Was in Swansea a few weeks back. Interesting place, tried to take in the sights and scenes of 'Twin Town' but wasn't entirely possible. Well worth a visit however, very few people seemed to speak Welsh and it's being overtaken by other minorities. Large screen near the center that features sporting activities and local attractions. I prefer the Abertawe name in it's native language, they got an impressive beach and waterfront.

Voted for us to take it, maybe it can be a 2 - 0 success. That first win has to arrive sooner or later but make no mistake about it Hurst is still in a situation of tangible concern and has thus far been a disappointment. Victory is imperative, it should arrive from this event.

Swansea 0 Ipswich 2

What’s the formation, do we reckon?

Gerks

Donacian - chambo - nsaila - Pennington

Skuse - chalobah

Edwards - dozzell - ward

Sears

If so seems ok, although not sure what Jackson’s done wrong

Donacien played LB at Accrington and once for us.... would have thought he would play there.

It’s time Knudsen got dropped.

Not too sure about Sears in for Jackson .... but Freddie did put himself about in the last game. If he’s in the team then it makes sense not to have Knudsen there to lump balls up to a little fella.

Come on Dozza.

Interesting that Lankester makes the bench. No Edun on the bench.... would prefer him to Graham.

The bench looks more attacking based.... not as if we have any more defenders available.

Oh look Edwards scores - get in!

Jesus if we could hold on to this...

BBC putting possession at 80% Swansea though - talk about a fast flowing river..

Bloody hell. Weird game, but entertaining.

Should be well behind, but top marks for endeavour. Sears is doing well running the channels. The defence has been ragged, but tightened up in the last 15. We’ve actually put in two good crosses which resulted in goals. Actually, Sears could have scored twice more.

I’m just hoping Swansea don’t get an early goal. They play lovely football, but hoping they’re one of those flaky teams which look better than the end result. Head says... we’ll lose this 4-2 or 5-3. But we could sneak this. COYB.

Very enjoyable but getting ripped apart down our right, Pennington struggling at RB big time. Their passing game is causing major problems, 2 great saves by Gerken but we have looked dangerous and could have had 4 ourselves, Sears should have scored in first couple of mins and then again from fab Edwards cross. Dozzell done more already than Nolan has all season. Donacien limped off at HT which is a worry. Would still take a point right now.

Sounds as if ward is having a decent game for a change.
Dozzell has surely nailed down a start next game
