So it's:

Afed GK
Rosy RB
Plastic LB
Mills, DC
Cisse, DC
Pearce DC
Karacan DM
Davies AM
HRK left wing
Henry right wing
Church SC

Very strange team 5-4-1.

Actually WSF probably has it right. Still confuddled.

Hmm.

No, see my team above.

[Einstein agogo]

nice to see kebe getting a rest ,hopefully a long one

[Archie's penalty]

I like that team now. Two defensive midfielders gives our attacking players more room to attack.

[Kevin Doyles Right Foot]

That team looks so weak, wheres the goals gunna come from?

[URZZ]

I would of liked to of seen Tabb, Long, Hunt, and Harper start tbh.

Long is bad enough on his own, but Church.. rahhh.

+1

[Royalee]

Thinking about it I'm reasonably happy with that team as long as Henry's attitude is right. We've got a bit more physical presence in the team and pace than Saturday.

[Wycombe Royal]

I would say the formation is identical to previous matches.

Mills replaces Cisse at centre back.
Cisse replaces Karacan as DM
Karacan replaces Tabb in midfield and plays alongside Davies
Robson-Kanu replaces Kebe on the left
Henry replaces Church on the right
Church replaces Long up front.

[Huntley & Palmer]

Nice to see BR listen to me then after Newcastle

[Ginger Ninjas]

Can't be bothered to work it out, but from the corresponding fixture last season, there must be at least a dozen changes to the two team sheets. Whilst people are having a field day on here about our two game 'crisis', Swansea's team has also been weakened significantly by transfers out and injuries.

[Archie's penalty]

Well I hope it works.

I am doubting Church but willing to give him a bit more time. Only a bit mind. Especially when we have Nhunt here.

Marek still short of fitness (as is Hunt) - Kebe injured

[Kevin Doyles Right Foot]
