Swansea v Norwich, Wed 4 Oct, 19:45
Norwich up next in our last home game before yet another International break. They sit in 7th place in the table on 16 points having lost 3 of their last 5 games
Season’s results: W5 D1 L3 F19 A16 Pts16
September’s results: WLLWL
30/9 Norwich 2 - Birmingham 0
23/9 Plymouth 6 - Norwich 2
20/9 Norwich 0 - Leicester 2
16/9 Norwich 1 - Stoke 0
2/9 Rotherham 2 - Norwich 1
The game that stands out in those results is the Plymouth one, where Norwich conceded 6 goals with almost 70% possession, 4 from ex-Swans, a Whittaker hat-trick and one from Cundle (shame we lost Whittaker, and for such a low price, but he didn’t want to play for us after Martin’s mishandling of him).
Manager David Wagner said after the Plymouth hammering
“Today it wasn't a problem of attitude or willingness, I think everyone worked hard, but the goals we gave away, we conceded four counter-attacking goals, a couple of further counter chances as well. It's something which is totally unusual for us, we played in areas where we should not play."
Let’s hope they have another “unusual” night on Wednesday!
For the Swans the injury list grows. Pederson is out until after the International break, Yates went off with a dead leg at Millwall and Patino was also withdrawn after taking a knock. Coupled with Allen, Wood and Ginnelly out long term it doesn’t look good.
The good news is that our squad is stronger this year and hopefully that will see us through.
Looking forward to seeing a rejuvenated Swans display on Wednesday and another win to bump us up the table.
