SWANSEA AWAY.......

Can Saints continue their great run against Swansee who have also had a terrific start to the season??

difficult one to predict, Swansea had had a good start and with Bony and Gnomis up front think Font and Toby are in for a tough afternoon, that said don't think they are as strong at the back, going to go for a 2 2 draw

excellent result, first half bit dirty according to my mate who went but Swansea going down to 10 men gave us the advantage. Glad to see another goal from midfield, well done big Vic

Yeah, 0-1 that's another three points in the bag.

Maybe not the best of performances but three very useful points. Hope Toby and JWP will be fit by next weekend. I was a little surprised Maya got the start rather than Florin.

My attempt at ratings based on TV highlights......

FORSTER 7
CLINE 7
FONTE 6
MAYA 6
BERTRAND 7
SCHNEIDERLIN 6
CORK 7
WARD-PROWSE 6
TADIQ 7
LONG 5
PELLE 6
FLORIN 7
DAVIS 6
WANYAMA 7

think we were a bit lucky, both Fonte and JWP could easily have picked up a second yellow card, JWP especially with the dumb tackle where he injured himself. Hope Koeman stamps out this idea of the scissor tackle that JWP did, not clever and ought to be a yellow card every time.

Not so worried about JWP being fit Wanyama showed what a beast he can be and think he should def start against QPR, I would rest for Arsenal cup game and give Harrison reed a start along with Davis. I would also go one up front to start with Long, Tadic playing behind and leave Pelle on the bench for a bit of a rest. like Ricky he can do 3 games in a week and he is proving a handful for defenders so really want him up for when twitchy comes to St Marys.
