Swansea 10/11. Like finding money in the street. Get in now. The form is there for all to see and our players do not have Daniel to play for. Their motivation for this game will be on the floor.
The players reaction will be really interesting-you would hope they turn up and do their job, but clearly thing’s going on behind the scenes effect their performance - one way or another.
I agree, in the heat of a game you’re making decisions based on your instinct, no one is thinking “I’m not going for that ball because our head coach was sacked” not consciously anyway.
We hoped for a reaction after previous thrashings and the sad passing of Mr Wroe and never got one. I wouldn't hold your breath at a reaction from them to the head coach they all seemed to love, being relieved of his duties.
Could depend who is picked. There may be several players with a point to prove who haven't been given consistent game time (e.g Cavare, Pinnillos, Green, Styles, Schmidt, Thiam, Odour). Not that that list is particularly inspiring like.
