| New Swansea City loan signing Stuart Roberts is set to be thrown straight into tonight's team to play Leyton Orient at The Vetch Field. Roberts will re-join the Swans after leaving for a £100,000 during Tony Petty's controversial era. |
| The fans favourite in his last spell at the Vetch is expected to
partner Lee Trundle up front with Kevin Nugent expected to be out injured
for tonight's crucial game. The news of his one-month loan deal will come as a huge boost to the fans and the players with such a passionate fan of the club returning home. Indeed you could say that Swansea City Football Club runs in Stuart's blood being the nephew of Wyndham Evans, a legend during the dramatic rise through the divisions in the late seventies. This boost could be exactly what the Swans need to get their league campaign back on track with a new air of optimism flooding the club. Izzy Iriekpen should be back for Swansea after he mist Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Kidderminster, probably partnering Alan Tate at centre back with Kris O'Leary still out injured. James Thomas (shin), Lenny Johnrose (calf), Karl Connolly and Kieron Durkan (both thigh) all miss out for the Swans again. THE SQUAD Swansea City: From; Freestone, Byrne, Hylton, Iriekpen, Tate, Britton, Martinez, Robinson, Maylett, Roberts, Trundle, Nugent, Murphy, Howard, Jones, Corbisiero, Pritchard, Coates. |
