    Yeah I'd expect Britton to be given the armband but there's no way he can play the majority of games at his age. I think Cork or Routledge wouldn't be bad options.

    I think Guidolin's achieved great things with sides even smaller than Swansea, and I am very sure he will not get Swansea relegated.

    Didn't see the game, but from what I've heard it wasn't the best or most encouraging performances from Ki. He's had all summer off, including the last couple of games in May so it was up to him to get his fitness up and it's a shame from him if he's not up to a decent standard. It looks like it might set him back a few weeks at the start of the season, which is hardly ideal for him when Leroy Fer's getting a winning goal and Jack Cork's putting in a great opening game performance.

    he had all summer off but he was in bootcamp for a month. don't expect him to be fit for a while. in general, most seem to take a while til they regain their fitness & form (or struggle with injuries.. hope this won't be the case with Ki).

    Well I mean, you'd have expected going to bootcamp for a month wouldn't have done his fitness any harm at a time when most of our players were on holiday soaking up the sun. Ki does look to be stronger than he was, but I'm more concerned about what he was doing for the rest of the summer. He's come back just as late as the Euro's lads, and seems to unnecessarily have given himself a set back with fitness for this stage of the season. At least Sigurdsson and Taylor have achieved some success for that set back.

    actually, it is the complete opposite (with the possibility of picking up few injuries that could be of annoyance the whole season). it kills/damages their body... as far as sporting fitness is concerned. it takes a while to regain their strength.. blah blah blah.

    Ki came on at 68' to replace Fer.

    Swansea loses the game 2-0 thanks to the fantastic work of Shaun Maloney who came on at 73' to score a goal and an assist.

    Hell no gunes is the reason why KSY got called up to the NT so early.
    Gunes actually played 18 year olds
