FT: SWANSEA CITY 3 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[jon1959]

Maybe we're all over-reacting?

Mick has only got three players out of position, abandoned the change that produced the improved performance against Reading, ignored Sam Bowen, and adopted the 'must not lose' negative and defensive system that failed so badly against West Brom.

We may have magically rediscovered the art of defending, remembered how to press, and are heading for an uplifting 1 - 0 win from a set piece.

Or not.

Surely Bowen's injured, even Mick wouldn't throw our best player from the last game out of the squad just for shits and giggles, would he?!

The fact he’s not a sub makes me think he’s injured or still suffering with the illness that forced him to miss the Wales Under 21 match.

Mick was asked about Bowen on Friday in his pre-match press conference. He said he was over the illness that kept him out of the Welsh u21 squad and was good to go - along with everyone else bar Tom Sang. Maybe he picked up an injury in Friday training?

He’s recovered from his illness. It’s an absolute joke he’s not even on the bench today.
