Swansea City face a run of seven games in 21 days when they return to action after the international break.

It is at times like these, Alan Sheehan points out, that you need players like Lawrence Vigouroux and Josh Tymon.

Swansea have lost some good players – such as Ryan Manning and Harry Darling – for nothing in recent years because their contracts have been allowed to run down.

Others, such as Joel Piroe and Nathan Wood, have been sold because they had only a year to run on their respective deals, weakening Swansea's position when interest came from elsewhere.

So the recent news that goalkeeper Vigouroux and left-back Tymon have agreed fresh long-term contracts was welcome from a business perspective.

The deals are also good news for Swansea's head coach, who knows two of his more reliable performers will be around for a while yet.

"Vigs (Vigouroux) and Tymo (Tymon) are week in, week out Championship players," Sheehan said.

"You get programmed to the Championship – [playing games] Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday.

"Tymo has been doing that since he's been here. I know Vigs is a goalie but he's the same. They show up every single day, they rack it up."

Ensuring the likes of Vigouroux and Tymon will stick around is even more important for a club who have predominantly signed players who are not tried and tested in the Championship in recent windows.

"When we bring in players from different leagues and different countries, it takes some time to adapt," Sheehan added.

"So to have players who are programmed to play that number of games at that level, [is important].

"I am delighted for the two of them [after the contract extensions] because they are two wonderful characters and they deserve it, they have been very good."

Liam Cullen reckons Snoop Dogg could make his first appearance at a Swansea City game when Alan Sheehan's team play Hollywood-owned Wrexham in December.

Swansea have indicated the American rapper will attend a fixture after he became a co-owner and investor at the Championship club in July.

There have long been suggestions that the visit of Wrexham, who are owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, on Friday, 19 December may see Snoop Dogg make a maiden visit to the Swansea.com Stadium.

And it appears that is also the talk within the Swansea dressing room.

"I think he (Snoop Dogg) is actually coming over for the Wrexham game, that's what I've heard," Swansea forward Cullen told this week's Feast of Football podcast.

"I am looking forward to seeing him."

Snoop Dogg's son Cordell Broadus has already visited Swansea, meeting the players and watching the game from the directors' box as Sheehan's men drew 1-1 with Watford in August.

"We have had his son in," Cullen added.

"With the new investors, Snoop Dogg and Luka Modric, it adds a few more eyes on to the club and with the investment and stuff, there is a bit of a higher expectation now which is a good thing for us."

Richard Montague has returned to former club Notts County as director of football less than a month after leaving Swansea City.

Montague spent almost six years with the Magpies before leaving to become director of football at Swansea in February.

But the 39-year-old lasted only seven months at the Championship club, who announced he was leaving after "an internal review of our football operations".

Swansea have indicated they will not replace Montague, with his responsibilities falling instead to chief executive Tom Gorringe and Adam Worth, their global head of analytics and recruitment.

Montague agreed to join Swansea when Luke Williams, his former colleague at Meadow Lane, was the club's head coach.

But with the Swans struggling for form, Williams departed just as Montague arrived.

He then led the search for Williams' long-time successor, speaking to a number of potential candidates, but Swansea ultimately handed Alan Sheehan a long-term contract after he impressed as interim boss.

Montague says he is "incredibly excited and grateful to be back at Notts" and that he is returning with "fresh ideas, experiences and contacts".

Defender Marc Guehi says he is "eternally grateful" to Swansea City for his productive loan spells with the club earlier on in his career.

The centre-back had two separate stints with Swans on loan from Chelsea and helped Steve Cooper's side reach the Championship play-offs in successive seasons.

And having gone on to shine with Crystal Palace in the Premier League, in addition to earning 25 England caps, Guehi was quick to thank Swansea ahead of the Three Lions' friendly fixture with Wales at Wembley on Thursday (19:45 BST).

"It (his time at Swansea) was great to be honest. Tough I would say just because it was my first time going away from home and being in a different place," he said.

"It was exactly what I needed at the time.

"For me, learning as much as possible in the men's game was something that was just a pleasure to be part of, especially Swansea, I can't give them enough credit for the way they treated me and helped me, the club, the staff and especially the fans.

"I'm eternally grateful to Swansea."

Guehi made 59 appearances for Swansea, having first signed in January 2020 and then returned for the entire 2020-21 campaign.

He will be reunited with a number of players who were Swansea team-mates as Wales head to London.

"I'm looking forward to seeing them, I enjoyed playing with them, [Ben] Cabango, Liam [Cullen] and Joe [Rodon], so I'm looking forward to the game," added the 25-year-old.

BBC Sport asked Swansea City fans which of their players have caught the eye so far this season - and which have not.

Here are some of the responses we received:

Satch - Vipi [Zan Vipotnik] without doubt, the guy is top top quality but needs that arm around the shoulder some players need to be at their best. Give him service and he will score.

Richard - Ethan Galbraith has been outstanding. Cameron Burgess a great signing. Goncalo Franco, Zan Vipotnik and Lawrence Vigouroux have all played well. Adam Idah and Liam Cullen need to improve drastically but our weak link is Josh Key - his defending is a major cause for concern.

Bob - Zan Vipotnik has been on fire and Ronald. Josh Tymon has been defensively a lot better and less mistakes. Even though Liam Cullen got a goal against Blackburn I think he is massively underperforming.

JibJob - Obvious best performers would be Zan Vipotnik, Ethan Galbraith and Lawrence Vigouroux. Think Zeidane Inoussa has gone massively under the radar, he's a player that will come to be a key player later in the season when he settles. Think Josh Key has been the weakest link.

Gareth - Ben Cabango has been awesome. He's making it his own for Swansea and Wales. I'll be honest though, I think all who started [against Leicester] played well - just lacking consistency from game to game.

Simon - Ethan Galbraith, Zeidane Inoussa and Zan Vipotnik top of the class. Josh Key needs to improve his decision-making when we're attacking. Ben Cabango needs to cut out the mistakes. I'm not convinced he's good enough to be captain.

Huw - Ethan Galbraith and Zan Vipotnik have been the standout performers so far. You could always see the quality with Vipotnik but just needed a run of games. Unfortunately I don't think Galbraith will be with us for very long, he's the best midfielder we've had since the Premier League. On the other hand, Josh Key has not been the same player this season compared to last. I also believe Cameron Burgess is not good enough on the ball to play in our system and has been caught out on many occasions.

Gethin - I think you cannot ignore how good Ethan Galbraith has been this season. He has been fantastic! On another note, so far Josh Key has failed to impress this season and continues to waste possession and good attacking possibilities.

Ben - All players have been good and not far off getting more points. To get to the play-off places they need to improve individually and as a team... they have some exciting attacking talent.

Josh - I think Ethan Galbraith has been a fantastic signing and I dare say an upgrade on Matt Grimes, who I really didn't want us to sell. Manuel Benson hasn't pulled off anything he's tried when he's had minutes and is trying too hard to do it all himself when he gets the ball. As our big-money signing, you have to say Adam Idah takes the crown as biggest underperformer so far - he looks a bit lost, and having Zan Vipotnik start ahead of him seems to have shaken his confidence, rather than motivate him.

Clare - Ethan Galbraith has been a fantastic signing and has been our best player this season up to now. Cameron Burgess has also been a good signing. Players are fighting for squad places now and that is something we haven't had for a while.

Swansea City sit 12th during what is the penultimate international break of the year, having taken 12 points from the first 27 on offer in the Championship.

But who do you think have been the best performers under Alan Sheehan so far this season? And which player or players do you think need to improve?

Alan Sheehan is to give Swansea City's non-international players some time off this week in an attempt to prepare for the brutal run of fixtures which is around the corner.

A number of Sheehan's squad members have departed for duty with their respective national teams following defeat to Leicester City last weekend.

While those left behind will do some training this week, Sheehan believes it is also important to "give them a couple of days" to recharge batteries.

Swansea return to action after the break with a trip to Southampton on 18 October, which will be the first of seven games in three weeks before the November international window.

"I think everybody benefits from spending time with family," said head coach Sheehan.

"The lads that are here, if they want to go home for a couple of days, I think that's definitely beneficial.

"Then when the team is back in it's bang, bang, bang because it is seven games in 21 days, so it's quite mental."

Sheehan will be keeping an eye on his various international players as they jet around the world.

Lawrence Vigouroux's Chile are in action against Peru, Eom Jisung is with South Korea for games against Brazil and Paraguay and Cameron Burgess is in the Australia squad for friendlies in Canada and the USA.

Marko Stamenic's New Zealand play friendlies in Poland and Norway, Manuel Benson is in the Angola squad for matches against Eswatini and Cameroon and Zan Vipotnik is with Slovenia for games against Kosovo and Switzerland.

Ben Cabango and Liam Cullen are both in Craig Bellamy's Wales squad who travel to Wembley for a friendly against England on Thursday before hosting Belgium in a World Cup qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium next Monday.

Ben Cabango and Liam Cullen will be in action closer to home as Wales take on England and Belgium, with Ethan Galbraith facing home games for Northern Ireland against Slovakia and Germany.

Adam Idah is another of the Swansea players on international duty, with Republic of Ireland facing Portugal and Armenia.

"Everybody's telling me you need a day off, but you end up checking on every one of them," Sheehan said.

"We'll be without them until probably Wednesday, Thursday before the next game.

"You would love to have them there. I think it would be good to have that 10 days together just to put other things in place because we're not getting loads of time on the training pitch.

"But you also have to appreciate that representing your country is a great honour for any player."

Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts believes Swansea City were unfortunate to be beaten by high-flying Leicester City on Saturday.

Swansea lost at home for the first time this season as the Foxes ran out 3-1 victors at the Swansea.com Stadium.

A frustrated Alan Sheehan said after the match that he did not want Swansea to "be a nearly team", insisting his players must believe they can "go toe to toe with everybody in the division".

Ex-Leicester player Roberts, who was at the game as a pundit, felt Swansea impressed despite the defeat.

"I was shocked at what Alan said after the game because I thought they did compete against Leicester," Roberts said.

"I thought they were the better team for large periods of the game.

"What beat them on the day were Leicester's first two goals, which were incredible, from Jordan James first and Abdul Fatawu.

"They had more possession than Leicester which not many teams will do this season. They had the same number of shots [on target] as Marti Cifuentes' team.

"It's only Alan Sheehan's second loss at the Swansea.com Stadium in 20 games and I thought they were unlucky to lose on the day."

Alan Sheehan has told Melker Widell "his chance will come" after the Sweden international's low-key start to life at Swansea City.

Widell, 23, is yet to begin a Championship game since arriving at Swansea in the summer and he has not even made the bench in their past three games.

There was considerable excitement at Swansea after they completed the signing of midfielder Widell from Danish side AaB Aalborg for a significant fee back in January.

As part of the deal, Widell spent the remainder of the season on loan at Aalborg before moving to Wales on a contract which runs until 2029.

Since the Widell transfer was agreed, Sheehan has replaced Luke Williams as Swansea's head coach, while then chairman Andy Coleman has stepped aside.

Nevertheless, Sheehan insists Swansea's new-look hierarchy regard Widell as a player with a big future.

"He signed here on a long-term contract and is massively part of our plans," Sheehan said.

"I've had numerous talks with Melker – he is a top lad, his attitude is wonderful and he will get there.

Image source, Huw Evans Picture Agency

"He is not there yet. He's got things he needs to improve on like every player. But in terms of how he trains every day, how he is around the place, he's excellent and he's going to be involved for us."

Widell has played only 65 minutes of league football across six substitute appearances for Swansea, while he started Carabao Cup ties against Crawley Town and Plymouth Argyle and came off the bench in the win over Nottingham Forest.

Sheehan says the former Malmo youngster's best position is attacking midfield.

Competition for places in that area of the pitch at Swansea has been fierce, with the likes of Ethan Galbraith, Malick Yalcouye, Goncalo Franco and Liam Cullen all featuring in more advanced midfield roles – usually ahead of Marko Stamenic in the holding role – at times this season.

"Obviously that's the difficulty in my job, leaving players out who are doing everything right on the training pitch and with how they are," Sheehan added.

"I think ultimately Melker is getting used to a different way of playing and getting better. He's got so much desire to get better and he will get better.

"He's improving all the time, so his chance will come."

Boss Alan Sheehan was reluctant to search for positives – or excuses – after Swansea City's first home defeat of the season.

While Middlesbrough, Stoke City and Coventry City have been among the early pacesetters in the Championship, Sheehan reckons Leicester could be the side who get over the line first come next May.

Nevertheless, Sheehan's frustration over Swansea's failure to get a result against the Foxes was clear.

Certainly, Sheehan's team competed with Leicester, or at least they did until Abdul Fatawu's goal made it 2-1 10 minutes from time.

But a visiting team loaded with players who were operating in the Premier League last season carried greater menace throughout the contest, hence they scored three goals and hit the woodwork three times.

A couple of Swansea players looked a little weary, while Sheehan had left Ethan Galbraith and Zeidane Inoussa out of his starting side because of the minutes they had racked up previously.

Yet Swansea's head coach quickly rejected the idea that fatigue might have held his team back, saying: "I'm not going to hide behind that, in terms tiredness or anything."

Swansea asked questions of Leicester without creating enough clear-cut opportunities.

The goal they scored came from the penalty spot, with Adam Idah finding the target for the first time since his big-money move from Celtic.

Was Idah getting off the mark one positive Swansea could take from defeat?

"Yeah, look, there are some positives," Sheehan said. "But I hate losing. I really do. And we've not lost a whole lot, so it is disappointing."

And so Sheehan is left to stew over a rare home reverse throughout the international break, with Swansea not back in action until they go to another of last season's relegated Premier League clubs, Southampton, on 18 October.

It promises to be another stern test for Sheehan's new-look Swansea side, even if Saints' start to the season has been underwhelming.

But expect Sheehan to be simmering once more if his team come away from St Mary's with nothing.

Alan Sheehan reckons Swansea City will face perhaps the best side in the Championship this season when they host Leicester City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Leicester have made a solid start to the season following their relegation from the Premier League in 2024-25, losing only one of their first eight league games.

But having beaten Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton and Birmingham – and losing at Preston – in their first four second-tier fixtures, Marti Cifuentes' team have played out four successive league draws.

Leicester are sixth in the early-season table, but former Foxes player Sheehan reckons his old club will be in the mix for automatic promotion come next spring.

"I'd be surprised if they're not up there," he said.

"They're a team that were in the Premier League last year and have players that have got a lot of Premier League experience.

Image source, Getty Images

"I've watched a bit of them. They're another team that could probably have more points – they are slightly simmering in areas - but a team that you have to be very organised against because they've got a lot of quality all over pitch."

Having ended a three-game Championship winless streak by beating Blackburn in midweek, Swansea are now chasing a first home victory in four attempts.

Since beating Sheffield United in their first home league game of the season, Swansea have drawn with Watford, Hull City and Millwall on their own patch.

"Hull was obviously incredibly disappointing, you're [winning after] 97 minutes in the first game back after the break and concede from a set-piece," Sheehan said.

"Millwall was disappointing to concede on the stroke of half-time and then a set-piece worldie against Watford.

"The draws can feel like losses, but also respecting who we're playing against. It's an incredibly difficult game against Leicester. We have to respect them and we'll need our fans right behind us again to give us that extra bit."

Four successive draws have seen Leicester fall five points behind Championship leaders Middlesbrough as they prepare to face Swansea City in South Wales.

The Swans are also proving to be draw specialists themselves with each of their past three home games in the league ending in stalemates.

• Swansea City have won just one of their past nine league meetings against Leicester City (D1 L7).

• The Foxes have won three of their four away league meetings at Swansea (L1), their last loss coming in the top flight in February 2017 (0-2) when they were reigning champions.

• Swansea City are unbeaten in their past eight home matches in the Championship (W4 D4), keeping four clean sheets in the process. This is the Swans' longest unbeaten home run since a run of 13 between October 2020 and February 2021.

• Leicester City have drawn each of their past four league matches, their longest run of consecutive draws since a run of six between October and November 2004.

• Ricardo Pereira's tally of two goals in five Championship matches this season is just one shy of the three goals he managed in 39 matches in his last campaign in the competition (2023-24).

Alan Sheehan says he did not have to explain to Goncalo Franco why he was left out against Millwall last weekend – because the midfielder told him first.

Franco had started every Swansea City league game since Sheehan took charge in February until he was omitted against the Lions.

Sheehan was planning to break the news to Franco on the eve of the Millwall game, only for the player to take the lead in "a really honest conversation".

"I was going to tell him but then he told me instead," Swansea's head coach said.

"That's the kind of culture that you want to be a part of. He knows the competition. He was incredibly complimentary about his team-mates and how they're playing.

"That's how we want it - everybody supporting each other because everybody's not going to start every week."

Franco was an unused substitute against Millwall, when summer signings Ethan Galbraith (pictured below) – one of Swansea's star performers this season – Marko Stamenic and Malick Yalcouye started in Swansea's midfield.

But the Portuguese was recalled for the midweek trip to Blackburn Rovers, where he scored his first goal of the season in spectacular fashion to help Swansea to a first win in four league games.

"Sometimes you need a little reset, sometimes when you're in the heat of the action you can't actually see what's going on," Sheehan added.

"We spoke about it and he knows exactly where he's at. He's an honest player. He knows what he does well, how important he is to the team.

"Sometimes it can be 'oh you're on the bench'. Yeah, but it's the team that finishes - we're seeing how important that is, in the Championship and in other leagues.

"You need massive impact off the bench and sometimes that can determine the scoreline."

Having returned successfully at Blackburn, Franco looks likely to keep his place when Swansea take on Leicester City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Goncalo Franco's spectacular goal made the bigger headlines as Swansea City claimed victory at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night.

But Liam Cullen provided the winner – and gave a reminder that he has plenty to offer in the process.

Only six weeks ago, Alan Sheehan gave his backing to Cullen, insisting Swansea would only sign a striker in the summer transfer window if they could find someone who was "better than what we have".

"When we talk about potential players coming in, the first person I think of is the nine that is playing in Liam Cullen, an absolute tireless worker for the team, somebody who's on my team sheet more than he's not," Swansea's head coach said on 21 August.

Cullen had started Swansea's opening two league games of the season, against Middlesbrough and Sheffield United, and then kept his place against Watford a couple of days later.

Since then, however, last season's 12-goal top scorer has been restricted to appearances from the bench.

Cullen's bit-part role has been the result of Zan Vipotnik's excellent goalscoring form and the deadline-day signing of Adam Idah.

Image source, Huw Evans Agency

With those two vying to be Swansea's centre-forward, Cullen's recent opportunities have come in a less advanced role.

It is the same sort of position in which he has been deployed – and has impressed – in Craig Bellamy's Wales side.

In the short-term at least, playing off either Vipotnik or Idah seems like Cullen's best hope of forcing his way into Sheehan's team.

The issue is that competition this season is fierce, with Sheehan already wrestling with the problem of having Ethan Galbraith, Marko Stamenic, Malick Yalcouye and Franco - not to mention the likes of Melker Widell and Jay Fulton - competing for places in what is usually a three-man central midfield.

Cullen is a bigger goalscoring threat than any of those players, as he proved at Ewood Park with the cool, precise finish which brought his first goal since May and earned Swansea a first win in four Championship matches.

The question now is whether Sheehan will find a way to give Cullen more minutes, or continue to use him sparingly from the bench.

Head coach Alan Sheehan speaks to BBC Sport Wales after Swansea City's 2-1 victory at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday.

Alan Sheehan paid tribute to Goncalo Franco after the midfielder responded to being left out last weekend with a stunning goal in Swansea City's comeback win over Blackburn Rovers.

Franco paid the price for a slow start to the season as he was omitted from the Swansea side for Saturday's draw with Millwall.

The Portuguese, Swansea's player of the year in 2024-25, had previously started every league game since Sheehan took charge in February.

Having been recalled at Ewood Park on Tuesday, Franco marked his return by scoring just his third goal in 51 appearances since joining Swansea in 2024.

It was comfortably Franco's finest strike yet, the 24-year-old arriving at the far post to volley back across goal and into the net.

"Franco is a tireless worker for the team and sometimes the outcomes - goals and assists - don't look as big [from him]," said Swansea head coach Sheehan.

"For him to come out with that wonderful goal… that's what we want from our [number] eights."

Sheehan said he had spoken to Franco about his absence against Millwall, when Swansea started with Marko Stamenic, Ethan Galbraith and on-loan Brighton youngster Malick Yalcouye in midfield.

"We have great chats with these lads," Sheehan added.

"Franco knows exactly where he is and what he has to do. He [had] started every game under me in the league. The other day… it's not dropped, it's just changing for different games.

Image source, Huw Evans Picture Agency

"Malick came in, tonight was a night for Franco. You could see why – away to Blackburn on a Tuesday night, it's always going to be difficult."

Franco's goal drew Swansea level at Blackburn after Todd Cantwell's opener, with the visitors claiming victory thanks to Liam Cullen's second-half goal.

Rovers felt they were denied the chance to equalise from the spot late on when Cameron Burgess slid in on Cantwell.

"I didn't see it," Sheehan said. "I can't comment on that one, but we have had a few decisions that have gone against us. They have cost us points that would have put us higher in the table."

Swansea are up to seventh in the Championship table on the back of the Blackburn win.

They return to action with a home game against fifth-placed Leicester City on this coming Saturday.

Former Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley says he will need a knee replacement because he has "no ligament left" in the joint.

Bartley, 34, retired on the eve of this season despite having another year to run on his contract at West Bromwich Albion.

He played 38 times for Swansea after joining from Arsenal in 2012, leaving for West Brom after the club's relegation from the Premier League in 2018.

Bartley suffered a number of knee problems during his career, including a five-month lay-off in his final season at Swansea.

"I'm left now with no ligament in my knee and need a knee replacement sooner or later," Bartley told BBC Radio WM.

Alan Sheehan says Swansea City must keep on bouncing back if they are to thrive in the Championship this season.

Swansea go in search of a first league win in four games at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday (19:45 BST).

The Swans were left frustrated after taking only one point against Millwall last Saturday, their third straight league draw on home soil.

Sheehan's side are down to 13th in the early-season table, having won only two – and lost only two – of their opening seven second-tier games.

With Leicester City to come at the weekend, Sheehan says his team's ability to continually recover and go again will be key to their chances of climbing the division.

"These draws feel like losses, albeit this league is so competitive right now and there are very fine margins in the game all across the league," the Swansea head coach said.

"I understand this league. It's about consistently bouncing back. Even when you win, you have to bounce back because every game is a different challenge – you have different teams you come up against.

"We go to Blackburn and then have Leicester. It's a really difficult week before we have [the international] break so our mentality has to be right."

Swansea face Blackburn for the first time since Sheehan's first game at the helm following the departure of Luke Williams, which the Welsh side won 3-0.

Zan Vipotnik (pictured above), Myles Peart-Harris and Liam Cullen all scored that day, but Swansea have won only once at Ewood Park since the early 1970s.

Blackburn are 20th in the table having won twice and lost four times in six league games so far this season.

They are yet to win at home in 2025-26 having been beaten by Birmingham and Norwich – and Bradford in the Carabao Cup – though they were leading Ipswich Town 1-0 10 days ago when that match was abandoned late on because of a waterlogged pitch.

Sheehan says his team must "control moments better" if they are to add to Blackburn's home disappointments.

"We are simmering... now it's [about finding] that killer edge," he added.

"We have got to chase that next goal. Whether we are 1-0 up or 1-0 down, we have to go after that next goal – and then finish off halves as well."

We asked you, Swansea City's fans, for your thoughts on Alan Sheehan's side – and to forecast how many points they will get from this week's Championship games against Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City.

Swansea, who are 13th in the early-season table after their weekend draw with Millwall, go to Blackburn on Tuesday (19:45 BST) before Leicester visit on Saturday.

Here are some of your views.

Ianto - It's so difficult to predict Swans' results at the moment. As strong as the squad is on paper, the team is still yet to fire on all cylinders so Alan Sheehan's team selection for this week's fixtures will be interesting. Four points would be great.

JACK2AKING - I would like to get six points but as we all know the Championship is a very competitive league and anyone can beat anyone on any given day, so would take four out of the six points available.

Chris - I don't think the no win in three league games is a fair reflection on performances. Dare I say it, the performances of officials and some key decisions have not gone our way. Yes we could be more clinical but an onside goal and a clear penalty would have changed that outlook. I trust the players to bounce back against Blackburn.

Richard - Swans still don't score enough goals and can't keep a clean sheet. I predicted a few weeks ago that a top-half finish is more realistic than a play-off place.

Paul - Unfortunately I think the team were poor at times against a standard Millwall side. Blackburn and Leicester will be too strong for us. Definitely a penalty [against Millwall] though. Poor ref.

Image source, Huw Evans Agency

Danny - We definitely need a win on Tuesday night. It's been very frustrating in the last three games to drop points. I'll be at Blackburn. COYS!

Clare - Can see Swansea City picking up something at Blackburn and against Leicester City but need to stop conceding injury-time goals. Hopefully the dubious decisions by the match officials in the last two games will even themselves out and we won't be talking about the officials at full-time.

Steve - The standard of play from the Swans this season is such a marked improvement on last. I think it's only a matter of time before the team gels. Sheehan has given us lots of hope.

Gary - Hopefully six points but it'll probably be two. I keep saying it but the midfield isn't working. [Goncalo] Franco was underperforming but [Marko] Stamenic played far too deep on Saturday. [Malick] Yalcouye isn't strong enough on the ball, Anyway, onwards and hopefully upwards.

Gareth - Rovers and Leicester could be six points but Swansea seem to be a club who lose to teams that haven't won a game in an age. Hopefully, we'll break that cycle and get all six points. Realistically Swansea are in transition and although I'm not worried at all about relegation this season, I think we are too far off Premier League ready. But boy do I have hopes for next season because only a fool couldn't see this team's potential. Come on!
