I would be disappointed to finish behind Watford. They didn't look up to much at all down here, even after taking the lead.

Tomorrow is huge. Not a make or break game, but in terms of laying down the gauntlet to everyone else. We've improved the squad during the window and are bang in form. Losing is inconceivable.

3 Points tomorrow will be massive even at this stage of the season, it would take us 2 points above Watford with a game in hand and 5 above Brentford with them having a game in hand on us. I still fancy Brentford are due a bad spell of results as well so hopefully tomorrow can be the start.
 
not overly confident tomorrow i must admit
 
Nor me, but we need the 3 points as Brentford have the game in hand. Hopefully the players can deliver.
 
Brentford looked good on the weekend, even playing a reduced first team. And that having 'sold' their two best players from last season.

Whereas I am, we have two new players and are coming off a great win on saturday without several key players.

We are going to win, believe me😉
 
Just don't lose tonight boys. I trust our defensive record will allow us to make up the difference across the rest of the season. A point will be plenty.
 
There is nobody in this league we can't beat, but I'd still take a draw tonight. Points on the board > games in hand.


Reading play Bournemouth on Friday so hopefully both will drop points in a 0-0 draw.
 
Didn't realise Brentford haven't lost in 16 league games, but I'm confident of getting the 3pts tonight.

I was surprised how bad Watford were down here, but they're a different team at home. One of the best home records in the league and also one of the worse away.
 
Yeah, 16 games unbeaten in the Championship of all divisions is very impressive and consistent. I’m not convinced that Norwich are certs for top two though so I think it’s not out of the question for us and Brentford to go up automatically.
 
A Pivotal game, some might say a draw would be ok, if the team has that attitude an automatic spot at the end will be less likely , keep it tight but go for it

Exactly, Swans need to win the majority of matches like this (home game against a promotion rival) to gain an automatic promotion spot.
