Yes, saw that here but working for the club, I should know better than most whether he's coming or not and I really couldn't call it to be honest.

FWIW the scouts were at Huish Park on Tuesday night in abundance looking at him and others.

Struggling to bring myself to post today following Saturday's defeat. Awful goals conceded and we missed the Dobster for that attacking nouse.

To be fair, Preston are a form team at the moment but you have to ask yourself whether we are ready for the Premiership if we don't have the steel to grind out at least a point away at the bottom club.

Norwich on the other hand showed us how it should be done. Very concerned that we are going to get a thumping on Saturday - they are unbeaten in 18 or something?

ETA - I heard a rumour that Beattie sat on the team bus for half an hour, presumably sulking as a result of not being picked for the final teamsheet? Anyone else heard this? Could have contributed to the uncharacteristic attitude on the pitch....

We were very good on Saturday and 6-0 didn't flatter us - but....
Scunny were pretty dire to be honest. Can't remember them putting in a meaty challenge for the whole game, virtually to a man the body language was of a team who had accepted relegation.

This Saturday is a different prospect. We know we're gonna get a game from your lads and it has all the makings of a classic. While we're not short of attacking talent at the mo, Wes Hoolahan limped off with a suspected hamstring and I'd be amazed if he plays any part. He has been a big part of our success this season and we're sure to miss his creativity.

21 coaches already confirmed as making the trek from Norfolk to Wales, so it should be a good atmosphere.

For some reason we never play well against teams that on paper, should be there for the taking, it's not only this season that this has been the case. Dobbie was a big miss, but Rangel not starting was an ever bigger blow IMO. It'll be a different game on saturday.

Is there anything more frustrating than being a Swans fan?!!

How can we beat Norwich 3-0 on Saturday then stutter to a draw with Hull on Tuesday? We needed three points last night as we are now under pressure to get results away.....which we won't.

Everyone makes mistakes, and last night Brendan did. Why the hell did he not bring Pratley and Britton on for Allen and Dobbie to break up the midfield?? Allen is knackered and Dobbie seems to be lacking fitness - he also could not hit a barn-door with a banjo last night - 4 or 5 shots all within the penalty box put wide.

Gower is the man.

Indeed, excellent effort this season. Can the human mind imagine the carnage at Wembley if the Swans meet Cardiff?
