Up next Charlton away on Wednesday night, in what will be another tough match.
Our left back Bidwell will serve the last of his three match ban and I think we’ve missed him.
Charlton are a point behind us in sixth place after a 1-0 win over Leeds(their first away defeat of the season) at The Valley on Saturday.
Leeds were without the injured Pablo Hernandez, an ex- Swan and their key player, and gave forward Helder Costa, on loan from Wolves, his first start of the season.
Leeds had 72% of the possession in that match but hit the target with just 4 of their 19 attempts
We will meet up with an ex-Swansea hero again, Darren Pratley (remember his spectacular goal in the play-off semi-final against Forest).

Charlton manager Lee Bowyer:
"To beat the best team in the league is always a good achievement. I thought we deserved it. We knew we were going to be under pressure at times because everyone who plays Leeds is.
But we held our own and tactically got it spot on. I can't praise my players any more - they are a group that never says die. To get three points just shows how far we have come as a club.
If you don't work hard for the team then you don't play, they all know that. They are a good, honest bunch who want to do well in this division. They are hungry."
Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa:
"The difference between the two sides was big. We didn't impose our superiority and that was the reason for what happened.
They had one shot and scored one goal. We had possession and controlled the game.
Our players were better than their players. We didn't underestimate our opponents but we had more resources on the pitch."
