That was an enjoyable game. The sun is shining, great atmosphere (both sets of fans), some good goals and a lovely send off for Joe Allen and Kyle Naughton.

The Championship is a ridiculous league.

The Championship is a ridiculous league.
This time last week, I enjoyed Arsenal against Real Madrid as a neutral.
Tonight, for some reason, I’m drawn to Real. No idea why… 😉🦢

Outstanding half from the #Swans. Full of energy and ideas - and looking dangerous.
The first two goals were well worked, and the third goal from Josh Key was something special.

Plymouth this evening.
The teams around us in the table (including Plymouth) have been picking up points lately, so we can’t be complacent.
We could be in for another scrap tonight.

Swans boss Alan Sheehan used the word ‘dogfight’ before the game. That’s exactly what it’s been so far.
No clear-cut chances for either side.

An important run of games between now and the end of the season - mostly against teams around us in the lower half of the table.
Make or break between now and May.
Let’s see how we go against an in-form Derby.

The worst possible start - a goal down after 3 minutes. Same old story - a mistake and we concede.
2 down after 20 minutes.
Burnley looking very comfortable with and without the ball.

A lovely goal from Eom separating the teams at the moment.
The scoreline is a good reflection of the first half. Swans the better side.
Let’s see what the second half brings.
