Swansea v Blackburn Sat 2 March 15:00
Next up is a home match against Blackburn, who sit one place above us in the table in 16th place on 39 points, the same number of points as us and the same goal difference (-12), but they have one more win than us(11).
Blackburn’s current head-coach is John Eustace, who if you believe media rumours has turned us down twice for the head-coach’s job, once before Martin was appointed and the other time before Williams was appointed.
On 9 Oct 23 Eustace was sacked by Birmingham City with the club in 6th place (Wayne Rooney took over and 15 matches later was sacked with Birmingham 20th in the table).
On 9 Feb 24 Eustace was appointed head coach of Blackburn taking over from Jon Dahl Tomasson.
His record so far, in his 5 matches in charge, is W1 D3 L1 F6 A5 (last 3 matches have been draws including 0-0 at Cardiff).
Their last away win was 25 Nov, a 0-3 win at Stoke, since then they’ve gone 8 away matches without a win.
Their danger man is Sammie Szmodics, who is the Championship’s leading scorer on 18 goals (ironically there are three ex-Swans in the top scorer charts - Morgan Whittaker 17, Joel Piroe 11, Dan James 10, but no current Swansea player makes it).
For the Swans, their home record is abysmal with only 4 wins and 8 defeats from 17 games. After a massive improvement in form in the win at Sunderland last Saturday, fans are hoping for a similar turn around in home form this coming weekend.
