At the end of August, Swansea won 1-0 at Leeds to go top of the Championship and were drawing lots of praise from the pundits. They were top scorers in the division and were 8 points ahead of us.

Since that result, Swansea have managed

1 win in 7.
1 point from their last 4 home games.
5 goals scored.
9 conceded.

It's been a spectacular fall from top to 7th.

Over the same time, we have

still not won away.
10 points from our last 7 games
12 goals scored.
10 conceded.

Swansea's recent troubles have been at home, where they've struggled to score goals in more recent times. They've conceded 10 goals in 7 home league games (compared with us conceding 4 at the CCS). In contrast, their away form has been very good indeed. Ours hasn't. We have the worst away defensive record in the division, but also the 4th best scoring record.

It would appear that Swansea have difficulty breaking teams down at home, but have been able to frustrate teams away and pinch goals. They're not going to be able to play a counter attacking game against us as we'll sit back and let them play on the half way line. Their dilemma will be when to commit numbers to attack, knowing that one accurate long ball could be their undoing.

We're scoring goals at the moment, which is encouraging, especially away, where we've scored 2 in each of our last 3 away games. If we can shore up defensively and stop the mistakes, there's no reason why we can't win there.
