Conspiracy theory:

Keith Cooper (born 21 March 1948) is a Welsh former football referee in the English Football League and Premier League, and was also on the Welsh FIFA list.

He is also the father of Steve Cooper, manager of a Swansea side who have been awarded 4 penalties in 4 games.

Coincidence?

Their game v Luton in midweek off now too. Their only midweek window is the first week of May.

If they, have one more game postponed, they will likely have to play Tues and Thurs one week to fit them in.


Yep, their game next weekend against Coventry has also been called off

Possibility of fitting it in and around the Easter period? So an early KO on Easter Monday, a game on Wednesday evening (7th) and then back to the Saturday may be an option? Otherwise will be what you said/played after the scheduled end of the season

Regardless, I’m sure they’d have planned for this as there was always a fair chance of it happening


Rotherham must be in danger of a fine or points deduction as this is what the 6th game postponed in two waves of infection - something can't be working there.


Course they won't. Doesn't seem like any of the covid regulations are being enforced which is fairly disgraceful. Barely any cases nationwide now; they must make up a decent % of new ones.

Swansea have had a grand total of 1 shot on target, the penalty. Would be criminal if Blackburn don't win.

Awful isn’t it. Swansea commentary team seem weirdly content. Dellor would be having a spaffing meltdown telling us they all need dropping if we were in their position and playing like this.

We’ve actually had more pens than them this season.

1-1 FT. Not enough. They are effectively seven ahead with a game in hand. Win that and we won’t catch them. Once again they were second best.

Not really 7pts clear, if we were to close that 6pt gap it would imply us winning 2 games and them losing 2 so the GD gap of 7 at a very minimum gets reduced to 3.

It’s still a huge ask.

If thats the best they can do there`s no reason why we can`t catch them, lost at Huddersfield and home to Bristol city followed by two ref assisted victories, they were appalling tonight. and we still have to play them again.

I’m just looking at us making the play offs. We are too inconsistent to finish top two. I don’t think Swansea will go up automatically. Think it will be Watford who themselves are very similar to Swansea,

I was gonna post the same. Swansea and Watford seem to bore their opponents into submission. They have had a lot of luck as well. Terrible to watch.

Both are very defensive. No flair at all. Watford are just quietly doing just enough to win games. In fairness Swansea aren’t even doing that but still picking up results.

Before the international break they play at Luton, then face Bournemouth and Cardiff.

We have Forest, Brum and QPR.

It is probably unlikely but with those fixtures by 5pm on the 20th, we could even be level with them with them still to visit the Mad Stad. Long way to go still.
