Swansea City - Nottingham Forest

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

To be played on Saturday 11th December 2021.

At the Swansea.com Stadium (another shit name).

Kick off is at 3pm.

Steve Cooper goes back to Swansea for the first time since he left the club. That should add a bit of spice.

No need for any changes to the starting eleven in my opinion. I think it will be the same again.

Yep, same again Sniff I agree, but personally I'd be moving Colback back into the middle.

I’d rest Johnno.

And yes, there is that. It needs doing, definitely.

It's about time we moved Colback back to CM were his form (and additionally his attunement with Yates...) provided some colossal CM displays from the Reds and were a large part of the 'decent' run.

The LB issue is a running sore.  It thwarts two positions to solve one as is.  I think Colback out of CM weakens Forest.  Just when he was getting back to his 'when he was last here' best.

Seems a bit jaded to me.  That's how it gets with young players in the Championship.

Battle fatigue.  If we had sound alternatives we'd be using them and resting BJ.

To me, it's all down to the fact that Forest don't have depth at LB, a proper ACM, an experienced winger who can score goals and competition for Grabban.

Yes.  That's four players.  But we have four players who aren't even contributing from the Summer's business.  Deja Vu?

I hope this is addressed during the Jan' window.

Rest! It's not like Mighten or Lolley have really offered much either.

Yeah.  That's why young players go in and out of a side.  They have slumps in form.  Battle fatigue.  Change in formation doesn't suit them.  Left Wing back gets injured...has an impact.  Opposition sides work him out and put 3 players on him?

Etc.

I’m hoping he just needs a rest mate, he has played a surprising number of consecutive games.
