Just found out I can only make comments with lap-top after trying for weeks to make comments using my kindle fire.  So my comment on the Swansea game is that a few years ago a home game against them would have been an almost certain win and we have to get ourselves back into that same mentality.  OK Swansea have had a few years good output but compared to The Albion they really should be seen as very beatable with us at home.  Our aspirations should be competing with the likes of Everton and Newcastle Utd for top ten positions and seeing home wins against Swansea and Aston Villa as more or less routine.  If we continue to self-denigrate ourselves and whinge about our own players shortcomings then we deserve to rattle around in the relegation dog fight area of the league.  The difference between a team winning and getting better and a team sliding is CONFIDENCE.  I hope Pulis does instil this but it's really down to Lescott and Fletcher to pick the kids up and get them going.  We are a gnat's hair away from being a more positive, aggressive and durable team.  And......we must get our striped shirt back ASAP!

For what it's worth Swansea are above both Newcastle and Everton in the table.

Does anyone know if Mulumbu is available for this game?
