S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Birmingham City v Swansea City | 12.30pm, Saturday 20th September | The EFL Championship | St Andrew’s Stadium

[Ringwood]

I remember we had the TITS - The Independent Travelling Swans - usually in United Welsh Coaches.
The GITS - Gloucestershire Independent Travelling Swans
The SEALS - South East And London Swans
We were everywhere.

And MAGS

 

[Ringwood]

We had great trips to the likes of Bashley. Bognor, Havant & Waterlooville. Histon, Rushden and midweek jaunts to Boston. Hull, Darlo and Colchester.

Brum 3 -2 Swans

Would be a massive let down if we let this game get away from us. Cabango, Vig, Inoussa will be fresh. Tymon played a small amount last night, and ViP. The rest might be tired. That for me is the only excuse for a loss?

And the orher team being very decent and at home

Yeah I get that. No argument there. But I'm one to concentrate on what we do. Yes it's about how they play, but if we have any ambitions to build on the last result then we have to concentrate on keeping our work rate up.

Vigs

Key
Cabango
Burgess
Tymon

Stamenic
Franco
Galbraith

Ronald
Inoussa

Vips

Subs

Samuel Smith
Casey
Yalcouye
Eom
Benson
Cullen
Idah
Widell

I would be tempted to play Benson but still early doors for him.
Any news on Stamenic? If he doesn't make it then Yalcouye in with Sam Parker coming onto the bench.

That's exactly how I would predict line up. Though I think Stamenic might be a few more weeks. If that is case has to be Yalcouye. My fear is tiredness though. Bring Benson on as impact sub and Idah.

 

[Ringwood]

We have some depth all over the pitch but I would say Galbraith needs managing on game time and Yalcouye to an extent. Burgess and Key have played 2 90 mins game this week with Franco, and Eom not far off that. Without Stemenic AS needs to rotate sensibly which he did v Forest.

Ive predicted we will lose 3-2 twice before(Hull and For) and we havent lost yet. I will stop doing it when we lose.

We will go there for the win and get it .0-1 or 1-2 to the Swans

Some interesting decisions for Sheehan to be made.

Do we persevere with the Franco / Galbraith partnership. Does Eom offer enough out wide. Did Benson do enough to start. Do we have Idah in as the outlet, does Ronald start?.. will Stemenic be fit, does Key need a rest...

Good problems to have.

On point one - only if Stamenic is still out injured. If Stamenic plays Galbraith and Yalcouye should be ahead of him. Franco a great option to bring off the bench later on.
Eom should never start in from of Inoussa- unless the latter is injured and even then if think about playing the new LB there. Eom is not a winger full stop.
If Benson is fully fit I’d start him and bring Ronald on later. If key is tired play Ronald there and bring Key on later.
How nice to have options !

That's harsh on Eom. He's not started the season well and is almost certainly not going to be the player we hoped he would be, but suggesting playing a teenage fullback as a winger ahead of him is silly. He had a good game against Forest, his clever ball to Cullen played a major part in the goal.

Ronald has 4 goals so far this season, so he's not getting dropped right now. If Benson gets up to full fitness and stays fit, he could definitely challenge Ronald for the starting spot. Right now, having Ronald and Inoussa to start, with Benson and Eom to come on against tired defenders is a luxury we haven't had in a long time.
