well done Swansea on getting their 1st competitive goal of the season,

It took just 3 games, and league two opposition for swansea to open their account this season, shrewsbury towns Cansdell-Sherriff heading home into the back of his own net, giving the swans a well deserved lead,

it took only 9 minutes for shrews to get back level. one would suggest swansea had a weak side, but having included, moreira Tate, Williams, allen, gower, grahem, lita it was far from a reserve side.

shrewsbury town then upped the pace which swansea found to hard to deal with adventually Buckling in the 67th minute and then shrews Wroe finishing off a fine night, making it 3-1 .

It could of been worse for swansea as a clearly more dominant shrewsbury town side had 8 efforts on target and also a solid display from cardiff born joe jacobson almost setting up a fourth as shrews hit the cross bar,

and that concluding a good night as premier league giants swansea attracted a massive 4,063 at the meadow.

Next up for swansea is Sunderland this saturday , who we wish all the best and good luck on the journey down from wearside :ayatollah:

Give them time. Bare in mind, like us, they've had a fair few players leave and had to rebuild the sqaud. I hate them and want them to go but I've gotta a funny feeling they will suprise us.

to be fair. and i know its good banter there out. swansea are better out of the cup. a few serious injuries could cost them dearly. survival in the prem is the main thing for them this season. after all it is a mickey mouse cup? :roll:

without reserve games. i think its a good chance for the manager to look at the fringe players. and a chance to throw in a couple of youngsters. in a competitive match. i reall dont think swansea. or us for that matter. would really take heart from winning last night. fact. sorry my opinion :lol:

Im a modest kind of guy and in an honest neutral perspective If sunderland give you a pasting on saturday which I'm half expecting It could all be deep water and extremely hard to pick up 3 points away from home,
although I will admit you do have good away support, but sometimes in the premier league thats not enough

arsenal away, west brom home & chelsea away. 3 hard games there. have to beat sunderland or they are in trouble! no pressure though eh

most newly promoted sides earn most of their points in the first half of the season whilst the other teams suss them out. they could be in big trouble. the last thing they will want is to beat derbys record. lose to sunderland and i reckon its on :lol:
