Do we think Vipotnik starts against Hull with Idah on the bench? Scoring for Slovenia as well now, would be incredibly harsh to drop him.

Think Vipotnik will start, Idah to come on in the second half. I just hope it isn’t a case of waiting for Vipotnik to draw a blank so we can justify then starting Idah. Vip has shown improvement, we should embrace that imo.
 
Vipotnik would be my guess. Can't be dropping a striker in his scoring form for a new striker IMO. Wouldn't be fair at all on VIP. The only way he doesn't start is if anything happens from international break, any knocks or anything otherwise it's got to be VIPs place to lose.

In Sheehan's system, the striker coming off the bench could benefit more, as games open up in the 2nd half.
 
Swansea v Hull Sat 13 Sept 15:00

It’s back to league action this Saturday after the two week international break.

Hull are the visitors and we see the return of Ollie McBurnie, another ex-player coming back to haunt us. Ollie has scored once and had two assists in the four games so far.

Their new head-coach is Bosnian Sergei Jakirovic who joined them from Turkish Süper Lig side Kayserispor in June, succeeding Spaniard Rubin Selles who was fired for poor results even though he saved them from relegation.

Hull have recently had EFL restrictions imposed on them after they made late payments to other clubs within a 12-month period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

They had their three-window transfer fee restrictions reduced to two with one suspended on appeal to the EFL against the decision.

Hull cannot pay a transfer fee for any player. The club are only able to sign players who are free agents or on loan deals that do not involve a loan fee.

Hull have had a mixed start to the season and sit in 17th spot on 4 points, conceding 7 goals in their last 2 games.

W1 D1 L2 F5 A9

Bristol City 4 - Hull 2

Hull 0 - Blackburn 3

Hull 3 - Oxford 2

Coventry 0 - Hull 0

Swans meanwhile are in 7th place on 7 points

W2 D1 L1 F4 A2

They have 12 new players in from the summer transfer window plus newcomer Melker Widell and now have quality cover in every position. A headache for head-coach Alan Sheehan, but a good one. How does he fit the newcomers in? For example Zan Vipotnik has scored in his last three games, plus he has just scored for Slovenia whilst in international duty. New centre-forward Adam Idah from Celtic has also just scored for Republic of Ireland whilst on international duty. Which one does he pick to lead the line on Saturday?

After such an impressive transfer window will our missing fans return? Swans fans are fickle but in fairness they have had nothing to cheer about with the last three manager fails. Surely now though they can see the efforts made by the new owners to build a strong squad and will return.

Do we know if Markos going to be alright? Sounded like he picked up a strain but no idea how bad is it
 
Anything you can share on it mate? Breakdown behind the scenes? Going off your tweet saying it’s not a big deal I’m guessing he took a lot of credit for others work throughout the summer? @VitalSwansea

EFL analysis article hinting at tensions behind the scenes maybe? Him and Sheehan not seeing eye to eye.

If that’s the case then should our manager be wielding this much power? Surely the club structure should be able to operate regardless of who the manager is, that’s what keeps project clubs going. Brighton can lose Potter, De Zerbi and carry on undeterred because of those above them. I hope I’m making sense here.

He deffo wanted Hellberg
 
This was the team that lined up last match against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday 30 August:

Lawrence Vigouroux; Josh Key, Ben Cabango (c), Cameron Burgess, Josh Tymon; Marko Stamenic, Ethan Galbraith, Goncalo Franco; Ronald, Zeidane Inoussa, Žan Vipotnik.

Subs: Andy Fisher, Melker Widell, Malick Yalcouye, Jisung Eom, Liam Cullen, Bobby Wales, Kaelan Casey, Ollie Cooper, Sam Parker.

Two days later, the last day of the transfer window, we brought in three new players, centre-forward Adam Idah, left-back/left wing-back Ishe Samuels-Smith and left-footed right-winger Manuel Benson.

Marko Stamenic is injured along with Jay Fulton and Ollie Cooper has gone out on loan.

So, assuming Sheehan picks the same team to start as last time out, he will also want to accommodate the three new signings.

One will replace Stamenic, one will replace Cooper. Parker is cover for right-back Key so it looks as if Wales will drop out to accommodate Idah.

What do you think?
 
Disappointing that was. We have some good play that just didn't end up with any chances. Think Vig bailed us out a lot today
 
Couldn’t understand the subs Sheehan made. Inoussa had beaten his man and set up the goal in that 5-10 min period and then he’s shipped off. Vipi maybe tiring I can understand, Yalcouye off when it was arguably his best performance. Felt like a decision where because we have so much depth now, it was a case of using it just because it’s sat on the bench…
 
Swansea 2 (Vipotnik 40’, Ronald 57’) - Hull 2 (McBurnie 45’, Egan 97’)

Another poor attendance and a disappointing display, especially second-half, defending awful, final third poor, wide open on the wings. Vigouroux made three good saves that could have seen Hull win comfortably. Ref was awful and one sided, ignoring Hull’s bullying tactics, especially from their number 5 Lundstram.

Hull brought on their speedy subs which transformed them and our defence was laid open. I thought we’d got away with the win but with 30 seconds left of the 7 mins added time another Hull cross into the box saw our defence panic once again and Hull scored.

Not good enough after taking the lead twice. We went to sleep at the end of both halves. Two on target to their six with only 35% possession tells the story.
