Swans v Saints Saturday 20 January 12:30
Lambs to the slaughter coming up next in the big mismatch.
A weak Swansea side were hammered 5-0 by this lot on Boxing Day and we face another rout as we take on the form side of the division, 20 games unbeaten, and the triumphant return of our ex-manager, who will be out to rub our noses in it.
He has justified his much maligned style of possession football, which he tried unsuccessfully to implement here over two seasons, by moving on to a club with better players who have proved it works, albeit with two ex-Swans in the side.
The only hope, and it’s a slim one, is that our players have enough pride left in them to show their ex-boss that they can compete and play football and not submit with just a whimper.
Luke Williams will have a big part to play in motivating the players this week. He clashes with his mentor on an equal footing for the first time and will want to impress.
