The Fat Controller reports that we looked second best at first, but are coming more into the game as the half wears on. Unfortunately, we defended another set piece badly to let Leon Knight in to score early on and Oakes has been troubled on a couple of occasions.

In the main, however, Swansea are not really hurting us too badly, mainly becuase Lee Trundle’s tricks are being dealt with well by Gerrard and Westwood.

The two young lads up front are, however, the weak point, both being brushed off the ball far too easily and, accordingly, the ball is just not sticking when we get it forward.

Radio WM are reporting that Mads Timm is missing with a calf strain and that there are rumours about Dean Keates coming back to the club.
