're most probably right, a footballing intelligent fanbase who see a weakness.

Sheeeezy needs to properly show up and demonstrate he is worthy of the massive riches of talent at his disposal. At the moment he is clearly our biggest limiting factor, as pointed out by many many quotes lifted from Saturday's Match day thread.

Yea their Forum tends to have predictions of an easy win for them because they have some new players and strength in depth. We shall see?

 

[Swans Jack]

I'll be the optismistic one on the forum, Swansea 1, Nottingham Forest 4

He’ll make mistakes, nobody’s perfect. Well apart from Iniesta aka Grimes.

Still loads of tickets available, plenty still left on the east stand over by the singing area.

It's disappointing. I know it's a mid week game but it's against a premier league team who finished 7th last season!

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

Plenty of discussion online as to why people are still staying away.
IMO, the ticketing (inc advertising of tickets) and the overall match day experience still has a lot of work to do to win back the casual fan.

I think the team selection has to be pragmatic here, as much as we all want a shock win against a Prem club.
We have a very hard fixture on Saturday, lunchtime kick off too, so I think it best if we get some minutes and game time into the legs of the boys who haven't so far featured, or who have played very little.
If we get tonked, so be it.
I was tempted to say play Vig to give us a chance but he has to be wrapped in cotton wool too. If he was injured, I dread to think of the alternatives.

Sweet. Just found out the game is on Paramount+ plus over here.

I get an annual subscription free with my Walmart+ subscription, 98 bucks a year total for both.

They have the Championship too so I get to watch 30 Swans games per season with that.

They show 8 out of the 12 championship games each game week

It’s the main and only game on Sky Sports so that might be why? TNT Sports here have the European matches.

Showing Grimbsy, Palace, Brentford games today and they have the Champions League as well. So Man City, Newcastle, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus, Spurs amongst those games being shown with others.

But best part is its free with my Walmart+

If anyone else in the USA doesnt have a Walmart+ you need to get one. 4 free whoppers/year from Burger King worth 25+ bucks, free shipping/delivery including doing your weekly shopping and delivering it, discounted petrol etc etc. And all the sports/movies/shows etc on Paramount+. It's like a total giveaway for 98 a year
