Well I was on the road today against Colchester. I've got Swansea sitting in 12th, while Colchester stands in 20th. So I should have an easy time, especially since I've got my new signing in the lineup for the first time. Swansea signed defender Kalifa Cissé from Boavista for nearly 6 million pounds. He is, by far, now the best player in the squad, and it should be a big boost when we come up against bigger teams. The result: Colchester United 0 - 3 Swansea City Minute Player Score 16" Connor 0 - 1 44" Akpala 0 - 2 87" Akpala 0 - 3 Injuries and Cards 25" Capp (yellow), Swansea City 64" Sissoko (yellow), Swansea City Akpala continues to impress, but I don't like Capp picking up a card. My other goalie is injured and if Capp gets suspended....
