Two very tough away matches coming up this week when we travel to meet Brentford and Norwich, before yet another International break.
First up on Tuesday evening at 7pm we play Brentford at their new Community Stadium.
We met them four times last season, twice in the league and twice in the play-off semi finals, winning just one of them.
Brentford went on to lose against Fulham in the play-off final and their free scoring trio of players, 46 goals and 18 assists between them last season, and nicknamed BMW, were split up.
Left winger Benrahma went to West Ham on loan for £4m, right winger Mbeumo is still there, and centre forward Watkins went to Villa for £28m.
Ivan Toney, League One player of the year, replaced Watkins at centre forward. Bought from Peterborough for £5m + £5m in add-ons he has already netted 9 goals this season and is the Championship leading scorer.
Thomas Frank, Brentford’s outspoken Danish Coach, is well known to Swans fans, and they will be hoping for the win on Tuesday to silence his arrogant talk.
Remember his outcry when Rico Henry was sent off for a bad foul on Connor Roberts in the play-off semi final first leg last season.
He said that he fully expected the red card to be overturned and that he was 100% sure they would win the second leg. On both counts he was right and to Swans fans frustration Rico Henry’s red card was overturned and he played a crucial part in the match and got the assist for Mbeumo’s winning goal to make the score 3-2 on aggregate.
