The first game between these two was played @ Sheffield Wed's pitch on Feb 17th. The game ended in a scoreless draw and set up tomorrows rematch in Swansea. In that game Swansea's manager was set on playing a revolving line up ahead of their league game at Brighton. It was priority #1 to maintain safety from league relegation over the chance of a big payday in the FA Cup. It worked for the most part as Swansea had the majority of posession but made very little of their minimal chances. So enter players such as Ayew and Dyer , Clucas and a formidable back line against Brighton on Saturday only to get spanked 4 - 1. Sheffield Wed went into a game at Millwall on Feb 20th and lost 2 - 1 and followed that up with a 4 - 2 home beating to Aston Villa. Along the way coach Jos Luhukay added a few more names to the ever expanding injury list.......
Still out:
Bannon
Lees
Westwood
Van Aken
Lieran Lee
Hutchison
Matias
Thorncity
Hooper
Forestini
Fletcher
For a team that is already hard pressed to field a decent starting 11 , it may be just a bit too much to expect any sort of result against a side that has a far deeper pool of players to draw from , regardless of the coaches priorities. Its a great chance for a team in need of some additional revenue , to create some additional revenue beating a wounded minnow on your home turf. I see Swansea taking this opportunity and making the most of it.
